• So why bother with private hospitals?

  Monday, May 12th, 2008

  I had to take my mother into Waverly Private on Saturday morning for a minor procedure, she’d had to fast since Friday morning, and had not been allowed to take anything any food or fluids on Saturday till after the procedure (which itself was meant to take all of 15 minutes) had been completed.
  They told [...]

• 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 [...]

• 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 [...]

• Dear anonymous

  Tuesday, March 4th, 2008

  To the anonymous douchebag who just sent me an email courtesy of the contact form on this blog telling me that I’m an idiot for stating that humans are outside natural order, grow a pair of cojones and don’t hide behind the cloak of anonymity.
  As for why I think humans are outside natural order - [...]

• Oh my god, trauma!

  Friday, February 29th, 2008

  So, had plans for my weekend all laid out and have had to cancel the lot of them.
  Why?
  Because I just checked my lip (which, admittedly, has been feeling Not Quite Right all day), and I was greeted by the sight of a developing cold sore.
  *insert a 5 minute long endless stream of expletives*
  Not happy, Jan. [...]

• Lazy-ass douchebaggery

  Thursday, February 28th, 2008

  Most of you (or all of you) know that I run a food blog, which is my main blog, this just being a venting hole. While running it gives me lots of joy, there are some times that I just want to shut the whole thing down and go running for the hills.
  One of the [...]

• SUCH a girl!

  Friday, February 22nd, 2008

  Driving to the shops to do some grocery shopping, I’m coasting down a parking aisle and
  “OH MY FUCKING GOD IT’S A HUNTSMAN AND IT’S CRAWLING DOWN MY MOTHERFUCKIN’ WINDSHIELD! AAAAAAAAAAAAARGH!!!!!!”
  Cue slamming on breaks (thankfully it wasn’t much of a deal as I was the only car in the aisle and traveling at about 10 kph), [...]

• A public letter to a wanker

  Friday, February 22nd, 2008

  Oh my GOD! People are freakin’ hilarious! But I suppose that by signing up to OkCupid, I was exposing myself to a variety of crazies! What I think is hilarious is that people take it all so fucking seriously! Puh-lease! So what if I don’t reply to your message or chat? Can’t you take a [...]

• Oh for FUCK’S SAKE

  Thursday, February 21st, 2008

  You’re not an angsty teenager, you’re an adult, so get over it and grow the FUCK up already. Honestly, what is with oversensitive whingers who wallow in negativity and expect complete strangers to give a rat’s ass?
  In case it isn’t obvious, I am VERY family-centric, the rest of the world comes after my immediate biological [...]
