And so another week has flown by without an update. As mentioned, I am in the middle of a contracted project at the moment and am certainly not complaining: it’s a great opportunity, new environment, healthy pay and runs for another two months. What I didn’t expect was how quickly the days would pass!
I imagine […]
I have had a Zen-ful of life improvement tips on the internet. I cannot improve any more. I exercise, I reflect, I donate, I read, I hug trees and I drink chamomile tea while gazing peacefully over the hills and dales as a little stream bubbles near my feet.
It is time to throw off the […]
On a personal but slightly money-related note, I’ve found somewhere to live! In Wellington, New Zealand’s capital city and my old hometown, which I haven’t lived in for 12 years (since I finished high school). One of the advantages of living in Wellington is that it’s surrounded - almost - by the sea and is […]
I have just spent a day-and-half moving through the air, from San Francisco all the way to Auckland. You can read about the fun and games of long-distance flights and connections on Travel Minx.
But the main thing is, I’m back! I’m right in the middle of town and yet it looks so empty. There is […]
Well, maybe not ‘hugely exciting’ but I’ve been tagged by Chee for the ubiquitous 8 Things About Me meme. While it’s off-topic (what was my topic again..?) I always enjoy getting to know other bloggers better, so here are my 8 things.

I made it to San Francisco in one piece! I will write a proper account of the whole thing but of course that will have to be on my other site, Travel Minx. Here I’ll mention the money.
A few people have exclaimed, “A six hour flight! Whoa!” but really, that’s nothing. NZ to LA is […]
Dear New York,
It’s time for me to say goodbye now. It’s been two months, and you’re not exactly the cheapest city in the world. But I think we’ve had fun together. Remember that first day on the tour bus? The wind was freezing and made my nose ache, but the lights were flashing and you […]
Lazy Man has a post on this topic and it’s a good idea. However, my first reaction is to respond, “I wouldn’t say anything!” simply because I’ve seen Back to the Future and know what can happen when you start messing with the past.
But the exercise isn’t literal, it’s more a way to reflect on […]
Yesterday Cracked.com posted the funny-yet-serious article Welcome to Hell: A Real-World Guide for Graduates, which announces: “…unfortunately, contrary to what your self-important professors would have you believe, there isn’t exactly a huge demand for people with a degree in 17th century Dutch artists in the real world.” It then goes on to welcome the unsuspecting […]
