Ephemera

The ramblings of a lunatic expat.

I am Californian who relocated to Melbourne, Australia in 2006..

I'm a manicurist and a madwoman and I do a damn good job at both.

Whenever a middle-aged person starts pushing onto a tram or train before all the alighting passengers have alighted I want to video it and add it to my imaginary showreel for boring journalists, smug broadcasters and general deadshits entitled “Selfishness and Narcissism Know No Generational Classifications”.


Exactly.

You want to see how selfish humanity is, in general regardless of generation? Hang out in a tourist town, and a steady stream of Exhibit A will parade before your very eyes.

Puerto Rico, Orlando, Charleston, VA Beach, Las Vegas

The visitors were usually different, but the behavior was always the same.
Me first, you second.

Same with working on cruise ships. The only reason I don’t hate the entire human race is because I learned to dial down all the assholes to dimly noticeable hum in the background.
