State of Origin It’s no secret that I’ve wanted to move to Sydney for a long time. Moving to Brisbane when I was four years old and had no choice in the matter has long been the thorn in my side. Now that I’m here, it’s tempting to put on the rose-coloured glasses for Queensland. … Continue reading
So, you know how when you are trying to get pregnant, all you see around you are pregnant women and babies? Never fear, this is not my declaration that I’m trying to get pregnant. And, for the most part, I am always surrounded by babies, usually on public transport or planes. I notice these things … Continue reading
Right now, I’m mid-move. I survived the packing phase, which wasn’t great, let me be honest. I’m unemployed, living in my boyfriend’s house and Scrooging on life. I wasn’t always this full of bile-flavoured malaise. When my employment contract was finally ending after 4 long years, I could not have been more excited to have … Continue reading
Kevin Rudd is constantly hit up with “When are you going to become Prime Minister again?” It happened yet again this morning on Sunrise, amid the almost fever pitch hysteria in the media that Gillard is getting dumped. Gee, that must be annoying. A constant reminder of failing the first time round. A consistent underlying … Continue reading
A while back, I wrote a post about Beer Houses, the fast-spreading virus of the watering hole world. A love-hate relationship was contained within that post. Hate the hipsterness, hate the pretentiousness, love the decor (metal and timber) and most importantly, I developed a love of the beer. And the beer developed a love for … Continue reading
My friend Anastacia Beaverhausen* always said exercise was dangerous. And now I know she’s right. In an effort to detox** during the week and stop socially drinking so much, I agreed to the stupidest thing I’ve ever done. Stupider than every man I’ve ever dated. Stupider than the time I ate the custard tarts. … Continue reading
So, lately I’ve been getting excited. I put it down to the cooling weather, which means I’ve awoken from the sleep-inducing humidicrib that is Brisbane in summer, and realised I actually have energy after all – even better, enthusiasm. For all kinds of things! As a result, I keep saying BAM! when I’m pleased. I … Continue reading
It’s no word of a lie. I’m sarcastic about a lot of things, but when the budget was handed down, I had the joy of watching vitriol about Julia Gillard scroll all the way down my Facebook news feed from a few people expressing their opinion. Politics aside (hey, I’m single with no dependents paying … Continue reading
So, a while ago I had a major whinge about the lack of revenge in the tv show Revenge. I’m not a violent person, but I was raised on Arnold Schwarzenegger movies, what can I say. So, thank you, Timothy Olyphant, for stepping into the breach (um… three years ago). I’d heard of Justified some … Continue reading
So, April was a super busy month. I was lucky to enjoy a visit from my mum, who I only see a couple of times a year. A stay with her usually inspires a few cracker conversations. While she lives on the beach in New South Wales (with my Dad), she loves to travel to … Continue reading
