I am an extrovert gay man living in Sydney who loves Indian food, current affairs, music, film and reading, caramel anything, and a beautiful guy called Steve who makes every day a delight. I am trying to get two novels in a trilogy ready for e-publication, love my iPhone & iPod, and am secretly Canadian in my soul. Life is fun, exciting and joyful and I aim to make the absolute most of it!
On 5th day of Christmas … I watched Jingle Jangle: A Christmas Journey
Biting off more than you chew is pretty much a non-negotiable requirement of Christmas celebrations which, if they aren’t doing everything from food to togetherness to presents and, hopefully, joyous bonhomie to excess, simply aren’t trying hard enough. One of the latest festive offerings from Netflix, Jingle Jangle: A Christmas Continue Reading
Shaun the Sheep: We Wish Ewe a Merry #Christmas (review)
If you have watched any episodes of Shaun the Sheep, and yes, while the program is ostensibly aimed at kids, many adults will get a kick out of it too, furnished as it is with Aardman’ trademark silly wit and whimsy, you will have noticed the show’s protagonist is a Continue Reading
#Christmas movie review: LEGO Star Wars Holiday Special
Debuting 42 years exactly since the much-loved but slightly infamous 1978 Holiday Special, the LEGO Star Wars Holiday Special is a delightful throwback to the Christmas TV specials of old like Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer (1964) and A Charlie Brown Christmas (1965), combining iconic characters, a cheekily seditious sense of Continue Reading

Is there a lot of Christmas music out there? There is, in fact, a LOT of Christmas music out there and while we are most often concerned with the albums that come out every year, as you will see in a series of upcoming blog posts reviewing the ones I Continue Reading
On 3rd day of Christmas … I listened to A Very Trainor Christmas by Meghan Trainor
Quite possibly more than most seasons, Christmas is a delightful mix of the exuberantly, garrulously colourful and the meditatively, thoughtfully mellow depending on where you land over the course of December 25th and its fun but often hectic lead-up. This duality of feel and tone is reflected beautifully in A Continue Reading
Movie review: Palm Springs
Once more, to the time loop, my friends once more! While that is pretty much the raison d’etre of this particular genre of film, of which Groundhog Day and Edge of Tomorrow are likely the most well known examples, there can be a little foreboding about the fact that we Continue Reading
On 2nd day of Christmas … I watched Happiest Season
Coming out is never easy. Immensely freeing and rewarding, yes but not easy, something that becomes even more pronounced a reality at significant times of the year such as Christmas which is already already heavily-laden with expectation and a certain emotional intensity. There is never more apparent that in the Continue Reading
#Christmas book review: The Twelve Days of Dash & Lily by David Levithan and Rachel Cohn
Is Christmas a romantic time of year? That depends very much on who you ask but it is true, at least for the most part for Lily and Dash, two quite different young people who, after a red Moleskine book full of dares sends them running all New York and, Continue Reading
