I’ve probably mentioned it before, but a large part of the English-speaking Western world actually believes that Americans don’t speak English. So, what exactly do we Americans speak? American!
Look, I’ll give it to the Brits that perhaps their English is the more proper and correct version. They did, after all, father the language. We Americans then took it and… Read more

Shoe Shortage in Australia
Thousands of Australians are going without proper footwear all across the country.
From a random sampling, an estimated 10% of the population performs daily activities, such as grocery shopping or walking to work, without any form of shoe on whatsoever.
The cause of this strange behavior was initially said to be from a widespread shoe shortage in Australia, but after… Read more
To My Family, With Love… But Mostly Frustration
Clearly, I do my best writing when I’m emotionally unstable. Anything that comes out of these fingers when I’m feeling completely angered, amazed, saddened, annoyed or joyous… Read more to an unbalanced level just tends to flow without thinking.
Now, I give you frustration.
Yes, family, I’m about to call you out. I apologize in advance, but it just
I love it, I love my naughty little pet.
I’m having elephant weevil withdrawals. Remember how I was saying I should have given him a name and kept him as a pet… Read more, well it turns out that maybe I really should have!
While reading the free mX paper on the train home from work, I came across an interesting article. It explained that even though insects have tiny
It's starting to feel like National Geographic around here.
Thanks to a lovely reader, Brian, I found out that I had an adorable little elephant weevil… Read more in my apartment last week… That AND a dirty little bastard of a cockroach that viciously attacked me and made me scream like a little girl. YEAH, well who’s laughing now?! Anyways, it was not only a day later that I was walking
Help! I'm being invaded by alien bugs!
What is this?! Look at it… What the hell is this bug?! And, why the freak is it in my apartment?! Gar.
I hate bugs more than anything. Highest on that list are spiders, and that sometimes reaches a level of irrational fear. But, any buggy type thing will do it to me. I came home from work last night… Read more
The Exotic Foreigner: Shut up, or I will punch you in the face.
Look, I’ve been dealing with some anger issues lately. I’m not sure why, but I just keep wanting to punch people, things, ideas, whatever in the face. Oh, yeah, that would feel so good, or at least I think it would. It’s not like I’ve ever actually hit anyone in the face – on purpose – but there is that… Read more
Mo Sista
I had never heard about Movember until Australia. Movember is when the entire month of November is spent growing a “mo”, which is short for moustache, in support of men’s health issues. You get donations that go towards helping prostate cancer and depression in men, and a really good excuse to grow a wicked stache.

Kyrgyz Drink Video Backlash
I used to make some videos every now and again for my blog, which I’d like to get back into doing, and I generally promote them on vimeo and also upload them to YouTube. I wouldn’t say I’m a successful video maker – they rarely get views, I make them with my pocket camera, and they never get comments… except… Read more
Didn't quite make it to Leichhardt.
I didn’t quite make it to Leichhardt this past weekend, but I’m OK with that. Sure, Leichhardt is known as the Little Italy of New South Wales. Sure, they might have heaps of restaurants with delicious Italian food for all the tourists and locals to delight in. Sure, I didn’t make it to Leichhardt to see what touristy treats were… Read more
