The battle continues

I scrolled through my newly acquired RSS list the other day to find that the world has acquired another holy warrior in the battle against insipid yet somehow wildly offensive bullshit. Reading Mary’s post reminded me that I had attempted to post a comment in response to the very Ask Sam post she is denouncing. [...]

"I’m an arsehole. Love me."

Yesterday Jelly and I decided to indulge in a Winonathon, which consisted of sparkling rose, popcorn, Girl, Interrupted (remember when Angie used to be hot?!) and the inimitable Reality Bites. So much Winona! You know, it’s a real pity she doesn’t make movies anymore, what with the shoplifting and the court case and all. She [...]

Just a lovely day

I was walking down Johnston st today when a women dashed out of a hair salon and bailed me up on the footpath. Would I be interested in working as a hair model? Did I have time for a colour today? I was, and I did, and now my hair is a rich and chocolatey [...]

Hot hot heat

My word, it is hot at the moment. Somehow without my even noticing it the weather’s steamed up to a consistent 30 degrees plus. I guess this means summer has started.

This depresses me because I’ve always thought that a sudden acquisition of grace would accompany some sort of magical turning point of grownupness, turning me from vague and dropsy child to elegant and [...]

Art bitch

The lovely Catherine Campbell had invited Jelly and I to a very, very cool illustration show at [...]

Teef

Recently I’ve been dreaming that my teeth are falling out. A lot. Like, every second night. Most of the time I’m going about my business and I realise that one of my molars is missing, then a few of my teeth just start dropping out, and then a few more, until I am frantically trying [...]

Farewell, Lucky: we barely knew ye

It’s incredibly quiet around here; soft, peaceful, the night air unbroken by man or fowl. I can’t get used to the lack of noise, although it’s a welcome quiet. It’s quiet because today a nice man came and took the rooster away. Farewell, Lucky: you’ve gone to a better place.
For those of you not in [...]
