Thinking Aloud.
“Ugh. I ate that curry too fast. Maybe if I think hard enough about it I will throw up and feel better?”

Thinking out loud.
So, as you may or may not know, I attend a university. The university I attend is Lat Tobe. There are many sour points about this institution, such as the audacity of calling the Bundora campus the Melbourne campus. This puts my nose out of joint as it takes over 40 minutes to get here. Still, what irks me the most is how terrible the advertising campaigns are. Universities, in my experience, have...

Unpopular Opinions
I hate Henry Rollins and I hate Alain de Botton.
Both of these wankers may seem leagues apart, but I hate them for exactly the same reason. Both provide a convenient mouthpiece for dribbling slobs who like to think they know what’s going on and that they actually care about it.
By providing their stylised brand of easily digestible rhetoric they satisfy people base need to feel like they are...

Chatting with Ambrose.
Ambrose: Fuck, I always forget what a romantic soul you are.
Ambrose: Anyway, I'm off to sleep on a cloud
Ambrose: A weird, sort-of-hard-when-you-first-lie-on-it cloud
Ambrose: I think it must feel like what getting sucked into quicksand feels like
Ambrose: There's a reassuring thought to go to bed on

My dad found an ammunition dump in the canal (drained at the time) behind my parents’ house, including guns, grenades and a live bombshell, the latter of which he picked up, carried 200 feet and threw in our garden. The Army had to do a controlled explosion on it. The dump was dated back to the…

Life...
Whenever I have a bad day, and I’m feeling down about my life, I try to remember how easy I have it compared to Sailor Moon. Usagi has to go to high school by day and battle evil by night. She has all that sexual tension with Tuxedo Mask and suffers constant reprehension at the paws of her mentor and cat. I, by comparison, do not have to fight the Shadow Galactica or the Dead Busters, I...

Business!
Exerts from an email chain to housemates:
Me: New business idea: We start an American themed diner, with 44 dishes on the menu, and call it “All The Fed Presidents” and each dish will have a unique flair based on the president it is modeled upon.
Housemate Dan: That’s a good idea…What dish would you have for Bill Clinton?
Me: Steak, served blue, with a drizzle of cream...

The Lurking Fear
I was just listening to the audiobook of Lovecraft’s ‘The Lurking Fear’ while cleaning the kitchen and actually jumped with fear when a cup I had just finished washing fell off into the sink. Christ. This man writes one hell of a scary story.

I'll draw a picture of you
danceflogging:
Hey I’m doing a project where I draw portraits of people. If I follow you and you want to know what you’d look like with some sort of battledamage/facial scarring, post a pic on your tumblr and reference this and I’ll do it :)
Pick me! I love having people draw me! (I’m starting to amass a small collection of portraits).
Here is a shitty picture of me for reference....

Winter is coming...
(We get back late from seeing a movie and the house is dark and freezing cold)
The girl I'm seeing: Why is it so cold!?
Me: Its because you don't pray enough.
Her: Well, in that case, you'd best get used to being chilled to the bone.

Pan-Galactic Gargle Blaster
“The alcoholic equivalent of a mugging - expensive and bad for the head” and states that the effect of one “is like having your brain smashed out by a slice of lemon wrapped round a large gold brick.”

Coming Up For Air
“And the times they’ve had together, those three! Sometimes I’ve almost envied them. Mrs Wheeler is the leading spirit. You couldn’t name a kind of idiocy that she hasn’t dragged them into at one time or another. Anything from theosophy to cat’s-cradle, provided you can do it on the cheap. For months they went in for the food-crank business. Mrs Wheeler had...
