Survey says: Australian women are just as likely to be into consensual group sex as men.
Well, derr.
I mean, does that actually surprise anyone? Really? Okay, anyone who is not Senators Fielding or Conroy? Here it is reported, go and read and see if it isn’t just basic common sense, then. Some human beings of both genders [...]

Every now and then I get an image in my head that I want to chase, but it requires another human being. A model, a subject, you know, someone to be in the actual shot.
Thank whichever deity who cares to listen for self-timer functionality on modern cameras, then, because I’ll be damned if I can [...]

I watched Die Hard 4 the other day. Yes, I know, don’t blame me, it’s not like I chose the flick. The 12 year old part-time resident of the household left it lying about and his father caught sight of it before I could hide it under the couch.
