Eating in Vietnam
Last time I was in Hanoi, it was for work and somebody else was picking up my tab. Apart from a few business lunches, I mostly just ate at my hotel, the fabulous Metropole. (It was French Cheese Week. Don't you judge me).
Back from the Nam
We spent a couple of weeks in Vietnam, flying out on New Year's Eve (when the price of airfares falls away for some reason) and returning about a week ago. Mostly we hung out in Hanoi, which is a crazy, crowded, joyous mess of a city that I'd happily return to next week.
Surrounded by sea
I'm just back from a couple of weeks in Vietnam, part family holiday, part research trip. (Seriously,the backstreets of Hanoi are a perfect setting for a space habitat novel). This is my first day back at the desk and I wanted to share this vid I saw on the Twitz this morning. It's a recruitment ad for the RAN and it is brilliant because it doesnt look like a recruitment ad for the RAN.
Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night
It's Christmas Eve here. A quiet one. In that weird Australian way we just had pasta for dinner. We're lunching with the neighborinos tomorrow, seafood and cold meats. I went to the gym this arvo to build up a deficit but then, you know, pasta.
Hope everyone has a good day and a better new year.
Everyday spaceships
This is brilliant. Dude designs spaceships based on common household thingies.
And space stations!
I think I want some Turkey
The internet is often lke a giant ractor spreading enormous tonnages of shit all over the world. And sometimes not. One thing it does do is globalise quirky regionalalisms like poutine or kangaroo scrotum coin purses
The internationalisation of Halloween was surely accelerated by a thousand Buzzfeed listicles. And I have a feeling we're not far away from everyone deciding they want in on America's annual festival of eating too much for Thanksgiving.
Mother of Kittens is coming... #ForTheThrone
Beloved Throners,
Life is full of uncertainties, but for me right now, two things seemed obvious from the start.
1. That I would LOVE Game of Thrones. Like, REALLY LOVE Game of Thrones.
2. That eventually I would make a show about it.And so, dear Kittens, with thanks to JB for letting me make the announcement here, I am thrilled to announce that 2019 will bring you something I've been beavering away on for months and months:
I found Girlclumsy's next gig
Running a cat sanctuary on the Greek island of Syros.
But she'll need to beat out 40 000 other applicants.
It would make for a better comedy if Havoc got the job but.
