English lessons
At work we have a Norwegian who is with us on a student visa. He’s allowed to work a limited number of hours each week and is generally fun enough to be with. I mean, he puts up with my bullshit, so how bad can he be?
One night he and I are out […]
My un-Australian toilet
Australia is the driest continent on Earth and one of the few first world nations to post consistant population growth. Where I live it is illegal and punishable to wash your car, hose the garden or run a sprinkler. Water fountains and pools are regularly drained and there is talk of further reducing water […]

In a rut
I’m a bit down at the moment, I have been for about two weeks. I’m dividing myself up between work and study, I want to be successful at both but am at neither. At work I’m delegated boss duties, but not given the time to fulfil them. At uni I managed to fail an exam […]
The hiiiiiiills are alive, with the sound of muuuusiiiiiiic!
I know that it’s a gay cliche, but I love musicals. So, for no special reason, other than the fact that I’m procrastinating doing uni assignments and I haven’t posted in ages because work is so busy, here is a list of my favourite five musicals on DVD.
1. Moulin Rouge - A clever […]
