Let’s look in Joders’ Library

My library is literally the first room that you see when you stand in my entry.  Here, have a look for yourself.

I’d love to be able to say that I’ve spent many hours curled up on the chaise lounge devouring a good book or six.  However I haven’t had much time for relaxing over the [...]

Knowing Me, Knowing You (Part IV)

Ok, I really need to stop doing these.  Really.  But I can’t seem to stop.  I think there’s something wrong with me.  Even worse, I’ve found a site full of the damn things.
What’s your name spelt backwards?  Sredoj or Eidoj or Orue
What did you do last night?  Watched Make Me a Supermodel and The Ghost [...]

Knowing Me, Knowing You (Part III)

Ok, this is the last one.  I promise!  I told you I was bored!
1  Any nickname?  Most derivates of Jodie and Euro ( a long and very boring story)
2.  Favorite drink?  Chai latte and ice water on a hot day
3.  Mother’s name?  Mum
4.  Tattoo?  I already told you this.  I have an ex boyfriend’s name on [...]

Knowing Me, Knowing You (Part II)

Another one of these survey thingys did the rounds at work today, so I thought I’d do this one as well.  I’m still bored.
Gone on a blind date  Yep
Skipped school  Yep
Watched someone die  Sort of
Been to Europe  No – was planning on a grand Euro vacation in 2010.
Been to USA  Yep
Been on a plane  No, [...]

This is Me!!

My whole life I’ve never been able to concentrate on just one thing at a time.  Hell I’ve never been able to concentrate full stop.  I’m all the time distracted by pretty, sparkly, shiny things.  My brain is thinking about 4 things at once and my eyes are watching something altogether entirely different and I’m [...]

Spring time and Joders’ thoughts turn to…..

Buying a pair of swimmers.  I haven’t actually owned a swimsuit for 15 years.  For a variety of reasons.  I don’t swim for a start.  Water deeper than my waist scares the bejesus out of me.  It makes me feel like I’m suffocating.  I hyperventilate and find it necessary to remove myself from the water [...]

Knowing me, knowing you (ah-haa)

Daners sent this survey to me (and others) and told me she’d cry if I didn’t do it.  Since I didn’t want to be the cause of a teary Daners I played along and emailed it back.
But I’m bored so I figured I’d post it here.  And I’ve made a couple of teeny, tiny changes.
 Ok [...]

God Help Me!

Someone, somewhere, about 2 streets away (though it sound as if it’s just next door!) is having a bloody karaoke birthday party.  And none of the guests can sing in key.
Oh God!  How will I ever get to sleep?

This should prove it to you Wanda

A few days ago my good friend Wanda suggested that I am not in fact an Australian, that Joders is probably not my real name and that I have been making up Kangaroo stories to entertain my gullible American mates.
She called me a fraud.  Even worse than that….she suggested I actually live in Noo Joisey!
Wanda said that [...]

And I thought nothing exciting ever happened to me

When I first happened across the road block yesterday morning at 6:40am when I was on my way to work my first thought was “how bloody inconvenient!”.
You see my suburb (let’s call it Midvale – thank you Gary Larson) has 2 main roads.  Let’s call them Main Rd East and Main Rd West.
I live closest [...]
