Best of YouTube

I’ve never actually had a professional manicure.
Shocked?
Nah, I didn’t think so.
But this video kinda highlights half of the reasons I’ve never had one:

Writing 101

Very, very occasionally (like, almost never) I come across someone more cynical than me.
No, really!
And just to prove it, here’s a post from my latest cynical encounter-sharer…
Writing 101
What’s the difference between a creative writing instructor and a whore?
Answer: a whore provides you with tangible service for your money.
Almost made me turn my keyboard into a [...]

Musical Monday

Romance, rebellion, revenge… this video has it all! Oh yeah, and it made me laugh.
Erm… I didn’t notice much about the music it was showcasing, the video was too distracting…

Audio Editing Software

I’m currently exploring the possibility of adding podcasts – basically audio-book type readings of stories – to Nomesque Fiction. NOT, I want to point out, with the idea of replacing the text versions. As an addition. Then, all going well, I’m hoping to turn those audio files into YouTube vids with some still photos.
In my [...]

New Fiction

Nomesque Fiction has a couple of new Computer Blue stories:
Pipe-Working
They met again the next ‘morning’ – 8am by Zara’s new wristwatch. She’d also located the clothing store, and dressed herself in an outfit labeled ‘1960s retro’ – a red miniskirt and a bright, swirling, loose top which almost covered the teeny skirt.
“Wow!” Parlie said, circling [...]

You might know that I soured on eBay after the whole compulsory-PayPal fiasco here in Australia.
So, when I was wandering around YouTube and found this, I just had to share…

Hehehe!

I Fell in Love

It was a Monday night.
Australian Idols were singing for their lives.
Australian Idol hosts were doing the usual lame suspense-y stuff.
And then Metro Station came on stage.
The music SUCKED. I’m tempted to blame the TV (30 years old) or the Aussie Idol sound equipment – it does seem to do shocking things to apparently ‘fantastic’ performances [...]

Blog Promotions

In case you haven’t guessed, I’m a little obsessed right now about writing, and alternative methods of delivery, and promotion of my fiction, and all sorts of other poncy stuff.
One thing I’ve done is to put a bit more of an effort into social networking.
“Oh FFS!” I hear you mutter. <– Frankly, that’s usually my [...]

Musical Monday

I really need to find a site that (reliably) features Indie Music videos. Because I searched YouTube for ‘indie music australia rock’ and got this:

Michael Paynter – Closer.
Not bad, but he’s definitely not indie, dammit!
And… to me, he looks as though he wants to be singing rock, but some bastard put [...]

Domestic Violence – The Quiet Side

This morning, I wandered over to the blog of Dok Holocaust, evil genius. He’s done a fantastic post on a side of domestic violence that isn’t at all trendy or – apparently – media-worthy… men who are victimised by women.
Violence against men isn’t a popular topic because, I guess, it strikes at a couple of [...]
