geek parenting done right
EEG or Electroencephalography. Wow doesn’t sound any better when you write it out does it? I see the word electro which looks like electricity and I’m both picturing my little angel in an electric chair which I’m convinced will end with him wielding powers belonging to a Spiderman villain. We recently had to get an […]
I’ve been working through Kazuo Ishiguro’s back catalogue for a few years ever since I was lightly emotionally scarred by Never Let Me Go. I love the way each of his books have a secret that is gently and gradually revealed and The Buried Giant is no exception. Synopsis (from GoodReads) “You’ve long set your […]
After last week’s rant about nasty comments, let’s move on to something more positive. They say it takes a village to raise a child. Our village consists of my mummy group, our amazing pediatrician and lovely GP as well as our other friends and family. Whenever I need help I can rely on someone to know […]
Top Of The Morning To Ye!!!! Ahem. Sorry about that. I do realise that is the Irish equivalent of people saying ‘throw another shrimp on the baaaarbie’. Anyway, in honour of St Patrick, this months mix tape is going green. St Paddy’s Day has always been something close to my heart. With red hair and […]
Aaaand another from the To Read Pile. Done and dusted. I heard about Codex late last year when it was recommended to me on the Reddit Books subthread as one I would enjoy if I loved Ready Player One. I adore RPO as well as The Magician’s Trilogy, so I was excited to jump into […]
I’ve never really gotten the concept of making another person feel guilty for their choices. It sounds a little hippy-dippy but unless someone’s choice was actually affecting other humans I just kind of meh-d and moved on with my life. I assumed that being a parent would be similar, everyone raises their own kids their […]
Ah February. Ridiculously stinking hot month where everyone in Queensland flocks to the air-conditioned comfort of shopping centres and meanders around aimlessly getting in my way while I try to get my shopping done. I may have issues. While I get that sorted, check out my top 7 things I loved in February!!! 1. Deadpool I’m […]
What does being an ambivert mean? Basically everytime I take a personality test for work or for fun, I tend to have an even split between introversion and extroversion. Oh while we are on the subject of personality tests, here’s a great free Myers Briggs one here. Okay and we’re back. Like most things in […]
Deadpool is one of those characters where you either love him or think he’s completely puerile. There doesn’t seem to be any middle ground. Mark is a diehard Deadpool fan, and has been reading the comics for years. I’m a little milder, I like him and read him but I’m a little less au fey […]
The to-read pile just got a little smaller this week! I’ve had Modern Romance sitting around for a while. I became a fan of Ansari during his time on Parks and Rec (as well as loving Master of None), so I bought his book without reading the synopsis. Sadly, the book jacket makes it sound like a sociology […]
