I’ve spent the vast majority of my evening procrastinating. I can afford to do this, at least for now, but whislt I know I can, and countless times before today have envied others for being able when I was not, this evening I started to get irritated. And procrastination that is also an irritation, is [...]

This post is dedicated to all the lost dogs. Everywhere.
It has been exactly one month, one week and a day since my little Phoenix went missing. My friends and family are well aware of the stories, trials, fits of tears. It happens, regularly, I am beginning to understand, and that is why I have decided [...]

I recently had the misfortune of viewing Baz Luhrmann’s Australia. I say, misfortune for two reasons; the first, like every one else apparently, I felt the film was probably Luhrmann’s worst yet, and possibly one of the greatest epic film failures of all time. The second reason is far more concerning; in amongst Nicole Kidman’s [...]

Recently, a friend of mine told me I should update my voicemail message, which is, currently; “Hi, you’ve reached Inga. Please leave you name and number and I’ll get back to as quick as I can. Have an excellent day! Bye, bye.”
He’s right, I should change it. It’s false. As he suggested it should perhaps [...]

I have recently returned from touring the beautiful island of Tasmania. I had the pleasure of being guest to two of my dearest friends, who, knowing my deep love and appreciation for things dirt cheap, dirty and any and all things made of paper, took me to the quaintest shop I’ve ever been in! The Tip [...]
Pagan, Polytheist, Hedonist

It’s pretty common knowledge amongst my nearest and dearest that I am no friend of the following: Christianity, Monotheism, and (surprisingly), Stoicism. Generally though, it is not my want to stand too far from any given fence when sharing with a more general readership. I’ve no wish to offend anyone, and all too aware that on the [...]

I am hazardous to say that I have been lack luster in regards to the Fine Art of Blogging, since I have been attending to a most important web-log for many months now quite regularly. To the detriment of my own perhaps, but to the aid of a far worthier cause than my misguided musings. [...]
Fascinating Indeed!

Yeah for me I am a student again! God Bless the internet is all I can say. The thought of walking into a university campus makes the blood run cold. It is so much easier to yawn through the boring comments online, than having to fain interest in person. ‘Whatever do you mean?’ you ask. [...]
Walk where you live

On the footpath I tread every morning and evening on my way to and from work there is immortalized in the concrete the insightful observation that where I live is a bronx. I say a bronx, mostly because I don’t live in The Bronx, I live in South Western Sydney. Anyone who has ever seen [...]

So I’m all hyper-connected, as previously discussed. I still get all my nearest and dearest whenever they happen to be available, playing at all manner of stupidity and sharing all necessary information on Facebook. And adding both Twitter and Bebo, and then linking all four of my online activities together has meant I’m getting more [...]
