The Return of the Serpent

[izmeina]

Izzie slinks into Cyberia after the best part of a month absence. Or more correctly said, hanging around in other lurking grounds than the usual

The squiggling frenzy that was Camp Nanowrimo is over, the visitors from overseas are gone and life is slowly returning to abnormal.
So much stuff going on locally and out there in the big bad world but feeling too drained and brain dead to gossip about any of it

Maybe in the next few weeks will get around to catching up and doing a bit of stuff in the Lair too. The place has been invaded by feral nasturtiums and the pretty pom pom blossoms of the wattles are popping up everywhere

There's broad beans and dragon fruit to be planted and general decluttering and goblin business to attend to also
Then there's a certain birthday to attend to in the next few weeks. Aside from lots of bottle of booze, what on earth do you get the mother who has got everything?

Now it's time to slink off into the darkness. Got loads of procrastinating to do to make up for the lack of it last month

A welcome return of the green serpent of the West.

I'm sure you'll like this Tea Party -

The Mad Hatter

Izzie just loves tea parties.


A knife is too clean and quick. Let's toast him to a crisp. And let's hope that Lewis Carroll's ghost does not sue for defamation

It was very nice of Monsanto to donate the corn flakes and the tasty wheat biscuits

But it looks like the Red Queen could easily lose her head with all those half baked ideas of hers. Then the mad monk will be smiling. And then we'll all be in very deep hot water.
Scary times indeed

Well I think the Red Queen will just continue ignoring the Mad Hatter and get on with getting her legislation passed in the House. She can do nothing about The Parrott and Abbott's other loony-tunes supporters or the rabid Murdoch Media pack, so she shouldn't bother responding to them.

When Murdoch's web sites disappear behind the pay wall next month I wonder if the rabid flock of vultures who comment there will cough up to continue to post their venomous vomit, the strangest mix of climate change deniers, misogynists and right-wing nutters, true loons and that is being unkind to the poor innocent birds. Maybe it will lessen the impact of the Murdoch minions. Interesting excerpt of Robert Manne's Quarterly essay piece featured in SMH yesterday -

and another excerpt this morning -

I'm hoping Australians who've fallen for the Abbott spin and Murdoch muck will wake up from their self-deluded fantasies of being pitifully deprived and hard up, especially those that are earning $150,000 or more. This downward envy of the poor, the desperate boat arrivees and anyone who receives some form of government social security payment is pathetic and distasteful.

Hi Izzie! Just getting reacquainted with LJ and my LJ friends. I always loved your posts. I can't believe how consistently in-character you've been all these years. Hugs.

Glad to see you back in LJ land (although Dreamwidth is much more kosher and they don't go around selling users' souls)
Was beginning to think that you had gone to a certain vacation camp in Cuba for a bit of rest and relaxation ;)

They'll never take me alive.
