“What you doing?”…”having a party” BOO! So, i’ve had a pleasantly surprising week. Even though i’m coming down with yet another cold (i dont understand why i’m sick all the time here?!) I’m still in a good mood. Wont confess why just yet, as nothing is for sure. It’s annoying to realise that just last week i was at home ...

I’ve just finished Paulo Coelho’s ‘A Orillas del Río Piedra Me Senté y Lloré’ which, in English I think would translate to; ‘by the side of the stone/pebble/rock river, I sat down and cried’. Absolutely inspiring book. For anyone who likes happy endings, true love, and enlightening journeys, this is for you. However, despite the description I’ve just given, it’s ...

I hate shopping. Yesterday I tried on about 50 million pares of togs and only bought some in the end because my brother had run away out of sheer boredom and my current pair are literally unwearable. The elastic is so far gone that they fall up an off and around and there is no way they would have withstood ...

I’ve just finished reading F. Scott Fitzgerald’s THE GREAT GATSBY so I’m going around using expressions like ‘jolly good old sport’ and ‘oh, won’t we just have the gayest time!’ in broad, pompous English accents. Even though the book is set on the East coast of the United States… From what I’ve gathered, people have very definite opinions on this ...

“At some point during the night, I had lodged a flask of fine scotch whiskey between my buttocks.” – Chief Barley’s latest post. Did anyone else notice how on the buttons for our site, the main page has ‘forums’, in plural form, and on the other pages it lists it as ‘forum’, in singular? I never noticed until just now. ...

This has been a big week for me. I’ve bought a new car which I am slowly and hazardously learning to drive, I’ve done my first cementing job (they say I’m a natural), I’ve decided to join the Navy, I’m learning to home brew beer and last night I experienced organic pizza. Free-range Duck and Shitake Mushroom pizza no less. ...

My remix of Weebl’s badger song is #1 for the second week running in the Australian Digital Music Rave Charts on mp3.com.au, and moves up one to #3 in the Techno Charts! As part of my psychology degree, psych students are expected to complete a number of hours acting as guinea pigs for fourth-year- and honours-student’s projects before they are ...

Damn, almost out of time. My media law exam is in half an hour. I dont know whereabouts it is tho. Got back yesterday, in a good mood despite sitting next to the world’s smelliest boy on the airplane. Got into the flat, made a sandwich, unpacked, got showered and zonked out on the couch until everyone woke up HOURS ...

I flew to singapore with Ben and we wondered around aimlessly to eat much foods… then he proceeded to whip ...
