Guest starring...

* "An Evening With Johnners" (1994) written and orated by Brian Johnstone (RIP). Charming anecdotes about cricket, broadcasting and cricket broadcasting, all with groan-worthy punchlines. Ta, DL.

* The NRL and AFL finals series. It's just a pity greedy Nine and Ten squeeze in so many ad breaks.

* New Smith's BBQ Ribs thin-sliced potato chips. Too sweet for me and only vaguely reminiscent of rib sauce.

* "Kujibiki Unbalance #1". One of the cool things about "Watchmen" was the inserts of "Tales Of The Black Freighter", the pirate comic from that world. "K/U" was originally a fictional series followed by the characters from my fave manga, "Genshiken". Now it exists and it's ace.

* Four preview episodes of US college drama "Greek" (as in Greek-lettered fraternities/sororities), coming soon to FOX8. A guilty pleasure.

* Internet videogame radio show "One Life Left". Ann, Simon and Ste are back for another season - yay!

* The September/October issue of "Bluff" poker mag. Ta, SC.

* "Beer And Loathing In The Square Mile" (2008) by "Cityboy". Pseudonymous expose of the outrageous excesses and dealings in London's financial sector.

* My Newcastle United Jets country membership kit. Not sure I'll be wearing that headband...

* "The Lost Buddhas" exhibition at the Art Gallery Of NSW. An assortment of 35 beatific figures that were carved and decorated around the 6th century, wrapped and buried along with more than 350 others in a pit in the 12th (no-one knows why) and accidentally uncovered in 1996.

* New Double Dipped Cherry Ripe (with 70% cocoa). The best choccy bar just got betterer.
