So I’m too sad after coming back from the States to come up with a decent costume; I’m going to do SFX makeup all over my face until it looks like I’ve leaned into an orbital sander.
But what should I wear with it? Party dress? Jeans and a t-shirt? Bikini?
Damned if this isn’t the most promising gallery title in recent memory.

Why yes, I am procrastinating!
Molls, Clem, and I tried out some Fosters and Coopers beer for Taste Test Tuesday. What do you think about Fosters? Is it Australian for beer or Australian for sucks?
As you can see, I took my duties as Australian cultural attache very seriously while I was in the States.

It’s the little details that give stories like this that little bit extra.

Man, every day I regret not extending my stay past October 31st a little more.
Andrew W.K. gave a lecture/motivational talk at CMJ today (yes, it was amazing). Here he is out front with Josh from Indiana and Steven from Delaware (both 18). They drove three hours just to hopefully meet him. They ended up going to the lecture, being his backing vocalists/dancers, and then being chased backstage by their hero.
I think my heart exploded.

Exactly how long do you have to take leave of your senses not to realise that a bucket full of milk, chocolate, coffee, sugar, and whipped cream might be unhealthy?
GET SOME PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY, PEOPLE.
CHUCKMOLLS Episode 7: Faygo Taste Test Tuesday #TTT #TasteTestTuesday
Molls, Clem, and I, along with our secret studio audience, tried a little grape flavored Faygo to really kick off Taste Test Tuesday. Fun times, and I think it cured my gout.
If this doesn’t become the next big thing then I don’t know anything about internets.
This dog stopped next to me in Times Square today. In case it’s not clear, it was wearing an ‘Adidas’ tracksuit and a yellow raincoat.

Saw these guys last night at Bell House. They played a bunch of songs from the record in a stripped-back, nu-folkie manner; it really was crushingly beautiful. Bitte Orca keeps rocketing to the top of all the charts that swirl around my head constantly.
(The crowd, on the other hand, MY GOD; they made Melbourne audiences look quiet and reverential. Shut up, dudes! Nobody cares about your dental plan or ex-boyfriend/girlfriend!
How sad it is that a man of such talent, of such capability for kindness, of such unusual intelligence, should now so suddenly be spirited away at the age of only 48.
Well, I feel that I should say: nonsense. Good riddance to him, the freeloading bastard, I hope he fries.
This is what happens when you leave your iPhone on ‘camera’ and pop into the St Marks all-night supermarket for “supplies” after a number of free-poured vodkas. WA-HEY!

I think this is probably the most compelling bit of coverage of the story thus far.
