Feeling cheeky… January 8, 2010

… or at least I was when I started this post several hours ago. Now, not so much, but hey. Also, this post is rated. You have been warned. So this gentleman here referred me here for reasons that will remain relatively undisclosed. Suffice it to say that it suffices to say where I obtained [...]

Green sludge January 3, 2010

There are lots of ways I could tell this story. I could go with the crazy bus trip which involved getting stuck in the mud, spending the night in the middle of nowhere, meeting 4 shy nuns and a rude bus driver, losing my luggage [on a bus?!] and getting charged 100,000 [still on a [...]

Blue. And not the good kind. December 22, 2009

I went to the hotdog stand today, you know, to get a hotdog. I’m feeling pretty down and hotdogs are the ultimate comfort food after ice cold weetabix. I’ll need that, later. The hotdogs are doused in mayo and ketchup, and dipped in diced, salted onions. I usually skip the pickles and mustard, coz I’m [...]

Time for a serious post December 13, 2009

There are some advantages in having a smart kid. One is that in some senses, I worry about her less. I know she’s made of good stuff and that she will thrive in this crazy world. The other is that it’s so fun watching her put some idiotic overzealous adult in their place. But it [...]

No more twama December 7, 2009

I feel like I should write something. So… something There. It’s my birthday today. And my little girl’s too. She was born on my 21st, and she’s perfect. Well, no she’s not, but I adore her, and I always will. Happy birthday little girl. Even if I don’t get another birthday present ever, it’s all [...]

Feeling my feelings November 25, 2009

I can’t help smiling whenever I hear that phrase. It makes me think of some motivational speaker or life coach in some movie, I forget which, screaming ‘feeeeel your feelings!’ A few weeks ago I thought all those were hoaxes. It seemed strange to me that anyone would pay some stranger oodles of money to [...]

I love the internet! November 19, 2009

Especially Google Reader. So apparently, Johnny Depp is the sexiest man alive. Again. Amen to that. The boy is hot! I have adored him right from the days of 21 Jumpstreet. Apparently, he has crossover appeal and is loved by women of all ages. Again, amen to that. Previous double winners include Richard Gere [yum!] [...]

Back to sanity November 11, 2009

What. It’s after lunch. Two people I know [of] were on TV yesterday. They looked all smart and hotshot talking about social media and the usefulness [or not] of twitter and facebook. Me, I’m just in it for the rant.  But it did get me thinking. In my other life, the one where I use [...]

Cryptic … eureka? October 30, 2009

A week ago I asked a question and last night a got my answer. It was a long and painful answer, but then, it was a long and painful question. The answer is yes. The questions wasn’t ‘what colour did the original kencell-celtel-zain-whatever-it’s-called-now use’, though I’d like an answer to that as well. Yes, it [...]

Just like Paula October 27, 2009

There are two topics that I generally don’t delve into: abortion and gays. It’s not that I don’t have a stand on these matters. It’s just that they ignite such passion, the kind of passion that I can’t handle. My own voice on both topics is so still and quiet that it doesn’t seem worth [...]
