howie’s halfpipe

thats right its a bidet, one of those things that you wonder why on earth people would use instead of toilet paper.

Well Jenny and i saw our new house for the first time today it is a really cool house! ducted air conditioning, 4 bedrroms, 2 lounge rooms, 2 bathrooms, backyard and big car post. We even get a pool table!

The disconearning thing is the bidet. I just dont think it can be a pleasent experience to park your date over a bowl then squirt water at it. I fnd it all a bit gross but living in a house with a bidet i’m scared that curiosity will get the better of me and on a quiet sunday afternoon after i will find myself hovering over the bidet cleaning my bum witha jet of water.

i’m scared.

last night saw click.

tonight i had a can of coke from Israel. It tasted like a coke but with a sublte flavour difference.

Yesterday marked the 50th aniversay of the roller door.

Jenny and I went down to the ABC studios in ultimo today to see a tapeing of enough rope with andrew denton.
It was fun I really enjoyed it, I love tv studios they are so fun with all the cameras and lights and people looking important with headsets on. The audience warm up guy wasn’t very good, but at least he thought he was funny.
The first guest was Kevin spacey but it was over satellite but that didn’t matter it was a really good interview, they where silly together and Kevin answered all Andrews questions really well/ Kevin seems like a really nice guy, really down to earth.
The next guest was Bernie Banton and his wife. Bernie is a sufferer from an asbestos related disease which hi contracted from his work with the big company James hardie. He is on a oxygen machine. James Hardie really seems like a dodgy corporation and Bernie is advocating on behalf of all those who have been affected and will be affected by asbestos related illness. And trying to ensure that james hardie does the moral and right thing by its ex employees and pays some form of compensation to the victims, as the company kept using asbestos products after they knew it was harmful.
 

It was a good interview and after it was finished being recorded Andrew encouraged all of us to write letters to pollies to be a voice make sure that these people can be compensated.
 

I really enjoyed being there although I needed to wee so bad and I couldn’t go I was stuck in the studio for about 3 and a half hours. And in a little break the not very good warm up man gave out fantails to everyone but I didn’t et one.
 

it wasnt looking good for the entire first half of the game. poor old swans where having a shocker. the docers wherent doing much better but they did manage to stay in front. but by the 4th quater the swans had it under control. its about time its not as much fun going to the afl when they loose.

July has come upon us. And july can mean only one thing. Its howie’s halfpipes birthday!!!!!!!! On the 10^th of July this little insignificant site with more than its fare share of typos and spelling mistakes will turn 4 years old.
 

The other thing that will happen in july is that I will have my 50,000 visitor.
My prediction is that the 50,000^th visitor will be on July 26.
 

Boy oh boy the 50,000 visitor will win the grandest prize of them all (yet to be thought of).
 

But in the meantime sit back relax and pretend there is a nice montage of my blog posts from the last 4 years floating and fading across the screen with some tacky slow music behind it.
