Tonight’s award is not for parenting. In fact, this guy’s work is definitely not to be read aloud in front of the spawnlings, let alone at work. But if the story of his method is true, it is – to use an Australian colloquialism – “bloody genius”. Over the weekend, […]
Ohhhh… it has been awhile. But there is nothing like April Fools Day to bring out the Evil Genius in us all. I like it even better when you can combine April Fools Day with Easter. Previous years have included the Infamous Green Easter Egg Hunt, and last year was […]
It’s frackin’ awesome! </end> I know, it’s 3 mini-figs in a cool scene, but there are some amazing bits and I love the ingenuity of the dinosaur skeleton. But the part that really made it for me – the instruction manual. Let’s start at the beginning: We received […]
As you can see, I take this blogging thing very seriously. … Sorry. Distracted by the sound of the jug boiling and realised I was due for my pre-siesta cold latte. … Okay, back to blogging. To be frank, I don’t know how regular bloggers do it. There are a […]
In case you missed the Public Safety Announcement, Zaltu is 18mths old. Those with kids know that this is when the crazy shit happens. The term “terrible twos” is misleading – it all starts at 18mths. But this time – surprisingly, it wasn’t Zaltu’s fault. At all. It was me, […]
Normally, we have blue sky – sunshine, lollipops and rainbows and everything. Well, you get the idea. Lovely weather. The type of weather that entices you towards world domination … If it just wasn’t so damn cruise in your high wing-backed chair… But not today. No, today is day 3 […]
Big Hero 6 From what I am hearing, this is going to be the movie of Holidays. Of course, it has yet to open in Australia. Not until Boxing Day. Which is driving many minions insane. But not me. Oh no. This is a great bargaining tool for the spawnlings. […]
You had us at “TARDIS technology”. This ended up being one of the easiest decisions ever made. Seriously though, big kudos to the participants. We had colour. We had speed. We even had a tribute to Daft Punk. So we nabbed a few bonus EG trinkets to send out to […]
Well. Good to know where I stand, Zaltu. The minute Sinister and Nefarious are dropped at school, Zaltu knows it is her time. Parks are visited, pigeons are tormented, EG Senior Citizens are wooed. When we arrived at the playground, Zaltu made friends with another toddler. A toddler who had […]
I’m sitting here watching Zaltu eat her lunch with Aquaman’s Trident. Yes, I did give her a fork. But why on Earth would she want a mere fork, when she can use Aquaman’s Trident? Which of course led to me googling Batman Cutlery. Because why would you settle for Aquaman’s […]
