Musical Monday

Back to the old stuff… because I came across some classics the other day, and I love ‘em.
I discovered Joan Jett a few years ago, way after the rest of the world. Wellll, I knew her stuff, I just didn’t realise she sang it! And I love her stuff. There’s something about upfront, self-respecting and [...]

TV Advertisers: Speak Aussie, Dammit!

There’s one TV experience that’s guaranteed to make me scowl.
Not ads, in and of themselves. I may sigh, or scoff, or make smart-arse remarks, but I don’t often scowl. But when I do, it’s almost always because some multinational company is too cheap to Australianise their ads. And that gets me wanting to kick some [...]

Fever! In the Morning…

Well, the mystery virus is still with me. I woke up yesterday morning feeling OK-ish… then subsided into sleep and fever and aching everything. Darn. About midnight, last night, the fever lifted. I have dire suspicions that it’s just biding its time, but I’d love to be wrong. Because this thing is NASTY. Inflamed sinuses, [...]

Blahhhhh

Sorry folks, no Musical Monday today. Am lying in bed feeling sorry for myself… my head’s pounding, sinuses are aflame, and limbs feel more like dumbbells than… well, limbs. But on the bright side, Nurofen is my ever-faithful friend. I’d usually finish with a MWAH, but you don’t wanna catch whatever the hell this is.

Starving Babies, Postnatal Depression, And What To Do?

If you’re not from around here – most of Brisbane has been shocked and saddened to discover that a pair of 18 month old twins died from starvation and possible torture/abuse a few weeks ago. One of their siblings found them.
I think it’s fair to say that most people are outraged. But I’m not (sorry, [...]

Killing Bunnies

A few Christmases ago, Hubby was given a game by my parents. They’d been a bit unsure what to get him, so took the advice of my littlest brother. BWAHAHAHA.
The game is called Killer Bunnies (and the Quest for the Magic Carrot), and it’s a bit of a cult phenomenon. Because it’s damn funny, and [...]

Very Personal Opinions Meme

I thought this up on the way to the train station the other morning. Why? Good question. I think it might’ve had something to do with Evyl, and not having had brekky. Meh.
My opinion on -
Body piercings:
Too much effort. Yup, I’m a lazy sod.
Genital piercings:
That’s gotta feel better than it looks, right? Cos it looks [...]

This Is The Story That Never Ends…

I think maybe THAT distinction can go to my Life in a Fairytale series… but damn this Fiction Blogger story is spawning AND going in a bloody weird direction. Although looking forward has at least given me a few giggles Thankfully. Because it’s pretty bloody boring so far. Hopefully someone’s sticking with it [...]

Breastfeeding Bikkies – Recipe

OK, dodgy name. But this is a recipe I threw together yesterday for a friend who’s having a baby soon, and it’s the best name my enfeebled mind can come up with at the moment. Basically, they’ve got ingredients which are said to help promote milk production. Oats, flaxseed oil/meal and fennel. I’ve included the [...]
