I’m trying very hard not to gag at this!

I usually don’t give a toss about our “adorable Hollywood lovelies” and all their questionable tactics. And often get really irritated when constantly bombarded with those so-called “news” on commercial TV and “respectable” newspapers. Especially when a story like this is shoved right against my eardrums and makes it extremely difficult for me not to [...]

Domestic Goddess

You could never guess who magically did FOUR FULL LOADS OF WASHING yesterday! Plus folding up and putting away another two loads, in between vacuum cleaning the whole place, grocery shopping, and cooking REAL food. Some WONDER WOMAN accidentally dropped on Earth from Ganymede – the 7th moon of Jupiter, that’s who!
In the lingering spirit [...]

Chucking a sickie

I couldn’t lift my head off the pillow nor pick my butt off the mattress this morning, despite trying to exert about the same amount of energy into those tiny movements as required for running a marathon or climbing the Everest. (Okay so I may be clueless about how much energy is really needed for [...]

Battery level warning: 0.01% and dwindling!

I’ve been so flat-out busy lately it’s not funny! And I never really know why, but whenever I say that line it never comes out sounding all cool and important and sophisticated like when other people say it. You know, like “I’m so busy lately it’s impossible to find any time to go scuba-diving [...]

So you can talk the talk

But can you walk the walk?
That’s the question I keep asking people, (and myself, especially since MCF was gone), secretly in my head, every time I hear them gush about helping a charity. I don’t mean to be cynical, everyone’s got their own preference when it comes to helping people less fortunate than themselves, within [...]

“The language is leaving me in silence.”

In case you’re wondering, nope, I haven’t dropped off the face of the earth. Yet. As much as I’d love to. Imagine that. One minute you’re stuck in this swamp of a troposphere, stressed, burdened, oppressed. Next thing you know you’re floating off in the air, light-hearted, weightless, free. Keep picturing it and now you’re [...]

Kinda puts you off eating eggs.

Now this is some REAL news, unlike that belly button lint discovery:
A fully formed lizard found encased inside a chicken egg.

He said the gecko could have crawled into the chicken to feast on an embryo – and got stuck.
Didn’t you go eeewwwww at that? Dumbstruck? I bet. It must have been the weirdest thing we’ve [...]

All in the name of research.

I saw this in the “It’s True!” section on mX newspaper yesterday:
A systematic survey done by Dr. Karl Kruszelnicki, of the University of Sydney, has found that belly button fluff consists mainly of clothing fibres and dead skin-cells.
Holy Macaroni!!! What an earthshaking, jawdropping, eyepopping news! No wonder he was awarded a much-deserved Ig Nobel Prize [...]

All this poking is starting to get very poky.

Recently I got into a poking frenzy on Facebook, as you do. Because I got bored, but am too lazy for wall-writing / Fluff-feeding / Graffiti-drawing. Midway through my 5th poke at a friend I haven’t seen for a long time, a thought suddenly occurred to me. What is The Poking Etiquette? Am I showing [...]

The luxury of retrospect

I love “light-bulb moments”. Not just the usual creative ones, but also the emotional ones that suddenly make sense, or at least some of it, of the past. Like a bolt out of the blue, realisation hits home and the puzzle pieces find their spots. “So that’s what it was”, I sigh. Relieved? Or troubled?
Not [...]
