It broke my Dad’s brain when we explained to him that first cousins were ‘cousin-cousins’ (his late boss’ eulogy mentioned that she and her husband were first cousins). Culturally for him (and my sisters and I) cousins = siblings more or less.

I’m aware that I sound like a broken record, but The Woman Who Rides Like a Man (aka SOTL #3)

...what?

After a day trip a few years ago with my Mum and the sisters above (Sash) and below me (Childling), we went to the train station to see the Sash off as she was living elsewhere with her now-husband at the time.

My sister found a ‘tradition’ (read: a suggestion on the Internet) where you give the bouquet to an important person in your life, so she gave it to our Aunt.

As I’ve said elsewhere, I don’t even understand this discussion. Supernatural only ran for 5 seasons.

AND NOT ONE WORD ABOUT THE REAL BABY NEWS

Since we know Chadwick Boseman’s Black Panther is being introduced in the movie

All this stick figure art floating around is starting to make me feel guilty about playing hangman.

I’m popping this in my (infinite) to-read list.

If I had my way, she’d be Australian of the year every year.

Also, seeing as someone beat me to me previous answer: The Old Kingdom series by Garth Nix

Must I be a broken record?

Once more for the death threat happy kids in the back:

She always looks like herself! I do genuinely wish more people would take risks and rock them, though. For example, here’s what Lee Lin Chin (Aussie newsreader) wore to the Logies (our daytime emmys, but at night). The best part (besides the comfortable shoes) is the fact that she is clearly having a ball:

Community (Seasons 1-3 are the only ones I can vouch for), BBC3’s Some Girls and Brooklyn 99

It’s always nice to see someone shamelessly wear a LOOK especially at an event that has costume in the title. Stylists have levelled the field and not in a good way.

Wish I could say I came up with this one m’self but safe to say I can’t unsee this:

To be fair, I haven’t read the books. But something tells me this series would have been made very differently if it had been actioned after Game of Thrones.

And this is why I’m too paranoid to sleep on my back.
