Ramblings that I refuse to call ramblings

imbi01 — Wed, 20 Mar 2013 07:06:32 +0000

If I didn’t hate the word ‘ramblings’ so much when applied to writing, I’d call the following links ramblings. But I won’t. Because I’m an arsehole like that.

Here’s some stuff I said somewhere other than here:

The mighty keyboard - Watch yourself: I’ve discovered on-line complaint forms.

What-The-Fuck-Dot-Com - A post about a photo of a woman breastfeeding dogs… and other web-based adventures.

Shitting where you eat - Sometimes revenge is a dish best served in a toilet.

Spectacular! - Choosing new glasses when you can’t wear your glasses to choose them is only the beginning…

Dear readers,

You’ll be pleased to know I’ve been exercising my writing muscles on a range of topics over at ‘In The Powder Room’ including:

MENSTRUATION 101
All the things I wish I hadn’t had to learn the hard way.

Ten ways my kids annoy the shit out of me
Kids. Gotta love ‘em… or do you? Well, yes, of course you do… but then again…

Simple systems for everyday life
For every domestic problem, there is a solution: wine.

Love,

The NDM

People say I’ve dropped off the face of the earth. Turns out the bowels of the earth still has a great internet connection.

Here are some of the pieces I’ve been writing elsewhere lately:

Santa’s Bitch – I don’t know about you but I’m sick of covering Santa’s arse and letting him get all the glory.

Surviving December: Five Top Tips – “Stick to white spirits… They stain less when spilt” and other sage advice for getting through the silly season.

My Five Fantasy Washing Machine Settings – I’m revolutionising laundry, one cycle setting at a time.

Melissa Who? – I always thought Melissa George was that girl from E-Street who sang ‘Read My Lips’. Apparently I was wrong.

Back to school? BACK TO SCHOOL? I’LL GIVE YOU BACK TO SCHOOL!

Some crazy people in the US asked me to write a ‘back to school’ post. As an Australian parent trudging out of winter towards the end of term 3, I laughed. My, how I laughed. And then, when I stopped laughing (and then crying some), I wrote this post over at ‘In The Powder Room’.

Oh, and I’ve also been up to all different shades of no good over at JustB Australia.

Everywhere but here…

Over at JustB Australia, I’ve been getting a few things off my chest, including what’s in my vegetable ‘crisper’ (oh, the humanity!) and whether or not I should buy a Thermomix or just love the kitchen appliances I’m with.

Oh, and I also whipped up a beginner’s guide to ‘Twitterquette‘ (Twitter Etiquette).

Is there no stopping me?

Apparently not.
