A less self-indulgent post, in which I essentially just run around squeeing about all the Mad Science I’ve found this week. Bug protects itself by turning its environment to gold. Mass meditation prevents violent crime. The Four Georges: Born To Rule (okay, so that one’s history) Brain Frequencies The Art of Eating Insects (an emminently […]
A recent post from Liana prompted me to sit down and figure it out. I work full time, run Creative Writing Club, meet weekly for the school Antipodeans trip to Laos, have lunch and recess duties, clean a house, cook home-cooked meals more nights than not, have a 1-year-old child whom I am still breastfeeding,
Once again, it’s been nearly a month since I last posted. *sigh*. So much for the new year’s resolution about more timely blogging 😛 Anyway, the last few weeks have been very nearly literally insane, what with school starting back (meaning full time work for me) and the kid starting daycare (3 days a week)
Lookit me, meme-ing… And yes, I totes copied and pasted, because I am technically out of town right now (it’s complicated), and net access is limited.

Another baby-paraphernalia post, but in case anyone is a) interested and b) in Australia, Woolworths Select brand wet wipes are the free-est from chemical nasties. I wouldn’t advise munching on them (much to Small Boy’s intense displeasure – he loves the things and will hunt down the packets with ridiculous focus), and there are a

In response to Michelle’s fabulous post here. Actually, I reject the notion that endings can be divided into ‘happy’ and ‘more realistic’. This is a topic of frequent debate at work (i.e. in the English faculty), because there are certainly those in the faculty who despite any kind of popular or populist fiction as ‘trashy’,

It’s funny how once you begin to question what you put in your mouth, on your body, and into your environment, there comes a point where one day it’s just a habit. The other day, I did another big sweep through my clothing – I’m a little sick of the floordrobe, but the primary reason
