Magic at Uluru
Magic at Uluru. It rained at Uluru earlier this month and a photographer was there to capture it. Amazing. Our tour guide told us how it looked in the rain when we visited last year, but said it’s a pretty rare occurrence. Neat.

FreeVote.org.au
FreeVote.org.au – I support a conscience vote on marriage equality. Do you?
Here’s the personal text I put in my email to the Prime Minister and Leader of the Opposition:
My husband and I are married. We are not religious and we don’t belong to any church. We don’t plan on having any children. Why were we allowed to get married when other couples, who happen to be gay, are not? It’s just not fair. We believe all committed and loving couples should be able to have their marriages recognised in the same way by the state.

Nigella and those carrots
Why are women depicted differently from men in food photography? EXACTLY. This is why I still have a hard time taking Nigella Lawson seriously. Men get to be chefs; women have to be porn stars posing with phallic vegetables.

- If You Lose Your iPhone You Will Have A Baby – For the record, I was pretty shattered when I lost my iPhone, but I didn’t get impregnated or forget to feed myself or anything.
- Newtown in 1992 Student Pub Guide – Part II – Wait just a second. TWELVE different kinds of hotdogs at the Sando? Is that still true?!

Good jobs
It appears I have the 26th best job in America, according to CNN. The Snook’s current role is #37, but he’s also been #1 many times over the last 10 years. The weird thing is that neither of us actually got degrees in our current fields. (I did Communications; the Snook did Chemistry.) For the most part we just stumbled into our roles because we find them interesting and they play to our strengths. We’re very lucky.

Smell Like a Monster
“Anything is possible when you smell like a monster!” I love Grover.

SUCK IT, GERMAINE.
“People who care about biodiversity don’t keep cats,” says Germaine Greer. OH SUCK IT, GERMAINE. What utter trolling. I am Australian. I have cats. I care about biodiversity. My cats don’t go outside and they don’t reproduce. Problem friggin’ solved.
There was a stray – with a collar – who spent several months visiting our garden and scaring away the birds and the skinks. We couldn’t catch him, so we called the rangers on him and they took him away. The skinks and the birds are back. SEE HOW IT WORKS?
