Wanda:  I don’t get it Joders.  I’m confused.  You bought a few little things and that’s where we come in?  You’re talking in riddles woman!
Aliers:  You’re like a cryptic crossword Joders. No-one understands you!
Joders:  I know this is a lot to take in.  But I promise you’ll all understand once I’ve finished explaining.
Akeelers:  [...]

Happy Thanksgiving (do you really eat this stuff?)

I admit I don’t know much about Thanksgiving.  I know it’s the last Thursday in November,  it’s a public holiday, that most people gather with their family and friends, eat alot, watch football and (hopefully) give thanks for whatever they’re thankful they have.  Oh, and it usually signifies the start of the Christmas season.  I [...]

What??

I vaguely remember when I was a kid, maybe 5 years old, shopping with my mum at a small department store in Hunter Street, Newcastle.  And I vaguely recall that the store toilets were upstairs; that you had to climb a set of dark blue carpeted stairs to get there and the doors of the [...]

Something is irking me

Ok, yes, I know.  I’m very easily irked.
Take today for example.  I’m irked by the gale force wind.  It’s spring!  Not the middle of winter (even if 20cm of snow did get dumped on Thredbo)!  Where is the sunshine?  What about the lambs, the foals, the baby birdies?  The wind has blown it all away.  [...]

My Hugh

My Hugh just got voted People Magazine’s Sexiest Man Alive 2008.  And right they are.
Daners said she read that he got the gong because he was all buff in the epic Australia and dirty most of the time.
This was all I needed to hear to cause me to google those infamous shirtless pictures of Hugh [...]

And the winner is……

I don’t care too much for reality tv.  I can’t stand Survivor or The Amazing Race.  Big Brother is a load of bollocks.  So You Think You Can Dance is exhausting.  I only saw one series of American Idol before Australian Idol started.  And I only watch the pointy end of the competition on Australian [...]

OMG! I want a baby pygmy hippo!

This is Monifa, aged 3 weeks.  She is soooooo cute!  Since I can’t find a new pug puppy, I guess I’ll have a baby pygmy hippo instead.

Here We Go Again – The Storm Breaks (14)

1:50pm
Joders stands on the rear balcony of her top floor suite, gripping the railing, (she’s not good with heights), and waiting.
In the last few hours 8 planes have landed at LAX at approximately 15 minute intervals.  Jaded’s flight arrived first since she had to clear customs.  Each of the invitees have entered the arrivals area to [...]

Here We Go Again – The Calm before the Storm (13)

4pm
Joders opens the door the top floor suite she has been staying in prior to her US tour.  Her partner in crime is relaxing in a reclining chair, enjoying an alcoholic beverage.
Joders:  It must be 5 o’clock somewhere in the world, right?
Partner in Crime:  It’s close enough to 5 o’clock here, Joders.  Want [...]

Here We Go Again – California, here I come! (12)

11:15am
Joders has only one other person to visit before she heads home to ready herself for the big reveal.  She has left this one person until last because she knows that if this person has too much time to think about stuff, she can talk herself out of anything.
Joders pauses out the front [...]
