Pocket Universes
by Ranil on May.27, 2009, under Reviews
I’ve gotten used to living a life without keys. For the past few months I haven’t heard the familiar rattling of car and house keys as I make my way through the day but that’s not to say I haven’t had to carry a lot of things in my pocket since leaving the states. So I decided to take a cue from the guys over at Lifehacker and share with you what I carry around on a usual basis.
Something New: Week 14 – Football In The Land Down Under
by Ranil on May.19, 2009, under Life in Australia, Something New
How do I succinctly describe Aussie Rules Football. I think the best description would be chaotic. Like many things Australian it seems to be a mishmash of many things coming together to form something that is unique to the land down under. Footy, like many things Australian, is as strange and as loveable as the platypus.
Something New: Week 13 – Birthday Under A Southern Cross
by Ranil on May.07, 2009, under Nostalgia, Points Of Importance, Something New
Being unemployed is the pits. Being unemployed and sick is even worse. Don’t get me wrong I don’t mind sitting around doing nothing – outside of applying for jobs and reading an inordinate amount of news – but one eventually misses the routine provided by work. In all the chaos of finding a job and getting set up down under its easy to overlook ones birthday. But this year unlike most years I will be spending my birthday in a place I haven’t had a birthday in for almost 18 years.
Life underneath a southern cross (aka The Road Less Travelled Tour)
by Ranil on Apr.18, 2009, under Life List, Points Of Importance, Tours
The things I’ve seen and the things I’ve done I wouldn’t change for the world. I’ve seen beauty and sadness. I’ve jumped from waterfall and swam in blue ocean waters surrounded by white sand. I’ve met strangers who became family and strengthened ties with far away relatives. But my heart still belongs to LA and the faces that I left behind.
Election Day 2008
by Ranil on Nov.04, 2008, under Life in Los Angeles, Points Of Importance
The big day is here – Election 2008. Being an Australian citizen I can’t vote, but I strongly urge most of you to. I hope that you’ll vote for McCain. Not because I believe in his views, or think that Sarah Palin is hot, no I want you to vote for him because I don’t want to lose a bet and buy someone dinner. Democrat or Republican remember the real issue here – letting me eat dinner at a fancy restaurant for free!
