  • I am a marketing genius.

    I am a marketing genius. It hasn’t even been a week and we’ve already sold FOUR of the Jordana Paige bags. Of course, business acumen is a double-edged sword… We’re sold out of the brown messenger bags, which was the one that I wanted for myself. 🙁

  • House hunting

    That million would’ve come in handy.I should mention that I did not make it to the Big Brother auditions this year as I had intended. Instead the Snook and I began our pursuit of the great Australian dream – we went house hunting. That’s right; we two perpetual adolescent geeks are actually planning to buy…

  • YARN Magazine

    Apparently the first issue of YARN Magazine should be hitting the newsagencies this week! Any Sydneysiders spotted one in the wild yet? Update: They sent the shop a copy! I like the articles, look, and vibe of the magazine, but I have to say that the patterns didn’t especially grab me. I did like the…

  • Trail Note

    Trail NoteOn Wednesday I bought a new pedometer, one with a stopwatch and distance calculation built-in. The distance thing is a bit of a crapshoot; you tell it how long your stride is and it multiplies that by the number of steps you do. Factor in the fuzziness of determining a “step”… and the error…

  • Catboy and TAR9

    On my way home from work tonight, I could swear I heard a far-off wailing noise, almost as if someone in, say, Perth was crying out in devastation. Poor Robert. You could’ve been a Fern! At least we know that there will be another season of the Race, and that it won’t be another of…

  • Goblet of Fire Review

    Goblet of Fire Review:Okay, now I feel like I’ve had a few days to digest the movie and I can talk about it objectively. I’d warn you that there are spoilers ahead, but if you haven’t seen it and you haven’t read the book, what the heck are you doing reading this anyway?As with Pride…

  • Whore-Stand

    “Whore-Stand.” Oh man, that is hilarious. I love Max‘s funny teaching stories. Now I’m going to have to go read The Scarlet Letter.

  • Sienna Miller meets Jem

    DeskCam: As usual, I went to see my hairdresser Paige tonight with the simple intention of touching up my roots and having a trim. As usual, I left with something completely different. It’s shorter, blonder… and with rockin’ new hot pink highlights. It’s like Sienna Miller meets Jem and the Holograms.

  • Small Positives

    It’s the little things. I just realized that A) my BMI is 27.5, which means I’m no longer “obese” and I’m halfway to my healthy range; and B) I’ve dropped down a level on my WW exercise Points calculator. (Technically this isn’t so great, because it means I earn less Points for the same exercise…
