• Over a week…

  Wednesday, November 29th, 2006

  It’s been over a week since I’ve had a cigarette.
  I faltered today. After a stressful weekend and only 3 hours sleep, by 3pm I was absolutely dying, and so dashed out of the office to have a cigarette.
  Halfway through, I lost interest and butted it and trashed it. It just didn’t have the same effect [...]

  It is my observation that when leaving a voting booth with an armload of stuffed toys, people will look at you veeeery strangely.

  Monday, November 20th, 2006

  What do you do if you wake up one morning with the world’s scratchiest throat, phlegm issues and generally feeling spaced out?
  1. So long as your not suffering bodily aches (which I’m led to believe are the precursor to a flu), drag yourself to the gym for a light cardio workout or out for a [...]

• My Beauty Myth

  Monday, November 20th, 2006

  No, not Naomi Wolf’s book (which I’m yet to read, shameful as that admission is), but my own ponderings on the subject. What’s brought this on? My recent trip to a day spa with a girlfriend. I went and had a pedicure and a full bikini wax, whilst she had a pedicure and a moisturising [...]
