Do you have any advice for sshort-sightedshort arses? I’m 5'2 and as soon as my glasses get knocked off, I have a focal point about 5cm from the end of my nose.

Childless aunt here which gives me a different approach to feeding my niblings than that of my sister and her husband. Their (the adults) palates are not really wide or adventurous. Mine is. They also spend 7 days a week trying to feed their kids and are finely attenuated to what the kids will and won’t eat. I’m not.…

I live IN Australia and make my trips to Indonesia. And I'm in Melbourne so the only venomous spiders around are the red backs and whitetails. Sure we get the huntsmen (the ubiquitous clock spider, as I believe the internet knows them better as) but when they do visit, they tend to just stay in the corner above the…

When you say large, I don't know if you mean plus-sized large, or full-busted large, but for the full-busted ladies, I'm Australian 8H/US 30H and I swear by Panache sports bra. Oh fucking hell they changed my sporting life, and I now find running an absolute cornucopia of fun. Honestly. Panache sports bras.…

What are you doing to me!? I don't have that much money!! Noooo!

Nude on the Moon. NUDE ON THE MOON!!! It's so terribly terribly hilariously bad and I LOVE it.

As I recall, Doctor Who had a regular timeslot on the ABC at 6pm or thereabouts - so on the nights when I could convince Mum she didn't need to watch the news, I got to watch Doctor Who. But I never really got to see enough classic Who to get hooked.

Heh heh. I grew up rural and there are two bits of knowledge I have always known... How to deal with bushfire, and how to deal with snakebite.

"but fatal only in the worst conditions like being in the middle of nowhere, far from health facilities"

Yeah.... It took me a long time to get that joke in the PPG, because Townsville has always been a city for me.

Oh, I know how you feel. My new life plan is to have a kid, make it an astrophysicist and live my newly-discovered NASA dreams vicariously through it.

Not just Brasilia, George - Canberra is also a planned city.

I own it too. And watched it in utter disbelief. Then went back to the store and purchased another to send to a friend, because such shitty awesomeness needs to be shared.

So Jakarta has fairly decent air quality??? Oh my blessed saints! I was expecting something far far worse.

If it were I, a lovely lady, holding up a red Smartie/M&M.... yes, that could net me some success, I imagine.

*Little voice* Australia's got everything I need too. Except that book. And active volcanoes. Which is one of the things pulling me towards making a return trip to Indonesia.

Dear god, I'm trying to save money for a trip overseas, and you keep on showing me these beautiful books that I must must own. WAIL!

John Hillcoat and Guy Pearce, AND screenplay written by Nick Cave. Let's not forget that element.
