Taylor Swift v Todd Sampson

In which we learn that Shakespeare coined some great sayings.

Here’s Taylor Swift talking to Graham Norton. Here’s what she did for Christmas. Many other people have learned to love her too. Also Stew hearts Todd Sampson.

Also let’s see how Stew’s reading programme goes. And the crosswords and the rollerblading.

Stupidly Bins: West Melbourne, Reservoir.

Happy everything!

Hello! How to improve your self-improvement.

How to declutter your life. Number 12 involves putting a sock on some cords. Woah.

The first step certainly should NOT be getting a colonic irrigation.

Stew recommends The Day The Earth Stood Still. He basically describes the entire plot here. No discretion allowed. Also Soylent Green trailer here.

Lorin's driving the car.

Stew hasn’t been to bed. But it’s okay because he’s opting for quality over quantity.

In which we nominate Stupidly Small Podcast’s word of the year, man of the year and each other of the year. Also: was passive/aggressive always a thing?

In which we have an awkward conversation about Lorin getting Stew an expensive gift in a sale and Stew not getting Lorin anything.
