Bathroom Risotto, Anyone?

Jeb — Thu, 03 Jun 2010 09:00:22 +0000

There’s certain things you just don’t want to deal with in life. Being forced to endure saccharine Disney movies when you’re minding kids. The suicidal endeavour that is reformatting Windows. Moving interstate and all the bullshittery that goes with it. Since the weekend, I can add another item to this list: See, the suburb I’ve recently moved [...]

We’re Smarter, Smell Better and More Awesome Than You

Jeb — Tue, 25 May 2010 09:00:44 +0000

My new apartment block seemed amazing based on first impressions. We’d barely moved in and our friendly neighbours were racing each other to introduce themselves. It’s a pretty amazing situation: the entire apartment block frequently hangs out as a group socially. Everyone knows each other, and it sure doesn’t seem like there’s any secrets. Driveway [...]

Time to Get This Dirty Teenage Secret Out in the Open

Jeb — Mon, 24 May 2010 09:00:08 +0000

It’s time to confess something which I’ve repressed since puberty. A deep, dark secret that only a handful of friends are aware of. Y’see, as a teenager, I made that eventual transition from loving cheesy top 40 music to angry, alternative music… just like any angsty pubescent kid does. In my case, I began a [...]

Can Everyone Please Stop Wearing Threadless T-Shirts Now?

Jeb — Tue, 18 May 2010 09:00:11 +0000

Ever found yourself at a party thinking “Wow, there’s way too much Threadless in here?” If you’re unfamiliar with Threadless, you’ve doubtlessly stuck to clothing purchases along the lines of a heshen sack in recent times. Threadless is an online clothing store which Twitter periodically vomits itself into euphoria over, usually whenever they hold some [...]

The Urinal Man Code

Jeb — Mon, 17 May 2010 09:00:22 +0000

Recently I overheard a conversation in some men’s toilets that did me proud (don’t worry, not that kind of conversation). Some bloke at the urinal had apparently been discovered by another mate of his, who was attempting to strike up a conversation mid-stream. “So what are you up to this weekend?” his friend enquired. A [...]

Pugwall: Where Is He Now?

Jeb — Wed, 12 May 2010 08:00:27 +0000

If you grew up in Australia in the late 80s, you’d remember the bodacious kid’s TV series Pugwall. The premise was that these kids had a badass band, the Orange Organics -- just check out the killer intro! www.youtube.com/watch?v=e7YueVrn_u0 Growing up, I was constantly ribbed that I had a strange resemblance to the main character, [...]

The Beanbag Failure Advent Calendar

Jeb — Wed, 05 May 2010 09:07:57 +0000

My housemate Matt and I have been putting our homosexual superpowers to good use since we moved in together: yes, we’re actually putting some effort into how the place looks. Antique-y sitting chairs? Check. Tasteful potted plants? Check. Kimonos to wear while we secretly watch Desperate Housewives before we listen to some metal, to balance [...]

The Blackening

Jeb — Mon, 03 May 2010 08:00:40 +0000

Yes, you can now officially call me insane: after only four months of living on my own, I’ve moved house. AGAIN. Why has this all happened? Well, life was a lot different earlier this year. I’d just broken up, was feeling somewhat sorry for myself, and was convinced living on my own was the best [...]

Listen to me Ruining a Podcast

Jeb — Mon, 26 Apr 2010 10:07:28 +0000

I’ve been busy moving house and will post more soon, but in the meantime, I guest hosted the Favourite Five podcast this week. Go check it out and listen to me ruining an otherwise very funny podcast!

How I Managed to be Trapped in Public Wearing Only My Underwear

Jeb — Tue, 30 Mar 2010 08:00:08 +0000

If you’d told me last week that I’d be trapped in public wearing only a pair of Bonds jocks, I’d have laughed hysterically in your face… but that’s exactly what happened to me on Sunday. Yep, it sounds like the stuff of teen movies, but turns out it’s an actual possible event in real life [...]
