"Ermahgerd I'm in Aida!"
Lately I've taken to looking at the faces of each individual in large group photos. It has proved rewarding/hilarious. In the Opera Australia printed program is the following group shot from Aida where everyone looks serious...
Ermahgerd I'm in Aida!

More Vintage LOLrus
Original image source: The Boy's Own Paper, Saturday, July 29, 1899, No. 1072. - Vol XXI, page 1
According to the text this is an illustration of a 'bladder-nose'. That's 'Mr. Bladder-nose to you, and not to be confused with the elephant seal, who is quite another bucket of fish.

Happy Bug sayz "Hai!" ;)
Listening to: It's My Life, by Talk Talk, from The Collection.
Unidentified* cute bug on my bedroom window this afternoon. He hung around long enough for one photograph.
Enhance!
"Oh hai and welcum to de naiborhud."
*I tried to but there doesn't seem to be an easily accessed online resource for local bug identification. There is for spiders and butterflies. He was about 8mm long.

Abe has a peanut!
Listening to: She's in Parties by Bauhaus
Created from a photo taken at work. The peanut is an eraser we sell. A customer seemed to have taken a bite out of it. Abe the elephant is from the game we sell called Animal Scramble, his beard is a fake moustache from a pack a customer helped themselves to and his hat is Photoshopped because I have better things to do with my time than making tiny top hats for elephants ... things like creating silly LOLs and blogging for instance.

Koala collecting donations
No not the Wilderness Society!
First some cute and funny - I call her a koLOLa - to help the medicine go down. Here's a koala literally chillin' out :)
This juvenile koala got separated from her mum in the recent heat wave, prior to the Victorian Bushfire Disaster. She was lucky to wander onto a verandah where help was at hand and is now being looked after by wildlife carers.
So many animals, people and homes have been devastated by these terrible bush fires. They still aren't under total control. It all happened so quickly and some have been left with absolutely nothing.
Public Service Announcement
There's only one Victorian Bush Relief Fund. The Federal and State government has set it up in conjunction with the Red Cross. You can donate online or in person at any of the major banks. It's really easy - they have pre-filled the forms - and only takes a few minutes of your time. You can also pop into some shops like Australian Geographic to make a little donation if coinage is what you can spare.
The blood banks are booked up until Easter so hold off for now if you're considering donating. A friend of mine who works at the Southbank Blood Bank, tells me blood has a limited shelf life but there's a range of ways they use it.
They only need you to make a donation twice a year to make a difference in the long term.
I haven't donated yet but I have registered to do so for the first time in my life. I'll see how I go from there!
