I’m a beauty junkie in thought if not in deed – being of considerable desires, but almost non-existent budget! However if I save up and budget extra carefully I can sometimes, sometimes not, wring out a hundred dollars or so per month for “play money””. Much strategic planning goes into distribution of said funds, but [...]
Okay okay so it’s been a while. I’ve been somewhat busy – well, occupied anyway! – and I’m trying to get out of my penchant for writing War And Peace length blog posts [NB: I said trying . . . it might take a while before I figure this out] so here is a bullet-point [...]
Herewith the usual humble cringing puppy-dog eyes apologies for the last fortnight silence: yep, I’ve been having a bit of a crap time [read: seriously scary and horrible and agonising pain episodes], spending WAY too much time in bed writhing and screaming in pain, and just feeling fundamentally vile because all I have in my [...]

Well, given the last post was kinda heavy – and there will be other “heavy” posts to come as I bare my soul a little bit - I figure a bit of light relief is called for, a little levity, something light-hearted. Yep, time to talk politics. JUST KIDDING !!! Feck I worked for State politics [...]
Taking such a long break from blogging was not something I wanted to do. Circumstances forced it upon me, as I’ve said before, because of health issues blah-di-blah. It’s also why I’m posting so often now – and drafting, making notes and planning other posts – because I can. This is actually very difficult for [...]
Brenna Yovanoff is one of my favourite new-found writers. I have always loved the Fantasy and Urban Fantasy genres, and I enjoy the YA entries into that pool. There are probably a couple of blurbs / reviews of Urban Fantasy / YA books on this blog. My Books Wish List has kind of exploded recently . [...]
LOTS more booksesss . . . Wheeeee!!! I finally finally finally made my long awaited Book Depository Order . It’s a mite overdue [like three months] due to annoying things like medical bills, and the electricity dying dramatically on a weekend, and the various house / plumbing leaks needing urgent professional attention, and work to be done [...]
[ On feeling like I’m becoming younger, more naïve, losing myself . . . YES !!! Time travel exists! ] I turned 42 some months back – yep, I am middle-aged [no grey hairs and hardly any wrinkles yet though]. I don’t feel it; but then, who really does feel their precise chronological age? Ask [...]
For my birthday my parents, brothers, and in-laws gave me money and gift cards to spend – very specifically – on fun stuff for myself. “Fun stuff” being girly stuff like make up and skin care. I was really excited and keen to get shopping as there were a number of items – as always! [...]
