Um.
Look, I love Nick Cave. My teenage years would have been a very different place if it weren’t for Nick Cave. So would my 20s. And, well, my 30s too, come to think of it. And I’ve adored movies he’s written – The Proposition, in particular, [...]

Apparently, Facebook sux at privacy. Yeah, I know. Who wudda thunk it?
This shocking development seems to have stunned the online world as if no-one were previously aware that if you stick your privates out there online, then they might not be quite so private anymore , at least not so private as they would be [...]

Oh, looksee. It’s happened again. Some gorgeous young thing with five hours of hair and makeup behind her, one of the world’s most expensive photographers in front of her and every spare cent of her multi-million dollar bank balance spent on beauty treatments, private gyms and appearance-based pampering, went and decided to pose nude and [...]

I mean, a tragic thing happened in which lots of people died and even more were left devastated in one way or another and it shocked a state, and a nation, and for a little while even the world paid attention. So it’s understandable, isn’t it, that you should want to know who’s to blame [...]

This may come as a surprise to you all, but I was never one of the cool crowd in high school.
Yeah, I know, the universe just twists in strange and mysterious ways, don’t it? But it’s an incontrovertible fact – I wasn’t one of the beautiful people when I was a teenager. I didn’t get [...]

It’s a big picture kind of matter. And I’m a big picture kind of girl.
See, to me, I can’t see a difference between Christian faith, or Isalmic faith, or Judaism, or Hinduism, or belief in Wicca or Buddism or Paganism or Astological new-age wisdom. To me, they are all very human constructs just trying to [...]

I’m a social media expert now. Well, at least according to the chap who said to me this morning, “hey you’re the expert in this social media stuff, what do you think of X“. (Where ‘X’ equals something which would identify my primary employer should I mention what it is, and ‘expert’ equals the erroneous [...]

Hmmm.
Note to self:
Tie a double-knot in the laces of the day’s shoe of choice next time. And do it *before* entering the festival size mosh-pit. ‘Cos, you know, it just totally sux to lose one’s shoes half way through the Hilltop Hoods.
Oh, okay, so that’s a bit of a misleading misnomer just to [...]

Ah, what a week. The middle-aged white men in suits must be exhausted! They’ve been so busy, the scurrelious wee things. They do get so excited when they think they’re winning.
So we’ll just wait till they’re asleep. Then we’ll knock them on their shiny, balding heads and start running the country properly, hey?
Okay, meet you down the docks at midnight then…

So, break’s over then. Time to head back into the breach. The words are piling up and somebody needs to do something with them or else there’ll be all sorts of havoc in the world. Can’t have stray, unclaimed words flitting about all over the place just waiting to get into the wrong hands now, [...]
