three little things
First: It is too hot – no, not in the good way, and not with two Ts. Brisbane has apparently decided to do away with the season in between winter and summer entirely this year, and it doesn’t look like it will ever, ever rain again. I am writing up a storm, but in my…

for those seeking fashion advice
Since the comments on my previous post mostly said I should do whatever the hell I want with this blog, let me share this bit of irony (not really irony, but irony in the style of Alanis) with you. Some deeply confused soul just arrived here via the Google search “what to wear out in…

this is one of those posts…
…in which the blogger notes his/her continued existence, notwithstanding long stretches of silence, and makes excuses to the readership. Like, life continues to be more interesting than the blog, i’m trying to finish a book chapter *about* blogging, and now that I’m past the information-sponge stage of PhD candidature (so I’ve stopped just collecting stuff,…

off to see…
…Margaret Cho tonight. A welcome distraction. Her blog aint half bad, either.

Damn it!!!!!!!!
It looks very much like someone else just published my honours thesis! I was getting around to it, honest. Bugger, bugger, bugger. No pun intended. On the upside, I like that the Magnetic Fields have a song called The Death of Ferdinand Saussure. Past victims of “Introduction to Communication and Cultural Studies” at UQ must…

Welcome back, brain
Now that my latest stint as degree-factory slave is over (for 2005 at least), I’m slowly finding my passion again…and most definitely feeling the full effects of the new media fatigue that has been haunting me all year – is this a problem for someone doing a PhD called Vernacular Creativity and New Media? I…

I drew a pig
With the trackpad, give me a break…apparently, the pig drawing says a whole lot about me. Like that I’m a good listener, a traditionalist, and have a great sex life. Duh. But I cannot resist these internet quizzes and personality tests! God, someone save me from the memes. Someone other than trine, who constantly encourages…

LifeWork Balance
hello, blog. I don’t want to sound defensive, because I’m not, but I’m a bit busy with life at the moment, you know, things, and stuff. I’ve been keeping up a bit of socialising for you though, reading other people’s blogs and leaving comments, and I’ve been adding some new del.icio.us links pretty much every…

Musical Baton
Anne has passed the musical baton to me, so… Total volume of music on my computer I haven’t put much on the iBook, so: 1.6GB (pathetic). But the external hard drive with legacy MP3s from my desktop PC has in the region of 10GB (still pathetic). There is some of absolutely everything in there, trust…

Out and about in Boston
I have copious session notes to blog from the conference, but I can’t cope with rewriting them right now (Axel, you are the master of conference blogging – I will have to just sit at your feet and learn). Plus, this is not really a laptops-out-during-sessions type crowd, and having an iBook makes you look…
