Why Aren’t You Wearing a Shirt?

October 19, 2009

There’s been an awful lot going on at our place, hence my blog-absence over the past couple of weeks. We now have a housemate living with us, which is actually pretty awesome, although our place has turned into a bit of a frat house. Since Ken moved in, we now have under one roof: two [...]

January 5, 2009

We’re moving house in a few weeks. This has caused us to reassess all the things we’ve never been able to do or buy in our current house. We’ve concluded the top five benefits are:

1. Domestic boxing bag
Adam has longed for a boxing bag in the home, but we’ve never had enough room. This new [...]

Introducing the Semi-Concerning Problems Hotline

December 21, 2008

There’s barely four hours of sleep in me, but what a night! We had a bit of a gay pub crawl around the city and ended up crawling home at 4am.
I’ve always marvelled at the uniqueness of the “back room” concept at gay bars. Really, it’s just ticking the last missing box for the reasons [...]

‘Tis the Season To Be Terrified

December 13, 2008

Curses! I’ve normally completed all of my dreary Christmas shopping in November, but seem to have dropped the ball this year. At the risk of my mental coherence, I’m about to plunge headlong into Melbourne’s major shopping area less than two weeks before Christmas.
Considering how bonkers things can get in major department stores at this [...]

Drunken Summaries

November 22, 2008

Everyone’s had those moments where their partner arrives home, more than a little tipsy, and mumbles that they’ve accomplished some sort of drunken superhero act. In the past, Adam has arrived home with these delightful summaries of his evening for me:
• “I’ve just called my boss a bitch in front of all 250 staff!”
• “I [...]

Making it to Third Bass

October 18, 2008

After a lifetime of household members unexpectedly entering a room to find me thrashing around and jumping off furniture, in what usually began as air guitar but always progressed to some sort of impression of the onset of an airborne orgasm; I decided to learn bass guitar for real this year.
My selection criteria for the [...]

When a Game of Bowls Goes Tits-Up

October 14, 2008

Ahem. AHEM! Hello? It’s been a while since I was in this blogging game. How does this work again? Where does my Amazon Wishlist link go? Are we still doing that? No…? Right.
Well, this-here old blog has sat dormant for some years now. Maybe you remember me from back in the day. Maybe not. That’s [...]

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 [...]

Window to Environmental Destruction

October 12, 2005

Is recycling paper as useless as trying to drink an Extra Dry at a reasonable pace, without foam spoofing out of the bottle after every swig? (It’s not just me, is it?)
Seriously. I’ve always gone to extremely unreasonable efforts to avoid littering and make sure I’m recycling. But after my last job in Melbourne, I’ve [...]

A Christmas Story Which I Procrastinated Finishing Until After Christmas

December 30, 2001

Since my parents learnt that Adam was more than a flatmate and I was more than a sad individual leading a futile girl-less life, he’s been embraced wholeheartedly as part of the family. Christmas and birthday presents are now flung enthusiastically his way each year, with increasingly larger and more expensive items being mailed to [...]
