• That is it!!

  Monday, April 28th, 2008

  After being bombarded with ads about how Kyle and Jackie-O are the new faces of the ‘new’ Big Brother (to my international readers, Kyle and Jackie-O are two absolutely mediocre radio hosts on some radio show here. No idea what), I have reached the end of my tether.
  I’ve always sniffed at ‘reality’ television, but I’ve [...]

• For fuck’s sake, DON’T TOUCH ME!

  Monday, April 28th, 2008

  On Saturday, whilst at the Springvale markets doing the weekly fruit and veg shop with mother, I came close to walloping the second person (which would’ve been the second male) in my adult life.
  I should probably start from the beginning in order to explain the circumstances. If you’ve ever been to a market dominated by [...]

• “Sir, I will not take your name”

  Thursday, April 17th, 2008

  These days, I’m far more interested in reading personal blogs than food blogs, and one of the ones that I follow is written by Christine from Web-Goddess. Today she alerted me to the fact that SMH had another article about the rather controversial topic of surnames and matrimony, in a similar vein as the article [...]

• Nonsense

  Friday, April 11th, 2008

  After the job at Fairfax fell through, I’ve endured two months of applications, nervous waiting, disappointment at a silent phone and rejection letters…
  And I’m about to leave for my second interview with one company, and have had another 3 lined up for next week in the space of 24 hours.
  What gives? But they say that [...]

• My kid brother’s deadly feet

  Monday, April 7th, 2008

  My brother has always had a thing for fighting. When we were all little, this manifested as him chasing me and my sister around with sticks and hitting us with them, which prompted my parents to start him training in Taekwondo (before starting kindergarten!) and get him a set of real, albeit padded, nunchaku as [...]

• Another open letter to the men of my species:

  Sunday, April 6th, 2008

  Dear men,
  (Please insert a weary sigh here.)
  Before accusing a woman of being ’stuck up’ and ‘arrogant’, let me tell me a few reasons why she may not have laughed at your ‘line’ or joke:
  1. You’re not as witty/clever as you think you are
  2. You’re not very funny, or funny at all
  3. You tried to act [...]

• Just f*cking f*ck me, already

  Tuesday, April 1st, 2008

  I had this link sent to me today which amused to me to no end - one, because I agree wholeheartedly with everything the writer has written, and two, because it was passed onto me because it made the sender “think of me” - heh!
  I accept or deny nothing!
  Onto the article (warning, extremely adult content, [...]
