The Goblins have finally sent the gory details. The course starts on 21st February, it is 3 hours per week and runs for 17 weeks. Apparently those who score 80% or higher get to be considered for the honour of working for HR Block as junior goblins at taxation time. Cunning little buggers aren't actually guaranteeing jobs to the brainy buggers. So the first thing to do is to slack off on Coursera and make a massive effort to get that 80 plus. It's not like the course is free or anything. It actually costs $550 all up so is a nice little earner for them too. But it does seem to offer the best path out of the awful aged care sector.
Been a bit decadent with Fringe. But since most of the serpent visits are to the last minute half price tix shows, it's quite a cheap form of entertainment. Best so far was called "Briefs" starring a pair of Samoan Drag Queens and friends all the way from Centrelink Ipswich. It's almost typical SBS viewing ;) but very un PC. The rest of the male crew do circus acts in various stages of undress. Try imagining Priscilla Queen of the Dessert meets the Full Monty. Tonight's half price offering was a cabaret show about the history of the Femme Fatale which starred two ex opera singers who do very good impersonations of Marilyn Monroe and Marlene Dietrich amongst others.
It's so much fun being in a place where freaks are celebrated. The whole fringe thing is just so wonderfully Weasleyish right down to the kitsch furniture and funny outfits. On Tuesday the gorgeous urban garden was filled with scarecrows getting up to all sorts of naughty things. But now they've all run off to sit in the double decker bus off on some other mysterious adventures Who would ever think that Perth could be so quirky?
