Holaaa. How are we all? First I just want to say sorry if I was weird on twitter/in general yesterday (Tuesday), because it was a very weird day. This will be further explained in the "about me" post I'm going to do in a sec, but I have anxiety, and anxiety is as anxiety does. Yesterday as some of you know I got a job offer - an online job ( Read more... )

The death of Michael Jackson just breaks my heart. The man never had a single moment of peace in his whole life, so I hope wherever he is he's resting it now. I'm not going to bust out my MJ hits CD in tribute until tomorrow because I'm just so sad about it all right now, not to mention amazed by the complete disrespect some people are displaying.

Hello guys. So is anyone else really sick of swine flu already?! I know right, wonderfully positive way to start an entry, but seriously. ( I went into the city today... )

Hello dearies! So it's Friday. I hope everyone's weeks were alright. The highlight of mine was finding a good Mother's Day present for my mum, part of which I am giving to her on Sunday and the other we are doing on Monday because it's an event, and I'm not telling you what it is in case she stalks me on here. HEY MUM WHY ARE YOU HERE YOU DON'T ( Read more... )

Just quickly: current figures are 131 people dead in the fires, which is expected to rise to over 200. Fires are still burning in the north east (Beechworth) near the NSW border and in Churchhill near my dad. He got into work okay today, but he had to drive past miles and miles of burnt farmland and bushland with downed powerlines, trees etc. Some ( Read more... )

Hey guys. At the risk of sounding like a record melting off the turntable, HOW HOT WAS IT TODAY? That's a trick question because I'm going to tell you how hot it was: 46 DEGREES (114F). Even our weatherman was all like "In 30 years of presenting the weather I've never seen a day quite like this". 46 is apparently the hottest temperature ever ( Read more... )

So in today's installment of Stuff That Is So Obvious I Don't Even have To Say It, HOW FREKAING HOT IS IT? I am dying. For those of you who don't live here, Melbourne is going through a mini-heatwave right now - for the last 3 days the temperature has peaked at around 43C/109F, which is the highest temperature recorded in Melbourne in six years.

I don't usually update so fast, but I have a grievance! Counting Crows (one of three two-hit terror bands loved by your girl Char) are coming to Australia in March! Yay, right? I mean, they're supporting the Who, but the Who are awesome and I would gladly sit through a Who show just to see my CC play a 45 min opening set and then sing along to all ( Read more... )

So.

There is this new ad for a supermarket on during the Olympics that is supposed to be saluting the parents of our young athletes or something. It uses Sia's "Breathe Me" and gets the piano intro going on a loop in my head. Which would be all well and fine except it's the song from the end of the Six Feet Under finale, and every time I see that ( Read more... )
