Stress in the field of esports isn’t to be taken lightly. I might not be a player myself…in fact, I don’t understand half of what’s going on, but I wasn’t hired for my ability to game. I basically just hover around, asking the pros if they’re doing okay and getting them help if they’re not […]

Old-Fashioned Cooling
My parents were big believers in air conditioning, even though back in their day it wasn’t quite as widespread. They made sure they had it installed throughout the entire house and then showed off to the neighbours as much as possible. From my non-air-conditioned cupboard underneath the stairs, I could hear sounds of the neighbours […]
No Pasta For You
Some people will do anything to get on television, up to and including selling out their own family. As far as I’m concerned, if you drag your children onto television with you to promote a hare-brained scheme that you clearly haven’t thought through, you need to be hauled in front of a judge for child […]
Extra-Strength Glass
If it were up to me, this house wouldn’t have any glass at all. Glass is a tactical weakness, and there are always enemies everywhere. People say I’m crazy, but I say THEY are the crazy ones for not recognising the danger in front of them. There’s a whole gang out there, up to all […]
Have Your Renovations
When I chose this history elective as part of my uni course, I thought it was going to be a doss. History is history, so it’s not like you need to learn anything more than facts and figures. I’m really good with facts and figures as well, so no problems here. Just got to remember […]
Window Wonders
Ah, the wonders of being a homeowner. There’s no end to this ever-unfolding journey. For example, moving into your new pad, only to discover that none of those beautifully painted, double hung windows in the master bedroom actually open. What the? What kind of insane person lived here, and how can I banish their airflow-denying […]
Mind That Drain
Children sure are a gift, which is why I’ll probably never have any of them ever again. Two is great; I’m gonna cap it at this number. Any more and I literally do not know how I would cope, which is weird when you think about people who have three, four, five…more…like, HOW? You only […]
Wallpaper Effort
In my ideal dream house you can change the settings, like you can on ‘The Simulation World’. I spent many an hour of my childhood building a home, making my simulation people happy, giving them a good life and killing them all when I got bored. But now it’s given me a wildly unrealistic idea […]
Urban Jungle
What do you get when you throw an urban horticulturist and an aerosol artist together under one roof? You get my current living space, that’s what. This is especially the case if you add in a strong dose of enthusiasm for home decor on both sides of the equation. Basically, the space is a wall-to-wall […]
Teach Us Things
Gardening is the way of the soul. Only by caring for that which grows can one grow themselves, as people. I know all the old proverbs, but even though they were written down hundreds of years ago by our ancestors. We might teach our young ones to hide in the shadows and enhance lives with […]
