Exercise more (I used to).

Apotheosis of Hustle

Been meaning to mention this. Last Friday I listed to Mornings with Zan on TripleJ and she had Stars Take five and answer some dream 'want' ads.

I'd never heard of Stars before. As it was, I didn't hear any of their music - instead, they picked a play list that was:

1. Roxy Music - Pyjamarama
2. Elvis Costello & the Attractions - New Lace Sleeves
3. Wu-Tang Clan - Bring the Rukkas
4. Apostle of Hustle - Folkloric Feel
5. The Go-Betweens - Streets of Your Town

All sort of nice stuff, but I was blown away by the Apostle of Hustle track Folkloric Feel (you'll find it at 35:22 in the postcast of the show). Must find more of their stuff!

Belligerent Boofy

I think the anti-arthritis pills are doing Pegasus a lot of good.

Last Wednesday I went shopping and was loaded down with a trolley load of groceries and two sets of works combos from the chip shop. As I was walking down Charlton St what do I see but Kevin with the dogs coming down the street! Both dogs are pulling like mad after they see me. Anyway, I got up closer and Kevin gives me Pegasus's lead and we march back to the house.

Anyway, we just get near #42 and Peggy's "enemy" dogs come down backing behind the fence, and he barks and rushes back - and then his collar snaps in three and the lead (one of those retractable ones) reels back and flies into my hair! Eventually I got him home by dragging him by his flea collar.

Fair enough - he's had that same collar for the last 6-7 years (I repaired it with twine once) but all the same it was quite dramatic. I bought him a replacement on Friday, which is a strange patterned thing with plastic clips. It looks strong however.

Also, he's been playing more with Hallie and running after the ball more as well. Good ol' Belligerent Poogie!
