Confessional writing is everywhere nowadays. Reveal a big secret, something terrible that has happened to you, and people love it. I want a bit of this confessional action. Here goes.

People who smoke inside closed workplaces are selfish bastards. Employers who allow smoking are just as bad. I can't come to any other conclusion.

I must say I'm finding the music scene here annoyingly insular. Second rate, wholly uninteresting acts like Franz Ferdinand, The Streets and The Bees are lauded from a great height. It says something that the most lively scene seems to be Liverpool with it's semi-stoned 'sea-shanty' sound (ie. The Coral, The Zutons).

It’s all about the orthodoxy, says Paul Kelly. A pre-Howard foreign policy orthodoxy is mentioned no less than six times in his article in the Weekend Australian:
The most vital conflict triggered by the Howard Government is over Australia's place in the world, where John Howard has broken sharply from the orthodoxy of decades...

I've discovered the secret, or secrets as it is, to blogging! Avoid visiting certain highly intelligent bloggers until after you have posted for the day. This avoids any worries about quality of posts. I wouldn't, of course, say who I avoid until after posting. But I am more than happy to say I make an effort to visit Tim Blair before I do any posting.

The Australian's Paul Toohey deserves credit. He writes fairly balanced articles, and he’s one of the few journalists to write about Aboriginal violence. However, some of the people he quotes, and seems to support, are a little questionable. Toohey, in his article in the Australian last Friday, talks about anthropologist Peter Sutton (who is described by Paul Sheehan as a Timhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09248184451639036968noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5130182.post-956252712003-06-13T21:41:00.000+10:002003-06-13T21:48:17.000+10:00What I'm Listening To
Those hoping Radiohead would put away the laptop and pick up their guitars will be disappointed with Hail To The Thief. This is good.

I HAVE no particular interest in Metallica, but I thought I would have a listen to some of the new songs off St. Anger. I like it. I really do.

The Stars and Stripes used by US Marine Corporal Ed Chin to cover the statue in Baghdad's Firdos Square was under the debris at the Pentagon following the September 11 al-Qaeda terrorist attack.
Daily Telegraph, 11 April 2003
We asked U.S. Central Command in Qatar if the Tele’s claim could possibly be true.
I seriously doubt it…

Do you go with the Parishian style essay blog? A Gareth Parker style political news blog with short and snappy comments attached? A James Russell type blog with broad ranging news? It's hard to decide.

The uncluttered raunch of the band's sound was enough, for the moment, to distract listeners from the fact that most songs sagged about halfway through, and that the band's two-piece arrangements often sounded like rehearsal tapes.
