• A love of a great mind and a great man

  Monday, March 31st, 2008

  I have a deep, deep love for Hunter S. Thompson.
  Wordsmith doesn’t even cover it. A ball of introspective humour mixed with a more than healthy dash of paranioa, obsession, fatalistic depression and a burning anger regarding the state of the human race - nobody else wrote like this. Nobody else could write like this.
  Whenever I [...]

• Too cool for school

  Wednesday, March 26th, 2008

  Sunglasses, to me, serve more than just the practical purpose of preventing me from being blinded by sunlight (especially whilst driving, hence the tinted yellow as opposed to black). They also act as a defence mechanism, providing me with a barrier between me and the world, the physical helps me step outside the throng and [...]

• Movies of note

  Wednesday, March 26th, 2008

  Not feeling particularly eloquent today so shall keep it short - here’s a list of movies that I can’t recommend highly enough:

  The Darjeerling Limited (Wes Anderson, creator of The Royal Tenenbaums, The Life Aquatic) - excellent and very Wes Anderson, less quirky than other films and felt like a more mainstream effort though still very [...]

• Bring on the rain

  Tuesday, March 25th, 2008

  It was a bit of a lost day, really. The odd weather and tiredness (remnants of a hangover from Saturday night) had me in a funny mood, a bit short and snippy with the rest of the world. Cleaning the house and helping with dinner preparations had resulted in overexertion of my sore shoulder, and [...]

• Not drunk

  Sunday, March 23rd, 2008

  I bought this red lip gloss a few years back, but I’m STILL not sure whether it suits me…oh well.

• Drunk shenanigans

  Sunday, March 23rd, 2008

  Went out for a night on the town with the lasses last night - hurrah! I’m far, FAR too hungover to type much, but thought I’d share the three memorable photos from the evening (excuse the craptastic quality but they were taken with my phone)
  I love the Kitten Club so much it’s not funny, even [...]

• Ouch

  Thursday, March 20th, 2008

  I have done so much cooking and cleaning of the house over the past three weeks that my right shoulder has become ridiculously stiff and heavy and doing as little as holding a glass of water now causes immense pain.
  Overkill? Perhaps, but the fact is that my family have come to rely on me so [...]

• ?!$&#@!!

  Wednesday, March 19th, 2008

  I am *THIS* close to throwing my camera into the pool and giving up taking photos for the rest of my life! WHY can’t I take a decent photo of these damned pumpkin scones?!

• Smurf fellation (aka - there is too much of a good thing)

  Monday, March 17th, 2008

  I don’t handle humidity well. Actually, scratch that - I don’t handle humidity at all. So when I’ve had a 4th night in a row of about three hours sleep and it’s almost 40 degrees C the next day, let’s just say that this little chipmunk is not a happy rodent. Since I was utterly [...]

• Nonsense from a wine-addled brain

  Monday, March 17th, 2008

  Hallo there…do you want a pineapple? Sorry, I don’t actually have one, but I thought I’d be polite and offer one anyway, I was just hoping you’d say no.
  Just had my second shower for the day as alas the first one seemed to have worn off, so here I sit, dripping all over the floorboards [...]
