Brown. Paper. Bag.: And the man said, "Racism is in our DNA"

http://passthebrownpaperbag.blogspot.com/2011/03/and-man-said-racism-is-in-our-dna.html

Brown Paper. Bag. Wednesday, March 30, 2011. And the man said, "Racism is in our DNA". Australia’s Race Discrimination minister, Graeme Innes, said, “Racism is an inevitable part of society and it’s almost part of our DNA,” last week when he spoke of a project to improve relations between the police force and Muslim communities. There were millions of alarms bells clanging loudly in my mind when I heard this new piece. And I have two major concerns. One So, racism is almost part of our DNA? Two If we nee...

Brown. Paper. Bag.: May 2010

Brown Paper. Bag. Sunday, May 30, 2010. The opposable thumb theory. It's a little Bridget Jones, but.9234 steps and an awesome yoga session. But somehow managed to consumer 400 sausage rolls and imbibe 600 litres of wine. We all took a giant inward breath. Eek. When I mentioned this theory to my friend last night as a potential strategy to employ next time she speaks with her manager she asked, "how do you do that? Posted by Ms Miserly.

Brown. Paper. Bag.: November 2010

http://passthebrownpaperbag.blogspot.com/2010_11_01_archive.html

Brown Paper. Bag. Sunday, November 28, 2010. This is something I wrote one night before I fell asleep. It’s not my life. It’s an amalgam of some of the women I know and have known and things they’ve (we’ve) felt. It was spawned, undoubtedly, by Portia De Rossi and her coming out of the anorexic kitchen (so to speak). 8220;Okay, okay, calm blue ocean,” she huffed to herself. “So if I go to the gym for four hours tomorrow and eat only apples, this will be fine, right? Empty of any more tears with a sore bo...

Brown. Paper. Bag.: April 2011

http://passthebrownpaperbag.blogspot.com/2011_04_01_archive.html

Brown Paper. Bag. Friday, April 22, 2011. Me, Fry and cigarettes. We sat in the “Great Court”, surrounded by what we imagined to be sandstone buildings, but in actual fact was merely cladding over ordinary boring standard bricks. There was an element of pride sitting outside the cafe at this great university. Of course we sullied it with our language and our cigarette butts, but that doesn't mean we didn't appreciate how beautiful our surrounds were. Cigarettes introduced me to people I would have never ...

Brown. Paper. Bag.: October 2010

http://passthebrownpaperbag.blogspot.com/2010_10_01_archive.html

Brown Paper. Bag. Friday, October 8, 2010. What came first the stereotype or the people to fill the stereotype? Sales aren’t being met. “It’s the marketing”, so the sales team yells from their speeding, finger pointing, bandwagon. Recently, I sat, swiveling in a purple chair in an otherwiise all white advertising agency “think” room where a presentation was blast at me, full of research about women. According to this research, women filled eight categories. We are either: Bold, Confident, Composed, G...

Brown Paper. Bag. Wednesday, February 17, 2010. What's a brown. Paper. Bag. about? Brown paper bags are useful in so many varied ways. 1 They carry groceries in the U.S. 2 You can pack your lunch in them, if you believe in spending money on sandwhich bags, unlike me who prefers to use the bags I put my fruit in from woolworths. 3 Useful in times of flight turbulence. 4 Help one breathe when one is hyperventilating.

http://passthebrownpaperbag.blogspot.com/2011_02_01_archive.html

Brown Paper. Bag. Thursday, February 24, 2011. There’s a whole hole in my brain. I’m sure of it, simply because information, data, instructions, to-do lists, fast facts, quick quips, punctuation, spelling, all fall through the giant, gaping hole in my brain. I am unable to remember the basic of things. I walk into my wardrobe then out again meaning to tell LSH some salient point only to have it vanish, just as quickly as it appeared. 8220;You’re going to throw up here? 8221; he asked. 8220;Okay then,&#82...

Brown Paper. Bag. Monday, December 13, 2010. A day of Facebook updates. 8220;Marbles loves it when the alarm goes off in the morning and she throws a lazy, tired arm across LSH’s chest for five minutes of snoozing, before taking the dog for a walk. 8220;Marbles smiles widely at her dog who walks like a crazed lunatic. 8220; …Tunes out in most meetings and really rather likes the smell of nikko and petrol. She wonders if tuning out and sniffing toxins are related? 8220;…also finds herself getting cr...

Brown. Paper. Bag.: Lost in execution

http://passthebrownpaperbag.blogspot.com/2011/04/lost-in-execution.html

Brown Paper. Bag. Sunday, April 10, 2011. You would have noticed that my last post departed from the usual style and focused on something other than the first person stuff I’ve been banging on with. I’ll probably do that from time to time as I am so frequently outraged by some numpty or other in the news, I may as well share my opinion with you too! However, today we go back to my usual banging on. 8220;I know,” he said, “she’s only interested in the porch.”. Is my knee a porch? 8220;It’s porch&#46...
