Description of my day

Okay, I told you that I would not describe the events of my day unless the circumstances in fact warranted it. How about I tell you today's circumstances, and you can judge of they warrant publication?

Circumstances:
BJ and I went to the ABC studio in Ultimo tonight to be part of the studio audience for The Chaser's War on Everything. We went with Aileen and Stephen (Aileen organised it), and mum and dad.

I reckon it was great. I know BJ had fun too, she was laughing more than me (and you know how much I laugh). Even more interesting was the fact that mum and dad liked it too. I guess its one of those unusual times when both parents and children find the same thing funny. (I don't think my parents think that The Simpsons is very funny, but I still think its good value).

I think The Chaser rocks - I have the old CNNNN newsbar scrolling on the bottom of my desktop, just above my taskbar. The short gags are well worth the nauseous sensations I experience when the newsbar is scrolling across my peripheral vision. See what I mean by The Chaser:

I think they are one of the funniest satirical groups to reach our media for a long time. There are many reasons why I like them, one of them is because they are what one might call "ballsy". That is, they do funny stuff that I wouldn't dare do myself, but would love to watch another do it. For example, asking Malcolm Turnbull "Pursuit Trivia" questions during a press conference.

Anyway - off to bed for me!!
