New nickname required for disgruntled housemate

Thursday, November 30th, 2006

Why is Queen of the Nerds disgruntled? She resents the Queen of the Nerds label and has requested a more accurate/appropriate pseudonym. She argues that Queen of the Nerds is a “completely inaccurate pseudonym”, as it “would imply that I [she] am [is] the ultimate nerd of the household”. Reading between the lines, it appears [...]

Unleashing my inner rock star

Wednesday, November 29th, 2006

Last night, jamming on the guitar, eyes closed almost felt famous. Almost. I opened my eyes again, and I was still in my frickin bedroom. Not cool, not cool at all. I came up with a solution.
I need to get a rock stars eye view of what it looks like to be standing in [...]

A tribute to Naomi Robson

Wednesday, November 29th, 2006

Yesterday, Naomi Robson announced that she was resigning from her post as anchor of Today Tonight. It was a dark day for entertainment and television.
It’s been a big year for Naomi Robson. There was the cannibal story and her deportation from Papua. Allegations of her demands for a special hair and make up van during [...]

Fantasy football season starting soon

Tuesday, November 28th, 2006

Do people often tell you that your living in a fantasy land? If the answer is yes, then Fantasy Football is probably for you. By football, I’m not talking Aussie rules. This is American style NFL stuff. Granted, I know nothing about NFL, besides what I’ve picked up from watching Jerry Maguire, so chances are [...]

Ian Thorpe’s retirement and why we shouldn’t forget

Monday, November 27th, 2006

The big sports news in the past week or so has been Ian Thorpe’s retirement from swimming. Undoubtedly one of the greatest swimmers and sportsmen Australia has produced, the Thorpedo dominating his sport, breaking world records and winning gold medals. For that he’ll always be remembered as one of the greats. Unfortunately, he does have [...]

Would you like to adopt an alien?

Monday, November 27th, 2006

Ever felt that it was time you gave something back to the universe? Maybe then it’s time for you to adopt an alien. There’s a company selling aliens, well test tubes holding white powder that grows into an alien. They have computer chip brains, heart beats and can apparently communicates with its homeworld’s website. Beats [...]

My milkshake brings all the boys to the yard…

Monday, November 27th, 2006

I grew a year older on the weekend. Scary stuff, I’m concerned that it may mean I need to grow up. I’m hoping it doesn’t need to come to that though.
It’s common knowledge that my milkshake brings all the boys to the yard. And they’re like, it’s better than yours, damn right it’s better than [...]

Trade in the Xbox, Nintendo is back… sort of…

Thursday, November 23rd, 2006

Well maybe don’t trade in the Xbox quite yet, but those classic old Nintendo games we all grew up with (at least I know people that grew up with them!) can be played online now for free! If you want to have a crack at some old school Super Mario Brothers, check out excessively.net and [...]

Battle of the Battlestar Galactica Cylons – who’s hotter?

Thursday, November 23rd, 2006

This debate has been raging for a good 2 minutes now. I know who my money is on… but I better try and keep this as unbiased as possible. Of the two hot Cylons from Battlestar Galactica, who is hotter, Cylon Sharon (Grace Park), or Cylon No.6 (Tricia Helfer)? Although I’m interested in the opinions [...]

Ever thought that you would make a great voice over artist?

Thursday, November 23rd, 2006

I have a crap voice, I can’t sing, and have trouble reading from scripts. Clearly a career as a voice over artist is out of my reach. If you do not suffer from any of my afflictions however, then the internet is making it easier to give voice over work a try. There’s a website [...]

Disturbing whale facts

Wednesday, November 22nd, 2006

This one is courtesy of Bean Bag Boy, probably the only person more disturbed than me. I knew I shouldn’t have let the little guy watch the second series of Wild Boyz on the weekend.
We all know whales are pretty big so none of what you see here should be of any surprise to you. [...]
