So I was listening to a song today and I was like 90% sure that the lyrics were “I can’t hear the music when I chew.” For the whole time I was at the gym I was just thinking ‘how loud does this girl chew?’ Now that I’m home, I’m thinking that she might have …
I’m playing Lizard Orb X right now. It’s all about finding magic orbs that summon a lizard who grants wishes, and I can’t help but notice that no one ever wishes for anything normal. You know – normal stuff, like lots of money or a pair of shoes that are super comfortable and never, ever …
You know who’d be a great superhero? Power Man. Not a man who’s powerful, because we have about a million of those. No, Power Man would walk around the streets of Melbourne, covered in power. POWER. Like, portable battery packs and leads for basically every single electronic device under the sun. There would be some …
Well. WELL. Now it all makes sense. All the riddles have been answered, all the Sunday morning newspaper crosswords filled in, all the thousand-piece jigsaws puzzle with inaccurate boxes and/or confusing subject matter like a picture of a pile of identical sprouts…they have been solved anyway. I know it was sneaky, but there was such …
I like to think I’m the token nice teammate around here. Everyone else really wants to destroy the world, or even worse, and I’m just here wanting humanity to thrive and become the dominant species in the galaxy. And if that involves them mutating into hideous, bug creatures, then is that really so bad? If …
Catching flies with chopsticks is an age-old technique, and one we know well in our family. In fact, it’s become a rite of passage, for when a famiy member turns five years old. They must catch seven flies in their chopsticks, one for each of the heaven gates, and if they cannot then there is …
‘What famous piece of literature could be improved with modern technology?’ Interesting. When I signed up for this literature course I just thought we’d be analysing the central themes of Wondering Heights, or something. It counts towards my overall credit, even though it doesn’t have much to do with my major. I just like books, …
Most kids, I think, at some point, wanted to be superheroes. Nothing wrong with that. I’m pretty sure I was the only one who fought evil with flowers, though. Not plants, mind you…that’s been done. Not flower power in the hippie sense either, because I was born way too late for all of that. No, …
I don’t think people understand car ownership, sometimes. In fact, in my friend group, it’s become that thing that irks me: something that people are PROUD of not knowing. You know, that despicable internet trend where people are proud of not knowing about current events, or mathematics. I was talking to Millie the other day …
Procrastination is, and always will be, my worst enemy. We’re two days away from a huge move to the western suburbs and I’m sitting here with the pizza boxes piling up (already got rid of all the plates) playing Random Hearts. It’s not really well known outside of Japan, but that’s the RPG about the …
