Some of you may have noticed a new addition to the navigation on the left. This is Blingy Bill who’s the mascot for the Gum Leaf Mafia (Thank you Violet, he’s lovely!), a family of Australian and New Zealand (nail polish – among other things) bloggers. The majority of polish blogs, I’ve noticed are based in the US or other countries and I found it really comforting to stumble upon other southern hemisphere-ers.

And while I am talking about things Australian, I would just like to share my love of good Aussie TV and what I’ve been watching lately – John Safran’s Race Relations. Not only is it interesting, but it is absolutely FFFFilarious! If you haven’t already watched it, there are a few videos posted online here.
While I love watching TV in general, I have to say that I particularly enjoy Australian TV (like Packed to the Rafters, Satisfaction, Rush, Underbelly), especially stuff that airs on the ABC like Spicks and Specks; The Gruen Transfer; Enough Rope; Hungry Beast and of course, Triple J. Woo!
And while I am touching upon Australian radio, let’s talk music. Here are a few acts that I am proud have come from our great southern land:
- Empire of the Sun
- Cut Copy
- Art Vs Science (this made number 2 on Triple J’s Hottest 100 this year! Woo!)
Of course there are more but I can’t really think of them off the top of my head.
So how about some good films?
