Bubble.
HOLY CRAP. I was just sitting at the dining room table and heard an auctioneer’s voice floating in from the street. Turns out one of the apartments across the street from us was for sale. I heard him call $840,000 as I went outside. My jaw dropped. In 2 minutes it was up over a million. Ended up going for $1,099,000! Another lady on the street was pumping her fist. “Was it your place?” I said, incredulous. “No! But I own a house in this neighbourhood!” Me: “ME TOO!” High fives all around.
(Yes, yes. The inner Sydney housing bubble is ridiculous. Totally agree. But hey, that random lady and I had a fun couple of minutes thinking about being paper millionaires.)

No Oscar Contest this year
Apologies for not confirming it sooner, but as a few of you have speculated via email and tweets, I’m not doing the Oscar Contest this year. I planned on it, and I even bought some socks back in December earmarked for it. But I just wasn’t feeling inspired, you know? There weren’t many movies this year that I thought lent themselves to sock monkey interpretation. So I settled on a rather obvious choice that involved multiple-sized monkeys and a sock monkey dragon (I’m sure you can guess), but damn, that just felt like a LOT of work for something that wasn’t even up for many awards. And then as I got back to work in January, my job ramped up something fierce. I ended up being offered a big promotion, which is nice, but the upshot is that I’ve been working really hard for a lot of hours since the Christmas Break. And instead of half-assing something, I decided to just call it off this year. Sorry for the disappointment! Hopefully a year off will recharge the creative batteries and I’ll be back in 2015.
