Ryan puts a smile on the dial of oldies who remember posties delivering twice daily and once on Saturday
Still smiling at this from Ryan O’Connell in Seven Things A Twentysomething Can’t Do……
“1. Mail something
Whenever I have to mail something, I have a mini panic attack. First, I have to get stamps, which seems super daunting because I have no idea where they’re sold. Can I get one at my vegan co-op later or maybe the guy I’m sleeping with from Ok Cupid has some at his apartment. IDK! Then there is the terrifying dilemma of acquiring an envelope. Once you manage to get these two things, you have to somehow put them together and handwrite things. Lastly, you have to search for something called a mailbox. I’ve heard about mailboxes in movies but I’ve yet to see one in real life. Honestly, flying Virgin to give someone something seems more feasible these days. Like I’ve heard of the band The Postal Service but I didn’t know that it was based on a real thing, okay?”

Archibald Prize finalists on display in Murwillumbah
Tweed River Art Gallery, located in Murwillumbah, is currently hosting an exhibition of the 2011 Archibald Prize finalists.
The quality of the exhibition speaks for itself ... it's AAAA.
Of course, Brett Quilty's winning portrait of Margaret Olley is the stand out. It's fantastic. When viewed close up from a metre or so the Average Joe will says, "What's this? It's nothing."
However, when viewed from a bit of distance it's incredible. As one moves from left to right, or vice-versa, or moves back and forth from Quilty's work the piece demonstrates its many dimensions.
This bloke's no art specialist, but he knows what he likes and what he doesn't. Quilty deservedly won ... daylight came second.My other best ones include:
Jenn Sage's My Jack |
Christopher McVinish's Robin Nevin |
Amanda Darburg's "DA" .. smh crossword devotees know this subject well! |
Angus McDonald's Dr Ann Lewisa AO | Credits: Images from Art Gallery NSW |
