why wy?

Footy training on saturday was in The Basin, which is a strange name for a town, but fitting because IT RAINS THERE ALL THE TIME. It's way out in whoop whoop (aka ulu), near the dandenong ranges, which is also so far away that it has its own weather system (10 degrees colder). Granted, it's very beautiful, green hills with the tops in cloud, colours of autumn, flocks of white parrots or cockatoos, but the view is best appreciated from a heated tour bus.

I was half-watching a romanticised miniseries on Napoleon (isabella rossellini as josephine, 'nuff said) when my housemate came home and remarked on how great it would be to live in that day and age. Chiefly, her reasons were the men back then were gentlemen and chivalry was upheld.

Five reasons why I would not want to live in the 18th century
1- People didn't bathe. (My housemate didn't believe me.)
2- Sanitation was non-existent. Okay, I'm guessing here, but feel free to correct me.
3- The Internet.
4- I'm not sure if it was chivalry or chauvinism that was upheld.
5- Corsets.
