I'm documenting the Brownlow Medal as I see it through Twitter on my Storify account.
Rolling throughout the night, so check it out.
I will reveal here that my fave dress of the night was on Belinda Riverso, girlfriend of Rory Sloane. Love cobalt! She looked gorgeous - although it was hard to pick. Even Brynne Edelstein looked nice.

My home city has been the subject of people's attention this weekend as mega boy-band One Direction touched down in Adelaide to start their first Australian tour.
There was a bit of confusion. I concluded people were idiots.
The week leading up to it was interesting enough. As life usually is. Read on!

I had a week off and spent it back home in Adelaide which was fabulous. I relaxed, saw all my friends and family, and even got to the Royal Adelaide Show.
As such, I've been slack in my new Storify venture, but I've caught up. If you want to see what I was interested in this last fortnight, follow the tweets.

IMO, Turnbull's gaffe and location-based cinema are great topics

3. goes with 2. in that I learnt a bit more about internet speak...
ICYMI, @Katiinkaa wrote a thoughtful piece examining films that quite literally hit too close to home. http://t.co/TVbvwUwNrb

I thought I knew abbreviations well. But I had to look this one up when a link to my article went up. A couple of nights before I also discovered via a Twitter conversation that IMO is 'in my opinion' (and later piecing together that IMHO adds 'honest').
Makes me feel a little ancient...

This inaugural Week That Was compilation is a bit long, I admit, but there was a lot going on! A lot of crazy things going on... Ben Affleck as Batman? A fork inside a man's privates? Can you blame me?

I was a bit late in finding out about the death of Roger Ebert yesterday... I went to bed last night in a really sad state.
The influence of Roger Ebert, film critic for the Chicago Sun-Times, wasn't felt in Australia in the same way as him homeland of the United States or elsewhere (the wonderful Margaret and David of At The Movies fill that spot).
But that didn't matter. His name was enough. His name was synonymous with greatness. Anyone who knows film knows Roger Ebert. Anyone wanting to be a critic held his view with in the highest regard. And it is the world that will rightfully mourn him.
Read the Sun-Times obituary. And see the reactions from the public below. I was that intrigued by the reactions that I created a Storify account to collate some of them:
