In Sweden, you look around and everything is clean, everyone is tall, and no one is fat. Everyone votes. They know how to do everything well, yet inoffensively. So why don't all the Swedes just sit up there in Sweden and laugh knowingly at the rest of us? How is it that there are even any Swedes left in Sweden when there are so many Swedes everywhere else? Call them missionaries of betterment, if you will, imparting their swedishisms far and wide, and facilitating the Swedish meatball movement for the greater good.

Must be killer to be an illustrator because everyone would always be inviting you to be in a group show. "Hey I'm putting on a group show, yo. Can you send me, like a drawing, it will be number 39."
WHY CANNOT THE ILLUSTRATORS HAVE THEIR OWN SHOWS? It's not like a zoo where the wombats are a bit boring, sitting in a hollow log all day, so they throw in some red-bum monkeys next door and a jazz orchestra near the kiosk.
There's been talk, oh yes there has. And now it's open. The gallery above Glitzern in Crossley Street. It's actually in the apartment that once belonged to anal-retentive Australian landscape artist and teacher of Frederick McCubbin, Eugene von Guerard. It is a bit spooky and fadedly opulent, which is the perfect setting for an exhibition by Kathryn Baulch, of Melbourne's cult jewellery label House of Baulch.
'Welcome to Hell.' Quick sketch of a cinematic cliché: Hard-as-nails Drill Sergeant welcomes green-as-grass bunch of recruits to bombed-out battlefield. He knows, and so do we, that half of them will be dead by the end of the movie and that the other half will have learnt some hard-earned lessons, emerged as heroes, etc and-so-forth.
