Wolfmother

Wolfmother and wolf & cub represent 3 generation of
wolves, so ive been told by someone in the music industry.
The wolfmother being the cub's grandmother.
All things aside, I got the wolfmother album the
other day, and its really good. People Ive been talking
to have been not that enthusiastic about it, although
it has obviously had enormous commercial success. Are
people jealous of their success or do they really hate
the music ? I mean if you liked led zeppelin or the white
stripes, it seems like wolfmother would be your bag. Wolf
& cub are pretty good, especially considering they're a
couple of generations behind wolfmother.

High stakes poker

High stakes poker is probably the best made tv show
going around. All the best players in the world

from the show in live tournaments:
- Negreanu
- Doyle Brunson
- Phil Laak (unabomber)
- Gus Hansen
- Erik Lindgren
- John Juanda
- Jennifer Harman
good players still to go - mattusow , hellmuth, chan,
esfandiari, minh ly, Farha, greenstein, freddie deeb.

trilby vs the bilby

One of them you can wear a hat at the melbourne cup ?
The answer the trilby. Of course the bilby is the small
marsupial bandicoot like animal. The bibly being Australia's
answer to the easter bunny. However it would be kind of
tripped out if everyone who wearing trilbies at the melbourne
cup , chose to wear live bilbies. Be a nightmare, but it could
work.

However i think i will just be wearing a boring old trilby
to the melbourne cup, not sure if i can get in with a bilby. I have
discovered there are two styles of trilbies, the trilby being
the softish hat that detectives and many of your favourite
movie characters may have worn at some stage. The two styles
being the chester style, brim smaller and up turned vs
the graduate, the wider brim old chool and often with a band
around the bottom.

high powered dreams?

[In a dream, discussing the merits of an unkown
director]

Lady - " he works well with children in acting classes"
Me- "How is that related to anything, it doesnt mean he
can direct"
Lady's husband - "Its true, its like the situation in
Sinapore early on, when the market was highly regulated,
and interest rates were the primary tool to effect monetary
policy. Only when the advent of bonds came in, was there
realy any flexibility."

At this point i woke up and thought to myself what the hell
is going on here ? Who has people in dreams with characters,
giving off dialogue like that ? Im not sure what that means,
could it be that im infinitely smarter when im asleep, sometimes i
can compose music, write poetry, tho im quite sure most of what i come
up with is most likely rubbish...
