Oh my god – would you look at that – I'M NOT DEAD!!!! Its like a Christmas Miracle. Yeah… well… I technically was. I actually got off my ass and did something!! And I have done many things in the past few months. One – I have finished my masters! I AM A MASTER ….i am a master…. master, master, master…. Yes, I have finished my masters studies – and now that its done, I will never make any intellectual propositions ever again.   I shall cease to cogitate at higher levels from now on. All I will think about from now on are kittens and Turians.   (And shoes) - And Christmas!!!! Seriously, these studies have sucked the everliving crapping life out of me.   I feel so tired and so, so drained and oddly, slightly lost.   I feel like there should be something I should be stressing about, but I no longer have any assignments or exams to stress out over. Its weird, I have yet to make up my mind as to whether this may lead me to darker paths – like...

OK – so I had a long post for November with jokes and happy things and tidings but I was lazy and forgot to post it and now its December and things happened. Also - before I get morose I want y'all to know that there is an awesome local podcast by Melbourne fella Miles about film, film reviews and movies and movie related stuff (I may or may not contribute to it *winkwinknudgenudge*) at www.mustlovefilm.com - its super informative, simple, clean, and real cool, listen to it folks!!! you'll learn heaps, I know I did. As you know, I normally don’t do serious pieces, even my pope piece was a lame attempt at angry people humour that frankly, prompted a Christina blogger to attempt to get me to follow his blog in the hopes of, I don’t know, softening me? He failed in garnering my interest because there were no pictures of unicorns and dragons, I mean, come on. But last week and important, probably the most important human being in our generation passed away and I kind of w...

Hallo! I hath returned! with tidings and...stuff. I was meant to post this last week but considering that I was sick, exhausted and dealing with End of Financial Year at work, I haven't really had any time to type anything other than a text message (badly). So, if anyone remembers from last year's post, Supanova is Sydney's biggest Nerdy Con of the year, it is actually a nationwide tour starting in Brisbane, then Melbourne, Perth, Adelaide, Sydney and then even gets itself to New Zealand (maybe not in that order).   Sydney's one always happens roughly mid-year. This year I decided to be a vendor, seeing as I detest selling at Animania and figured I might have a better market to blow out on. I also said this would be my last year as a vendor, I said that last year too… and the year before that… um… Yeah. About that. Ok, so let me explain things first. People are evil.   Really, really, really evil.   And cruel too! they enjoy seeing me slog on throu...

So my adventures in America-land have been AMAZING! We arrived in LAX completely destroyed from sleeping in prehistoric United Airlines and immediately checked into a hotel in Beverly Hills for the night. We arrived at around 8am on a Friday morning and we didn't want my Aunt to take time off work to pick us up so we stayed a night in comfy disinfected bedsheets and slept ourselves into an American cable TV coma. Also, we raged about immigration procedures at the airport.  It took THREE FUCKING HOURS! There were about 600 people waiting in line in both US passport and non-US-passport lines and, there were 4 staff processing us all.... FOUR.  Thankfully we got a relatively shipper and cute guy so I partially forgive you America, but only just. I woke up the next day marvelling at how cheap the coffee at starbucks was… $2.70 for a medium Chai!!!!!!!! this would have cost me double in Sydney. We spent time with the family of my Aunt and the family of her bro...
