About me

Gender Female
Industry Communications or Media
Location Melbourne, Victoria, Australia
Introduction Tis moi, a first-time blogger, long-time reader. I'm a former journalista now working for the Government (you know the drill, I'd tell you more but I'd have to kill you). Been travelling the world, lived in Europe for five years till I came back to my gorgeous hometown of Melbourne in the middle of last year. Am a fan of the kooky and the quirky, hence this blog. I do hope you enjoy it.
Interests Good food, good wine, good films, good music, good TV, good Internet, bad hair, bad clothes and obviously - most especially - bad furniture
Favorite Movies Godfather I&II, Borat, The Blues Brothers, Being John Malkovich, The Wind That Shakes the Barley, The Sound of Music, Top Gun (I'm weird - I know - never claimed to be normal)
Favorite Music Crowded House, Fiona Apple, Aimee Mann, The Earthmen, Manic Suede, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Faith No More, The Prodigy, Ray Charles, Aretha Franklin, Sam and Dave, Simon and Garfunkel, David Bowie, Abba, Miles Davis, Dizzy Gillespie, Winton Marsalis, Midnight Oil, Portishead, Massive Attack, Ben Harper, Tori Amos, Tchaikovsky, Sibelius, Vivaldi, Handel, Beethoven... Should I shut up now? That's one highly complicated question for me...
Favorite Books The Catcher in the Rye, The Life and Times of the Kelly Gang, The Blackwater Lightship, The Girls' Guide to Hunting and Fishing

Your pajamas have duckies on them. Why did you switch from choo-choos?

Because I've had a long-term crush on/obsession with Ernie from Sesame Street. Rubber Ducky was one of my favourite songs growing up. Do you have a problem with that?
