How I Broke My Leg
Over 5 weeks ago (12 August 2010) I was in an accident on my way to work. It was a little different to the usual ride because in a weird stroke of fate Pauline was actually with me on her scooter to meet a friend and go shopping. I took my usual route to work [...]
Motorcycle parking changes in Brisbane
The Brisbane City Council has changed the way parking works for motorcycles and scooters in the city. We all knew it was coming since we’d seen line markings on sidewalks but no one knew if they’d start charging and booking people. A lot of bikers were angry and scared but now that they’ve announced the [...]
Shopping for licketys
When I was in high school I happened to chance upon a documentary on the ABC on a saturday afternoon about an author who wrote a series of articles in a newspaper that was essentially a thinly veiled gossip column about people living in San Francisco in the 70s. A gay guy, a middle american [...]
I've been having an affair and this is the best way to announce it
It’s true. The reason the content has been so thin on the ground over the past few months is because I’ve been seeing someone else. I’ve been sneaking around spending time elsewhere, holding back my content here so that I could spread my words to some bigger better blog. Yep – selling my soul to [...]
Tegan and Sara at the Tivoli Brisbane
Went to see Tegan and Sara perform their last concert of a 6 month tour at the Tivoli last night. The twins have a special relationship with Brisbane, I think because they have relatives here, but also because the last concert they did in Brisbane they claim was one of their favourites on the last [...]
Good Food and Wine Show 2007
I took Friday off work as a flex day to attend my first ever Good Food and Wine Show after pre-ordering my tickets at ticketek the day before. I got there around 9.45am since I knew that even though I had booked my 10.30 show with celebrity chef Ben O’Donoghue I still needed to line up [...]
Restaurant II – Degustation Menu
Throughout my teens and twenties I wasn’t too fussed about my birthday since it was on school holidays and it was too hard to organise things then. Apart from a surprise party at age 15, a bittersweet 21st birthday and a karaoke bowling 30th my birthdays have been mostly forgettable. Somehow though I’ve experienced an [...]
Queensland Roar Family Fun Day 2007
Since I’ve been sick all week and finally felt well enough to consider leaving the house, it was only fitting that I would leave to go see the Queensland Roar. Unfortunately by the time we got there it had started to spit rain which is great when you are in a drought, not so great [...]
Sicko
Is it a coincidence that I saw the Michael Moore movie Sicko last Saturday night and the next day I had the starting of sore throat? Now it’s the end of the week and I’m still laying here coughing up horrible green prizes and winning awards for being the grossest person in the house. I’m [...]
White Rabbit at Yeronga
Pauline and I decided to dine at a newly opened restaurant in Yeronga that has a bit of a buzz around it – primarily because the owners used to own Harveys in James Street. I’ve never been there but I have had pizza from the store that opened just beside the White Rabbit – pretty [...]
