Bleurrrrrrrrrrgh

One of these days, I’m gonna get me some energy.
‘Til then, guess I’ll just yawn and whinge a bit more

Best Put-Down Ever

Anyone who’s been on the internet for a while knows that there are sad, lonely, pathetic people who spend their precious time seeking ways to abuse, hurt and irritate complete strangers. They’re known as ‘trolls’ – people whose contributions to others are wholly negative and who thrive on arguments and abuse.
But I know a secret.
Want [...]

The Party’s Over

We wandered off to Sydney on the weekend.
May I just say – travelling with a toddler? Dear God. Although the trip down was the worst. Public transport to (far-ish away) airport and waiting around for an hour or more once checked in meant that Bubba Boy was just a little grouchy once we got on [...]

Not All Here

I’ve been mentally busy lately.
You know, the sort of busy where your body may or may not be doing much, but your mind is whirling along on 15 different tracks, constantly?
It’s all good, in a sense. We’re going to a wedding this weekend, I’ve got a new manager at work, things are looking quite happy-making [...]

People-Watching

Trains provide a great opportunity to people-watch, and to be watched. And to interact with your fellow public transportees. Especially on the train to Ipswich, where the people and the opportunities are even more varied. Sometimes not in a good way.
This afternoon, I sat down and feasted my eyes on a gorgeous dark-skinned woman. I [...]

Wowsers

If you’re a frequent reader of this blog, chances are that you’ve noticed I like to write fiction. OK, ‘like’ is maybe a bit of an understatement… for the last year or so it’s been more like a constant obsession. Probably fueled by an incapacity to do much else!
My post title is ‘Wowsers’ [...]

Blah Humbug

Today is dedicated to comforting a sick Bubba Boy and entertaining a technophiliac Bogan Boy with violent card games. Because I’m such a GOOD mother.
*snicker*
Yesterday, after plonking Bubba Boy in bed and Bogan Boy in front of Civ4 (computer game), I sat down to type out a single sentence which had been bothering me [...]

The Rumour Mill is Gonna Love It

I went shopping yesterday.
I bought a dress and makeup and perfume. I buy makeup once every 2-3 years (except this time it’s been about 5) and usually don’t buy standard chemical-ish perfumes. But I made an exception when I smelt this one.
Then I looked again at the perfume I bought.
Dagnabbit. Widdle Shamrock is gonna LOVE [...]

I’ve Got a Bone to Pick

I don’t know who you are.
I have no idea how I’d go about tracking you down, even if I was so inclined.
I still have a bone to pick with you, though.
I’m talking to the person who found this site by searching on “what to search for”.
WHAT.
THE.
HELL????
If you don’t know what to search for, I don’t [...]

An RPG for the Rest of Us

Some people love RPGs (Role-Playing Games). This I know. And I can see the appeal, honestly. It’s just that I have a short attention span, a bad memory, and a short-term kinda imagination. And so RPGs have just never worked for me.
HOWEVER…
Like the title of this post says, now there’s an RPG for the rest [...]
