Childhood Shenanigans

Some things are not so good at the moment.  First of all, I read the the paper that Hugh Hefner's ex spoke about their life between the sheets, and said he lasted, 'like, two seconds.'  Hey, he lasted.  I thought only arteries got hard in men his age.  But it gave me a visual I just really did not need.  And neither did you, reader, and for that I apologise.

 

My uncle is sick, and gravely so.  I visited him yesterday, and stayed with my father and his sister.  But what was…

You're a Wonder, Wonder Woman

Just a quick random musing before I lay me down to sleep (it's almost 11.00pm here in Australia).  I've had it brought to my attention that yesterday was the birthday of actress Lynda Carter, aka Wonder Woman in the 1970s television show.  She was, and still is, one gorgeous broad.  Does anybody else think that Major Steve Trevor, WW's love interest, must be one of the stupidest men alive?  By this I mean Diana Prince (I forget her ranking) would always contact Wonder Woman (from memory),…

The Concerts Of My Misspent Youth

I'm a member of a Facebook page that is dedicated to songs, and every day we have a theme and post a song pertaining to that theme.  It's always fun when we have a theme about songs we can't stand!  Today, we posting songs from bands we have seen in concert.  It got me thinking about some concerts I attended many years ago.  My cousin took me to see an Aussie band at a North Sydney nightclub.  I won't say the name of the band, but I will say that they encapsulated to me all that was wrong…

Movie Lines that have infuriated me

Just thought I might write about some crap movie lines, or movie lines that have just made me want to throw my popcorn at the screen.  This is bizarre; I don't like popcorn, so won't buy it.  It's probably the popcorn of the poor spectator sitting next to me that I will seize and throw with force at the screen.

 

1.  'Life is like a box of chocolates; you never know what you're gonna get' by the titular character of the nausea-inducing 'Forrest Gump'.  Every box of chocolates I…

The Way We Read Nowadays

I'm an old-fashioned type of gal.  I like to read a book the physical way.  I love the feel of a book between my hands, and the smell of the pages when it's brand new.  A bit like the way people go wondrous over the smell of a new car.  I probably won't read an e-book.  But I have just signed a contract with my publishers Zeus Publications for my two novels to be published in e-book form, as well as the old fashioned way they are already available.  There's definitely a market for it, ie,…
