I’d never make it as a Hipster. And not just because I lack an ironic moustache.
I just don’t get the concept. For example, we have the technology to digitally record crystal clear sound. We mix it electronically in high fidelity to ensure it’s of optimum quality.

. . . . or just a bloody good read?
I read an article by Sady Doyle some time back that slammed GOT for being misogynist. I thought it was totally off the planet and missed the point of many of the issues it complained about. I thought in most cases Marten was setting up . . . → Read More: Game of Thrones – misogynist, feminist . . .

Smoph and I spent much of the weekend before last at Supernova.
For those of you not in the know, it’s one of the major pop culture / fandom / Sci-Fi / Anime / Everything conventions, and I was a very lucky boy and got to celebrate my birthday weekend there.

Day dawns on a new week. If you’re lucky, today is a holiday. Maybe more of the week too.

Today, Victoria and Tasmania have a day off for Labour Day. I’ve always found it ironic that there’s a public holiday called “Labour” Day, given that people aren’t supposed to do any labouring on a holiday.
It’s also sometimes called “8 hour day”, to commemorate the movement slogan that people should be entitled to “8 . . . → Read More: MMM – Labour Day

This weekend we travelled to my grandmother’s for some R&R, to spend time in her company, some time at the beach and also helping out in the form of restoring her outdoor dining set.

I really can’t remember if we have done a post on memes before – my meme-ory is definitely getting worse!
In any case, here we go! I was a bit dubious about memes when they first started proliferating but then I realised they could be a very useful short-hand way of putting a point of . . . → Read More: Meme Mania Monday

All that sexy chicken talk on Friday got me thinking. Now it’s Monday and I have a confession.
I like looking at ladies. There I said it. I see one walking past in the street (and one of the marvellous perks of catching public transport and walking to work is that I see LOTS) and . . . → Read More: Monday Objectification Of Bodies In Everyday Society (MOOBIES)
