Suze, you make good sense, but my inner social butterfly isn't quite ready to crawl back into the cocoon. I think this will be a struggle for awhile yet... My PhD is in Linguistics (more specifically, discrimination in the media). Sexy stuff, right? ;)

(Link to full size) As a somewhat frequent flyer, I have built up an immunity to many of the traumas of modern travel. I could walk sock-footed through magnetic gates set aflame. Perform any manner of striptease behind a security... Continue reading

I saw this call-for-help posted outside the cafe across from Newtown train station. One part of me suspects that this is a great marketing gimmick for the new Berkelouw Bookshop (with cafe) that just opened off King Street. But the... Continue reading

The Sunday Stoop

Look, you don’t need stylish as-seen-on-Sex-and-the-City zip codes to throw a little Stoop Social. In fact, you don’t actually need to live in the same hemisphere as that trash, or even speak the same “hello operator” variety of English. These... Continue reading

It’s a bit of a homesick weekend. I can explain to you in one word why that is: Equator. It’s that time of the year where New York is tagging Sydney for chilly temperatures, early sunsets, and lethargic nightlife. Knishes... Continue reading

Less than 12 weeks until I return to the Outback. How stoked am I? As stoked as these kangaroos, who (at the time of shooting) had not yet had their testicles harvested to make coin purses or bottle openers. Continue reading

The Phenomenal Handclap Band - 15 to 20
Born into the molasses atmosphere of the deep south and grown in New York’s greenhouse summers, every winter is the winter of my discontent. Even Australia’s “winter” (it must appear in quotes) chokes the joie de vivre from two months... Continue reading

Brandon: Even then; it reminds me of spiders, inexplicably. I hadn't thought about the hemisphere. In general, actually, for a while now. Suze: Well that makes you fit right in around here! And thanks, my dear. Pureklass: Where do you stand on the stringy pulps of mangoes and papayas?

Quiet heart
I took a part-time job at the university library. Two nights and one day a week, I answer softly-spoken queries about the location of collections and toilets. I unlock the printer cages, insert reams of paper, and re-fasten the padlocks... Continue reading
