Losing Her A-Game

Cynicism is an unpleasant way of saying the truth.
Lillian Hellman

I’m perpetually tired these days. I can’t seem to sleep properly. I’m working a lot because my funds are so low that it almost seems sinful to say no to a shift. The bumper on my car needs fixing and I haven’t had time to take [...]

Turn Me Into Sea Foam

I’ve been sick. Sick as a damn dog for the past 36 hours. So sick that I haven’t been able to keep anything down and I’ve felt permanently dizzy (shit – I just started to type “pregnant” and got as far as “pre” before I realized what I was writing and quickly amended my mistake. [...]

Mismatch, Mismatch

Here’s a tip for women:
If you are ever planning, or hoping to EVER sleep with someone on a particular night, or indeed ever in the future, do not, I repeat DO NOT, wear a matching bra and underwear. No matter how seductive or “put together” it makes you feel, just don’t do it. Don’t even [...]

Teach Me Greek

That’s it. I can well and truly say that my over-indulgence has hit its peak. It’s time for me to do my annual “clean-living” stint, and what a better time than at the start of a new age and new month?
I woke up this morning in a cold-sweat. I had a terrible nightmare last night [...]

How To Preserve Oneself

I don’t get it. I really don’t. Just when I thought I’m finally coming to grips with my own mind, how it works and how and why I act in certain ways, I start behaving and thinking like a total stranger to myself.
I’m talking about romance here, folks. Why is it that some people are [...]

Sympathy For The Devil

“He who fights with monsters might take care lest he thereby become a monster. Is not life a hundred times too short for us to bore ourselves?”
Friedrich Nietzsche
It’s amazing how much can happen in a week. Roommates move out unexpectedly, new friendships are made, bosses get fired, people steal from you, a chance meeting with [...]

Right? Really?

So I recently saw the film Revolutionary Road (the new Kate Winslet/Leonardo DiCaprio flick) and boy, WHAT a downer. I’m really on the fence with it at the moment.
But before I start, I really have to give kudos to Sam Mendes – how he was able to watch Leo “bone” his wife on a kitchen [...]

Ramble On

My whole life people have told me that I (and this is a DIRECT quote) “tell long stories”.
I always shrugged it off, thinking it amused most people. When I tell a story, I like to get in every niggly detail – the details are important. Sometimes I even go back in time before the actual [...]

Phuck Phones

So I’m reading this book called The Monk Who Sold His Ferrari by Robin S. Sharma- it’s one of these inspirational/personal development types of literature. My mother got it for me for Christmas, bless her. She seems to always push these positive, uplifting books that she reads onto me whenever she finishes one. I’m not [...]

Keep Calm And Carry On

“It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, it was the season of Light, it was the season of Darkness, it was the spring of hope, it [...]
