Wow! So that short break ended up being 6 months. That was the quickest 6 months in the world. A very quick 6 months that also feels like a lifetime of crazy shit. One of the many great things that has happened in the last 6 months was the chance to work out what I (we) wanted this blog to be … [Read more...]
St. Murphy freaks out!
January 11, 2012 By 14 Comments
Just gonna blurt this out and see if it makes sense. I've had three potentially brilliant blog posts in the last week or so but I can't seem to bring myself to write them. The first is the 'love story' of my amazing friend Sleemol and his beautiful boyfriend Dan. With the legalising of gay civil … [Read more...]
I am sooooo Carrie Bradshaw

Worst week of my life ever! Life had been going absolutely great until last Saturday when I braved Ikea, Bunnings and Moore Park Supacentre all in one afternoon. Was so frazzled when I got home that my hand-eye co-ordination went out the window. WHACK with a stray left arm and I spilt a full … [Read more...]
Launch Party!!!

Today I feel all pretty! Pretty like I've never been before! Thanks to the even prettier Kelly Exeter my little blog St. Murphy has had an Oprah-like make-over. Now I am a very proud blogger, and feeling very professional. Kelly has given me all this cool shit to play with. She's also made it … [Read more...]
Turns out I ain’t such a Pro

Spent Friday at a brilliantly organized ProBlogger conference in Melbourne. Turns out though… I ain’t no ProBlogger. In fact, I reckon you’d be hard-pressed to even call me an amateur blogger (or as I now refer to myself, an AmaBlogger). In a room full of people who love blogging and … [Read more...]
Severe Identity Crisis!
September 17, 2011 By Leave a Comment
Just a quick look back over some of my blog posts lately and it’s a mix so turbulent it could make you sea sick– electrical appliances, poolside gossip, family stuff, a Bear party, boozey nights, food, gay marriage and Lady Boys. Now that’s an identity crisis. I’m so confused as to … [Read more...]
Enough with the Crazies! Time for the cool people.

God damn there have been a lot of crazy people around this week! I’m absolutely max’d out. What about the American ‘academic’ at the anti-gay marriage rally in Canberra who said that “there is no greater evil” and likened gay marriage to paedophilia. "It won't stop at homosexual … [Read more...]
The post you have when you don’t really post…
August 17, 2011 By Leave a Comment
I feel dumb when I don't have anything to say. It's weird that I never shut up - at all - but it's a very different thing turning verbal diarrhea into anything that resembles a post. This is what I am learning about blogging. So today I am protecting you from what would have only been a bad … [Read more...]
10 Things You Wish You Didn’t Know About Me!
August 10, 2011 By Leave a Comment
This post is the fault of Smudgerella! Smudge tagged me in a post of hers on Grenglish which means I am morally responsible to share my list, as are the people I tag below! I plan to make this disturbing rather than insightful, so much more fun. It’s actually much harder than you think cause I … [Read more...]
"Groupie blogger whore!"
July 31, 2011 By Leave a Comment
StylingYou and her groupie! Yes, this is how I was described after Blogopolis, the blogging conference I was at on the weekend. While it may sound harsh, it is 100% correct and I’m actually incredibly flattered. The deliverer of this pithy line is an old friend of mine, SawHole, who was also at … [Read more...]
Socialising!
