Edinburgh Fringe Brain Puddle
I’ve spent today so far hanging out at my accommodation because yesterday I slipped on the cobbled streets of Edinburgh and hurt my right foot. This is my fourth day at the Fringe. I’m pretty devastated. Since arriving I’ve seen so many amazing things. I’ve been filling my brain with all sorts of art and…

Oh look, Amsterdam!
Hullo dear readers! I have now been in Amsterdam for about 10 days staying with some of my beautiful friends who moved here about two years ago. So far I have touristed thoroughly, in addition to eating all the things, sitting with some neighbours and pretending I understood what they were saying (and mostly getting…

Shouting into the void
On Wednesday night, for the first time, I realised that I’m not shouting into a void. I’ve been doing this blog since November 2011. That’s almost four years now, and while I’ve been a bit sporadic at times, I feel like I’ve kept the flow of material coming that whole time. I’m obsessed with watching…

Don’t dream it’s over…
Sorry, I know that’s not my line, but it seemed appropriate. Just a small update post, I feel like that’s all I’ve been doing lately, but maybe I’ll get inspired to do some more substantive posts soon. 1: Poetry I recently attended a new poetry workshop/group in Melbourne’s CBD. This group is organised by a…

I promise I will read them all…
Or at least start them all. Honest! I’ve just finished a three week seminar series at Kew Library on Romance Writing run by Anne Gracie (see the end), and I may have accidentally bought a book (which she signed, so that’s cool right?). I have so many books in the ‘to read’ pile, added to steadily…

Alright, that’s it, you can all go home
And so it was that we came to closing night of the MICF for this year. I have some mixed feelings about my festival experience. I saw nine shows, which is more I think than any year previously, but I also wanted to see so many more shows but didn’t/couldn’t for various reasons. I mean…

Lucky Dip and Luisa
Yep, it’s another Melbourne International Comedy Festival post. I’ve had a bit of a cold over the Easter Weekend so I didn’t get to as many shows as I would have liked but I’ve got another three to add to my list. Ali McGregor / Late Nite Variety Nite Night. It’s lovely and good value.…

So the Melbourne International Comedy Festival opened yesterday…
… and I’ve already seen three shows (one was a preview, technically, so I saw that on Thursday). Here follows super short review of each. Number 1: Free Wil / Wil Anderson Most people who live in Australia know Wil Anderson. I hadn’t seen him live before but I thought why not! So I did.…

Have you ever?
Have you ever worried that you’re actually boring? That you’re actually exactly the same as everyone else, and everything you think makes you special is bullshit? Have you ever thought that being different isn’t good? Have you ever just wanted to be like everyone else and fit in and be liked and get up and…
