Watching Movies: Harry Potter is gay?!
One of the great things about Mondays is that it’s cheap movie day at the Cinema Nova in Carlton, Melbourne. To celebrate this fact I took myself to see ‘Kill Your Darlings’ yesterday. This film, directed by John Krokidas, is the story of the murder of David Kammera by Lucien Carr in New York in…

Watching Movies: Where’s Walter?
I’ve done a few of these ‘Watching Movies’ posts. Initially I had thought that I might be writing mostly reviews of movies I’d taken myself to, but I seem to have more friends that I have given myself credit for or something and have been to a few lately with people. Anyway, I will still…

Happy 2014!
Welcome to 2014! Like many of you, I spent last night out and about welcoming in the New Year. I decided at the last minute to join a group of people on the roof of a bar in Windsor, Melbourne, called Mother’s Milk. The group was one that I’m part of through Meetup, so I’d…

Watching Movies: Smaug!
I should admit right at the start that I did actually see this with someone, so the name is slightly false advertising, however, I will press on! Today’s film was ‘The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug’, the second instalment in Peter Jackson’s ‘The Hobbit Trilogy’. What can I say about this film? I guess the…

Watching Movies: Blue Jasmine
I’ve recently discovered the joy of going to the cinema by myself. I don’t have to wait around for someone to be available to go with me, which is great because I have a bit of a weird schedule and I know lots of busy people. I don’t have to compromise and see a movie…

New Year’s Resolutions: how did I go?
So, it’s getting to towards the end of the year and I’ve been thinking about what I hoped to achieve at the start of this year and thought I’d go through a bit of a performance assessment of my own ability to achieve my New Years’ Resolutions for 2013. For those of you who need…

Dear Universe
Over the last few weeks I’ve been thinking about what I want out of life; what I would like to have in order to feel really, truly happy. I have a few things in mind that I think will help so I’ve decided to write them down and ask the universe to bring them to…

And then there were two…
Hello world! In the last thirty days I have undertaken the massive, mind-boggling, word-murdering challenge that is NaNoWriMo and I have won. I am now the proud owner of my second novel length manuscript. Currently entitled ‘Adventures in Mediocrity’ is it about 55,000 words long. This is not a long novel, as novels go, however…

Happy Blogoversary to me!
Yesterday was the two year anniversary of starting this blog, and I would have posted this yesterday but I had to work and then I had to get my NaNoWriMo words done and then I was sleepy. I have achieved a lot of things in the last two years that have made me much happier…

Richmond Adventure
After taking myself out for a coffee at a semi local (about 10 min walk) cafe to write up my plan for NaNoWriMo (that’s National Novel Writing Month) I went on a bit of a ramble through the suburb I call home. There’s quite a lot of cool graffiti, given the number of people in…
