Wherever you are in the world, I hope you are having a wonderful Saint Patrick’s Day! I love that he is the patron saint of the Archdiocese of Melbourne and New York! Let me share this video with you from Busted Halo. Here they are asking people how much they know about Saint Patrick… while…

So, in Times Square at the moment…
There is a guy who was on the run from the police who has climbed up to the top of a lamp post. So now, Times Square has been closed while he is coaxed down. Friday night, peak hour… couldn’t happen at a crazier time.

I am seriously a ZOMBIE at the moment. Daylight Savings time has knocked me for six. I have previously blogged about how much disdain I have for this time of the year, so again I’ll give a shout out to the End Daylight Savings group. For someone who is SO set in their routine, it…
Four years ago…
This time four years ago, I had my initial Green Card interview in Sydney. Going through the Green Card process as a lottery winner is an emotional and stressful time. Back in the day, I created a blog dedicated to the whole process. Forging the ‘virtual help’ of other winners around the globe is the…
Come on the Nets!
There is a huge development going on not far from our place. The building of the Barclays Center. Thus will be the home to the ex New Jersey Nets… they are going to become the Brooklyn Nets and play their home games there. YES! As well as this Andrea Bocelli will be performing his only…
Operation Bruce
There was one thing I wanted to make sure of when I moved here, and that was to make sure I took advantage of the concerts that come to New York that I missed seeing in Australia. One thing stood in my way, tickets here are very hard to get. It seems everyone wants to…
Life before 10am.
I am writing this at 10.10am. Last night I was on the phone to mum, dad and Ev from about 7.30pm to 9.30pm. At 9.40pm I fell sound asleep. At 3am I was wide awake because of this – That sound woke me up at 3.30am, 3.40am, 3.50am… this went on until 6am when I…
Piers, Suze and a Steakburger
A few weeks ago I found out Suze Orman was going to be on Piers Morgan Tonight – with a studio audience! So I couldn’t help myself and I managed to get Bill and I in to the audience. I was so excited. I submitted a random question about home ownership but didn’t get picked…
Ohio Day!
I haven’t been to Ohio – yet. I cannot wait to go sometime soon – it is the one state that I am kind of obsessed with. Note – Bill was actually born in Ohio! It has been one of those places that I have always dreamed of going. When I won the Green Card…
NPR Ask Me Another – Live!
On Wednesday, we went to the Bell House in Brooklyn for the taping of Ask Me Another for NPR. This bought back memories of seeing This American Life a few years ago at the Clearview in Chelsea. Bill and I are both radio nuts. I could quite happily live with my radio going 24/7 and…
