My face goes slack, I feel my body sinking and locking and I try to shake myself. It happens lightning-quick, this loss of control. [...] HELP! I'm screaming, SHAKE ME! But I can't speak.

How to Be a Minimalist in Mauritius – D. K. Waye
As much as I have accumulated a lot of stuff throughout the course of my life (mostly books and DVDs), I don't actually spend my pay-check on everything I couldn't easily afford last month, nor do I ever feel like a 'day of shopping' is a day of fun. It's a day of wasted time,… Continue reading How to Be a Minimalist in Mauritius – D. K. Waye
Getting Published: part…six?
Don't agree to everything your agent says. Soooooo... Last time I updated, my agent Suresh and I were talking about THE ENDING of my novel. And we talked for nearly two months about the bloody ending. For the first time, I just couldn't accept the changes he wanted me to make, full stop. Originally, I'd… Continue reading Getting Published: part…six?
A World Where Our Family Must Die
The purpose of the Thai commercial embedded below is for a communication technology that is hoped to improve living conditions across Thailand. However, when I watched it, as a UK citizen who only has to pay about £11 tax for unlimited health care, this ad made me appreciate the NHS even more. Watch the commercial… Continue reading A World Where Our Family Must Die
The Week in Recipes: oh hiya
I'm back from Turkey by about a week and, wow, food wise, last week was a shambles. To be fair, we were mostly too tired and immediately too busy to even care about shopping for the week. Two days back from Turkey, I went for an appointment with an adorable nutritionist. As someone with fibromyalgia that… Continue reading The Week in Recipes: oh hiya
The Week in Recipes: no money
We're heading to Turkey today, but while I've got five minutes spare I thought I'd whap up the food post I didn't do yesterday, I know you're dying to see what this week's millennial diet consisted of. Also, don't worry about the cat, she's going to be loved and looked after by my siblings, yaay! Tuesday Mushroom… Continue reading The Week in Recipes: no money
Getting Published Feelings of EXTREME ANXIETY
That's all I've really got to say right now. Especially his face.
The Week in Recipes: so cheap, much eat
We ate so cheap, and yet we discovered two new favourites. I barely contained myself from eating all the leftovers that usually become next day's lunch. We also kind of cheated on Monday, since Aaron's parents have gone away for an extended period of time and told us to take anything perishable in the fridge. Well. If… Continue reading The Week in Recipes: so cheap, much eat
The Week in Recipes: I need to accept this food theme, don’t I?
You know you're blog is spiralling beyond control when a customer comes into work and says, "I didn't know you had a food blog!" Aha. Yup. For now. Today I was so stressed about my agent's fluctuating feedback on the ending of my novel, I ate nothing but chocolate and pancakes as I awaited his… Continue reading The Week in Recipes: I need to accept this food theme, don’t I?
The Week in Recipes: I swear this isn’t a food blog
I am in fact working on a blog along the lines of: 'what would a matriarchal society actually look like' based on my frustration with the game franchise Mass Effect and their lazy alien race the asari. But Life has been busy, full of late night trips on the motorway with ballet tickets won in a raffle, loooooong… Continue reading The Week in Recipes: I swear this isn’t a food blog
The Week in Recipes: gosh I eat out of bowls a lot
Welcome back to cooking with two lazy cheapskates, where cooking can be easy as sneezing, tasty as gourmet, and within budget of a sinking economy. We still haven't quite grasped a "theme" week, where we taste culinary delights from mostly one part of the world, but we used up everything in the fridge again and… Continue reading The Week in Recipes: gosh I eat out of bowls a lot
All Female Japanese Ghostbusters
Meet Japan's plus-size model: Naomi Watanabe. She looks like the first person you should take to a party and the one person who'd maybe cheer you up during the apocalypse. Her mission: to break Japanese stereotypes about women being slim and demure. In fact, she's done a hell of a lot. Not only is she… Continue reading All Female Japanese Ghostbusters
The Week in RecipesÂ
Welcome to cooking with a student and a poor writer, neither of whom can be arsed with recipes that have more than four steps.
If You Say You Don’t Collect, I Won’t Believe You!
I'm pretty sure the majority of us collect something. Ranging from software, hardware, fine china, yards of fabric, pillows, plushies, or books - there's a collector in all of us. Some people are pretty adamant that they don't collect anything, but the harder they think, sometimes they start to realise that, actually, oh shit...I Collect A… Continue reading If You Say You Don’t Collect, I Won’t Believe You!
Martian Language is Already Being Developed!
Nagin Cox is a first-generation Martian. As a spacecraft engineer at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Cox works on the team that manages the United States' rovers on Mars. But working a 9-to-5 on another planet — whose day is 40 minutes longer than Earth's — has particular, often comical challenges. | Ted Official Who doesn't… Continue reading Martian Language is Already Being Developed!
