That was a wonderful Halloween! So jolly, so many jigs, and SO much spooking. I spooked until I collapsed in a pile of tired bones, oh-ho!! I thought I’d commemorate the occasion by going to the spookiest place in all of Melbourne, which coincidentally also let me try out my newest costume: malnourished tradie. That’s …
Jeremiah needs to loosen up about our apartment. It’s time for us to take a risk! Open up to some flair… for crying out loud, we’re both in fashion design, so it won’t do for us to have an off the rack, run of the mill, garden variety apartment. What we need is a fabulous …
People are always going on about Melbourne being more sophisticated than Sydney, more fashionable, more intellectual… and all because they have a higher proportion of people who dress in all-black, and that effortlessly moody weather. People say that Sydney lacks subtlety. They want subtlety, do they? We’ll give them subtlety. Oh, yes, we’ll give it …
Once Bernard gets on a roll with an idea, he just won’t let it go. I’m talking about his whole Charles and the Chocolate Shop thing. I haven’t actually read the book or seen the movie, so maybe I’m missing something that would convince me that it’s a good idea. But at the end of …
I have to say, I really like how children’s movies aren’t just pandering to basic fairy-tales anymore. There’s nothing wrong with being traditional sometimes, princess and prince, all of that; but it’s overdone. Too much. The world has moved on! That’s why I praise Loco for bringing us something a little different, namely a tacit …
Why do offices always have to follow the same formula? I mean, I’m sure there’s a reason for it. It’s probably to do with functional workflows and enhancing efficiency and all that stuff, which I’d probably understand if I was a commercial interior designer, or perhaps a psychologist. But as a humble, garden variety IT …
When I was a kid I wanted to be a dolphin trainer or a chocolatier. In high school, my career advisor told me I shouldn’t aim for either of those things – at least, she strongly implied it. Well, look at me now, Christine! I’ve built up a lucrative niche in crafting specialty chocolate treats …
The one saving grace of this new underwater nation is that no one’s really going to have any foot problems. People will be swimming around instead, so they’ll barely touch the ground, probably not even in their domes, which will be full of water too, I’m guessing. Essentially, the only reason people will have domes …
Honey Tiger: my arch-nemesis. He probably doesn’t know who I am, but as a proud member of the Neighbourhood Augmentation Group (NAG), I was the one who started a petition demanding that next time he performs live in concert, the decibels needs to be restricted to the level of ambient restaurant music. If everyone is …
Tempus irreparabile fugit. I came to work today to find a small note on my desk – on everyone’s desk, actually – and that was what was written on it. I like the mystery, until I googled the translation and was able to put two and two together. It was also made pretty obvious when …
