I Keep Snacking

I absolutely love food. It brings people together, it tastes delicious, it’s a science and it’s something fun to do. When I think about it, almost all of my plans for catching up with friends involve food. Maybe we’ll go out for brunch, or we’ll have a taco night or we’ll have some wine and …

A Grand Finale

Look, on a very visceral level, I did enjoy The Guise of Guy-Stalker. It was bold to end the entire Space Battles saga, all eight film, on a more tacit depiction of one man’s obsession with a legendary filmmaker, and all the disguises he dons to get close to him after the multiple restraining orders. …

Windowless Room

My family and I just moved into an old house in a nice suburb. The house is quite different and not in a good way. We are planning to knock it down once the money from the sale of our old house comes through. I think that’ll be a couple of months. I hope it’s …

Recipe For Disaster

This just in: the new office break room resembles a youth hostel kitchen. Not that there’s anything wrong with that – I’ve got nothing against the backpacker experience – but there’s a time and a place for that, and I’d argue that it’s not in the head office of a high-end cookbook publishing house.   …

Cooling for the Club

It’s important to stretch before and after physical activity. Tesla doesn’t understand, what with him being a cat and all, but he does a lot of stretching anyway so I hope that makes up for it being less targeted. Got to admit, when Clara was going from door-to-door handing out copies of Exercising With Your …

Undead Advice

I’ve made a huge mistake. It is now, as I stand over the twentieth grave I’ve dug today, that I realise I should have listened. There were so many people who told me not to do this. My mum. My dad. My aunts and uncles, brothers and sisters. My high school career counsellor. Melbourne cemeteries …

South North Pole

I’ve been working at the South North Pole for almost ten years now. When I first got the job, we were operating out of Antarctica, at the true South Pole. It was meant to be a complementary base to take some of the workload off of the North Pole elves, who were going on strike …

Building a Treehouse

I’m going to build the world’s best tree-house. I’ve been inspired after watching “Blue Eggs and Spam”, because the main character, Man, has the best tree-house I’ve ever seen. It’s got everything. Secret handshakes to get in, hidden cameras everywhere, an elevator and incredible lights. When I’m done with my tree-house, the show’s version will …

Sewers and Sorcerers

Every week my mates and I get together for a game of ‘Keeps and Krakens’. Each Friday we get together with snacks and dice and spent a good four hours together, delving through dungeons or slaying dragons. My character is basically the plumber of our adventuring group since I play the healer class and spend …

To Buy Or Not

There’s nothing like attempting to buy a house to make you realise that realise that renting may not be so bad after all. I mean, it’s unstable, and you’re constantly having to worry about the real estate person popping over to admonish you for having a couch on the porch. You can’t do what you …
