What’s that thing where someone tries to get you to doubt your mental capacity? Is it possible for a TV series to do this to you? I guess it’s more difficult, but at the same time, a lot of people just believe what they see on TV and don’t ever question it so maybe it’s […]
Impressing Sergeant
When I signed up for a defensive driving course, I didn’t know I’d have to be using my own car. Kinda thought there would be one waiting for me, a car equipped with adequate defences and protection against impact. That kind of thing, you know. But I guess this is what I get for choosing […]
Kitchens, Great Places for Romance
Everyone in a romantic novel always has some kind of dream job. Or, like…the protagonists always do. The thing is, it needs to be the RIGHT job. If I ‘m going to give my protagonist a job, then it needs to be something that moves the plot along. So many people give their protagonists jobs […]
Cars, the Prime Transport
We had quite the lively discussion at the Futurist Club the other day, and I think we concluded that it’s best for humanity if cars stay the way they are. Well, actually…not *exactly* the way they are. So long as they become 100% environmentally-friendly, running on renewable fuel and maybe intelligent enough to drive by […]
She Won’t Be Right Any More…
“She’ll be right, mate.” I don’t think she will, actually. I want to say the old bomb will keep going, and I shouldn’t have any worries, but that doesn’t look like it’s happening. Too many years, too much stuff carried. It’s time the old Corolla was laid to rest. We had a good run, though. […]
Walls, Rocks, Normal Things
There was a very interesting feature in ‘Garden Proud Quarterly’ about building a garden wall. Never built a garden wall before. A few years ago, I almost planted some petunias, but otherwise, it’s been a whole lot of nothing out there. I think about it every time I go to work in my office job, […]
Welcome to the House of Fun…
A new week, new challenges, and whaddya know? I’m bein’ let down, again! I thought I could trust Charleine with sorting out the building documents, but Charleine is a lazy bum and she shited the job onto Lorline and Gelatine, two bigger airheads than her. But the worst thing is that Charleine has been here […]
Furnishings for the Big Expo
Good grief, sometimes it feels like this golfing expo is never going to arrive. We’ve been planning it for…gosh, it can’t be more than a year, or the expo would’ve been over and done with. Feels like years though. Not that I mind having something to do, mind you. Ever since Harold went off to […]
Learning from the Common Folk
It wasn’t what I was expecting from the event, but I enjoyed myself immensely all the same. Australia has very few old, rich families, but I’m proudly one of them. We made our living in the 1800s, building ships that would transport the rabble back and forth across the great oceans. My greatest regret is […]
The Sultry Sound of Needles
I didn’t exactly choose the easiest career, but I feel like it’s one of the most rewarding in the end. Every single day brings new challenges as a custom scenario music producer, but the reward is in the finished product. It’s why I learned to play 27 instruments in the first place: there is never […]
