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 …
Mostly I like to keep out of office politics, except when it’s super juicy. Then I am ALL about the office politics. Like how Regina just borrowed a few thousand off her former best friend Quinn, and then Quinn saw her yesterday with new shoes and she was all like “I lent you money to …
Jerry really needs to stop calling me at 2am to talk about his building projects. It’s great that my brother is so enthused about things, and I’m probably going to want to take advantage of this building lark at some point in the not too distant future, but honestly… there’s a line. I mean, he’s …
There’s lots of talk going around lately about kitchen design, at least in my circles. It started with Rodney and Hector getting their splashback redone, which was swiftly followed by Jenny having her cupboards refaced. Now Marianne, Camilla and Jacques are all talking about layout changes, benchtop finishes and the latest scoop in kitchen colour …
