My family have never really been people of the sea. In fact, while our home country of Japan is filled with legendary fishermen in the past and present, we’ve never really been sailors of the seven seas. Why leave our beautiful islands? Well…now we have. And now some of our family are looking into whether …
I don’t know who seems more disappointed in me right now: my parents, or my glazier. I see the same type of look in their eyes, you know. It basically says, ‘oh, this crazy fool.’ There is support there, but I can see it steadily evaporating as time goes on. I can’t help it: I …
Sometimes I wonder if I do too much for this kookaburra. I took him in from the local wildlife shelter under an agreement that it was basically going to be palliative care. I get their weekly news bulletin, you see, being an avid lover of nature. They mentioned that they’d recently rescued a kookaburra; he …
Didn’t really feel like working today, so I spent most of the time on Fuzz-Feed looking at lists of stuff. I know, people say it’s all clickbait, but if you specifically seek out clickbait, then…it cease to have any power over you. Totally winning over here. One list was on ’26 Things You Won’t Believe …
I don’t know what’s wrong with everyone, going on about moon rovers and flying cars. What they fail to see is that mankind perfected the perfect method of transport years ago, so it’s up to us to perfect THAT. Think about it for a second. No one gets excited for a trip in the car. …
Today’s brain teaser in the Trumpeting Moon was a real scorcher. I pondered it all the way from my home station to Federation Square, and then I was so deep in thought that I had to get of when the train LEFT Federation Square and started to go in reverse. But then, I have that …
I don’t approve of animals on worksites, and I never will. I’m not some dog-hater, although I’m not a big dog lover either; I just think bringing them to work is a silly trend and it needs to stop, pronto. Simple as that. Seriously, these weird Millennial trends with their dog-friendly offices. I don’t even …
I was flipping through a fashion industry magazine the other day at the hairdressers, when I came across a short piece on a friend from my early uni days. We were both in the industrial design department at the time, and he was planning to move into interior architecture (I ended up transferring to engineering). …
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 …
