new words and other stuff

You know how whenever you come across a new word, it suddenly pops up everywhere?

I had that happen last week. But the word was “shinybum”.
Apparently it’s a name for a public servant. Or presumably anyone with a desk job.
I heard it on Wednesday in relation to a group of public servants that sing political satire called the Shinybum Singers.
Then the very next night, it popped up in the book I was reading – in the form of a “shinybum officer”.

I don’t even know why I’m sharing….but there’s just something about that word that amuses me. Shinybum shinybum shinybum!
hehehehe

Ok, my small mind and I will stop now.

In other news, I finally sent off my passport application today, so soon I will no longer be trapped in this giant lump of red dirt called Australia.
I also got a quote on a trip to NZ. ’twas a little more than what I had counted on….mostly due to bloody airport taxes. But I think I’m gonna do it. I’ve been thinking about it too long and have started to look forward to it, so there’s no going back now!
As long as my brother doesn’t reneg on his accomodation offer that is….heh

From the Unfortunately named product department:
It’s green, and it’s called Radox. Would YOU imerse yourself in it?
It’s just some herbal bath foam stuff I bought the other day. Supposedly it eases aches and clears your mind. Just felt like a bath to me, and my back still hurts.. bah!
