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.

I talk about ‘The Grandma Rule’ a lot. I try to behave when traveling like I’m at my grandmother’s house. Hate her food and she may be a right wing crack pot, but I’m gonna have seconds, I’m gonna smile, and say, ‘Thank you, Grandma. I really appreciate it.’

Anthony Bourdain, speaking on WTF with Marc Maron, explaining how he can sit and share a meal with people who have opposite views and philosophies than
him.

I love Anthony Bourdain because he loves Melbourne more than Sydney and he hates the same people I hate (Jamie Oliver, Sandra Lee, etc).
