Hope springs anew!
Why is it that something I so fervently despise, is so bloody beneficial to me? You all know by now about my reluctant participation in my diet and exercise regime. I still hate it with a passion, and...

Does my ass look big in these?
Seriously. I’m thinking that orange may not be my colour. Why do orange pants make me feel so unsure about myself? You may well recall the last time I attempted to wear orange pants out of the house....

Sometimes you just can’t win.
I’ve lost roughly ten kilos since the start of this year. Yay for me, right? I’ve been able to wear certain shirts and pants again that I had “outgrown”. Yay again for me, right? Yesterday I tried on a...

Ain’t life grand?
Not that they were exactly looking down lately, but things really started to look up today. It was just one of those days where the good news just kept rolling in. I am very pleased to announce to...

No souffle for you!
No, I’m not talking about dessert again. Nor am I making reference to a pedantic dessert bar chef. I’m talking about the lack of “souffle top” when I put on these jeans again recently. Last time I wore...

Flattery will get you everywhere.
I wore this outfit the other day on one of my very rare shopping expeditions and to meet a friend for lunch. I’m going to have to wear it more often. I went to lunch and the first thing my friend said...

Don’t stop now!
These were absolutely delicious. So delicious in fact, I had to make two batches. After performing the obligatory taste test, I decided that they tasted so good that I could have another one, then...

Very confuzzling!
As most of you are aware, I subjected myself to a ridiculous diet and exercise regime earlier in the year. As much as I don’t want to admit that exercising helped me lose a significant amount of...

I bid you Adieu!
No, not you, Occasional Reader. I have to say goodbye to one of my life loves for a while. No, I already told you. Not you. This option wouldn’t normally be my first choice, but something had to be...

Six inches makes all the difference!
I went to see Steve Balbi last night at the Opera House. Picking an outfit for such an occasion was an adventure in itself. There were tears, there was laughter, there were exclamations of fatness....

Time for a break.
I’m off to Melbourne for the weekend to see King Kong, The Musical. And to eat. And to shop. And eat. And bump uglies. And eat. Not in any particular order. Maybe even eat while I bump uglies. Take a...

Here we go again.
It’s that time again. Time for me to resist the temptation of real food. I suppose it’s not all bad, but sometimes I really do wonder if it would be a more enjoyable life being a fat man in beautiful...

All, like, cultured and shit.
What a spectacle of modern design! What beauty! What style! What panache, even! Oh yeah. I was also standing in front of some weird-ass shaped building. No, not a weird ass-shaped building. That would...

Thank God for free stuff!
I was fortunate (unfortunate?) enough lately to be invited to indulge in a corporate suite for a night, while enjoying (tolerating?) a concert. “Why unfortunate?” you may well ask. No, really, you may....

A man walks into a bar…
Don’t you hate it when you walk into a bar and see someone wearing the same jacket as you? It’s even worse when the person wearing it notices it too. Things get awkward when that same person is well on...

Menage a trois or a menagerie?
I wonder when this chicken died for me, did it think it would finally disappear from existence while being hugged by a pig? I know the prawn was expecting to climb on top of both of them and share that...

It’s about bloody time!
You may well have noticed that the additions to the Shoeplex have been few and far between lately. It’s not just because space in said Shoeplex is now at a premium. Nor is it because I’ve (Gasp!) lost...

Too much of a good thing…
I love scallops. I love blackberries. I like apple. I love trout roe. What happens when I mix them all together? Not one of my finest creations. Interesting though, and nobody died. Brown Butter...
