VIDEO:AUX

There used to be an old TV series in the 80's called "Prisoner". I never realized how ahead it was for it's time. It was a drama about female prisoners at Wentworth Detention Centre, and dealt with issues like rape, homosexuality and murder. Quite risque for a country that was churning out eye bursting stuff like "The Young Doctors"... 8 years, it lasted. Didn't even realize. Right now as I apply my sockage to my feetage, I am rocking out to the theme song of "Prisoner", as covered by The Living End. Go here and download the song, ya mongcats!

On the inside

He used to give me roses
I wish he could again
But that was on the outside
And things were different then

We build our world together
With a love so clear and strong
But that was on the outside
Where did I go wrong?

On the inside the sun still shines
And the rain falls down
But the sun and rain are prisoners too
When morning comes around

Last night I dreamed we were together
Sharing all the love we've known
Till I had to face the nightmare
Of waking up alone

On the inside the sun still shines
And the rain falls down
But the sun and rain are prisoners too
When morning comes around

On the inside the roses grow
They don't mind the stony ground
But the roses here are prisoners too
When morning comes around

He used to give me roses
I wish he could again
But that was on the outside
And things were different then


My valentines day was spent with a young girl that kept saying "Uncle Thao! Why are you wearing glasses?". Everytime I answered "Cause Uncle Thao can't see far", I was met with a wall of "Why?". Repeat ad nauseum

Oh and back to back viewing of a Spiderman cartoon DVD.

My friend Georgina, who's from Melbourne, is always telling me about some Australian show called "Monkey" in which some crime fighting monkey rides on a pink cloud or something.
I have no idea where i was going with that.

Monkey magic!? It's quite possibly the epicentre of oldschool cheesy tv shows. It is a legend in it's world. With such lines as:

"And the nature of monkey was...IRREPRESSIBLE!"
