Thursday Thirteen #3

Thirteen Things about Clarence 13 Things I’ve learned (or realized) this Week: 1. Jurlique Face Wash Crème is the colour and consistency of vomit – I just wish vomit smelled like lavender. 2. I am a weakling! – I was at the gym. The guy next to me was pumping about 50, and I was only on 5… 3. I have more cellulite than some senior citizens, or, don’t stand at the mirror that faces the benches when in the gym change-room. 4. North Adelaide may be turning into a second Dramadale. – There was a drive-by bottle throwing. It doesn’t sound quite as violent as a shooting, I know, but when a glass bottle is thrown at somebody and very nearly lodges in their face it definitely seems quite violent, and that kind of agro I’m only used to seeing downtown Armadale. 5. I still enjoy drawing. – We went to the Children’s House Mural Planning Session (mouthful) and I drew up heaps of ideas. It was very satisfying. I wonder if anybody will like my ideas… 6. I tend to err on the side of caution – when it comes to nudity and art, and especially involving children. I don’t know what makes something art and not child pornography, so best to play it safe, and just say, put the pictures away. 7. My cousin’s twins were born – a boy and a girl, and they are apparently absolutely gorgeous. Two babies in one go – outstanding! 8. Patrick Swayze’s wife is quite beautiful – not that it’s of any importance. 9. What I like about the novel ‘The God of Small Things’ – it starts out large and broad, then by the end of the novel it has focused in on the one moment. It’s quite a powerful and moving finish to a story. 10. Bill Bailey’s first name is not actually Bill, but Mark – and I don’t know why, but for some reason I found it quite disappointing. 11. I am missing out on more great television – I miss watching documentaries and am tempted to rent or buy a new TV(not that we have any money). 12. My diet has gone downhill in the past three years – or more like, where did I pick up this bad diet from? I never used to have sweet biscuits and chocolates in the house. You just can’t eat that kind of crap every day. I’m going back to eating healthy, just after this one last chocolate… 13. Verisimilitude means the appearance or semblance of truth; likelihood; probability – a new word I learned this week. Now I just need a situation in which I can use it!
