Desperately Disappointing

Yesterday I watched the first episode of the new season of Desperate Housewives.  Oh god, where to start!  I loved this show in the beginning but haveused it as more of a time filler show last season, rather than something I was actually eager to see.   This season, I’m not even sure I even want to watch any more of …

Karl Zwicky Owes Me a Cutting Board!

This afternoon I watched the latest episode (208 – Close Enough to Touch) of McLeod’s Daughters and it was the most tearjerkingest (that’s a word, right? :P) episode I’ve ever seen. I won’t get into what happened because I know my mother won’t be able to stop herself from reading this, and she is a few seasons behind… but omg.  …

Stick a Fork in Me

You know that saying ‘Stick a fork in me, because I’m done’?  Yeah, that was me yesterday afternoon. We went to a BBQ at a friend’s place in Beneden Leeuwen, which is about an hours drive from here.  It was a gathering of an expat group that I belong to online.  The same one that we met up with the …

Website Issues

A few people have mentioned that they are having problems with my site being slow to load.   It appears there are some problems going on with my host.   I thought it might be the theme, since the problems mainly started around the same time I switched themes, but after doing some testing everything is slow, even things on this domian …

A World Without Mosquitoes

Aaaah, it’s a wonderful thought, isn’t it?  I’ve bitched in the past about how much I hate mosquitoes but ugh, I’m fed up.   I have put screens on all our windows and doors but they still manage to get in somehow.  I think they have a secret breeding ground somewhere in my house.   I’m also convinced that the mosquitoes here …

Hey Brits, Do Me a Favor!

If Rex is ever up for eviction in Big Brother UK, VOTE HIS ASS OUT!!!  OMG, I don’t remember the last time I ever saw someone on TV, fictional or reality, that I despise as much as this man. Is anyone else watching this season?  I want to climb through my screen and poke his eyes out with my fingers.   …

42 Days

That’s how long until the first day of Autumn.  It sounds like a long time but it’s not really, and we’ve not even had a summer yet (we didn’t last year either).   I want to go back to France, where it was warm and dry.   Barring my horrid sunburn, I loved it there… and I only got the burn because …

WTF Africa?

You know, I’m not the most worldly person.   I’ve traveled around a bit but I generally don’t keep up on the politics and news in other countries.  Hell, I hardly pay attention to the news in my own country, so overall when it comes to current affairs I’m a giant ignoramus.   Something had me confused the other night though,  and …

Bad Genes!

I love my mom and dad, but I’ve decided that they’ve passed down some pretty rotten genes. I have my great grandmother from my mother’s side, Grannie’s, ass.  I know this because my sister has the same ass as me and Grannie is the only person I can think of when I go up the family tree that had one …

Shit Ninja Busted!

Oh my god, the DAY after I write the rant about the shit ninjas I’m out with the dogs and the very dog I suspected runs out and shits RIGHT IN FRONT OF ME on the sidewalk.   Other than trying to housebreak Pixel I have never in my life been so happy to see a dog have a crap! Not …
