Sometimes life is just too well-timed for my liking. Sitting back last week, and I find myself chortling along with EG Dad as he reads Big Family, Little Income. Apparently, there’s a bit of talk about the stereotyping of dads – particularly the portrayal of dads as dumb-arses. Don’t get […]
Umbrellas. The Final Frontier. Or at least at schools on rainy days. Sinister’s school attempts to discourage the use of umbrellas on rainy days. I simply do not understand why. They are the most useful arsenal you could have in the vicious world of school yards. Kids particularly love the […]
Here’s a little background on Evil Genius Mum: I come from a long line of musicians. Talented musicians. Very talented. My only saving grace: the ‘music genes’ are usually accompanied by the ‘maths genes’. … Nope I’m screwed on that front too. But, it appears that Sinister and Nefarious have inherited the […]
Last week, I was asked to be an escort on Sinister’s school excursion to a Marine Education Centre. After laughing long and hard about the idea of ME being a ‘responsible, supervising parent’ – I accepted. I can’t guarantee that I’ll ever be invited again. Considering how it ended, that […]
ERMERGHERD!!!! IT TASTES SO GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD!! *Ahem* As you were. So, as discussed last night in the initial Hail to the Bacon post, I decided to create a bacon-based quiche to truly respect the awesome-ness of Bacon Week in Australia. Awesome little country that. Has a whole week for bacon. Now that’s […]
“I love when we have vegetarian meals with bacon; It’s like ‘Screw you, vegetarians!” – EG Dad This week is Bacon Week in Australia. Seriously. No, I’m not kidding you. But imagine this – if there was ever a way to take over the world, bacon would be it. […]
I swear, this new spawnling hates me. This is the roughest pregnancy I have had yet. Most of my favourite foods are off limits or suddenly taste disgusting; my sleep pattern is disturbed AFTER Nefarious finally learns to sleep through the night continuously; and the mood swings are bringing on […]
Damn it. I have an awesome recipient this week and have not been able to find details for the recipient. Following on from Free Comic Book Day, I have a lot of admiration for families that cosplay together. They can really capture the vibe of a day by participating and […]
May the 4th be with you… Well played, Free Comic Book Day (FCBD) organisers. Well played. Doubling up your day with the Geeks Holiday: Star Wars Day. Of course, as with any geek festival, there were plenty of cosplay opportunities (including Evil Genius Inc). And of course, there were a […]
One of the (many) high schools I attended was directly across the road from my house. I kid you not. I could wake up up 0830, throw my uniform on, tie my hair back, grab some toast and a banana as I walk out the front door, cross the road […]
