New Home
I'm not sure what this means for LJ, but I have a new home!
Jasper SchultzWhy the pseudonym? It's a long story involving my inability to secure 'Tophe' in a domain name, the recommendation that a fake name helps with the nastier elements of defamation (shameless libel for all!), and a lifelong fondness for the name 'Jasper' (recently re-ignited by ( Read more... ) -
Food With Flair - but not too much flair
There's a cafe down the road from work (and by down the road, I mean five minutes drive - if you are ever in Canberra and you hear my radio station DJs talking about being in the middle of a paddock? They are not joking) that serves the most amazing chicken salad. I couldn't tell you anything else on the menu, because every time I go there I always ( Read more... ) -
Commercial Break...down
As someone who writes commercials for a living, albeit only for radio, I feel like I have a newly imbued right to pull apart any sort of advertising I see and judge it mercilessly. Well why not? Everything I write is judged by at least three people before it even gets anywhere close to being produced; and 65% of the time it's judged by people who ( Read more... ) -

Awaiting the sensation of a short, sharp shock
From a cheap and chippy chopper with a big, black block. -
A Picture: Worth a Thousand Words
From now on, if I am ever asked to describe myself - in terms of physicality, personality, or emotion...ality - I will be using the following image.
This image depicts me in a way that words never could. Every clunking, mismatched, awkward thing about me, both inside and out, can be summed up thusly:
( This is how I feel today. And every day. ) -
Southpark Hair
My hair has this despicable habit of looking perfectly acceptable from a flat, front-on angle. This means that as I look up into the mirror, I see my hair sitting in a way that seems acceptable for facing the day ( Read more... ) -
But now there's nowhere to hide
About two years ago, in early 2007, I got Kate Bush's song Babooshka stuck in my head. This in itself is not unusual, earworms happen all the time. Except Babooshka stayed in my head for at least a month and a half.
Every time I whistled, hummed, or sang without thinking first, Babooshka is what would come out. If I stopped concentrating and let ( Read more... )
