Delays

More and more delays, even google seems delayed by posting mothers day gift ideas at the top of my page, or maybe it’s just incredibly early. Come on, just a bit over 300 days to mother’s day! get in early!
My flight has been delayed now till Saturday, my enthusiasm for reading about Bangkok on the net has diminished, I think I’ve pretty much read all that I need to read before turning up, the only thing I have not read is the thousands of men whinging how they have had their heart ripped out by a Thai girl. How very unfortunate. It seems that Thai’s are typecast (at least the women) as these kaniving farm girls turned prostitutes who will milk you for everything you’ve got.
Anyway, I’m not one into typecasting, but I’m not out there to find a girlfriend anyway (I’m not anywhere for that purpose) so I suppose I will be safe from their theoritical claws of steel.

I came across some good stuff on the web today, and I’d be rude if I didn’t first mention where I came across it, I found a new (for me) Perth based blog called Ponderance. It really is quite kick ass…I found it following freakychicks links (who I noticed included me – thanks Lori).

Anyway, as to what I found perticulary interesting, apperantly the phenomenon known as flashmobs has come to Perth, basically people meeting for no particular reason, except in Perth, it’s called buzz dance, and people come together at a certain time and place, dance for a minute or two then dissapate as if nothing had happened.
The next one will be on the 18th, so I will miss it by a day.. 🙁 Here are the details anyway 🙂

SUIT UP! BuzzMob is back!

In October 2004 the Hay Street Mall went footloose for 5 fantastic minutes as we returned to the 80s. Its time to bring the dancing back to the streets with our first BuzzMob for 2005 – dedicated to those poor souls ?working hard for the money?! For maximum joy, please follow these instructions carefully:

Flash point ? 1.00pm, Wednesday 18th May 2005

Theme ? Suits. Please dress and act the part of an office worker on their lunch break. We encourage creativity in design. Bad ties, safari suits, tragic office wear ? do with it what you will.

Where to go – Central Park, at the intersection of Hay and William Streets Perth. Assemble on the lawn area directly across from the Wesley Church and in front of the Qantas office.

When to arrive – 5 minutes beforehand ie-12.55pm, stretch those muscles and wait for a boom box to start playing the song.

What to do – At 1.00 pm, if not yet suitably dressed, put on your tie, don your jacket and a battery run boom-box will start the music. Now is the time to show your best (or worst) Office Christmas Party moves!

When the music is turned off (1 song only), quickly dress back to normal, and disperse as though nothing has happened.

Help spread the word! You can register for receiving updates and for future events at mob@buzzdance.com.au.

For sure it looks like a bunch of hippies in the photos, but it might just be interesting to attend.. one of those things for a maybe next time. The other thing that caught my eye was the Searchscape of manhattan.. I really can’t bothered explaining it, just go and take a look for yourself.
