The 15 in 2015

  New Years, how dare you be looming upon us once again?! It seems like only yesterday I was ringing in 2014 and only a short time before that I was cowering under a table welcoming in the year 2000. I remember it so well, with all it’s doom  and gloom lurking in the shadows; as the fireworks crackled, the world was anxiously awaiting Armageddon in the form of...

27 in 27: The “done” list

  In honour of my impending 27th birthday I came up with this idea to help “celebrate”. I know 27 isn’t really a big deal, not like 18,21 or 30, but never the less it is a reminder that I am getting older (wiser? smarter? prettier? more fun?) and instead of being a bad thing, it should more positive! In order to do so, I’ve created this list of 27 things I have done...

Damn you Dichotomy of Gender

  A couple of weeks ago, a catalogue was distributed around the nation in which I live regarding a massive toy sale that occurs every year. Basically, this catalogue gets release around the middle of the year/end of financial year and parents go crazy stock piling toys for Christmas. I for one love junk mail like this; I love flicking through the pages and seeing...

Book Review: The Overnight Socialite

First of all, I have to apologise if any formatting issues occur with the publication of this blog post. My laptop kicked the bucket and so I’m using a very old, very glitchy, laptop that has many quirks; including, it appears, a very outdated version of windows live writer. This week I read The Overnight Socialite by Bridie Clark. The Blurb on The Back: In this beguiling...

To-Do List: Books

So apparently I’m back in the business of reading books. For a while there I didn’t want to pick up a book, I didn’t want to look at a book, I pretty much didn’t want to hear the word “book” being used. For some reason, every time I picked up a book and started reading the very first line, I would involuntarily start yawning and occasionally make audible noises similar to...

#100DaysHappy

Since finishing up with University last year, life has been somewhat up and down; more down than up really. With finishing up with studying it was time to find a job and after a month passed and then another month passed life just sort of got worse and worse. There’s only so many rejection e-mails a person can handle before it really starts to get them down. On top of all...

Organisation Dilemmas

Over the weekend, the guy and I decided to rearrange the lounge room in anticipation for when we do a bit of home renovations and throw up a new wall to divide some of the space we have. With that rearrangement came the prospect of new bookshelves as well as having to take everything off the pre-existing shelving units, move the units, and then put everything back on the units....

100 things I like

I may have forgotten to blog this week, I know I have to write a review on a book I just finished reading and I will get around to that at some point! But seeing as though I’m trying to do at least one blog post a week, I figured I’d throw together this list of 100 things I like. In hindsight, it probably would have been a lot faster to write the book review; this list got...
