If I’d known the number of boxes that need to be ticked in the course of building a house, I may never have started on this ridiculous journey. At least, I might have opted for something more straightforward than this split-level pole home concept… but then, what else would I put on this block? At …
Ah, sports… everyone’s favourite topic of conversation. Except mine, that is. It’s not that I actively dislike it; it’s just that I don’t really know much about it, and have very little inclination to prioritise changing that. Unfortunately, here in Melbourne it’s considered de rigueur to have a footy team, as my colleagues never let …
Open-plan…open-plan just everywhere. And why not? It’s the big space-saving trend! Stick a kitchen in the corner of a room, slap down a few tiles and you’re golden. You have a kitchen/lounge without anyone in the estate agency business having to skimp on the description. But what if you’re on a bit of a budget, …
They say that if you can’t stand the heat, then you better get out of the kitchen. What I’d add to that is that if you can’t stand the chamber, get out of the…house. Specifically, my house. No, but really. EVERYONE has something to say about how I seem unsociable when they come to visit. …
First it was the tinting, and it SEEMED like a good idea. I still maintain that it had a net benefit, since people were getting unforgivably distracted by what was happening outside. There’s a city square right below the office, and every day it seemed to be something else. A very proficient juggler booked the …
Anyone seen those new Aqua-Pods? Lawrence Corp just did a live demo and I managed to catch the stream on my lunch break. I try to keep up with the latest tech, but that company does make things a little difficult, given that they seem to come out with something completely new every single day. …
I’m not sure a murder mystery is really appropriate for children. Now, I’m not going to tell Abigail how to raise her child- even though someone should, because I’m seeing just a tad too much sugar being passed around at those parties- but I let my daughter go to that party on the condition that …
My cousin – let’s call her Nelly – has always been very outgoing. I would describe her as a classic extrovert, with a solid dose of self-awareness to temper the parade of sociable energy that’s forever streaming out of her. We went to the same primary school, and I remember her being known throughout the …
I don’t want to be, like…snooty, or anything. Still, I do really think that Pro Fidget Spinning is a little bit above most of its competitors. When I say that, I mean all the fringe sports waiting to gain mainstream acceptance. None of them really cater to a mass demographic like we do, they don’t …

Every now and then, you just have to return to the classics. Pretty Car Dealer Sailor Hoon feels pretty relevant right now, since Dinky-Dai-Animation is producing a reboot with what seems to be an absolutely massive budget, so while I look forward to that, let us revisit the 90s classic! The new series is going …
