Today’s theme is WAFFLES (and tea).

I haven’t really had many waffles in my lifetime, in fact I distinctly remember eating one in my childhood and not liking it very much. It could have been the ice cream served with it (I’m not a huge fan) or it could have been the horrid overwhelming cardboard texture. Lesley Knope really likes waffles [...]

Fat Pig

On 27 June, 2010 · 11 Comments · In Fashion, Reviews

I don’t see much theatre which is a shame because there’s a lot of interesting stuff going on on Brisbane, but I did manage to catch the Queensland Theatre Company’s production of Neil LaBute’s Fat Pig last night. I’m not going to lie, my interest was piqued by the title and when my [...]

Getting handsy

On 21 April, 2010 · 2 Comments · In Reviews

If you’ve been a long time reader (hello, I love you!) you’d know that I have a “repetitive strain injury” in my right arm from working too hard at being a graphic artist. I have had a lot of therapy in the last few years with no real result because I’m very [...]

Organic skin

On 6 April, 2010 · 8 Comments · In Reviews

I’ve had an interest in organic and natural skin care products for a while, but because I have difficult skin it’s been a challenge finding something that alleviates the angry red cystic spots that pop up and fits within my modest artist budget. I’m more than willing to try new things, so when one of [...]

On 25 February, 2010 · 3 Comments · In Reviews

I just had my first ever pedicure and it was THE WEIRDEST EXPERIENCE OF MY LIFE. Nick and I decided to pamper ourselves after all our intrepid plodding last week, and surprisingly Nick was the one who was enthusiastic about getting a professional to tend to our [...]

Last night I went out with the fabulous Sonya to dine and sip fancy cocktails at Byblos within the recently enfancened Portside district. The food menu is based on pretty classic Mediterranean dishes but the cocktail and drinks list [...]

On 24 December, 2009 · 7 Comments · In Reviews

Some of my friends surprised me with a visit and a gift the other day – a beautiful and completely unique blown glass pen! I had seen these pens online before, and had been really curious about them but decided against buying one at the time. [...]

Wacom Bamboo Touch review

On 10 December, 2009 · 7 Comments · In Reviews

I have a wrist injury from my job as a graphic designer, as you might know, so I’m always on the lookout for pointing devices that don’t aggravate the pain on a daily basis. A few months ago I got rid of the Mighty Mouse that came with my iMac because it has no ergonomic [...]

Review of Pilot Parallel Pens

On 22 July, 2009 · 4 Comments · In Reviews

So for a while I’ve been yearning to do calligraphy. I have a couple of books already, but I was confused as to what sort of pen I should buy first. Also, money was an issue, ha. When I found a bit of extra money in [...]

Pen science: testing waterproof-ness!

On 12 March, 2009 · 6 Comments · In Reviews

In the comments of my last pen review, Bob asked about the waterproof-ness of the Copic and the Pilot pens I had road tested. He was specifically interested in how they’d wash I think, so upon figuring out my new Rotring [...]
