The Week
If you’re interested in politics or just want to appear up-to-date with current affairs at the next dinner party you go to, I really recommend a new magazine that’s currently out called The Week.
In the tradition of The Bulletin, The Week covers mainly politics, current affairs, culture, arts and a small section on People News (i.e. posh talk [...]
It irritates me…
…that the media are so vicious about what Michelle Obama wears.
It bothers me because she can’t seem to do anything right. If she wears something expensive, they say she’s not “down to earth” enough. If she doesn’t wear something trendy, they make really nasty comments. For goodness sake, she’s a successful lawyer, mother of two and now [...]
short term vs long term
I’ve been playing a game with myself on the train in the morning.
Each day, I think of three things I’m looking forward to in the day. They’re often really small things - seemingly mundane events that just make the day bright. Yesterday it was eating my very tasty sandwich, starting interviews for a story I’m [...]
I heart Sydney/NY
I thought this Tropfest short film was beautiful and sad.
Prayer
Life is busy and a little hard at the moment. I would really appreciate some prayer.
* Work has been crazy, with twice the workload I’m used to and less time to do it (at the moment, I’m writing a 2,000 feature due 9am tomorrow). Things unfortunately won’t settle down until mid-December.
* Sam started some casual [...]

Adoption
Lately I’ve been reading a blog called Smiles and Trials, written by an American christian women who has eleven children - many of them adopted from the Ukraine and Russia. The amount of love she has to give is inspiring.
I’ve been thinking a lot about adoption lately. Sam and I would like to adopt if we aren’t able to have [...]
Clothes swap
I went to clothes swap party yesterday morning, run by Liz D for the girls at my church.
Basically what happens is women go with a bundle of clothes they don’t want (but are still in good condition), put them in a communal pool, and people take home what they please. Like a second hand stall amongst [...]
Cala Luna
Sam and I went to a restaurant called Cala Luna last night. Rustic Italian food by the water with red wine and limoncellos to finish. Mmm mmm.
The first thing that struck me about Cala Luna was the patio chairs and paper tablecloths sitting outside the restaurant front door. Situated in Mosman next to restaurants like Orso, the [...]
Media bank - revisited
I thought I’d give an update on how Sam’s media bank is going.
So far, so good. Like a bower bird, I’ve collected quite a few items and stored them away. Sam even used two of them in his Revelation sermons. The first was a spread from Cosmopolitan illustrating the worship of fashion. The second was an article about nightclubs in [...]
