A star for Stains.

My cat Tofu is called Squeaks, Squeaks McDeaks, Little Bat Face, or Toaster depending on my mood. Being a cat, she answers to none of them.

Irresponsible? No to me.

Dead, soulless shark eyes.

Next up, Mel Gibson as Ammon Bundy.

Well snap, I still find Mel Gibson annoying. He gave the world the term “sugar tits”, but apart from that everything else he’s done annoys the hell out of me.

How ridiculously they’re portrayed or how ridiculously they play up to the camera willingly?

Is this a viral marketing campaign by Calvin Klein?

Seeing positive role models on the television as I grew up really helped me accept who I am... So thanks Karen for showing me drunks are funny, witty, and loved.

Not just women. Some of us men are hungry for three-dimensional characters too, both female and male.

As I read this, the tv news here in Australia is showing the Tic-Tac speech made by Senator Warren. She is such a bad-ass. I love her.

Currently I’m in love with a certain style of Pinot Noir and thankfully there is an importer here in Australia called Pinot Now. They import great Pinot from my favourite areas; the Willamette Valley in Oregon, Otago in New Zealand and also some great domestic labels that aren’t in the larger chain wine stores.

I break open 3-4 cardamom pods and drop the seeds in, discarding the pod.

I lived 4 years in China and haggled every day of those 4 years. It helps to know what the locals pay, and the tip in China is to walk away at 30% of the starting price.

I was thinking Roger Ailes for that role?

I live in Australia, so yes, 18 months of US electioning bores me. Sorry if that offends you.

Finally these debates are over. Can we just declare Hillary the President now and be done with it?

The problem these days is having a resume that parses correctly with the horrible programs that recruiting agencies use. I’ve applied for jobs and used my LinkedIn profile to attach my resume and still had to then manually fix up all the corrections needed. It got to the point with some places that you would have to…

I highly recommend it. Very delicious. In the drink I listed above, usually I use Aperol (bitter orange) but the elderflower flavour combo makes for a nice change.

Drink du jour at my place is a St. Germanic Spritz in a large wine glass.
