That pesky bee! Honestly, someone needs to do something about all these pesky bees around the place. I bet bees aren’t even important to the ecological process. We could probably just swat all of those pesky bees, and we’d all be a lot happier. Because they’re just so pesky. You know what else I …
As an alchemist, I have a keener interest in science than my brothers and sisters in the mystic arts. That might be the reason I purposely arranged a demonstration in front of the king in which I promised to turn the castle dung-heap into piles of gold, but actually just cast a spell that made …
I can’t believe I hadn’t even heard of Midler Lost a Tooth before I came to Australia. The whole thing is set in my home country near the turn of the century, but it’s just not a big deal there, so my friends thought they’d take me along to see a performance in Melbourne for …
These city slickers think they know everything. At the very least, they think we don’t know as much as they do, just because we’re not surrounded by thronging crowds of information workers 24/7. What do they think we’re missing out on? I can do without getting fried by wifi in metal box on a daily …
So I hear through the grapevine that Over-Botch 2 is in the works. I didn’t think there was anything wrong with the old one, so they’re really going to have to work to justify why this is in any way necessary. That’s E-Freak for you; the biggest games conference in the world, and they just …
I recently heard the phrase ‘twin burger’, which is the very specific name for when twins are friends with the same person and the three of them hang out together. Naturally, understandably, this makes me extremely angry, for obvious reasons. The burger is named after what’s inside of it, not what’s making up the outside. …
This new relaxation programme really works! What you have to do is wake up each day and instead of dwelling on human problems- money, relationships, family drama, office drama, commute drama- you instead look at things through the eyes of a friendly animal. A different one every day, mind you. Today I chose golden retriever, …
This year will quite possibly be remembered as the Year of the Failed Robot Suit. I always thought it was pretty ridiculous, but they tried so hard to get their crazy scheme off the ground. They probably still are, to be honest. Still…as a proponent of climate control science, I will admit that they at …
I think a lot of people have the wrong end of the stick about running a business. Many see it as a ticket to freedom, whatever that is. I’m not saying that being in charge of your own work can’t be liberating, but it can also be limiting. I mean, being in charge means you …
I don’t mind chatting with my sister Stacey, but sometimes it’s hard to keep up with the conversation. It’s not that it’s especially complex content-wise; it’s more to do with how rapidly she initiates changes in the topic of discussion. We’ll be talking about one thing, and then all of a sudden she’ll be going …
