Most of my blogging tends toward my travel experiences, and diversity in media, but I will also discuss my own creative pursuits, which are generally in the film, writing, and performance fields. I'm also an editor at Solarwyrm Press. Performance: improv, acting, stand-up comedy. Filmmaking: screenwriting, directing, video editing, short films, music videos. Writing: speculative fiction, memoir, short stories. Though I consider myself a citizen of the world, with how many places feel like home to me, I was born and raised in Australia, to American parents. I'm a dual-national of both countries, lived in Malaysia for five and a half years, and now live in the US.
I had a friend over yesterday, and one of the things we talked about was the fact that when we talk to each other, it’s more like she’s interviewing me than a conversation.

Depending on buses, I think I’d like to try and get out to Salem (MA), New Hampshire, and Providence (Rhode Island). I think Salem would be interesting because … More New England

Today I received confirmation of a booking for our stay in Boston later this year. This basically now means we have to go ahead with our trip, and get around to booking our flights soon. Especially if we want to be home in time for Christmas. It also means we didn’t get our Rio preference, … More Worldwide Travel
My husband tells me that sometimes I am too honest to the point where I just sound rude. Whereas it’s my opinion where I would rather have someone tell me something that they might think is rude than assume the worst. I’m very perceptive when it comes to picking up on people’s attitudes, body language … More Honesty
If you have a baby when you have rarely been around infants, if ever, everything your baby does can seem so clever. Whenever you see your baby do something new, he’s ‘advanced’ – especially when you don’t know when all of the developmental stages are supposed to happen, or the books tell you ‘averages’ that … More Four and a half months on

And on Friday … More Out of interest

This past Friday, the 1st of December, I received a letter from a lawyer representing Telstra and Sensis. You might be wondering why on Earth an individual such as myself would be receiving letters from such a person, but to be perfectly honest it wasn’t completely out of the blue, since my husband had suggested … More Intellectual Property Overboard
