  You know how you sometimes open Netflix, or any other streaming service of your choice, and just stare at the landing page for 20 minutes straight not exactly knowing what to watch? Its even weirder when the “recommended for you” list pops up and the movies and shows it recommends are so up your alley and are definitely shows you really actually want to watch. And then you don’t. Instead, you reload Archer and watch it again, right from the beginning, for the 5 th time in the past month. And I don’t even care that the show hasn’t aged all that well (I mean, what has?).   I still love it. Science attributes it to a combination of procrastination, sensory overload and a big fat heaping of nostalgia.   I can certainly agree with that.   Aside from the nostalgia comfort blanket that repeat watches offers, you also end up absorbing more details and features on repeat watches which, if anyone knows me and my particular aesthetics; is my absolute visual jam. ...

Ok man, what is happening. Its April!   I am trying the blogger app. Its a bit weird and I have no idea if the pictures are showing properly.    Are they?   I have no idea, I'm back on a browser now so hopefully this post will look a little more coherent than what I can see on my phone.   Yes - April - goddamnit where is all the time going?   Also - let's not panic...   So I am becoming exceedingly lazy of late.  My weekends are full of events that while I may look like I am turning into a social butterfly, remember that appearances are deceiving and really, I am turning into a social slug.  I get there, I end up just lying about, and leaving a mess.   I also went diving - and I really would have loved to share my photos of the lovely underwater world I encountered in Manly but my camera failed me.  But, I did go paddle boarding too - I was slow, I was wobbly and I forgot my sun-cream and I fe...

Goddamnit! It's almost the end of the year.  How the hell did this happen? Its been an interesting month. Work still goes, and I'm still adjusting.  It's been a slog actually, I feel my metaphorical calves chafing from all that metaphorical uphill climbing. On the plus side, dem metaphorical glutes.  On the minus - dem glutes aren't real.  It almost December - which means Christmas, which means I'm going to be eating so much and oh my god decorations and presents and the new year holy shit, wait... I had plans! what happen! In fact, I have recently been encouraged to write my short stories and such and start looking for ways to publish.  If anyone has any resources or sharing ideas, please hand them over!  I'm not expecting something lucrative, but I want to write to get better, get critique and collaborate with others.  That way I don't write in a vacuum of writer's hipsterness. I feel like I have procrastinated a lot, even though I ...

What happened? It’s like, a day before August!!! I had a whole entry written up for June! And then, Supanova happened, and I didn’t even post for that!!! Ok, I’ll start with an excuse. I GOT A NEW JOB!!!! Work success! Yep, its been utterly insane, June was a whirlwind of emotion and business with all sorts and diving and computers breaking (again). I can't even get to this level of fail on my PC because its completely borked... My new job is finally a step in the direction I want my career to head to.   I now work in a children’s charity that assists children in foster caring programs.   Its utterly brain blowing and I have hit the ground running with this job.   I have learnt so much and it has been so intense from the get go.   HOMG I am loving it. Anyway, I’ll talk about my monthly goings on next time because now, I shall share with you the adventure of my life that is the yearly ritual of attending SUPANOVA; gigantor nerd convention of ...
