I had Vietnamese pho today for lunch. And wine.
Enviously watching Vietnamese women elegantly eating the soup with chopsticks and a spoon while animatedly arguing about something.
I eat it western-style, like a pasta dish and with a fork. Still it splatters everywhere. And there was wine. Which always makes me want more wine.
Now I am settled on the couch with the vague hint of chilli and cinnamon on my breath.
Terminally tired. From … Continue Reading
I thought I’d post an update on what’s been going on with me. Mundane superficial updates totally count as quality blog posts, right? Of course they do!

It’s the millions of little things that make it such a daunting task.
That and the overwhelming urge to do … Continue Reading

Wonder Woman is glorious. Glorious.
That is the perfect word for how I felt watching it. I cried, I laughed, I loved it.
It’s glorious in a way that makes me so very happy. The central character, the supporting cast, the Amazons (oh my god, the Amazons!), the movie as a whole.
I don’t review movies here, that’s not what this blog is for, but I talked about Furiosa for the same … Continue Reading
This random list came out of a little game on Twitter (you follow me on the Twitter, right? Of course you do! Then you know all of this already…).
