Desert surreal.
I used to work in Central Australia. The Aboriginal people of the area are called Anangu and still live a traditional life. One of the aunties was at my house at lunchtime and we were watching SBS (awesome Oz tv channel with international movies, no soaps or shit, best docos).

So an everyday salad sandwich lunch turned into watching a Korean horror movie - strange at the best of times - with me reading the English subtitles and then having to translate, rather poorly, into Pitjantjatjara. This was coupled with my own weird acting of some of the scenes to try and explain within an Anangyu framework what the hell was going on.

Then we went back to work.

Admit it.
You're just showing off about your ability to speak a language the mere name of which I can't even pronounce.

Hardly! Hence the awkward acting in my living room.
But thanks anyway.

I was also out collecting firewood with a few of the kids and one of them
made me stop the car, pick up a thorny devil lizard (rows of rose thorn-like spikes along them and move slow like turtles) and then comb her hair out with it, "cos they make the best brushes". Wee wee was made from laughing so hard.

I'm insanely jealous you got to see one.
One day, one day...
