Do occupy wall street protests represent your views economy?
They allow you to reload and re-vote.
Re-vote often. I think that’s how the right wing has their view in the lead.
I am Desperately Out of Shape
So I thought this morning, “I have to go to the chemists’. I’ll kill two birds with one stone and take the dog for a walk at the same time.”
Bad. Idea.
1) It was stinking hot
2) We both needed a drink by the halfway point
3) I forgot to bring water and drink containers
4) The best I could do for a hitching post was snagging the leash around an awning upright
5) Despite the
Minties and Fanta.
I’ve been asked about this, before. Primarily, I have been asked, “what the hell is a Mintie?”
Minties must be unique to Australia.
They’re a brand-name individually-wrapped sweet put out by Allans’ lollies. They look like a very small fire lighter cube and taste like an explosion of mint. Chewing them is like trying to bite through a half-frozen sausage. Don’t try it if you have temporary fillings.
Fanta is everywhere. Get the

Come on Hasbros
Your show, and its associated toy line, My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic have been out for more than a year.
Selling stuff to girls should be important to you.
Not just important-in-america-important. Globally important.
You are doubtless aware that your show has gone viral. You know that people everywhere are clamouring for your product.
I, personally, would love to own legal copies of the show. And give legal copies to my friends and family.
Alas, that cannot be.
Just like the

The world - especially the Fox-News-ignorant world - needs to see that military grade pepper spray is not as harmless as this brainless bint would have you believe.

Australia
When the shearing sheds are silent and the stock camps fallen quiet
When the gidgee coals no longer glow across the outback night
And the bush is forced to hang a sign, ‘Gone broke and won’t be back’
And spirits fear to find a way beyond the beaten track
When harvesters stand derelict upon the wind swept plains
And brave hearts pin their hopes no more on chance of loving rains
When a hundred outback settlements are
Who's Your Favourite?
It’s inevitable, really.
The instant you mention you like My Little Pony, you get asked “Who’s your favourite?”
Isn’t it okay to love them all?
I don’t choose favourites. The things I love, I love equally as much. Love is a fountain that never diminishes, to me. It should be shared as such.
Which is why my imaginary harem contains a shapeshifter, a giant purple talking crab thing, and three different versions

Not on the scale of ratsak for sugar. No. It was round-up. On weeds.
How can that poison people, you ask.
These were weeds on the fence that we’re fixing up so the dog can’t get through. Hubby told me to go spritz the weeds along the fence line, so I did. Fast forward a few minutes and Hubby and Brother-in-law have now decided to go whipper-snip the back fence and pull all the weeds out.
The last

The hound, by daylight known as Max, loves rounding up our neighbour’s cows. I’m pretty certain that the neighbours feel less than charitable about that.
Another neighbour dislikes Max barking at the cows, the birds, etc. while he’s on his leash and has complained. Twice. I’m sure he has a few names for the dog that aren’t printable.
So in order to keep both neighbours happy, we have been attempting to fix

I usually refer to the Great Christmas Shopping Push from October to December as “Cashmas”. It isn’t the slightest bit about celebrating the holiday season, it’s about getting your money.
Buy a tree. Buy decorations. Spend a fortune on rellos you hardly ever see because it’s that time of year and you have to show them you care and why not use that credit card until it smokes?
Yeah. How about fuck off?

Lies, Damn Lies, and Statistics
Someone, somewhere, theorised that we spend half our lives waiting for something to happen.
Be that in a queue or in waiting rooms, or sitting around and waiting for someone in power to get the thumb out of their divot and get things done.
I, currently, have wasted half my day waiting for the men of the house to get their hairy arses into gear so we can finally finish fixing that fucking fence. They apparently spent all night programming - at

I thought I’d take a break from OWS for a bit to discuss my writing. It is why I started this blog in the first place. Thinking of something to write every day has had me quasi-geared towards finding material for my blog. Great.
But it’s been keeping me from my indfic.
Thank goodness for fanfic.
I love writing fanfic. There’s so much less one has to explain, keep straight, or look up. An admired writer
