My cup of tea: March 2011

http://mycupoftea-mybrew.blogspot.com/2011_03_01_archive.html

My cup of tea. Tuesday, March 15, 2011. Learning, always learning . It has been an interesting, busy couple of weeks getting started at university doing my post-grad studies (in writing, editing and publishing) and really getting my freelance work underway. I have put up a website for my new venture at http:/ www.write-now.com.au/. And it already seems to be paying dividends. Hooray for that! At the moment I am working my way through the abstracts and giving them a bit of a tidy up prior to going to publ...

My cup of tea: In the eye of the flood

http://mycupoftea-mybrew.blogspot.com/2011/01/in-eye-of-flood.html

My cup of tea. Tuesday, January 18, 2011. In the eye of the flood. There is no need to recount the events of the last week in. On a wet, rainy Monday as a wall of water tore through Toowoomba to the west of the capital. There were forecasts that. On Tuesday morning something interesting started to happen. People started nattering to each other and telling their stories. Down came the usual reservations and people conversed freely. I wrote the following on my Facebook page:. 8220;Have you heard? The predi...

My cup of tea: A tale of two eateries

http://mycupoftea-mybrew.blogspot.com/2011/02/tale-of-two-eateries.html

My cup of tea. Sunday, February 6, 2011. A tale of two eateries. As readers of this blog will know I like to give a bit of a critique when I go out for lunch or coffee. Recently I have been travelling up to Noosa fairly frequently as my father is quite sick. I like to go out with Mum to get her out of the house and give her a bit of a break. This review is a tale of two eateries: one on the expensive Hastings Street beach front strip and the other at. But when we returned a week ago with my youngest daug...

My cup of tea: Camaraderie among the wordsmiths

http://mycupoftea-mybrew.blogspot.com/2011/03/camaraderie-among-wordsmiths.html

My cup of tea. Wednesday, March 2, 2011. Camaraderie among the wordsmiths. Yesterday I had my first lecture as part of the Writing, Editing and Publishing course I am undertaking at the. I have enrolled to do a Graduate Diploma but depending on the time and tides I may well carry on and complete my Masters. 8217;s commentariat now but I wanted to reach out and do more with the written word. After our first lecture last night many of us decamped to. And camaraderie there definitely was. I sat chatting...

Ranting, Practised: Pwnt

http://justtheoddrant.blogspot.com/2008/06/pwnt.html

An attempt to make a cohesive argument against things that should annoy everyone. Monday, June 2, 2008. You, News Ltd, have been pwnt. As of now, they haven't even tried to print/post a correction. Kate McCulloch is an opponent. Of a Muslim school in Camden, Sydney, and was labelled/claimed to be the new Pauline Hanson. Not only did Hanson hang up when contacted (she doesn't want much to do with this? Surprise.), but McCulloch has also been slapped down. The Macarthurs will be proud of us.

Rapturous Thinking: Acting Locally

http://rapturousthinking.blogspot.com/2009/08/acting-locally.html

The first attempts of Feral Sparrowhawk to build an online nest, after testing his wings around other blogs. Mostly on politics from the perspective of an Australian Green, but some more personal matters to come. Saturday, August 22, 2009. It’s all very inspiring in the way many films try to be, while being true and real and not-faked up at all. I think it also provides an indication of how some of the problems we often see as intractable are anything but, if we can only find the right triggers for action.

Rapturous Thinking: Misreading the By-elections

http://rapturousthinking.blogspot.com/2009/12/misreading-by-elections.html

The first attempts of Feral Sparrowhawk to build an online nest, after testing his wings around other blogs. Mostly on politics from the perspective of an Australian Green, but some more personal matters to come. Monday, December 7, 2009. One of the odd things about the post-mortems written on the Higgins and Bradfield by-elections is the common assumption that the starting point for the Greens should be the combination of the Green and Labor votes in 2007. In Warringah in 1993 the ALP and Democrats comb...
