Major Delays – Hurstbridge line: both directions, after an earlier equipment fault at Macleod. Delays over 25 minutes.. Connex, Keeping you updated. Yeah, been waiting over an hour now. Random thought time. Anklets might make you feel ‘alternative’, but when they’re under a pair of cheap stockings and you’re wearing a business suit, you just [...]

One of the issues with living at the pointy end of the International Date Line is that you get reminded of anniversaries, etc too late, and celebrate birthdays too early. So, to wake up and be told to remember the 5th of November on the morning of the 6th is too late. And to be [...]

(note before I start- in this post I am not talking about my newly- betrothed. I’m talking about someone who I barely know. So there.) I feel sorry for men sometimes.

When I was 14 I discovered that my name wasn’t actually my name. In fact, it was a yuppified version, due to a typo. Luckily for me, I wasn’t some emotional teenager so I laughed it off, made sure my signature was gender neutral, and moved on. Then the Internet got big, and I discovered [...]

When I miss the train that I aim to catch each day- and this is pretty often-I get the pleasure of sharing the train platform with a lady I like to call Ranty Tourettes Woman. If you get near her she starts questioning your morality and then tells you to go forth and multiply, and [...]
