Is this thing on?
I have wanted to have an intelligent and thoughtful* blog about all things Australian and political for some time. I have opinions--sometimes even informed ones--and I can write, so why not? In fact, I'm pretty sure that was the whole point of my liberal arts degree (and perhaps the opposite of the point of the time I spent studying law). So, here it is: Ruby Wednesday.
I actually wanted to imply that I was a day behind Ruby Tuesday. What's behind Tuesday, I thought to myself? Wednesday! Well, clearly you can tell I've had a long week at work because the answer is not Wednesday, but Monday. Now I'm a day ahead (or six days behind) Ruby Tuesday. I also didn't realise there was an Eskimo Joe song by the same name. I guess I should have just fucking googled it.
Politically, I am a mixed bag. I am a recent arrival to Canberra from the Banana Republic. While I am no fan of Howard's, I also think that the state Labor governments have royally fucked a lot of things up. I'm an equal opportunity whinger. I doubt anyone will read this--it's more for my own personal satisfaction--but, if you do, I hope you enjoy what follows.
Ruby
P.S. I am not a huge fan of pink and red, but this blog does have Ruby in the title and my HTML skillz are woeful. Apologies for the layout.

About Ruby
- Ruby Wednesday
- Canberra, ACT, Australia
- Ruby knows a little about a lot and a lot about a little; it's how she earns her keep. While Ruby is not working, she is usually found asleep, reading, or obsessing about pop culture--sometimes all at once. Ruby lives in Canberra, which, according to some very optimistic ACT number plates, is the heart of the nation. She is, as much as she dislikes admitting it, actually a Queenslander.
