To everyone who supported my crazy self this year, thank you. This will likely sound like a bunch of self-congratulatory wank, but so what, I have a lot to sing about today. One degree down. Yessss! The moment I truly never thought would arrive has finally arrived. It still seems a bit surreal. Six very…
I got my hands on the latest Janet Evanovich book, Takedown Twenty. While I haven’t enjoyed the last couple of books in the Stephanie Plum series, I do still have a soft spot for them as these were the books that got me into the bumbling female mystery solver style of book. So I bought…
Here’s another one I had to read for my English degree. You wouldn’t know I almost qualify for one by the amount of spelling and grammatical errors in some of my posts, but that’s what happens when you usually write after an exhausting 12 hour day with a screaming toddler hanging off you refusing to…
Tonight I am going to review The Slap by Christos Tsiolkas. This was required reading for my English degree and since I recall seeing ads for it plastered all over Melbourne on buses and billboards and the like. I knew it won a zillion awards and critics loved it, I figured it might have been…
A few weeks ago I was driving along minding my own business (well, as much as you can mind your own business when you’re a nosy snot like me) and I happened across some truly terrifying graffiti. Unless you count the large criminal enterprise that I run inside my head, I’m not in a gang.…
It’s 2am. The lights are off and the halls are dark. The only sound is the ambulance band on the radio. Little squawks, followed by call signs: “Bravo one two zero: Code one on Sheridan street.” The ward is empty tonight, save for the alleged ghost roaming the halls near theatre. l haven’t met her…
Don’t worry, that wasn’t the sound of me biting off more than I can chew! That was me swallowing the last unpalatable bite of university for the year! FOREVER! Sort of. Unpalatable is the wrong word really. The assignments tasted like recycled cardboard and the university’s attitude towards certain things tasted like all the bitterness…
I’ve been reading quite a lot of “girly” fiction the last few days and I have come to the conclusion that the heroines are all daft and terrible people. I’ve mostly been reading the humourous mystery genre, you know, the bumbling female detective kind, and I’m getting a little fed up with chicks who are…
For those of you in the dark, I am currently working in an emergency department about 60km inland of where I live. It’s a small town of maybe 10,000 souls, which is actually quite large for rural towns in this area. I have seen some pretty cool things, some really gross things and some really…
I love Queen. This song is my theme song. Queen’s Greatest Hits II album is on permanent rotation in my car. Also, if you like musicals, go check out We Will Rock You – based on Queen’s music. It’s awesome. I saw it three times in a week. Front row all times (thanks to…
