I suppose I’ve always had a thing for car trips. We didn’t leave the house very much in Romania, but I quickly learned that in Australia, people tend to leave their homes slightly more. We were making efforts to integrate, so I ruled that the family would go out at least once a week. Things …
Sadie’s getting a bit carried away with her renovation plans, if you ask me. I know she’s loaded now, but does that mean she needs a whirlpool Jacuzzi, a rainfall shower with built-in sound system and an infrared sauna? I’m just wondering if maybe she should… like, save some of that inheritance money for a …
Everyone knows that window tinting is one of the easiest ways to achieve thermal comfort, so I don’t understand why people aren’t behind me on this. True, I might have gone a little hard on drumming it in at the last few team meetings, but I wouldn’t have had to go to extremes if someone …
There’s a phantom car in town, and I’ve had just about had it up to here with it. The sound of its engine revving somehow drills through seven dimensions, with nary a thought for mortal eardrums. And the thing has zero concern for road rules, carving through front yards, ovals and even waterways like it’s …
Running a catering business from home, it turns out, is no walk in the park. I thought my operation was small enough to get away without having a commercial kitchen at my disposal, but I’m rapidly realising that I was wrong. Half the problem is the fridge, which is perpetually filled with grazing table fodder, …
You know that type of house that was super commonplace when you were a kid, to the point that you can’t help but turn your nose up at it design-wise? This doesn’t really rely on you being born at any particular time, by the way. I’ve no doubt that people of all generations can relate …
I’m back, see! Can’t keep a good reporter down for long, even if I wasn’t so much ‘down’ as I was lying on a beach in Brisbane. Down in elevation, I guess, but I’m back in good old Melbourne town and on the trail of the biggest scoop of my career, see! That vigilante is …
Our family doesn’t usually take on interstate jobs, but sometimes the money is really good. A big corporation paid us quite a lot to come and ‘take care of’ some of their business rivals, and they threw in first-class flights, so we figured…why not? Never seen Queensland before. We mixed a bit of business with …
As someone who is a spooky skeleton, I don’t think people really understand the struggles I face. People around me are constantly forgetting that the phrase ‘somebody’ is very triggering, because I do not have a body, on account of me being a spooky skeleton. I would cry, if I still had tear ducts. I …
Animated shows really do have an addiction to complexity, and I acknowledge that. You’ve got a piece of Western media, for instance, and the premise is something like ‘some high school kids are secretly werewolves!’. Or ‘some kids turn into animals!’. But then you get to an animated show and it’s all ‘in the year …
