I recently discovered Sleeveface. With loads of LP record sleeves still around, one of Sleeveface’s creators, John Rostron, decided it would be fun to collate photos of people creating illusions by obscuring or augmenting parts of their bodies with record sleeves. The Sleeveface thing has since taken off. There is a website and a growing collection of flickr photos tagged sleeveface. Three of my favourites are below:

We went to see ‘Wil of God’ at the Brisbane Powerhouse last Thursday night.
Wil Anderson, or Ando the Comedy Commando as he calls himself, was in true form. Whilst most of the show was lite, it finished on a more meaningful tone.
I love live comedy. It reminds me that life can be so serious sometimes when it is actually not.
Kitty presented me with a lovely present when we met after work today. It was a perfect tin of five sardines, only each fish is made of French chocolate. What a lovely gift.
I love the attention to detail: how the tin is rolled on top, the fact that each fish actually looks like a sardine when you unwrap the foil. I have eaten two so far. I think I will save the rest to look at for a while.
Kitty celebrated her birthday today (29th July). Happy Birthday!
We had a lovely dinner on the balcony (prawn omlette) with ‘jasmine & chrysanthemum’ tea, both tasty and warming.
We then went and saw the Simpsons Movie on the IMAX screen at South Bank. I made my wife a thermos of T2 English Breakfast to drink at the movies with some White Maltesers received as a present all the way from Edinburgh.
If you haven’t seen the Simpsons Movie yet, go and see it. It is one funny movie. I think we will ‘re-watch’ within the next week or so. It is too funny not to.
a while ago i noticed this shipping container in the alley behind rydges hotel at south bank. it wasn’t the container itself that stood out, but rather the words painted on it.
