One of the best things we did last month was buy a new couch. Look at this magnificent bastard right here.  Our old couch was really getting me down towards the end.  The cushions kept sliding out from under your arse so that no matter what posture you started in, you’d end up slouched with your butt cheeks hanging over ...

What you see here is an empty apartment. Thats right.  For the first time in five years, Jen and I are living by ourselves again.  I think we both had an idea that we wanted to do this at the start of the year.    We’ve enjoyed living with Allan and Jules, then with Dominic and Sarah after that, but ...

I’ll be updating this post later in the day as I’ll be at work and can’t watch the show live unfortunately. There’s no doubting that the WWE is a very different product nowadays than what it was in the Attitude era.  PG-rated, banned chairshots, stoppages for bleeding in matches…its actually quite refreshing to see the product being a little less ...

Lost In our household, it’s gradually whittled down to the point where I’m the only person persisting with watching the final season of Lost.  After having some rather sour feelings about the start of the season, I’ve actually really come around to enjoying this season.  Sadly, no one else in the house actually believes me when I say the show ...

Its been a while since me and Jen had a chance to check out a new restaurant.  Probably not since the Sydney trip in January.  So we’re breaking that streak by eating at Jellyfish on Eaglestreet Pier and then in a fortnights time, we’ll be making a return to the Buffalo Club for another degustation.  Five guests.  Chefs table booked ...

I came home from work today to find that the courier dropped off the Samsung TV from the Biggest Loser comp at last. We’re still not really sure what to do with it.  Tossing up between selling it to someone who said they’d paid RRP for it or holding onto it and using it in our guestroom. Also, when I ...

Its been a weird sort of week in Brisbane.  It started raining about ten days ago and it hasn’t really stopped.  In fact, I’m looking out the window now and its still going. Typical then that it should happen on a week where we actually had some plans to go out a bunch of times.  Firstly, the Asian Cup Qualifier ...

Why does it always rain on Ethan?

You’ll notice its been pretty dead on the ol’ Fat Web for the month of February. That’s not to say nothing has happened.  Far from it.  Just a set of circumstances where we’ve had people crashing on the couch and some extra visitors passing through so I haven’t really had the opportunity to take five and blog about stuff. But ...

Whats the difference between 'among' and 'amongst'? I can never remember.
