You know that feeling you get when you just can’t take a full breath? Yeah, I’ve had that for about three months now. I keep thinking that it’ll go away, but every morning…the same. And people in my family are terrible about going to the doctor, like it’s a competition to see who can go …
Is it just me or did the cold really sneak up on us this year? I mean, I’m sure there must have been a gradual build up, but it feels like I woke up this morning to randomly find that it’s midwinter. I mean, the moon was still up when I left for work, and …
I first picked up on the story about cricket nets and tennis nets disappearing from rural sporting communities a few weeks ago,on social media. A friend from rural Victoria tagged me in a post about their sports netting disappearing overnight, and a whole bunch of kids had limited facilities to rely on until it could …
Step one: find a car mechanic who’s willing to take us on. We’re going to need an excellent car mechanic. Preston has some of the best so we’ll start the search there. Otherwise the tow truck costs are going to be immense. That’s just what you get yourself in for when you try to start Melbourne’s …
Oh, I just LOVE me some natural insect products. At first I was all like ‘ew, no’, and then I learned that kombucha tea is made in an…interesting way, with fungus and all that nasty slimy stuff. After that, I’ve basically come to accept that anything can be good, regardless of how it was made. …
The coolest thing about my new place is that the landlord has agreed to me putting up my own wall mural. I found an amazing company that can print custom designer wallpaper. You are the most perfect creative beast. Since getting hold of this company, I’ve been able to recapture a piece of my Dad’s …
Needless to say, our family isn’t too thrilled about outsourcing. The one time we tried it was when I was a bit younger, and Pa trialled a few guys to wash the pigs. I don’t actually remember them doing a good job, but they weren’t up to Pa’s impossible standards, so…out the door they went, …
There’s only one newspaper still worth buying, and that’s the Trumpeting Moon. And even then, I mostly just buy it for that one puzzle page where they have the interesting thought experiment of the day. The rest of the newspaper has dissolved into pointless human-interest trash, and the comics are just awful, but I don’t …
I’d pretty much given up on my workplace. It was drab, no one talked to anyone else and there was a really odd smell on the stairwell that no one ever looked into despite multiple requests to both management and janitorial services. I’m not convinced that management ever really cared about us, and I’m also …
Will we have trees on the moon on day? It’s safe to say that the answer is absolutely yes. Terraforming is currently making leaps and bounds, and also skips and jumps, albeit with some coughs and splutters. Just yesterday I conducted my latest terraforming experiment in my small greenhouse, and I ended up creating an …
