Oh noes, a search terms post
I’m not that keen on “weird things people search for and end up at this blog” posts, (although my sitemeter does give me frequent quiet moments of amusement and rarer bouts of disgust) but: People who are arriving at this blog searching for blather about the new Brangelina baby (and quickly running off when what [...]
Full Story »Ruminating Erudition (swoon)
Brand spanking new group blog Sarsaparilla, writing about literature, media and culture from Aussie points of view, with contributors who are some of my favourite Ozbloggers. I love this idea – bless the good blog Sarsaparilla and all who sail in her! Oh, and Kerryn did an excellent job on reviewing Answered by Fire like [...]

Daily Telegraph columnist Anita Quigley is shrill in her Saturday column about a Sydney pre-school which has introduced a curriculum which is friendly to non-traditional homosexual and transgender families. She’s “a strong advocate for a factual and concise sex curriculum for students” but (we knew there was going to be a but, didn’t we?): There [...]
Full Story »Sunday Stomacher – Fragrant Sour & Spicy Thai Soup
This soup has much the same base as a Laksa, but not so much coconut cream. I tend to use low fat versions of the coconut and chicken stock, but that’s an option. Fresh Asian vegetables can be used instead of tinned, or one could use tinned Asian mushrooms instead of fresh. This really is [...]

Too bad Mum’s gone home or you’d be in big trouble, Mr. Clarke. I was managing to muffle my rib-bruising shrieks of laughter until this bit of your Pitch to Marie-Claire magazine for articles to correct their perceived left-wing slant: Lose Weight the Objectivist Way With the Ayn Rand DietWhat, you want to be told [...]
Full Story »Friday Random Ten – Quick post before crime night edition
aka the when Mum comes to visit edition, because that’s when we go out to a beachside cafe for breakfast: We shared scrambled eggs on multigrain toast and field mushrooms with goats’ cheese on toasted sourdough, with apple/carrot/celery/ginger juice. This was our view this morning. Then we went for a walk along the South Coogee [...]

Full Story »This just in: Heather Mills perhaps not totally evil
I just saw a picture similiar to this held up on telly on a UK tabloid-watch segment, and thought, (as one does with regard to this particular HM), “PR manipulating cow” – for years we’ve never seen a shot of you with a crutch, but now your marriage breaks up and here you are, a [...]
Full Story »Obscene on LJ
Apparently, LiveJournal has no problem with default userpic icons that depict breasts as below, because despite the unapologeticly abundant display of flesh for no other reason than titillating the male gaze, there is an all-important level of decency maintained by strategically placed artificial flowers: Hey, it’s just a girl looking glamorous and sexy, right? Nothing [...]

I must have missed an announcement – a bit over a month ago Flutey said ta-ta to blogging (Ozblogistan mourned), but he’s been sneakily posting things for more than a week!

we just tuned into Auntie to watch the David Wenham (obPhwoah!) minseries Answered by Fire, set in East Timor in the days leading up to the 1999 referendum on independence from Indonesia.
