I have a number of friends from high school who have since reproduced. Facebook is fun for this sort of thing, you can compliment the cuteness of the child with no danger of actually having to hold or entertain said child. Oh sure I’ve met a few off spring. Emma’s baby was only 6 weeks [...]

Darling, we’re the young ones.
And young ones, shouldn’t be afwaid! I picked up the double boxed complete special edition luvverly jubbly Young Ones DVD set yesterday. I’ve been pondering it for a long while as the VHS copies we taped off the telly were worn out and tossed out years ago, but the price has choked me some. Finding [...]
Plus what now?
Poking around the internets today I hit news.com.au which is tabloid as hell but not bad for when you don’t want to read anything that makes you think. Seeing a link saying “Plus sized models at Sydney Fashion Week!” I, of course, clicked it. Being a plus sized gal I was interested to see what [...]
Snow’d
I went to see Slava’s Snow Show last night. To be honest, I wasn’t really expecting much. My Aunt bought the tickets for my mother and I for our birthdays, but I wasn’t overly keen to go. I changed my mind within about three seconds of the start of the show.
See it. Go go go [...]
A History of PCOS by Me – aged 31.
Yesterday as I staggered around Borders wishing for early death (not to be overly dramatical) I told The Boyfriend I’d picked up the PCOS Diet Book and Managing PCOS for Dummies. He said surely I could write a Dummies guide to PCOS by now, having immersed myself in it for so long.
Apparently not! Quite apart [...]
Melbourne.
I have a love/hate affair with Melbourne. I love parts of it – Fed Square, the library, the museum, but I hate the streets of it. I think that’s just my thing about crowds really. Comfest? Love. Food and Wine Festival? Hate. I went in to the city today.
It’s about an hour on the train [...]
That’s not an apology.
I’ve been pondering lately the phrase “I’m sorry if my actions/words offended anyone”. It’s a phrase used a LOT by various sportsmen here in Australia who, after being caught drinking themselves half to death then crapping in hotel hallways or vomiting on people or groping young ladies, will do a press conference and say “I’m [...]
Eighty Eight?!
Apparently. What you see there is the 88 balls of yarn I have somehow aquired, which since I’ve only been crocheting for about 18 months, works out at about 5 balls a month, excluding the ones that have been used, of course. It also doesn’t include the 4 balls of incredibly shitty acrylic I just [...]
Stash Overload
My yarn stash is taking over my life. I have the nasty habit of buying yarn because it’s in delicious colours, with no plans for what to use it for. I know, I know, you’re supposed to find a pattern THEN buy the yarn, but I tend to work backwards in these things, buying the [...]
Frente Party
I was at JBHiFi yesterday hunting around for stuffs to accidentally spend too much money on, and I found “Marvin The Album” by Frente on sale for $5. The second I saw it, I had to have it. My only copy is one Debbie dubbed for me in high school back when we had mixTAPES [...]
