I wasn’t supposed to drive the hearse for all that long. In fact, I was just supposed to bring it in for car servicing in South Yarra after the funeral, after which I was going to bring it back to Uncle Frank and I’d be able to tell the kids someday that I drove a …
I don’t care what the council says; I NEED my snow machine. It gets me out of bed when the weather gets warmer, it makes me feel like I’m back in my home country of Yugoslavia, and it’s really the only reason I have to go on living for the six months of the year …

Sometimes you just come across a certain idea for a show that’s pure gold from the get-go. And trust me, I’ve seen a LOT of great premises that have fallen by the wayside because of bad character writing, terribly choreographed fight scenes and just corner-cutting animation. Also, bad plots. But ‘Follicle Traversal!’ is different. They’ve …
My boyfriend was in the garage banging away on his latest invention. He was full of ideas and loved getting them out of his head and constructing them. He comes up with the most amazing things, it is always fun having a look at his finished products. I am not allowed to go into the …

The cooking of food in this realm is a source of great confusion for me, and undoubtedly many of my hidden wizard brethren. I was extremely careful when I arrived here, watching the mortals and their ways, but I could never understand what was occurring when they placed the food into those black boxes. Obviously …
And once again, my quick-thinking saves the day. Alright, the truth: my quick-thinking has saved the day…for the first time. Maybe the last, but I’ve heard lightning CAN strike twice in the same place under very specific circumstances, so I’m holding out hope. The party wasn’t my idea, because I’m horrible at organizing events. But …
I just got invited to join a month-long health kick to be administered over social media. I get the point – group solidarity and all that – but I can’t help but think that accountability would be higher if it was an in-person thing. That’s neither here nor there, though. It’s just got me thinking …
If you ask me, kids should be introduced to grown up concepts sooner. If they react poorly, then they’re weak and they need time to harden up before they face the big bad world. But I showed my son a horror movie when he was five, and he had a great time. I KNOW he …
