Food, drink and booze

Sausage Fizzle

April 12, 2006

Working from home, while an enticing concept, is effecting me strangely. At first I was worried I was beginning to hate the whole no-human-contact hermit idea, but… like a mate of mine said, it’s actually enticing me to get out and about a lot more. Even just walking to the shops this afternoon after work, [...]

Slurpless

April 4, 2006

The washing machine in our new place lasted one rumbly week before it began barking out sputtering explosions whenever the spin cycle commenced. Thankfully, our landlord has weathered callouses on his thumbs from twiddling them for days on end, so ten days later we’re still without a working washing machine. This made the decision to [...]

The World is Nut Enough

March 29, 2006

What kind of a holiday is it when you seem to have caught the flu? I’m unsure whether to view this either as a result of the majorly excessive drinking over the last fortnight, or simply as a drinking challenge for the next two weeks of my holiday. Regardless, I am holing up for the [...]

Enter the Gaytrix

March 3, 2006

Last night was spent in one of those modern horrors: pubs entirely enclosed in shopping centres (to my credit, at the behest of a hot girl I haven’t caught up with in months). This particular pub scores even more points of infamy for attempting to recreate a beer garden indoors. Please, please stop with the [...]

January 11, 2006

Y’know how there’s those food facts people gleefully let loose… things you really didn’t want to know? I’m not talking about bullshit like KFC serving rabbit, but queasy facts that put you off your dinner quicker than Channel 10′s bright idea for Monday-to-Friday primetime viewing (an Australian version of The Biggest Loser? Five nights a [...]

Tastes Like Drunker

January 5, 2006

OF COURSE I’ll be back to drinking alcohol before the week is out. I think the underlying problem was my insatiable need to get absolutely plastered to the point where I couldn’t walk or talk on a weekly basis. What’s probably required are some new ground rules: no drinking before I go out to meet [...]

Originality Zero

January 3, 2006

So I’ve successfully managed my first day back at work without plunging back into the world of liquor. Even after someone belatedly pushed a Secret Santa present my way – a bottle of wine. Luckily, wine is not something I’ve ever craved or been particularly fond of, so it’s just sitting on display in the [...]

Tastes Like Sober

January 2, 2006

Most folks I know seem remarkably keen at what 2006 has to offer. Myself? Well, I’m feeling strangely ambivalent about 2006. There’s a little shakiness in the “what do I want to accomplish this year” department, I suppose. Most years I’ve grittily resolved to find a better job, but I’m pretty happy with the job [...]
