It of course, has become unreasonably [...]

Ok, so I lied. I’m not actually Irish, I’m Australian but you can still kiss me and we drink just as much … if not more. I hope you’ve all recovered from good ol’ St. Patty’s Day and the festivities that ensured. Mine was a rather dismal day, I didn’t touch a drop of drink, [...]
Six Degrees: Vancouver Edition.
February 22, 2010 By
G’day Zoners, I hope you’ve all been enjoying the Winter Olympics. I for one have become obsessed with all things ice related – Speed Skating, Figure Skating, Curling and Ice Hockey. A great obsession to have smack bang in the middle of an Australian summer. I of course blame Stephen for my new found love [...]

Political fanfic, that is. Those of you who know me know my, shall we say, lack of enthusiasm for all things fanfic. However, when it’s written by friend of the blog and ‘Daily Show’ writer Rob Kutner, I have to pay attention. Also, the line about being able to see Alaska is brilliant in its [...]
