Waiting on Will Graham
Yes hurry up Hannibal. I am beyond impatient now. I am not just hungry for its return I am ravenous! I have genuinely missed Will Graham on my screen and walking around the darker parts of my mind. I feel like I need to go back and watch the last few episodes to get back… Continue Reading →

Nasty Nights or Sexy Sweats?
*Silicon Valley spoilers* I don’t know about anyone else, but I found Richard drenched in sweat somewhat appealing…Now before you start judging my already unhealthy obsession with a fictional TV character, I want to draw your attention to this fact – women have always been attracted to the dirty, sweaty, earthy types throughout the ages… Continue Reading →

Renege the negging and renegotiate
What else could the Pied Paper gang do? There’s nothing like a pending lawsuit with a major tech corporation (http://www.piedpiper.com/blog/2015/4/13/the-hooli-lawsuit)threatening the livelihood of your upstart and reputation to make you backtrack at the rate of a petaflop. On reflection, it would seem that ostracising the entire group of investors interested in Pied Piper was not… Continue Reading →

Entrepreneurial Erlich
If you ever wondered how to present yourself or a business strategy to the elitist companies of Silicon Valley – look no further. Last night’s return of HBO’s Silicon Valley saw Erlich Bachman demonstrate a refreshing approach on the art of effective persuasion and communication during a negotiation. I see his strategy in three parts… Continue Reading →

Elusive Englishmen?
“I lived in the UK for 7 years and never met any man who was anything like either Hugh Grant or Colin Firth” Heard this morning whilst walking to work. I actually had to stop walking and just take a moment to process that information and digest it adequately. What devastating news to hear at… Continue Reading →

The Liebster Award
This was a delightful shock – Tori has nominated me for a blog award (ta da) if you like reading and all things artsy/poppy over to her site and check it out. This award is the The Liebster Award. (Here I was thinking that only I read my verbal outbursts…) This award is meant to promote… Continue Reading →

Cougar Town Concluding
This does bring with it an element of sadness. One more episode to go and no more Cougar Town. It seems that all I have done in recent times to cope with a lot of my favourite TV shows ending. Let me tell you – it definitely takes its toll. I will miss my short… Continue Reading →

A Gem from Jessa
Jessa Johansson makes me recoil the most out of the GIRLS gang. It’s no secret that I think the character writing is phenomenal and we feel and react exactly how they intend for us to do so. I can’t really identify with Jessa in any way other than she is someone that wouldn’t even hit… Continue Reading →

The Walk(N)INg Dead
HAPPY HAPPY JOY JOY – remember Ren & Stimpy? Well I only bust that out on *special* occasions and I feel that The Walking Dead team have done it again. Wow if only I knew Aiden had such wonderful taste in music – gosh what a fun run mix! Nothing like hearing a bit of… Continue Reading →

Glenn and Gore Gratification
*Warning – The Walking Dead spoilers* Traumatised, distressed – pick a synonym any synonym along these lines and that will probably sum up how you are feeling after last night’s episode of The Walking Dead. Perhaps a new fear of revolving doors has suddenly developed? Firstly, I would like to address that my desensitisation levels… Continue Reading →

Shafts, Shocks & Shoshanna
*warning spoilers – if you aren’t up to date with TV – you should be* The latest episode of GIRLS has taught me what not to say on a date and has also given me a strange boost of optimism at the same time. Optism in terms of it seems that no matter just how… Continue Reading →

Coping with Copious Characters
I think I may be watching too much TV. I never thought I would verbalise those words or confirm them in writing but it appears I can’t escape the truth. You see, for a while now, things have been crossing over in the landscape of my TV shows – from actors,characters, to presidents and to… Continue Reading →

Strange Attractions in Silicon Valley
Take a look ladies – what a visual delight. (…or so I thought) Today I made a comment that was not well received at all. I am absolutely perplexed as to why others didn’t share the same viewpoint as me. I had all the irrefutable evidence I could come up with and still I couldn’t… Continue Reading →

Heartbreaking Haircuts
I have waited 4 seasons, yes 4, for Rick Grimes to develop the rugged, earthy, manly “ I’m fighting zombies and have no time for personal hygiene or nonsensical things like hair cuts” look to develop. I knew some type of group grooming was going to take place if only because the faux beard was… Continue Reading →

Cry Me A River in the Swamps of Sadness
Hey Julie London, Hey Justin Timberlake, Hey Parkway Drive – I just cried an OCEAN. Not a river, an ocean. How’s that for one upmanship? Oh dear. Note to self – no more watching Nicholas Sparks related movies.NO NO NO. There comes a point in life when you think SURELY you can’t cry anymore? Yes… Continue Reading →

I just wanted some chips…
This week has been particularly long, challenging and I am tired both physically and mentally. I just wanted to come home and have some me time. I am exhausted from extending myself all the time. It is Friday fun day, as I like to refer to it as. I wanted a treat, something small, not… Continue Reading →

RPG
A lot of people don’t really know that I love role playing computer games but I do, I really do. It is always interesting to watch people react to this and whatever preconceived judgements that they have of me. I am a woman of many facets people – don’t pigeon hole me! I love them… Continue Reading →

Let’s forget February…
Let’s forget February. I am not a fan of February at all. No, no I am not and here’s why… In Australia it is possibly on a climatic scale, the foulest of all months. It’s hot, no wait, it’s unbearably hot. It’s soooo hot that a lot of people can be seen sporting a tan I… Continue Reading →

Reminiscing over Robb Stark
*spoilers and not just from GOT* April is a going to be a good month, notably because it is my birthday month but more importantly is that Game of Thrones season 5 will be back on April 12. As that time draws closer I will no doubt be annoyingly caught humming the theme tune out… Continue Reading →

You’re such a dirty, dirty rockstar
Oh yes you are. Dirty, experimental, imaginative, terrifying, perspicacious, controversial and provocative. Our relationship is complicated. Aren’t they always? This week I will be seeing Marilyn Manson in concert for the 10th time. I am not really sure what to expect as my concert experience with him takes many twists turns, highs and lows. Expectations… Continue Reading →
