Hiatus

23/12/2008

Hi all,

Just a quick note to say I'm going on holiday, and that I'll be back at the end of January.

Where to? Oh, just over the pond.

I will be visiting places where people say, "Ja," and "Nein," and "Achtung!" just as I am about to walk off a precipice. (Actually, they will probably say, " more »

A Letter to the Man in Red

20/12/2008

Dear Santa,

The jig is up.

This week I found out about your little friend from pre-Christian Alpine times, the Krampus, a hairy incubus with fangs, horns, and one of those scary, pointy, red tongues that hangs down to his chest. Apparently the two of you used to be quite chummy, making the rounds together at night.... more »

Watching John Edward Cross Over, Part 2

12/12/2008

There is a lot to admire about John Edward. He is an excellent public speaker and an entertaining storyteller. On stage he is charismatic, warm and charming, brimming with New York bravado and that disarming American bluntness.

But I still don't believe that he can talk to the dead.

Here is some of what I saw and heard on the night:

John Edward: "I'm getting a.... more »

My New Addiction to Craft Fairs

18/11/2008

And I blame Made on the Left for these new-found cravings. I have now been to my first craft fair and it was simply ... delightful, surprising, buzzing, cheery, inspiring!

The montage above shows some of the stalls I visited and the people I talked to. I'll give a brief description of them, going from left to right, top to bottom so that you.... more »

Made On The Left Craft Fair This Saturday

13/11/2008

Hello all, it's me again. What, another post from Angie, so soon? Is it Christmas already? Ho ho ho!

Alright, just ignore that lame intro and check your calenders to see if you have anything on this Saturday. And if you do, blow it off.

I'd like to throw in a little plug here for the Made On The Left Craft Fair/pre-Christmas.... more »

Watching John Edward Cross Over, Part 1

13/11/2008

Today the serendipity fairy struck me with her wand, and she struck me hard.

My friend J (he comments regularly on this blog so you can probably guess who he is) has to leave Perth unexpectedly and can't go to John Edward's, ah, seminar, at the Perth Convention Centre, so he has given me his tickets.

I Have Greatly Exaggerated the News of My Death

7/11/2008

Greetings all,

First of all, let me apologise profusely to my readers  -- all four of you, yes, you know who you are, you magnificent creatures -- about my recent posting lull.

Unlike Thrillsville, who at least has the sexy and thrilling excuse of becoming a roller.... more »

A Rubbish Thing to Do

17/10/2008

Can someone tell me why, when some people see a vacant piece of land, they feel an irresistible urge to treat it like their personal rubbish tip?

My mother has a block of land that she bought two years ago, after many years of saving*. She still has to save a little more money before she can build her dream house on it.

Every few weeks, we go to the site to check that.... more »
