01. Hooray for the arrival of The Letters!

02. Come, let us go to Italy and see many a jazz band perform! A smokey voice, the seductive bass, the lifts and descending eases of the piano that let you soar, allowing you to fly close to the ground but never letting you land quite yet; and the soft, yet determined caress of the snare and high-hat that makes you aware that you are not dreaming. And undoubtedly many opportunities for me to learn how to enjoy hot coffee.

03. EMBRACE.

04. Scrumptious jam tartlets and jasmine tea. Posh sustenance. I'll say "aye" to that!

05. Some gems from last night's episode of Good News Week:
President Obama will face many challenges - two wars and an economic crisis. But the first order of business: reconnect the button that Bush has been pushing for the past eight years thinking he'll get a banana.

When Rudd mentioned the G20, Bush paused for a minute, and said "You've sunk my battleship".

Paul McDermott: What's it really like being a woman in federal politics.
Julie Bishop: Well, I've never been a man in federal politics before, so it's kind of hard to compare, really.

(Paul McDermott to Julie Bishop) We'll go see Becks, the both of us. Two foxy ladies out on the town. Excuse me David, I've just got to go shave again.

Candace Bushnell: I don't want to disappoint you.
Paul McDermott: You haven't ever disappointed me. I've only met you today and you've never disappointed me previous to me not meeting you.

A Japanese man has started a petition to legalise marriage between humans and cartoon characters. Finally. Where do you draw the line? Oh, there.

Perth will host the awesome International Arts Festival For Bright Youn Things. Because it sounds better than the Festival of Pushy Parents Reliving Their Faded Dreams Through Precocious Brats.

At a comedy gala in London, to celebrate the 60th birthday of Prince Charles, Diana will leap up, reveal she's not dead, Charles has been Punked.

09. Oh how I miss you, Oscar. Come back!

10. It was strange seeing her getting out of the car. Loose curls hung where sadly limp, over-straightened hair once was, a white floaty dress cinched at the waist with a woven leather belt replacing singlets printed with 'Playboy' and feet adorned with gladiator sandals instead of Havaiana thongs that were once yellow but now a questionable mustard. Very strange.
