Lots going on in my head and in life as I once again settle into a regular routine. I have no planned trips for a good two months now (until my mother dearest visits), so with any luck I can finally make more time to get stuff down for the benefit of any readers I may have.
Tonight I am excitable:
1. FOOTY'S BACK FOR REAL
And it starts with the Crows! I thought it was next week, so bonus. Although I'll be taping it as I have a Rotaract event and then opening night of the Travelling Film Festival to attend... busy times.
2. THE MINDY PROJECT IS BACK TOO
What awesomeness. Just as I'd resigned myself to thinking Seven had screwed around with yet another program they decide to cut the How I Met Your Mother double to one episode to fit it in as of next week. While I love Mother, I'm really glad about this. I hope it was because people complained. If you're not on the Mindy train (I didn't even have to give it time) then shame, shame, shame.
3. AMAROO HOTEL FOOD PAST THEIR SCHNITTIES IS GOOD
I'm pretty sure I've not eaten there besides cheap schnitty Wednesday after the one time during my first few days in Dubbo. Tonight I had grilled barramundi half price and it was real good. However, the green beans are still questionable.

When you know that you're in charge of your intentions, then you'll come to know that you're in charge of your entire world.
Jealousy is really a demand that someone love you in a certain way, and you saying, "It isn't fair" when they don't. It comes from a lack of self-confidence.

Turns out it even has its own Facebook page. I'm torn between what is right and wrong with the mullet and so am yet to join it. The mystery for me continues as it gives no explanation as to why he has grown it as such.
To Collingwood and briefly on a better note, Dale Thomas' hair is looking good cropped after his shave for charity. This was news to me, I didn't recognise him lol.
Then there's Dane Swan, who continues to take me by surprise. I'm not a fan of Collingwood by any means, but I appreciate this guy's talent. It's just a shame to see him go from this unassuming humble guy to wanting to stand out with all the tattoos and a new military-style do that makes him look like a skinhead from the 80s. Sorry man.
This combination does nothing for Swan whatsoever. He was one of the first to really bring the tattoo sleeve to the game (not a good thing in my opinion), and now he's going full pelt. Yes he plays for Collingwood, but even with that shame on him it's still a bit much. I kept thinking I was watching a game from 1982 in HD or something with all of these elements combined.
I have mixed opinions on the whole tattoo thing, but focusing on the game and its obvious explosion of tattooed players, Swan (and Dayne Beames among others) have singlehandedly brought the overdone pointless tattoos back. Look at the hand tattoos on Swan now, and LEG tattoos (for me the worst). He's putting them on places that scream 'bikie!!!' and disappointingly it distracts you (well me at least) from the game/talent.
What I don't like the most about his bogan revival is that there's no real reason for it. He said so in an SMH article published yesterday. Seriously dude, you won a Brownlow and that's cool, but you've clearly let it get to your head. Stop now before you regret it. Please. And Maric, your locks have to go.
