Sometimes the World is Just Waiting for You to Notice
I just had an ‘Oh‘ moment. You know what they are. That second when you suddenly put two and two together and reach such a blindly obvious four you wonder how you could possibly not have noticed it before. There’s a storyline I’ve been playing around with in the back of my mind for a […]
This is How Books Happen
07/11/2011
So this. Which claims some high schoolers like to soak gummi bears in vodka in order to get drunk in class. I’m not entirely sure how this appeared on my radar. Perhaps someone just wanted to share the weird. Perhaps someone thought bears + alcohol = kandace. Which… okay. But… Me: That’s crazy. I mean, […]
I Have Tasted the Lemon Pudding of Victory
03/11/2011
There is a particular entrance to Royal Perth Hospital that is ridiculously difficult to drive to from where I live. Monday marked the third time I attempted this feat. The first time I had a lot of fun with one way streets. The second time I found out that in addition to an unnecessarily large […]
The Second Time I Was Taller
02/11/2011
The second time I studied Shakespeare I was taller. And slightly more conscious. I was an undergrad and it was Shakespeare: Text and Film which meant we got to read the plays and watch the movies for credit. (I actually spent quite a bit of my undergrad career taking classes that allowed the watching of […]
Time Flies Like an Arrow, Fruit Flies Like a Banana. — Groucho Marx.
01/11/2011
So time and I are having a fight apparently. Taking some space. Trial separation. It’s the only explanation. In the last week (at least, I’m assuming it was a week, who knows at this point?) I have gradually lost the ability to recognise time at all. I lose track of what day it is (okay, […]
The First Time
31/10/2011
This is an answer in two parts. Except I might not tell you the second part. Unless you want me to. Or, you know, I’m bored later. I’ve actually studied Shakespeare a couple of times. Well, I say ‘studied’. I spent eighteen months of high school barely conscious and I only have two clear recollections […]
If Thou Speak’st False, Upon the Next Tree Shalt Thou Hang Alive
28/10/2011
I have issues with Shakespeare. I just wanted to say that. Sometimes people get upset with me when I criticise him, so I thought I’d say that up front in case you want to, I don’t know, plan an intervention or something. Honestly, I really do like his work. Okay, I love his words. I […]
This Can Only End One Way: Horrible Serial Murder
27/10/2011
A couple of people have asked me where I draw the line between what I write for the world and what you only get if you knock on my door.* The answer is: not a lot of places? I mean, I’ve written a few posts that are essentially, ‘I am an idiot six different ways’, […]
Moves Like Jagger
26/10/2011
So… I was sick last week, and I didn’t really work because it was hard to concentrate. But I made notes. Little… bits of things that I jotted down on the sticky notes on my desktop to figure out later. So on Monday, illness behind me, I went about organising said notes. And there were […]
