  1. I’m Not Feeling Well (Serves One) (Jeremy)

    Ingredients: One Person, lots of medical equipment that goes “beep”, a virus (although some bacteria will do if you’ve run out), a bottle of pills, nearby toilet and lots of daytime television Preparation time: Three Weeks This, young chefs, is one of my favourite recipes and I would dearly like to share it with you. […]

  2. My Idea of Fun (Johanna)

    Last night I surveyed university from a speeding shopping trolley at midnight. Here is the midnight: Here is the trolley: It felt like.. well, being the way a silly teenager is supposed to be. Tonight, I’m on Triple J! Yes, the Johanna who is guest programmer for tonight’s Super Request is none other than yours […]

  3. Alive and Kicking (Johanna)

    I am alive. More on that later. David Tench tonight. I think it will be on tomorrow night.. and I don’t understand! Why on earth does anybody think that we want to watch a silly, disproportionate CGI man telling borderline un-PC jokes?!?!? Channel Ten have been plugging it in practically every single news update for […]

  4. Sick, sick, sick (Jeremy)

    I have managed to be nicely sick over the last couple of weeks with a variety of bugs. Cold, flu, that whole sore-dizzy thing that Melbourne seems to have had over the last month, and the latest illness is something which, believe me, on a want-to-know basis, you most definetely do not want to know. […]

  5. Delays Are… The New Black (Lara)

    After what was a pretty awesome rocking weekend at Splendour in the Grass in Byron Bay (the secret band being The Vines, of which Craig Nicholls did enough damage after the set to produce a novel-sized repair/replacement bill!), which was meant to be my final fling before hopping on a plane to venture back into […]

  6. Best Mate’s 21st (Jeremy)

    Just recently, I attended a best mate’s 21st and was of course (rather dangerously, if you ask me), asked to provide a speech. Instead of going on and on about the party I think it’s probably best to reprint the speech I gave. I first met Brok in ’95, when we were only in Year […]

  7. Tales From The Edge Of The Earth i.e Fountain Gate Krispy Kreme (Sophie)

    The adventure began at Oakleigh train station where I was met by my dear friend PXW in his own private form of transport (car) – something I’m not quite used to considering I am a proud MetCard holder. After a quick consultation of the Melways, off we went on our roadtrip to what seemed to […]

  8. Brass Monkeys! (Jeremy)

    I thought Melbourne’s normal winter weather was pretty ordinary. There are a few consistent elements to Melbourne’s winter weather. Number one is absolute, constant cloud cover punctured by little three-minutes patches of bright sunlight (and it’s in this three-minute patch that you naturally choose what to wear for the day, and that how one ends […]

  9. Finally Feeling Like Holidays (Johanna)

    How annoying. A couple of days ago, I was sent an email from another student at the university. The email basically accused me of being ungrateful, racist, pathetic, among other things. From what I could tell, the student was pretty much taking out all their issues of imagined inferiority on me. It was ridiculous, but […]

  10. A quick update and some notes for First Years (Sophie)

    I’m alive. -Probably an important way to start! I’m in a state of major lack of sleep right now so I just wanted to say things are all pretty good. I quit “Tarjey” on Monday (Hello! -I’m trying to gain SOME respect here!)…which was an ‘interesting’ experience. I gave two weeks notice so still have […]
