I just got back from a flying visit to my home town. Not the one I was born in, the one I grew up in. I arrived around 5pm yesterday and left at around 1pm today, so it was pretty quick. I was there for a function: it was the 40th birthday bash of one [...]
Someone asked if I’d be offended if I were called a bogan. It’s hard to say yes without sounding arrogant or elite, or at least something resembling classist. But here’s a list. Call me what you will. I don’t like football I don’t drink iced coffee (that’s important in South Australia) I don’t drive with [...]
So this morning, I was about to hop in the shower, and so, y’know, I was undressing (control yourselves, ladies). I slipped off my tshirt and put it down, then I pulled down the briefs and let them fall to my feet. Now, you know that trick you do, where you take one foot out [...]
Can’t believe I’ve had this blog for howevermanythefuck years and I never invented a health category. Anyway, the wisdom tooth is gone but the reminder of its departure still weighs heavy and the very real pain lingers, as though the tooth were a loved one that had been traumatically ripped out of my life. I’m [...]
Well, the world of post wisdom-tooth extraction is both a painful and not so pleasurable one. The procedure wasn’t nearly as scary as I thought it might be. And it was actually over quite quickly. Not the hour of carving up the tooth and removing it bit by bit I had somehow been led to [...]
I’m having a wisdom tooth extracted this afternoon. A man (possibly two) is (possibly are) going to jack open my mouth and take to part of it with sharp rotating cutty things that will penetrate and cut up some of the really hard and well-stuck-in bits, which he (possibly they) will then extract with shiny [...]
It’s raining today. I like the rain. Mostly. The good things about rain are that it’s refreshing. Especially in summer. It cools things off, particularly my things, which is good because I hate that in mid-summer I’m obliged by societal convention to wear pants and a long-sleeved shirt, when I’d probably do a much better [...]

They’re everywhere and they’ll always find something they don’t like. And if the thing they don’t like gets better, then they’ll complain about the fact that it’s not what it used to be. Case in point: I work for a government institution. Everyone that works here has either a government email address or an institution [...]
