Compromise.
Posted in: General
Marriage takes compromise. I decided we should get a dog, Mina decided we should get a dog & Jules decided we should get a dog. Jason said we shouldn’t and that we better not come home with a puppy because we were going out to dinner. So I bought a puppy and I pick it up tomorrow. Marriage takes compromise, like I said.

A douche and a turd sandwich.

Tonight’s leadership debate has further proven the contempt that both major parties seem to have for the Australian people. They focused on vilifying refugees – the most vulnerable people in the WHOLE WORLD – and chose to ignore issues like health, aged care, aboriginal essential services (which are embarrassing), youth, education… the list goes on. In other words, they focused on 0.01% of people who DON’T VOTE at the expense of everything else. Shame. I am embarrassed that these two people are the top of the pile of our elected representatives. What’s worse is that I know this isn’t true Read More >>

The Big D.
Posted in: Health, Introspectives
I am going to a charity ball on Friday night for Lifeline. It’s the inaugural Black Diamond Ball and it is going to be great fun. But I wanted to take a moment and just acknowledge my amazing community of Twitter friends, a lot of whom are going to the ball, but who have also courageously shared their stories about their struggles with depression in the last few weeks. I want to particularly single out my friend Seb, who has set up this brilliant blog where he pours his heart out. Tell me you aren’t instantly smitten with this man. Read More >>

I want to talk about something that has been bothering me for a while, and that is so-called “Social Media Experts”. It’s getting worse, people. Legitimate web businesses, and real internet consultants, are up against one of the biggest scams there is: self-proclaimed “Social Media Experts” who blind people with technobabble in order to sell what is basically a free service combined with common sense. It started with Black Hat SEO (till Google penalised them), continues with the re-badging of Open Source software, and extends into the opportunistic field of self-proclaimed “Social Media Expertise”. There is a sub-class of salesman, Read More >>

I had a bit of a realisation today. I have a bit of an attitude problem. Not in the way that you’d think, but just… I just have this tendency to write people off too quickly if I think they are wasting my time or energy. Classic example was listening to lectures from last semester: I could not bear listening to second year University students discussing their very… elementary… ideas on the policy cycle. I literally had to turn it off because I found myself heckling the audio stream and Jason was pretty close to having the human catchers come Read More >>

In defence of knob gags.
Posted in: Funny stuff, General, the googletubes
This morning, I woke up to a fun meme on Twitter. The #changelovetoknobsongs hashtag. For those that are unfamiliar with how these things take off, it generally means everyone gets on board, tries to have some fun with it, and after a little while, we all move on and everything goes back to normal. 95% of the posts are crap, but there is a portion that will have you laughing so hard, it is worth it. When Julia Gillard ousted Kevin Rudd as Prime Minister, #spill was born. #ausvotes2010 has emerged as the hashtag for the Australian Federal Election. It Read More >>

Shiny.
Posted in: General, Health, Introspectives
I have been meaning to write a blog post about this for ages, but with the craziness of the last few months, I haven’t had a chance to write it. I was already going to ages ago, but some recent discussions with friends have made me feel like I need to say something. It’s actually really embarrassing. And it shouldn’t be. I can talk openly about so many things. My depression and how Cymbalta has changed my life. My health and weight gain and thyroid/hormone problems and pour my heart out… and yet, because of ridiculous, baseless stigma, I am Read More >>

Planning.
Posted in: General, Motherhood Rules!
Mina: ” X Friend goes to basketball on Mondays, Girl Guides on Tuesdays, Netball on Wednesdays, dancing on Thursdays and gymnastics on Saturdays. Oh, and touch football on Saturdays” Me: “Fark, when does the poor girl just get to be a kid?” Mina: “On Tuesdays, before Girl Guides.” Me: “…”
