the end was just the beginning
Enough is enough. I can't handle it any more. It's been two weeks and four days since I got sick with some flu-like thing and I'm still not feeling right. I. Am. So. Over. It. I wept in the shower yesterday in sheer frustration. So my goal for next week is to get some medical... Continue Reading →
It's tough times in print media and I bet the editor of Zoo magazine thought he was on a winner with this Anzac Day commemorative issue ... I can imagine his glee as he signed off on the issue: hot chick on the cover wearing a bikini, brandishing red poppy and giving a provocative interview... Continue Reading →
It's kinda ironic that my home town of Sydney spent Earth Day 2015 this week being battered by the elements. The Earth really wanted to make its displeasure know about how we're mistreating it! My little house survived the storms pretty well, a leak in the verandah flashing, a sagging tree in the backyard, but... Continue Reading →
It's a bit weird to be going to your first dance party on the totally wrong side of 40. I never had the slightest inclination to go to one in my youth. They involved stay up too late and there were too many drugs. Ewwwww. Yep, I was born a granny. But I've heard about... Continue Reading →
I had one of those what the hell will I blog? moments this morning and started trawling through my April back catalogue for inspiration ... It didn't make pretty reading. April 2014 was a bitter affair due to the freshness of my marriage separation. April 2013 is retrospectively coloured by knowing why travelling to the... Continue Reading →
I had a little tanty during a drink with a friend last night. I ranted that I was sick of being "good" and "doing the right thing" when so many other people get away with blue murder ... without any consequences. Whenever I tentatively dip my toe in the blue-murder waters I either panic and... Continue Reading →
There's something about being sick for 10 days that starts to get to down. The first couple of days are a bit Bugger, I feel like crap philosophical. Then you wake up on day 10, groan and think Seriously? How can I still be coughing? Sigh. So I can't say I've been a joy. But... Continue Reading →
I've done some crazy stuff in my time: dined with Kylie Minogue, nattered to a naked Alyssa Milano (oh, AND a kit-less Hugh Jackman), been hit on (kind of) by Portia De Rossi, straddled a dyke's bike in Mardi Gras, judged the Miss Nude Australia contest, spent an hour being screamed at by Anthony LaPaglia ... And... Continue Reading →
There's a new Dove ad that's gone viral. Have you seen it? It gives women two doors to walk through - one with a sign above it saying "average", the other with one that says "beautiful." Here it is ... It's supposed to send a powerful message about how women perceive themselves, but I'm not... Continue Reading →
Nothing quite brings the loneliness of a broken marriage into sharp relief like getting sick. I've been crook for the past six days in a variety of locations - work, my parents' house, restaurants, bars, cafes - and in the company of a variety of people - friends, family, in-laws, the kids ... It felt... Continue Reading →
