  • mx article

    Here it is. Not a bad picture in the end, though they spelled my name wrong, of course. (Trivia: He wanted Melissa and I to be sharing a laugh so at this moment we’re actually discussing her humongous pregnant boobs.) I also enjoyed the fact that – despite speaking to the journalist for fully ten…

  • Radio Interview

    I’m gonna be on the radio!This is just my week of total media convergence. I just got a call from someone at Radio 2GB who read my article in mx today (I haven’t even seen it yet!) and wanted to know I’d like to be interviewed on Murray Wilton’s “The Good Life” tonight. Sure, why…

  • H2OHNO!

    h2ohno!I got suckered into buying a bottle of h2go sparkling tangerine today. I figured it couldn’t be that bad for me, given that it’s basically just water with a little flavouring added. It was only hours later when I was inputting my WW Points for the day that I realized the stuff has 1.5 Points…

  • Helpful Tip

    Here’s a helpful tip for you: Whenever a trendy bartender says, “I’ll just pop to the kitchen and get the soy sauce,” cancel your drink order. So says me, who in a misguided fit of bravado ordered and then actually drank a “manuka honey and soy martini” on Friday night. Yeah, I basically drank a…

  • Cast On

    DUDE! I just discovered that the gay sock monkey cowboys were mentioned in episode 11 of Cast-On, one of the most prominent knitting podcasts. It’s towards the beginning when Brenda is talking about subversive knitting, and she says that the award for the week goes to my “Brokeback monkeys.” Apparently they made her laugh really…

  • Lucy’s Cardy

    I just stumbled across a photoessay about the new Journey to Narnia exhibit at Disney MGM Studios, and it includes a really nice photo of Lucy Pevensie’s lovely 1940’s embroidered cardigan. Because I just know you all sat through the movie analyzing the knitwear, as I did.
