We’d met on our respective gap-year trips across Europe. How very unique and Australian of us. A mutual friend said we were destined to be together because we both play soccer, have blonde hair and like dumb jokes. It was fate. We were introduced and I gave him an awkwardly exuberant wave – I knew […]

I Stood the Eiffel Tower and Felt Nothing: Global Hobo
Written by moi and originally posted on Global Hobo: There’s a thump, and the sound of skidding tires. A muffled screech makes its way out of my mouth as I furiously clutch at the brakes and drag my Birkenstocks into the road in vain, trying to avoid another incident. The dog emits a high pitched […]
06: La La Land
Author’s note: let’s just address right here and now that I’m a romantic and I will therefore gush for the next few hundred words because this film was stunning. Okay, carry on What a movie. What a cast. What a soundtrack. I know this may be a big call, but this is why I love and want to make movies […]

Ah, Woody Allen. I hate you and I love you.

Puppies + Journalism’s Fate
To kick off this post I’d like to say that I am beyond sad that I didn’t make it to this morning’s lecture with the one and only Graham Cairns (mostly because I missed seeing Susan’s doggos) However, I did listen to it online and boy oh boy, was it a beauty. Graham also happens to be […]
Publish First Correct Later

Almost half of journalists said they published most of their stories as quickly as possible to correct later if necessary. ING […]
Bad News for Female Journalists
Good evening fellow people of the internet, I had my final exam style assessment piece for KJB222 today (thank goodness) but unfortunately it has somewhat bled me dry of any brain matter. I have been in a mostly comatose state watching Community for the past hour and a half, relying on blinks to act communicate […]
