No, it’s just my lungs trying to escape my body, same as usual for this week. Being sick sucks. Especially when you no longer get sick leave, so you just have to keep working… Speaking of working, here’s some reviews at CNET.com.au. Enjoy. I’m going back to the hacking and wheezing, if you’ll excuse me… […]

One is a genius, the other's insane…
I’ll leave it to the reader to work out which of Pinky and the Brain I consider myself to be. And, for that matter, who the other half of that equation is. My plans to take over the world took a rather solid setback this week, however, with a big old helping of family ilness […]

Man, I’d kill for a CD copy of Fuzzbox’s Big Bang, even though it will make me feel rather old. Damn. I just had to go and look up when it came out. Twenty years ago. Now I do feel old, even though one of the staff at Master Five’s preschool commented this morning that […]

I’m not sure I’m entirely happy with that lyric, KISS. First of all you’re stating that God gave Rock and Roll to me, but in the same breath, you’re then giving it away to everyone, apparently. Did you ever think that I might not have wanted to share? Rock & Roll shall be all mine! […]

I wish I still had the teeth I had when I was a youngster. Those teeth? Never required a filling, and could go long stretches without any dental intervention at all. The teeth I’ve got now? Drilled, filled and only partially numbed along the way. My face feels rather… unusual as a result. One half […]

Well, to quote a certain 80s pop starlet, I think I’m alone now. Although that lyric is from a different type of Queen entirely… Working. Yet again. So much work to do.For those who wanted more personal blogging… umm… the washing machine is dead. Are you happy now? If not, amuse yourselves with these reviews, […]

Now there’s a reference that three people, at best, will get. I expect at least one of them to fall out of their chair, possibly laughing. Yep, I’m writing a column on manners. Wow. I must be getting old. (and yep; a personal blog entry. Miracles, it seems, will never cease. I’ll pop a page […]

Another patently false lyric. You just have to know where to stab… (insert dark laughter here…) Yeah, OK, I’m not quite that grim. I’ve just been listening to too much Alice Cooper today. Well, too much of a single Alice Cooper album anyway. This was meant to be part of my “listen to lots of […]

Wow. An on-topic song lyric (and one of the better tracks off a remarkably poor Prince album. Then again, the numbers of those are starting to stack up…) In any case, the lyric suits today’s — well, yesterday’s, but I got busy entertaining hordes of screaming seven year olds yesterday, and couldn’t blog it up […]

I don’t really want to think about when that album came out right now. For a start, I really should be working to make up for this afternoon’s Nanna nap. Mm.. Nanna nap. Back to work, you fool! Who said that? Anyway, it’s back to work for me. You can keep yourselves busy with a […]
