hyperpeople

At the age of 46 I've realized that I'm not actually going to become cleaner. Oh no. I've admitted defeat. And have hired a cleaner. Who comes in and does for me. Rather Edwardian, that. A bachelor gentlemen with a flat in the city and a lady who does for him. I could be Sherlock Holmes. Or Henry Higgins.

I was actually feeling a bit down. Then I watched this:

Last Friday (the 4th of July) I recorded a segment for Australia's trashiest tabloid TV program, "Today Tonight". All about TiVO coming to Australia - a decade late. Note the snazzy red jumper I'm wearing... ;-)

There is a story. And I will tell it -- soon. But you will not believe it.

Sydney, Sydney, Melbourne, Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane, Wollongong, Sydney, Adelaide, Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane, Brisbane, and Sydney.

Yes, that's on the bumper of an Australian VW Golf (right-hand drive, natch, because we drive on the left here), next to a NSW license plate. In other words, this automobile is in every way Australian. Yet somehow, displayed proudly next to that plate, there's an Obama 08 bumper sticker.

Which tells you just how important this contest is to all of us here in Sydney.
