I wrote a post the other night and, upon seeing what various other people are saying about the issue, have decided not to post it. It was one of my more rantier rants and it seems that lots of other people have come to similar conclusions. I still have to say something though, I just can't help myself… What am I talking about? First and foremost, I'm talking about the issue last week with Julia Gillard's moment of YouTube fame… Read more »
. I just had to share this video with you after coming across it last night. This video really made me think about the one life that we have, and the way in which we live that life. We don't know what the future holds; some people live to 90 and some people die too soon, like Rachel, at nine. In her ridiculously short life, it would seem that she did more than most people do in decades. She… Read more »
If you've been around these parts of the Internet for a while, you will already know I can get pretty opinionated about the the good and evil aspects of the media. If you are new, I can tell you right now that I often like to weigh in on issues such as Kony 2012, The Lightbulb Conspiracy, and how much I appreciate good advertising. My latest is a film coming to the Sydney Film Festival this month, called Pink Ribbons… Read more »
If I post on the weekend, I tend to only do Viewing Delight posts and as today is Mother's Day, I thought it would be only fitting to combine the two and make a list of movies that remind me of my mum. I think you can tell a lot about the kind of movies that people love – not in a judgemental way, just in an interesting way. So I could do the generic, 'my mum is amazing' post… Read more »
I hope you had a great weekend! This is going to be short and sweet but I wanted to tell you about two exciting things are taking place this week in my world. Firstly, my mum and grandma have come to visit for the week. Outside of Skype, I don't get to see them very often and we're having a great time just spending time together and touring some of my favourite Sydney spots. (This is one that we just… Read more »
Working on the television series, In Their Footsteps, last year, I gained a much more informed and emotional understanding of not only Gallipoli, but all of the wars Australians have been involved in and I wanted to post this today in honour of the men and women who have fought and who are fighting for us.

You have probably seen this around on Twitter or Facebook or some other social networking site in the past few days. If you have not, then I commend you for not being as much of an online junkie as I am and I thank you for choosing to stop by my little blog! For me, personally, I think that the Kony 2012 campaign initiated by charity organisation, Invisible Children, is one of the most compelling PR strategies I have seen… Read more »
If you are a little behind on the news, you may not have heard about the Wikipedia blackout. For 24 hours on January 18 (today in the U.S), Wikipedia is taking a stand against two bills that are being discussed in the United States Senate that, if passed, will create a world of hurt to the wonderful world wide web (yeah, it's wwww now). I'm not a total pro on all the technicalities, so check here for more info (yes,… Read more »
Exactly one year ago, on the 11th of January, I moved to Sydney – away from home for the first time. At the time, almost all of Queensland was facing a serious natural disaster and I left the day the banks of the Brisbane River broke. I know that my life changed drastically the day I left Brisbane. It was just me and Bailey, together, but away from our safety net. We had to get to know a brand new… Read more »
