Graeme Simsion quotes about
drinking alcohol risk
Research consistently shows that the risks to health outweigh the benefits of drinking alcohol. My argument is that the benefits to my mental health justify the risks.
cricket-match people needs
Professor Tillman. Most of us here are not scientists, so you may need to be a little less technical.’ This sort of thing is incredibly annoying. People can tell you the supposed characteristics of a Gemini or a Taurus and will spend five days watching a cricket match, but cannot find the interest or the time to learn the basics of what they, as humans, are made up of.
listening listening-to-music
You can’t go through life not listening to music.
technology ideas long
I worked in information technology and academia for a long time and met many people who were better with things and ideas than with people.

Our first relationship with a male is with our fathers. It affects how we relate to men forever.

bookstore
I am a big advocate of the role of the bookstore in the community.

There's definitely a role for online booksellers, but they can't host events, bring people together, and form a personal relationship in the way a bricks-and-mortar store and its staff can.
comedic coming dramas funny iconic modern occasional secondary
Interestingly for me, modern rom coms have not always been funny - many of the iconic rom coms are more like light dramas with occasional comedic moments, often coming from secondary character.
