burning down the house

The sister with whom I'm presently sharing a room is home for the weekend. I tried to get to sleep early, she stayed up to do some washing and bits and pieces.

She turned off my desktop fluorescent lamp because she had her own halogen lamp on her bed, but covered said halogen lamp with the edge of a pillowcase to dim the light so I could still sleep.

( how can we sleep while our beds are burning? )

for a really good laugh

"I like pussies."
~ My uncle at lunch today. ~

I managed not to spit my drink. That would have been bad. Because he does like cats. And really wouldn't get the colloquialism. So I didn't explain.

And, if that's not enough and you're still looking for entertainment value...

Triple M (an Australian radio network) has a morning segment for the drive to work called 'The Cage' - and they recently put out a new TV ad.

Work-safe, but you are advised not to eat or drink while watching it.

And I think it might reference the style of a famous Australian advert, but I can't for the life of me remember the advert. At any rate, you don't need to see the advert to think this one is funny.
