My older sister has been living in Ireland since April, and she was living opposite the government building people were rioting in front of (the name of the exact building is currently alluding me). And just the other day she left there to visit Egypt for 9 days. We’re not sure if or how the riots are affecting her; we obviously can’t get in contact with her. But yeah, I bought two new...

'Tis the Time to Reminisce
I’m going through and cleaning up the entries in my Momento app. They import checkins, tweets and statuses as well as keep track of private entries. Just saw this Facebook entry dated as the 11th of July last year:
Lying down with Roxy & her mother watching TV, Roxy groans & says, “I feel sick…” Her mum replies, “Well no wonder! You’ve had about 5...

fuckyeahexistentialism:
Sartre is famous for explaining existentialism in terms of three key concepts: anguish, abandonment and despair. So how is it your book argues that it is a “positive and uplifting philosophy”?
Existentialism uncompromisingly details the hard truths of the human condition – anguish,…

Summer Albums
Out of boredom last night, struggling to get to sleep, I decided to compile from my music library some great ‘summer albums’. It’s definitely lacking; I just don’t have that many up-beat, poppy songs…

goldenthread--deactivated201101 asked: Hi there, thanks for following. (: And psh, New Zealand accents? They don't exist. We Kiwis do not have accents.
It’s eerily quiet in my house, and I’m home alone, as I like to be. But I’ve never felt so lost. And confused, static, indifferent. That vain, distant hope of a different life glides quietly away on hands and knees. Elegant in disposition, but tormented by impossible lust.
Each year I’m hopeful of a great change; that from now on, things will be different — better. But I never change, not even...

Guilty Pleasure
I find myself, late at night when there’s nothing else on TV, watching Police Ten 7. This guy just got angry at the cop because they pulled him over, never mind he was over the limit as well as possessing cannabis. The guy had the balls to ask for his weed back at the station.
I don’t know what I find more hilarious, the strong New Zealand accents or the stupidity of the people the...

This, this is simply amazing!
I am trying so hard not to be a Negative Nancy, but either Stephanie Meyer hates women or she hates herself. I cannot understand why she is making Bella out to be such an uncaring, unsympathetic asshole. This isn’t a great existential novel, and you’re not Albert Camus or Dostoevsky. You do not possess the skill, desire, or literary talent to craft...
The Point of Religion?
I follow @biblesummary on Twitter, for some unknown reason. Some of the chapters it has shortened to less than 140 characters make me laugh. The latest one, however, baffles me how women continue to be Christians, and to adhere wholly to the Bible. ”Num30: When a man makes a vow he must not break his word. When a woman makes a vow it shall stand unless her father or husband forbids...

Ugly Side of Capitalism, I Guess
I came across this quote on my Tumblr dashboard, and I loved it. For nothing more than making me giggle and nod in agreement. Normally, a lot of criticism centres around the author’s distinct lack of literary talent, the cliche and unoriginal plot, and the array of one-dimensional characters — which the argument “yeah, but she’s made a lot of money” may possibly be valid. Possibly. However, the...
