You know something's wrong when even Oprah rejects you

It seems that every bloody person out there is blogging or talking or writing about Oprah coming to Oz. Also like a million other people out there I signed up to Oprah's website, set up an account and eventually registered for tickets to her two shows at the Opera House in December.

I musn't have been wearing my lucky shoes that day because what do you know, I get two rejection letters from Oprah on the same day. I'm feeling pretty down, you know you don't get rejected by Oprah every day. Then BAM! Along comes a third email re-confirming my rejection. Just in case I thought an email that said I was rejected meant I really had won two tickets.

Boo Oprah, I still love ya but why oh why couldn't you have just given me one measly ticket.

Do you need a shoe shiner for the day? Would be more than willing to take this role. Unpaid, of course.
