Who gives a f*ck about an Oxford comma? → mediabistro.com

Now that the University of Oxford has dropped the Oxford comma from their style guide, I shall henceforth call it the Awesome comma and continue to use it AS MUCH AS I LIKE.

“There are three rules that I live by: never get less than twelve hours sleep; never play cards with a guy who has the same first name as a city; and never get involved with a woman with a tattoo of a dagger on her body. Now you stick to that, and everything else is cream cheese.” —Coach Finstock, ‘Teen Wolf’

At a weird party in Fitzroy North.

There is no music.

Thom is drinking wine out of a can.

I am confused.

Picked up a prescription from the Elizabeth St Pharmacy today.

The paper bag was so big that I could’ve stuck a celery and a French stick in it and made it a ‘just been to the supermarket’ prop in a really crap movie. 

I don’t know if I’m mad or just impressed.

Hey, it’s more Walking Dead.

No, it’s Sarah Palin’s Alaska.

Parklife 2011

Parklife 2011, I am going to put my mouth on your mouth. I’m going to give you my gift. I’m going to touch your swimsuit area. And a whole other bunch of 30 Rock euphemisms for sex. 

Because you are awesome. 

The Streets. Lykke Li. Simian Mobile Disco. Diplo. Death From Above 1979. Digitalism. Katy B. Santigold. Nero. Sebastian. Mstrkrft. And so on and so forth.

Delicious. Let festival season 2011/2012 begin.

“Altona residents attempting to get to Parliament House for a protest planned for 12.30pm today about poor rail services on their line have been thwarted — after Metro this morning cancelled all trains until further notice.” —

Rail protest thwarted by cancelled trains

This is how Australia does irony.

For reasons not yet clear to me, I really enjoy referring to Craig on Masterchef as ‘Craig 43 Professional Musician’.

My friend Chris saw me using a payphone on Swanston St and asked me if it was something totally edgy and cool that hipsters are doing now. You know - a total backlash to technology. The Lomo of phones, if you will.

I had to tell him that I actually just forgot to pay my phone bill again.

Bimbo’s now does gluten-free pizza for a mere $2 extra.

I am so happy. I might even cry.

“Like pawnshop furniture or arrowroot biscuits, I’m cheap and I’m everywhere and I’m good for five minutes.” —You Just Don’t Do It For Me Friend - Tim Rogers and the Twin Set (from the album What Rhymes With Cars and Girls, which I just selected as my number one in the Triple Hottest 100 Australian Albums of All Time)

Hi, Tumblr! Long time, no see - amirite??

After moving house to the lovely Fitzroy North two weeks ago, we finally got the Internet connected. GOSH. So after weeks of silence, expect more banal attempts at wit and wonderment from Eye on Melbourne.

You know you missed me.
