Irony, courtesy of a small cat

Queen Bee — Fri, 10 Oct 2008 06:41:58 +0000

I’ve been asking a lot of people recently if they know the definition of irony. Mainly due to an episode of Futurama, where Bender continuously reclassifies people’s “irony” comments as coincidence, happenstance, and a few other words I’ve forgotten. I even looked it up in the dictionary, but the definition was too hard [...]

Hard Rubbish, aka nothing is ever as easy as you think

Queen Bee — Tue, 30 Sep 2008 02:33:01 +0000

Our council no longer does their twice yearly hard rubbish collection, much to the disgust of many who loved to peruse the piles of trash and find the treasure within. Mr Dog is especially sad, having spent hours sniffing, nuzzling and of course, marking the cast offs as we walked the streets in the [...]

Gratis

I love free stuff - and who doesn’t? Over the last couple of years I’ve noticed a fabulous trend of value adding, which means a lot of my favorite magazines come with free mascara, lip gloss and every other variation of makeup, bags, necklaces … the list goes on forever. The problem I [...]

Musicals

Miss M and I have just come back from seeing Mamma Mia, courtesy of one of my gorgeous clients (thanks Clive!). It was a very sweet film, with just the right amount of emotion, laughs, and Stellen Skarsgaad, who I suddenly have a bit of a thing for. My favorite thing about it [...]

Obsessive

Queen Bee — Fri, 08 Aug 2008 09:46:59 +0000

Recently I came to the conclusion my life is a series of obsessions. The conduit to this conclusion was, ironically enough, my current obsession - online mahjong. Happily, I can place the blame elsewhere, squarely at the feet of my Bike Boy, who recently got a new computer, which had a mahjong game [...]

One of my favorite things

This is a bit of a Clayton’s post, but hey, it’s been a while, and a girl’s got to find her way back slowly okay? Today as I was coming home from massage school on the tram, my mind was wandering, which is fairly common. Don’t ask me why, but I started thinking about my [...]

Bangs

After eighteen solid months of growing my hair, I’d finally had enough of all of it being the same length, and veering between the two mandatory styles for a 5am riser - pulled back (my favorite, especially on mornings when my hair seems to have a mind of it’s own) or a crazed mane unable [...]

Difficult

Queen Bee — Wed, 27 Feb 2008 05:47:24 +0000

Over the past couple of days, I’ve learned a huge life lesson, one that may explain why many of my, and other people’s relationships have failed, and may fail yet again. Gather closely friends, as I reveal my terrifying secret … communicating is hard! Like most people, I have many skills. Previously, I would’ve [...]

Study

On Friday, I picked up a giant package from the post office, containing materials for the diploma of massage course I’ve enrolled in. Upon opening said package, I felt a steady and definite sense of nausea creeping from my stomach up to my throat - nausea representing one of my least favorite things … [...]

Instant Gratification

Two posts in one day - a precedent I can barely believe I’ve revisited! The point of this one is to display the photographs below, of Miss M and her shiny new BMX. We spent nearly two hours choosing, and she wouldn’t be swayed by the pink and black one I was keen on. Now I [...]
