More Gym Thoughts, by Kris Howard: I think sometimes guys go overboard in their quest to look “hardcore”. This one guy caught my eye tonight as I was doing my quad exercises. He was doing chin-ups in the corner, but apparently lifting his own body weight was too easy for this He-Man. So he was…

I’m Belle! She’s my favorite! Which Disney princess are you? It’s not the most well-written quiz – Hello? Look at my result up there – but it’s an entertaining Thursday diversion. (Link courtesy of Brigita.)

R.I.P. Spike Milligan. Did you know that he was Roald Dahl‘s first choice to play Willy Wonka?

What was I thinking? Christmas my ass. This is just like moving all over again. It’s gonna take all day to unpack this stuff…

Walking through the Broadway Shopping Centre today, my bad fashion spidey-sense started tingling. I quickly looked around for the source of the irritation. No, it wasn’t any of my fellow shoppers, and it certainly wasn’t me. That’s when I realized that every mannequin in every single shop window was wearing… a ra-ra skirt. *shudder* It’s…

I can’t tell the expensive stuff from the plonk. Anyway, that’s…

So I go to check out this Stripper FAQ that anon linked, thinking it would be good for a laugh. (Warning, link not exactly work safe.) Instead I found myself choking on my orange juice once I realized the chick made more – working just three nights a week – than I did at my…

I’ve been thinking about that “audience” thing I said below. You know, in my mind I think of the audience of this site just being the folks that leave comments. But I myself visit lots of sites where I just lurk and never post anything. So I wonder – do I have many lurkers? If…

Photoshop 7.0 for Mac OSX is out! It looks sweeeet. Of course, it’s $600 American. That’s $1200 Australian. That’s a month’s rent. I cannot justify spending a bloody month’s rent on a piece of software. Thus, as of yesterday I have officially switched to The GIMP. It’s not the easiest thing in the world to…
