Attack of the alien wasp
Jun. 6th, 2011 07:50 pmSo, there is this. I mean, good luck to her, but on the other hand, the collector who paid $24,000 for it is going to feel a bit foolish sooner or later.
Today in my mailbox: three envelopes. Two of them were from charities, neither of which I have ever donated to before. Both of them attached five cent pieces to the letter. Some sort of 'we'll give you a little bit of money, so you'll give us more' plan. But it never works on me. It just seems silly.
The other letter was from my superannuation fund (retirement planning), which sent me some information about ethical investing, along with what I first thought were three little matchbooks. The first one said 'Heat up your investment' and it had fake matches topped with chilli seeds. The second one said 'Seeding your future' and it's fake matches were topped with tomato seeds, and the third said 'Rocket your savings', which was rocket seeds. So out of my three rubbish letters today, I profited by ten cents and three packets of seeds. Not bad for junk mail.
Last night I had the TV on while I pottered about in another room. In the distance, I could hear a true crime show, which was about ( something horrible. ) Not really my cup of tea, so I switched it off, just as they were interviewing a woman who knew the murderer. She said in a bored voice: 'As soon as I saw it on the news, I said to my husband, "Oh, that'll be Kathy". I wasn't surprised at all.' Not at all? Not even a little bit? I think I would be, even if I did think Kathy was a nutter.
That was a bit grim, wasn't it? Wookiee the Chew will make up for it.
