a good sign that i watch too much tv - i was roused from my usual realtiy tv apathy last night by the thought that chanel cole might not get through the first round of public voting in australian idol. yes, i voted. yes, it was more than once. now i am not interested in voting again till the third round, when billie is on. then i might just have to leave it up to the rest of australia. i am none too pleased that yasmin got the wildcard - if only we could vote to get people out instead of keeping them in - but maybe it'll be fun to watch, ie cat amongst the pidgeons and all that. maybe what australian idol needs is a good, old-fashioned bitch fight. she could be the one to make that happen.in other non-reality television related news, i will be doing a reading tomorrow night as part of a spoken word performance night at bar open called 'translated letters of an alien'. i am reading 'destiny', the short story that was published in meanjin. just checked my email and i got a bit of spam from someone called 'cure my snoring'. what is that - a plea or an offer? meanwhile, the spam in my hotmail account has hit 200 items - so time for another cleanout, perchance a spampoem. trust me - it's 100% spam email titles. so go ahead and read spampoem five.
