Every day, more junk mail. I’ve tried putting up signs and everything, but it doesn’t matter; there are no repercussions, so people just ignore them. It’s not like I have laser tripwires out there or anything, so people just stroll up to the door and drop things through because of the slightest, tiniest chance that …
Everywhere I go, I’m consumed by questions that are socially-awkward to ask but I still really want to know them. Take the bus for example. I know when you’re on the bus, you always see the bus drivers waving to each other. Always that quick acknowledgement and you think to yourself that there must be …
I just found a bunch of flash cards on my little bro’s desk while I was snooping around in his room at our parents’ house. He’s living there while he finishes off his physiotherapy degree, much to my glee – it’s my chance to find out what the little dude actually gets up to. The …
I really envy those people dressing up as superheroes for the upcoming Com-Book-Con in Melbourne. They’re like the training wheels of cosplay, because most of the time you can just put on a full costume with a mask and that’s it. No hair work, no special makeup, and you can probably just buy a movie …
Travelling by plane is relatively different to trains, I’ve decided. I never flew before last Saturday and it all seemed very strange to me, going up I the air in a big metal thing. It doesn’t flap its wings, so how does it fly? I had so many questions, spawning from a sheltered upbringing in …
Two weeks ago my grandfather got home from church and in a panic, told me that he needed someone experienced in termite exorcism. He went on to explain that the church was falling to bits and he suspects termites were to blame. Everyone in the church had been noticing how bad the place had started …
Another day, another dollar. Happily for me, I really like how I spend my days, and this coincides with how I get my dollars. What can I say? Mobile instrument repair is my jam, and I wouldn’t have it any other way. Having said that, things would be going even more smoothly if I had …
No, amazingly I do not think a cocktail night works for a baby shower theme. Is anyone familiar with fetal alcohol syndrome? I guess not; I’m the first one out of all my friends to be having a baby, and no one has bothered to do a lick of research in case this ever happens …
Construction is fascinating, if extremely clumsy and odd. Home ownership interests me as well, although the general concept is less intriguing because it’s essentially the same thing as signing an arcane contract. That is, the easiest branch of wizardry. My nephew could perform contract spells, and that boy is destined for a bottom-of-the-barrel career cleaning …
Lightning most definitely strikes twice in the same place. If it had only struck once, they maybe the tree-house would’ve stood a chance. We managed to get out there and put out the fire, and we were in the kitchen congratulating ourselves when there was ANOTHER lightning strike. Long story cut short, the tree was …
