chocolate cake: October 2010
http://catherine-hall.blogspot.com/2010_10_01_archive.html
Wednesday, October 27, 2010. For several days I had a headache that felt like the Lord was having a cheeky smite at my frontal lobe and couldn’t read, so I spent the time dreaming on and off that I was losing to Barak Obama in various Survivor challenges. And then when I woke up I’d replay it in my head so I won, and then he’d let me interview him, and then we’d make out. Having trouble COMMITTING are you? Struggling with the RESPONSIBILITY of signing up for this? Pregnant girlfriend: Gosh, why? And then...

chocolate cake: July 2011
http://catherine-hall.blogspot.com/2011_07_01_archive.html
Wednesday, July 20, 2011. Want to look dead and hang out with Kanye? There's been a lot of hoo-ha over Kanye West's video for his song. I'll be the first to admit that rap is not the aspect of popular culture I'm most familiar with, and clearly neither is language because according to Cleo, "hoo-ha" is a colloquialism for "vagina". But it gets better. Because Kanye West released a special message for people to read before they watch the video, a bit like how in year eight the health teacher said, "No...

chocolate cake: So.
http://catherine-hall.blogspot.com/2011/04/so.html
Wednesday, April 27, 2011. I haven't written anything for this blog for a while. I started uni and was in a comedy festival show around the same time, and decided to take a few months to focus on those and generate some humiliating and whimsical experiences to write about. And also, because I was dumped and fell into a spiral of anxiety and grief and didn't feel like EVER LAUGHING AGAIN. But mostly it was uni. So, the nice guy I'd found a while ago didn't last long. Which sounds like I ate him. Nothing t...

chocolate cake: May 2010
http://catherine-hall.blogspot.com/2010_05_01_archive.html
Sunday, May 30, 2010. I’ve had several rejection incidents over the last few years, because. A) I get carried away and confuse a crush with wanting to have someone’s babies and spending the rest of my life shaving his feet on the couch with a Ped Egg. B) I’m a dramatic dorkasaurus and can’t just like someone, I have to DECLARE it like a banana at the South Australian border. I get that. Show me yours.”. Oh no wait. I’m thinking of The Prince of Egypt. Saturday, May 22, 2010. Catherine goes to Sydney.

chocolate cake: June 2010
http://catherine-hall.blogspot.com/2010_06_01_archive.html
Tuesday, June 29, 2010. Catherine anticipates the Age of Binge. Yesterday I was making beds at Target (because I work there) and started thinking about how I don’t want to do this for the rest of my life, and aside from careers, what if nothing I want happens, like I never meet someone to contribute to the makery of my offspring? What if my life is thrown completely off track by an accident, like accidentally eating cake until my feet snap off? My life now is nothing like I imagined, but it’s alrig...

chocolate cake: Catherine and the face paint
http://catherine-hall.blogspot.com/2010/11/catherine-and-face-paint.html
Monday, November 15, 2010. Catherine and the face paint. My problem is the reason I wear makeup. In all honesty, it’s because I feel like I’m not pretty enough without it. (I’m not fishing for compliments. But if giving me one would make you feel good I’m certainly not going to stop you, and what kind of Nazi would I be if I didn’t let you bake me a carrot cake?

chocolate cake: Catherine and the rollercoaster
http://catherine-hall.blogspot.com/2011/01/catherine-and-rollercoaster.html
Sunday, January 30, 2011. Catherine and the rollercoaster. So I’d never been on a rollercoaster, until recently when I was lined up at Luna Park behind an elderly lady who clearly wasn’t tall enough for the ride, which is sad because she probably used to be but old people shrink a bit every week as their faith in humanity drains away. He had vouchers for tickets. I’d been running out of things we could do together for free. The night before, I’d tried writing a list. 8226; Tell each other about our day.

chocolate cake: July 2010
http://catherine-hall.blogspot.com/2010_07_01_archive.html
Tuesday, July 27, 2010. Catherine has a tumour pressing against the part of her brain that makes you want kids. I’ve managed to deal with the busyness without making any huge mistakes so far, but that’s not to say I haven’t embarrassed myself. Customer: Excuse me, where is butt man? Me: I’m sorry? Customer: Butt man. I want to see it. Me: are you joking? Customer: Can you show me butt man? Me: I don’t understand what’s happening. Are you hitting on me? Customer: I’m from Noo Zeelind.
