Tom is what my cat was called at the shelter. Boresville. We renamed him Herbert, which fits in much better with the names of other cats in our neighbourhood - Gary, Theo, and Norman - and fits his personality much better.

I was also planning on tricking my bf into seeing this film but it's only at the cinema for another week and at crazy times - 2.55pm on weekdays or 11.35pm on Friday night. So either at work or an hour and a half past my bedtime. Le sigh.

John Cusack said nothing of Cleveland! Everyone wants to flee to the Cleve

In Australia you can carry a case of beer onto an airplane. Or a six pack or a bottle of wine. The future is now.

And stop eating meat. But no one wants to hear that either.

My phone contract has just expired and I'm ringing up my provider to try to get them to match what another company is offering. Just in time for the new iPhone means that I've been on hold for 40 mins so far. Thank Dog for speakerphone. But I feel like I can't do house chores because I need to concentrate so I don't…

Does that mean that Zelda still has Salem? That would be the cutest thing ever.

Love it! The best ever thing that happened to my drivers license photo is, after being out of the country for a few years and having to order a replacement through the post with a money order (process took six months), the format of the photo/licenses had changed and my five-years-old photo got smooshed so my face…

Seriously. How do we get that lady a pasta pass?!

My workplace is very multicultural and we have signs up with illustrated instructions showing how to not stand on toilet. I can't blame her really - she has maybe never been exposed to a western-style toilet before.

I saw Obvious Child at a recent film festival here and the whole cinema was in hysterics throughout the film. (The film even got voted 2nd for the whole festival in the people's choice award.) The topic of abortion is an everyday reality - and a plotline involving abortion can be written to be funny, sad, or serious.…

I wonder when the tabloids will finally decide that Jennifer Aniston is not going to be pregnant. Will she hit 55 and instead of her headline including the word "pregnant" it will be "childless spinster"?
