You know your life is heading in the right direction when the anchovies move from the food cupboard to the condiment shelf, never to return.

Also, the trendy dude at Flowfield Unity liked my comments and linkage so much that he linked me back. What a dude.
One thing that's not really taking off is the Great Guessing Game Challenge involving the picture that appears as a background to the word "Writing" at the top of this blog. The reason for this failure obviously lays with me, so I'll explain the rules (again)
1. Look at the picture.
2. Guess what it could possibly have to do with the most recent blog entry.
3. Write your guess in the comments section.
4. WIN WIN WIN!!! If your guess is the closest or most original YOU will go in the new scoreboard section at the bottom of the blog with the tally adding up over the weeks, months and years.
Good luck, all of those who can be arsed having a shot.
This entry's header is an easy one to guess the connection, but there are MAJOR points for guessing the geographic location...

An explanation of The Joy Division Litmus Test
Although it may now be lost in the mysts of thyme, the poll below is still relevant to this blog. In the winter of 2008, Mele and I went to live in Queensland. In order to survive, I bluffed my way into a job at a Coffee Club.
It was quite a reasonable place to work: the hours were regular, the staff were quite nice, it wasn't particularly taxing on my brain.
There were a few downsides: In the six weeks or so that I worked there, there was about a 90% staff turnover (contributed to by my leaving). This wasn't seen as a result of the low pay, the laughability of staff prices or the practice of not distributing tips to staff, rather it was blamed on the lack of work ethic among Bribie Island's youth.
However, one of the stranger aspects of the cultural isolation that touched our lives during our time "up there" was the fact that nobody at my work had heard of the band Joy Division.
The full explanation is available here.
But please, interact a little further and vote in my ongoing poll. The results are slowly mounting up, proving one thing: people read this blog are more well-informed about Joy Division than anyone who works at the Coffee Club on Bribie Island.

Looks to me like a bunch of Goa'uld symbiotes.......but it's probably a bunch of raw anchovies. Location? Not on MY pizza!!
