While some argue Katy Perry is actually lame version of Jill Sobule, if you ask Lily Allen she’ll tell you Katy is a fabricated American version of her, although Katy would prefer to be known as a ’skinny’ Lily Allen. As you can probably imagine, this royally pissed off Ms Allen, inspiring an anti-Katy Perry tirade, where Lily claims Katy Perry was ‘found’ because the US market needed someone ‘edgy’ like Lily. And it’s probably true. 
. The funny thing is though, Katy semi-apologised for the ’skinny’ comment, but said it was a joke because ‘comedians’ shouldn’t be taken seriously all of the time. Does this mean Katy Perry considers herself a comedian? Uhh, what?
I have to admit though, both Katy Perry and Lily Allen grace my winamp playlist (I completely prefer Lily, though). Lily’s Alright, Still album is cute, funny, and all around good times, and she DOES write her own songs. I really wish she’d write some more though, instead of caring so much what everyone else thinks of her and wasting so much energy ranting at people!

I assume that the purpose of Britney’s hour-long documentary, Britney: For the Record was to;
- promote Britney’s new “Circus” album
- let us know Britters’ impending mental breakdown had been ’successfully’ circumvented, and;
- perhaps evoke a sense of empathy among Britney fans and haters alike.
While I remain completely ambivalent about her new album, I have to admit, the documentary warmed my cold, cold heart just a little. Speaking with a vagueness I’ve come to expect of Tom Cruise’s affinity for Scientology, Britney told of ‘trusting the wrong people’, ‘bad things’, ‘being taken advantage of’ and feeling like a prisoner in her own home, all the while painting a picture of a little-girl-lost, thriving on fame and attention, while simultaneously yearning to escape from it.
I felt sorry for her when a convoy of at least 50 paparazzi followed her and her entourage. I asked myself, If it’s really that bad, why doesn’t she stay out of the limelight? - but I think that’s a question not even Britney knows the answer to. 
At times I found the documentary somewhat creepy - especially in regards to Daddy Spears. I found it a little strange finally putting a face and voice to one of the parental figures who considered it perfectly acceptable to allow their 16 year old daughter to writhe around in a sexy-schoolgirl outfit for the ‘Baby, One More Time’ video. Likewise, Jamie Spears lovingly cooking cheese grits for his ‘baby’ Britney, while in another scene, proclaiming “Baby, those are hooker shoes!” in regards to Britney’s outfit for the “‘Womaniser’ video.
At the start of the documentary, the interviewer asked Britney if she knows her life is weird. Perhaps in the saddest part of all, Britney doesn’t consider her life weird, because it is all she has ever known.

For those who think that in Australia we co-exist with kangaroos hopping down our streets; it’s not true. But apparantly, some of us live with snakes.
A woman in the Northern Territory, recently ‘found’ 14 snakes slithering around in her bedroom. She found the first ones before going to bed, and called the police to come and deal with them. Amazingly, shemanaged to get to sleep that night only to awake to five more snakes in her bedroom. Yuck!
Snake experts say the mother snake probably laid eggs in the air conditioning, and there could be as many as 30 snakes still waiting to surface. Time to sell your house, I think!
About the only thing I can think of that would be worse than snakes slithering out from my walls, would be spiders! Just one spider is enough to send me into throws of hysteria… I can’t imagine what 14 of them, in my bedroom no less, would do to me.

I’ll admit it, I watch my fair-share of TV. Sometimes there’s nothing better than sitting in front of the screen for an hour or so watching the latest offering of reality tv, csi-inspired crime show, or X-files-for-teenagers (yes, I’m talking about Supernatural). But no other TV show provides me with the edge-of-my-seat thrill of Dexter. I love this show!
I stumbled on the first series of Dexter for sale in JB-Hifi last year, and after the first three episodes I was hooked. Living in Australia means I must turn to my trusty bit-torrent client to get my latest Dexter fix, and I find myself eagerly awaiting Monday afternoon in Australia, when the previous night’s US episode of Dexter will finally be available to download. 
Maybe it’s the former psychology student in me that explains my love of this show, but really, what’s not to like? Sure, the audience is siding with the ‘bad guy’, but that’s part of the charm; you’ve got to admire a storyline that blurs the lines between good and evil, protagonist and villain, like Dexter does. Where else on TV these days can you find yourself taking the side of a somewhat-reformed, animal-torturing sociopath?
As for the current series; I cannot wait to see how Dexter deals with Miguel and how ‘the skinner’ fits into the whole Prado family story. Bring on Sunday night in the US!

Well, it’s only been three and a half years since The Great Server Crash of ‘05, but SC is finally BACK IN ACTION. I’m basically just going to use this blog to ramble about everything and anything I feel like.
If you feel like talking, head over to the forums!!
