As per usual, it was a confusing and misguided episode of Her-Bla, one that didn’t seem to know what message it wanted to convey. Back in season one, the messages may have been terrible, but at least they stuck to their guns, even if they were flying in the face of logic and common sense. …
My powers of manifestation are through the roof of late, if I do say so myself. Like, perhaps even to a fault. It’s starting to get a bit spooky, frankly, ever since that brand new Macbook turned up in hard rubbish. On the plus side, my home office is looking sharp, not to mention perfectly …
What we have here is a pickle. You see, I like to think that one day I’ll live in a house with many windows. This is mainly because right now, my place is the total opposite. I’m sharing a house with other students, and because I’m a cheapskate I went for the ‘interior room’. See, …
Saving is at the top, which is fair. Buying a home, already done. Now it’s telling me that Melbourne companies for kitchen renovation are some of the best in the world and I should be jumping on that trend. Somehow that ranks above ‘Caribbean holiday’, but I’ve been rich for like a week, so what …
Was kinda hoping all the air conditioning repair team in Sydney would get involved, and there would be a sort of cooling revolution. A revolution…with cooling. maybe we’d get better cooling in our office, because while it is currently fine, it doesn’t DO anything. People refuse to switch it on, so we have the opposite …
Legitimate work while also seeing some nice country homes? We’ve had to institute a waiting list for that assignment. Just last week the focus of the episode was glass stair balustrading, something I’d never seen- we didn’t have anything of the sort in a Castle- and I found I quite liked the idea. There was …
And then I casually mentioned that I’d never see the ocean, and everyone at work looked at me like I’d grown an extra head. Maybe also turned purple. And okay, I’m from a landlocked country, but I guess it is strange, considering how much ocean there is. And Melbourne is famous for marine stainless steel …
First driving lesson: an unmitigated disaster. I have never sat behind the wheel of a car, but so many of the jobs I would like to apply for say that they need you to have a license, so I figured I’d get right on that. Lessons seemed like a good idea, especially since I’d never …
Waiting rooms are so boring. At the age of 35, you’d think I’d have learned by now to bring my own reading material when I go to the clinic, but no. So this afternoon I found myself, once again, sifting through the selection of old volumes of Financiers Weekly and TV Stuff, desperately seeking something …
You know the best way to see the future? Just…look at a baby. Preferably one you care about. Seriously, it’s flipping weird and terrifying. Once you get over how cute they are, you start thinking about what they’re going to be like as they grow up, and then how the world will be, and of …
