    I learned that if you take a pizza box on public transport and then walk it the 15 minutes it takes to get from the station to your home, you get a lot more smiles than if you weren’t carrying a pizza box.

    Shockingly beautiful day in Sydney today. Really. From the workday window it was all rippling blue loveliness and appalling picture-perfectness. It really ticked me off. Speaking of. Lately I’ve been busy working full time and writing. The full-time work — though not to be in any way encouraged (whoever thought 5 days/week was a good…

    Today I had a chocolate bar. Which is not of interest in & of itself, except with relation to the fact that I rarely eat chocolate bars & don’t even remember the last time I ate a chocolate bar or what that chocolate bar might’ve been. But today I was tired enough that the charity…

    Hahaha, this Skribit business is already paying off, with a new suggestion received at other.blog today (thanks, Liz!). So: up next (soon-ish) will be Albert Camus. But first: Australia is BIG, people! See, I told you.

    Have been filling my site with all kinds of social media widgets lately (I mean the site over at deborahbiancotti.net, with attendant wordpress blog, in case you’re reading this in lj — which I haven’t gotten around to updating yet).

    Ahhhhh, January, welcome back. With the last precious few days of my holiday running out, I’m fighting off the organising-the-year blues (insurances, taxes, gym, house maintenance) & trying to make the most of what I gots while I gots it. “The measure of success is not whether you have a tough problem to deal with,…

    If, like me, you have limited space in your life, then perhaps you, too, are looking for ways to eliminate those nasty little disease-carrying lurgies called BOOKS! The roomfordebate blog shows you how. Says author Chang-rae Lee, “Anthologies of fiction and poetry that have “greatest” in the title; “best” is O.K., but “greatest” usually means…

    Dear Britain’s Got Talent Team, I will totally buy this woman’s album. What a cheeky, modest, confident display of talent. And to think she got all the way to 47 (unemployed, ‘but I’m still looking’) without the kind of fame that is likely about to descend upon her. I may break with tradition & actually…

    Snakes on a plane — for real. (So they say. Who trusts the mainstream media anymore?) Fumigated the little devils to death. Wouldn’t you just love to be on THAT plane now, eh? *cough* *cough* *gasp for breath*
