  • Lessons in Manliness from Atticus Finch

    Lessons in Manliness from Atticus Finch. I love To Kill a Mockingbird SO MUCH. You can keep your Great Gatsby and your Catcher in the Rye; as far as I’m concerned, Mockingbird is The Great American Novel.

  • Right on, Ross Gittins

    “Floods expose national loss of loyalty and respect for leaders.” Right on, Ross Gittins. Fully agree. Also, I think “deathbed bastardry of Kristina Keaneally” needs to be an album title NOW.

    My opera write-up and photos got published by @innerwestlive! http://bit.ly/eWWVe4

    I should NOT have checked nutrition information on that Guzman burrito. 90g of carbs! No wonder they always put me in a coma.

    @mikeh2bi Yes, I think that’s definitely the go next time I’m there…

    Found an old pic of me & Mom this morning. Isn’t she gorgeous? And what a fatty-boombalatty bub I am. 🙂 http://twitpic.com/3vd4bb

    @thepurple8 @lahondaknitter @kristinrohan Awww, thanks!

    Snook managed 5 days of commuting on his bike before stacking it. He’s okay; just skinned a knee. Inevitable, he says. #worry

    @that_alison I think UK English has just as many superfluous bits. One that drives me up the wall is “orientate.” Needless extra syllable!

    Hope my family are all okay in the coming Snowpocalypse. Wish I could send some of this 100-degree heat over to you!

    KICK. ASS. I have finally cracked that damn rowing machine! 103m & 101m tonight. The amazing thing is that it actually felt *easy*. My core strength, coordination, and form have improved so much in the past year.

    Other than that, the usual stuff: boxing, running, weight lifting, elliptical, spin bike, squats, abs, etc…

    This is awful. The Republicans know that many abortion foes still make an exception in the case of rape… so why not define rape to be even narrower! Hey, she was asking for it! *puke*

  • City Farming

    I just made a post on Life in Chippendale about a proposal to convert part of Sydney Park and the Powerhouse Museum carpark into educational and farming facilities. Great idea! I love the idea of little urban farms. (It was The Goode Life that did it.)

    I’ve introduced like 5 people so far to @amandapalmer’s music in the past week. Have I forced you to listen yet? I will.

    Puff sleeves always make me feel like Anne of Green Gables.

    @voicework But I don’t wanna be a pirate! #highvoice 🙂

    I love seeing a giant blank space on the SMH website and knowing it’s because Flashblock has stopped some big stupid intrusive advert.

    @venks79 Ads may be a necessary evil, but giant Flash ads spring from Satan’s bowels.

    I love the 1st of the month when I get to balance the household accounts and check the budget. Yes, I am weird and slightly OCD.

    @stufromoz You would, perhaps, find it less endearing if you had to live with me. 🙂

    Easy walk/jog home from work. Still fighting new backpack.

  • Fringe

    Awesome. The SMH says my fringe is totally trendy! Too bad I suck at styling it.
