short notes on previous themes

speaking of things aussie, my previous post mentioned the lack of ethnic mixing in oz, which reminded me that i meant (late last year) to big up michael kim for being the 1st asian sportscaster i've seen on tv. i won't pretend to know anything else about him, or where and when i saw him- all i know is that i jotted a note to self about it @ the time.
and the other thing that post (unforgiveably) forgot to say, was that the aussie ballerina-cum-stripper really won my respect and admiration when she jumped up onto the pole, wrapped her legs around it and released her upper body into a back-bend so that she was basically hanging upside down, then released one leg, and while holding herself up there with a thigh, proceeded to remove her clothing, then slowly twirl her way down the pole to a graceful dismount on ground level- like i said, her ballet training showed.*

and a nod to my recently-ended piratical theme...

and a final note before i wrap this mercifully short post (i'ma try not to be so long-winded now that i feel caught up): if anybody reading has a copy of the iliad i could borrow, i'd be much obliged- i have homer's odyssey and derek walcott's odyssey, so i'd love to read the iliad, homer's odyssey, then walcott's, in that order...
walk good.

ps: i notice that blogger is once again fucking with my text. i have tried to fix this "xxl" problem, to no avail. blogger, i appreciate thy freeness, but nonetheless curse thy name!
pps: as soon as i published the above "ps", the text-enlargening was miraculously cured, in spite of the failure of my attempts to do just that, prior to adding the damn "ps"!
