In a dream the other night, I packed down a venue after an event and found there was a large wooden box I had to carry home.

I don’t do new year’s resolutions. I do new year’s SWOT analyses. It’s a tradition that began many years ago in my old house in Toowong, Brisbane. Five of us planned to have a quiet New Year’s Eve dinner while everyone else went out partying. As it turned out, the five of us ended up […]

I could tell you how we dated for a few weeks and how he treated me a bit shabbily towards the end. I could explain that we have lots of mutual friends so we ended up at the same party one night. I could tell you that he attacked me after almost everyone else had […]

Everyone knows it’s a new year. I’ve got better things to talk about. Like the Bible and how self-expression is a basic human need on a par with food and my theory of how people consistently move from a spiritual experience or two to dogma and the dream of gluten free pastry and invisible misogyny and […]

I’m off to Europe on Saturday. Finally, after talking about it for about eight years. I’m never putting something awesome off for that long again! It’s going to be so awesome that I’ve been inspired to start a new blog about travelling. I’m hoping to post there sporadically even when I’m not on a trip […]

Yesterday afternoon I spent about 45 minutes exploring the State Library of Victoria building. It was research for a project I’m working on for October (check out its website if you want more information; I’m still getting my head around it). Research involved taking a few photos. I’ll have to go back and see a […]

A lot of people I know seem to know a lot of random information. For a writing project I’m working on I need to know a lot of random things so rather than looking things up myself, I thought I’d ask my blog readers whether you know any of the things this project is asking […]

My friend is starting a business. We had a Facebook chat about it yesterday. I’m posting an excerpt because it reminded me that while I’ve been a bit stressed and run down lately, I’m still confident I’m doing the right thing with my life. Friend: Any tips for getting out of the rat race? Me: First, […]

It’s festival week. A month of massive weekends (in which, as discussed previously, I am used to sleeping) in the lead-up is probably not the most strategic manoeuver in terms of personal energy conservation/stockpiling but there’s nothing I can do about that now. Luckily, I’m really excited about the festival which is pretty energising. I […]
