It is I, Georgina Glass. Sometimes I long for the quiet life. That’s a sentiment I never, ever, ever had back home, where in fact my thoughts were the exact opposite. Nothing ever happened there, so I spent my childhood and teenage years relatively safe but kinda bored. And now I’m in Melbourne, and it’s …
I have this recurring nightmare, right. It involves me driving my car at high speed, trying to slow down, and realising that pressing the brake pedal makes me speed up – and there’s no way of slowing down. The car just goes faster and faster. Deep analysis aside, I reckon there might be a straightforward …
I was so out of the loop that I couldn’t have even explained to a kid what a tesla powerwall did. Receiving the electricity bill for this seasons’ usage was a lot different from this time two years ago, after we decided to have our Melbourne fresh produce shop fitted out with solar power energy. But …
Lack of regular tree culling in Melbourne is causing havoc in inner suburbs, as roots have caused several historic buildings to collapse. Residents of Melbourne’s inner suburbs have described the horror felt when a seemingly stable church was found to have collapsed during Saturday night. Founded in 1905, the church still held Sunday services and …
They say that your twenties are the best time of your life. But that’s not true when you’re stuck at uni. Okay there are tonnes of fun things about university, like the friendships you make and the parties. The studying however is very rough. They teach you coping methods like taking breaks and doing exercise, …
It is I, Georgina Glass, and I keep thinking I’ve got this whole ‘Australia’ thing down. Alas, I keep getting proved wrong, in many areas. I’m like 90% sure that Macca’s refers to the fast food restaurant, and a drop-kick is a person who isn’t too smart. But then we get to the more sophisticated …
Best. Concert. EVER. That would pretty much sum up my review, but the magazine is paying me by the word, so whatever. This will be edited out, for sure. This massive concert has been going on in the bay area every year for…ages. I guess I’ll look up when it began later. Pretty cool how …
I’ve been tasked with organising my family’s new year’s get-together. Ordinarily, this would be mildly to my displeasure – personally, I’m not that into the whole thing. But this year, I’m feeling kind of into it. Why? Because I’m also in charge of organising the annual meet-up for the archaeology club that I’m a member …
My neighbour just been recounting the saga of the cockroach problem that’s been going down in her house. She was almost in tears of relief about finally getting it under control. Apparently, it had started on her back porch, and she hadn’t paid much attention, but pretty soon it had expanded into her kitchen. This …
The fig tree in my mum’s front yard is getting out of hand. It seems to be in great health and it definitely isn’t skimping on the fruit production front – at the moment, it’s putting out edible figs galore. Unfortunately, almost all of these are being either half eaten by birds and bats (with …
