There was a report on Melbourne Minutes that was basically just listing all the things that people say will give you health problems in the future. There was the sun of course, mobile phones, maple flavoured bacon, a very specific brand of chocolate buttons…um…it was very long and very silly. But now, they say, there …
There are plenty of people interested in caring for the environment, but only a few interested in caring for the environment, you get me? Like, you can join in a protest against global warming and/or climate change, you can make sure you recycle diligently, but most people don’t think to do anything as radical as …
The best part of reality TV is that you learn something about the world around you. It might not be a documentary, strictly speaking, but it truly does teach life lessons. Like how in the latest episode of Lizard Lair I learned that a toaster than can sing one of seventy fun showtunes and act …
Elsa has been hassling me again about wanting to make over her room. I’ve had my reservations about it because she’s so prone to changing her mind, and I don’t want to shell out a bunch of cash for something she’s not going to want to live with in six months. But she’s been going …
You’d think being trapped in a virtual world would be great fun. That, or really dull, what with all of it just being code and whatnot. I haven’t seen Word-Art Online, the show about the people who get stuck inside a Word document, but I certainly know of it. It has virtual reality hijinks, just …
I was a cautious child. I remember that specifically, because when I became old enough to understand the lyrics to ‘Santa Claus is Coming to Town’ I immediately did a sweep of my room to locate the cameras, set up some of my own to monitor the chimney and covered the fireplace in barbed wire. …
I think about it a lot, though. Just the other day I got a call for some people down in Berwick, pest control was on their mind. Such is my job, I had to find them a really good pest control company. Property management and all that. But suddenly all these memories came rushing back, because …
It’s that time of the year again: all the Christmas specials are airing. Really helps me to get into the Christmas spirit, especially when the shows are about moving home and they make it all…festive. One of my favourites since they started airing the re-runs from Melbourne is Escape to the Country, perhaps because a …
Anyway, now that Dinki-Dai-Animation exists, here in Melbourne no less, the Christmas specials are rolling in. Pretty Car Dealer Sailor Hoon just had a special episode where she had to choose between delivering presents or a major street race (she did both simultaneously), Cute Guardian Aluminium Knight! had an hour-long special with the kingdom under …
I know there are ‘better’ things to watch on TV than renovation shows. Like, I get it…I could watch a documentary on how tissues are made, or one of those shows where you watch the life-cycle of a frog from birth to when it gets eaten by a pelican, but I’m not totally convinced that’s …
