Publicist to actor promoting a film: “All these podcasts use a free-flowing, 3-hour conversational format, so they’ll ask you to recap your entire life, highlighting childhood trauma, your greatest failures and your deepest fears but they will mention the title once in passing.”

Maybe Ross is short for Rossell

Re: complaints about new lockdowns and boosters. If Dad says he'Il take you to Disneyland for your birthday then the family house burns down and you hear "it might have to be next year now, champ", it's not 'outrageous hypocrisy at the highest level!'

With singing and dancing banned in NSW I guess it’s finally moody post rock’s time to shine

When it comes to the rules of writing an on-screen car chase, the bad guy can walk away unscathed but the inventory of one humble curbside fruit and vegetable vendor MUST BE DESTROYED.

I’ve been posting rapid antigen tests back to friends in Oz. Yesterday the teller screamed and dropped the box cos I’d listed ‘RATs’ on the form. Apparently a local has tried to send giant cockroaches many times, traumatizing staff who now check all boxes for ‘air holes’.

Way to bring down the big one RJ Collins and John Trefry! 👏👏👏👏👏

Returning to my full-time position of Terrified Man Who Sits In House On Writing Deadline isn’t quite the same after the last few months of this business. Thanks to sleepmakeswaves and their incredible team for putting me in to shoot a few hoops. xo

This was such great news to get from A Night of Horror International Film Festival halfway through a 30-hour commute between countries. Huge thanks go to Tristan for suggesting an insane opening image and encouraging me to push this story as far out of control as it could go!

Today, with two hours notice, a guy picked up a side table he purchased from me seven months ago on an online marketplace for $20. I was deeply intrigued - so many delays - but he barely said hello. I can't stop thinking about what would have happened if I'd chucked it out.
