Mogwai... what is she?  #

Mogwai! Cure, adorable, yappy!

Ok, but what is she?

She's Jack Russell. But they're bigger, a little more muscular and their ears flop.

While looking at calendars of dogs today we noticed the Rat Terrier and my eyes lit up. I'd put money on Mogwai being at least part Rat Terrier. The second photo on the Wikipedia article rings many bells.

So maybe she is a rat rooter after all...

But still. Even the Rat Terrier seems too big. Perhaps she is simply a Foxy/Jack Russell cross. I know it doesn't matter, but it would be nice to know.


Art deco Melbourne  #

I wandered around Melbourne yesterday arvo getting sunburnt and looking at our lovely buildings.

Walked to the MCG via Treasury Gardens (with it's sad empty ponds) and Jolimont station.

I ended up at the newly renovated Corner Hotel roof-top beer garden. It's just like it always was only now it has fairy lights... and an air-conditioned enclosed bar and decent toilet, and a new set of stairs. And it's open all the time. Lots of wankers all dressed up with presumably somewhere to go, so why were they there?

I had a nice time though. Talking band stuff.

Mountain Goat on tap. Massive burger. Nice cocktail "Moscow Mule" (vodka, lime, ginger beer). They were playing Ween's "Shinola Vol 1" on the stereo.
