Welcome to the Antipodes. Tuesday, December 27, 2005. Quotation - the act of repeating erroneosly the words of another. I got the Times book of Quotations this Christmas, a book so mightly fine and tome-like I feel I must post a picture just to show you, as soon as I can be bothered taking one. It was my secret santa present from my Mum san. Anyway, here are a few quotes that I am particulary fond of:. Clifton Fadiman, (1904 - ). US Writer, editor and broadcaster. George Bernard Shaw (1856 - 1950). We we...

Welcome to the Antipodes. Friday, September 30, 2005. Welcome to the Antipodes! Say it twice and it'll be true both times. The above statement is literally correct in that I am Australian. This may help some, and probably leave 99% in the dark. Never fear, exposition is here! Literally translated, antipodes are. Points diametrically opposite to each other on the earth or any globe. Words will be saved and restored to their former glory. Words shall be invented. Wait / I can hardly. I like to play WITH wo...

Welcome to the Antipodes. Monday, November 28, 2005. Are you really Laughing Out Loud? Did you know that approximately 68% of the time, the use of LOL isn't accompanied by actual laughter? If you didn't, don't fret. I just made it up. Are you scandalised? Probably not so much if I told you that 47% of all statistics are useless, including this one. Oh, SNAP! Yet not "I'm laughing hysterically out loud" amusing. I see a void in online conversation acronyms. I feel it can only filled by -. But I shall move...

Welcome to the Antipodes. Saturday, October 29, 2005. Red squiggle THIS, Word. It may be just me, but when I’m barrelling along in Word, writing an email, or a blog entry, doing an assignment or, um, playing with the office assistant (Animate! The appearance of the red squiggly line under something I’ve misspelled in my haste is quite irritating. These so-badly-spelled-they-are-by-default-awesome red squiggled words need a name. I have given them one. Hey, look, I made a misphantel! Pop up’s shut down.

Welcome to the Antipodes. Sunday, February 05, 2006. Things I have done. You know, lately. At the Prince of Wales. Such a great gig - they really know how to work the stage, and Ninja added lyrics to almost all of the instrumental tracks on. Thunder, Lightning, Strike! Making them that much cooler. I'll forgive her name, only because she dressed as a cheerleader and did the craziest hip hop dancing I have ever seen. Wicked! And a MOUTH ORGAN. Got a beautiful new bookshelf, thanks to my dad who is the best.

Welcome to the Antipodes: Procrastination....my muse or my enemy?
http://welcometotheantipodes.blogspot.com/2005/11/procrastinationmy-muse-or-my-enemy.html
Welcome to the Antipodes. Sunday, November 27, 2005. Procrastination.my muse or my enemy? Now, having been on holidays for approximately five days*, an objective "man on the street* " would expect me to be blogging up a storm. I, too, thought this would be the case. But somehow, when I have no exam to be studying for or assignment to hand in, the motivation just falls away. Odd. Of the sisterly beings. Sister Superior. Can you tell she picked her own nickname? Such a retiring soul. Her name is Danae, or ...
