• An open letter to the organisers of Webstock

  Dear people who made Webstock happen: I think I love you. Can it please be Webstock every day? Even if we would all die from over-knowledging, over-caffinating and over-drinking? I got home today sometime after 5pm. It’s been a hell of a week. I will update more when I have napped. The Innovation Workshop Day […]

• On being a good (busy) woman

  Once again, I have been unfathomably busy. I know I start every journal entry like this lately, but hey, you get what you pay for, right? When I left you last, I’d just been to Bar Camp, which was an unconference. Accordingly, I went to a conference on Wednesday at the Stadium. The catering was […]

• A spring clean for the September Queen

  Lots and lots of stuff is going on right now. First and most important to you is that I will be selling my stuff at Zinefest. You should come along, say hi and buy my zines and sugar scrub. And yes, in case you’re wondering, if I slept with you prior to 2007, you will […]

• Blended like the puke in my shower this morning

  1. Some photos that the lovely Miss Fur took on my request. My sexy new filing cabinet, all painted up and installed in my room and full of bed linen My sexy new Sharondalier. Sort of. (oh okay, she hasn’t uploaded them yet, but when she does, I will edit this) 2. I went to […]

• Stone the flamin’ crows!

  I have been as busy as a mongoose lately. A mongoose! And consequently, there is not a part of my body that doesn’t ache. Except for maybe my right ear. But that’s it. After work on Tuesday, Karen and I went to jump into the ocean by the lagoon. Something went wrong with the way […]

• Dimmer at San Frindigo, 13 October 2006

  Tonight, I had sex with Shayne Carter. Before you call the Sunday Truth (or actually, probably the Sunday Star Times is more tabloidy these days) though, you should know that I wasn’t the only one. There were probably about three hundred other people who did it too. None of them had as good an orgasm […]

• In the summer in the city

  On Thursday night I had my first summer ale and then yesterday I had my first swim of the summer. Around 1am. At Oriental Parade. In my panties. With my now ex workmates and Bart. It was awesome, and not very warm. Luckily the booze in me kept me warm. Today, consequently, has been rather […]

• Jordan Knight and I

  At the Phoenix Foundation gig on Friday night, after I’d yawned my way through Cassette and found myself waiting for Magni to come on stage (yes, I’m obsessed), there were a lot of people talking. So much so, during the quiet under the ocean song, that I actually turned around to the British wanker behind […]

• The first rule of Fight Club

  Don’t worry, I’m not about to go all Heather on you, although I feel it is only fair to warn you that generally these days her proposed solution to all my problems is “want me to kick their ass for you?” No, instead I’m going to talk about that whole thing when you know what […]

• Blame Canada

  My daily dialogue – both aloud and in my head – is currently peppered with the phrase “suck a fuck, you ass hat”. It’s great. It makes everything seem better when you can call the people who wrong you (rightly or wrongly) an ass hat. You’re sitting in my favourite seat on the bus? Suck […]
