Maybe it wasn’t such a good idea to fake a zombie apocalypse on the eve of the Victorian election. I really thought that would make everybody realise how awesome my favourite roleplaying game (Goblins and Grottos) is. Suddenly, I thought, they would understand why I had spent so much of the government’s money on that …
No, Lazarus and I did not deliberately break the front door so that we could have a sliding door installed! I cannot believe you would accuse us of such a thing! What’s that, Lazarus? Nobody is asking us anything because we are typing into a magical laptop computer? Oh, I guess I am just so …
Is it just me, or has Melbourne been much more interesting than other cities across the world over the last ten months or so? I feel like this time last year things were perfectly normal. Maybe I was just ignorant. I swear we didn’t have a Superhero Training Academy or a Supervillain Training Academy back …
I’m the owner of a medium sized company in Melbourne and I have always made the employee experience one of my top priorities. I’m a big believer in the fact that if you work hard for your employees then they will work hard for you, which I feel has really benefited the company. Lately, a …
True to form, Angela at the academy has decided to rewrite the rulebook at the last minute, and now we all have to come up with a new footwear solution just three days out from the competition. It’s absurd, I tell you. Unfortunately, this kind of thing has been par for the course ever since …
Sleeping in your car isn’t as bad as most people assume. It’s cheap, for one thing. For another, it’s better than living on the street. It’s nice and cosy, and I actually find the chairs more comfortable than my bed back home. Just got to look on the bright side of things, you know? When …
I have a terrible secret. Without further ado, here it is: sometimes I spend hours at a time on looking at soft furnishings online. No just any soft furnishings, mind you; I’m very picky. I’m talking about designer upholstery, curtains, cushions and even wallpaper. Sure, that last one’s not technically a soft furnishing item, but …
When it comes to foot health, you don’t know what you’ve got until it’s gone, or at least temporarily out of order. This came to my attention recently when I suffered a broken toe – the second to smallest one on my left foot. How much of a problem could that really be? Such a …
Names are just weird. Like, something sticks, and that’s that. No getting rid of it. I just had a ‘Jamaican mud cake’ from a cafe, and while it was excellent and totally worth the calories, I couldn’t help but wonder why it was called that. Then I had an image of two people with thick …
I remember wanting to be a ‘sparky’ when I was younger…and yeah, it had a lot to do with the name. This was during a phase of my life when I’d pick my favourite superheroes and fruits and cars based on how they sounded rather than anything about them. I was all set on being …
