What's that smell?

Hot water broken
Showering becomes a chore
Hygiene may suffer

Serendipitous poetry from the New York Times

from an article about "disgraced former congressman" Weiner

from an interview with Isabel Allende, author and rapid pooper

 

 

from a book review

Love this haiku bot.
Saves time reading paper, such
relevant stories.

I'm a little queasy right now

Uneasy feeling
Finding worms after eating
Half of your mango

Houseguest

Sticky hair dryer
Hope it was not mistaken
For an adult toy

Another heat wave. Yawn.

Flocks of sheep shelter
Under huge Xanthorrhoea
In their woollen coats

Procrastination

Retrosternal squeeze
Dry eyes, dry mouth, dry humour
Lesson never learnt

Blue Album concert review

Weezer I love you.
Allowing me to relive
the sweet hope of youth

It will be 2013 in 5 hours!

Sweltering, sweating,
swanning about sans sweaters,
swallowing, swilling.

PS if you'd like to comment on my 13 "ethical" resolutions for 2013, they're on my other blog.

Joined the library,
bought contacts, slept, washed my hair,
survived the heatwave,

Changed the bedsheets,
found missing remote control,
changed some batteries.

Tinnitus is very annoying, especially when paired with vertigo

It is Christmas Eve
I can hear bells a-ringing
No, it's tinnitus

I love my job (aka Can You Smell the Difference?)

Dead animal smell
or urine-permeated soft
furnishings smell?

Two minutes to freedom (and cleanliness)

The time always crawls
Whenever I am on-call
Wanting to shower

Summer storms

Foreboding grey sheet,
oppressive air, promising
a sudden downpour.

Boom Boom

I saw this excellent 1980s dance-off on rage the other night (Grinspoon were guest programmers).



Unfortunately, the resolution in this video does not do the 80s threads justice.

No thanks

Like + Love + Enjoy = ADORE

Three things I like: Aussie band Van She, the blog Advanced Style, and the wisdom of older persons*. Put them together and you get the awesomeness that is this video of the Idiosyncratic Fashionistas answering the question "What's your idea of Happiness?" I would advise that you watch it - some of their advice is priceless, all wrapped up in ear and eye candy.




*You're not allowed to say "elderly" any more. I learned about it in geriatrics training.

tell me what you think

started a new blog
it probably makes me sound
like a spoilt wanker

First impressions of Hedland

Abundant red dirt
Ridiculous pile of salt
Pleasantly hot heat
