Perhaps this is Pandora...

No, this isn't a Pandora's Briefcase entry, but I just had to post this bit of artwork. It was done by one of our four-year-olds on a megasketcher, and I just discovered it on the lounge-room floor.  I love how Laura sees and portrays the world, especially people!

(I have increased the contrast, as megasketchers are quite grey in colour, the light was poor, and I didn't use the flash on my phone due to glare) 

Pandora's Briefcase: Who ya gonna call?

I thought I'd try to start off strongly with the first item from Pandora's Briefcase.

This is a copy of the limited Ghostly White edition of Ray Parker Jnr's Ghostbusters theme song.  It was released in 1984 by Arista, and dwells within Pandora's Briefcase not because of its cool colour, or its more general outright coolness.  Its presence in Pandora's Briefcase is due to the fact that it is a fine example of a 12" 45rpm vinyl single.

Yes, a fine example indeed. Don't you think?

Pandora's Briefcase

A chance mention of one of my more obscure hobbies months ago to Lee at  quityourdayjob.com.au has come back to haunt me.  He recently mentioned the hobby again - I must admit to being very impressed he remembered - and this has prompted me to consider blogging about it.  It might prompt me to actually furnish this somewhat spartan blog with a few more regular entries!  We'll see.  


For those who know me it will only reinforce the opinion that I'm a bit of a nut-case. That's life. You may actually know already what is contained within... this briefcase:

I'm thinking that each week I'll open up the ol' briefcase, and select an item from within to write a short piece about.  It will no doubt be dull and boring... but that's just how I'm rolling at the mo!


So what do you think? What lurks within?




Creepy, crawly, slimy things, that stick on to your skin... Horrid beasts with tentacles, that want to pull you in... Squirmy worms, slugs and snails, that lie there in a goo... They'll wait down there forever, 'till they get their hands on you... Stay away from that trapdoor, 'Cos there's something down there...
