alias_sqbrRupunzel's Revenge: fun, short, subversive wild west fairytale graphic novel retelling of Rapunzel. A bit well meaningly raceblind but I still really enjoyed it.
There's a tv adaptation of Dirk Gently's Holistic agency on the ABC, first episode is still up on iView for anyone else in Australia. They took out all the aliens and literary references and extreme surrealness and turned it into a fairly generic quirky humourous British mystery show. Once I got over that I enjoyed it well enough.
I went to Morley today, after becoming increasingly dispirited about how sack-like and blah all the plus size clothing is I came across City Chic near Myer, which has not entirely ugly clothes in sizes 14 up. Very expensive of course, but I got a nice skirt on sale and the sales assistant was lovely (turns out she uses a wheelchair too a lot of the time) Rather biased towards apple shapes but they do remember the existence of waists.
I then explored the Coventry Square markets across the road. I didn't try any of the restaurants (though the sushi train at the front looks nicely accessible) and the shops in the middle are mostly crappy knick knacks but at the back are a number of really interesting butchers selling wild rabbit and pig faces, greengrocers with fresh oyster mushrooms and turmeric etc. Not worth going out of your way if you don't live nearby, but I'll certainly be going back.
