I’ve created another Minx site called Movie Minx. It’ll have my reviews of classic movies and be updated every few days.
But Minx, how can you possibly have the time to run Rich Minx, Travel Minx and Movie Minx, plus juggle your 10 adopted orphan children, your A-list movie career and relationship with Brad Pitt?
Well, let […]
Even if I was still in New York I would not be lining up days in advance for the new iPhone. Sorry, but I just don’t get it. It may be a brand new gadget, but do you really need to queue for days to spend $500-600 on one?
And it’s only the first version, so there […]
I made it to San Francisco in one piece! I will write a proper account of the whole thing but of course that will have to be on my other site, Travel Minx. Here I’ll mention the money.
A few people have exclaimed, “A six hour flight! Whoa!” but really, that’s nothing. NZ to LA is […]
Art of Money has a post called ‘How to be wealthy in 5 minutes‘. Spoiler: it prompts you to focus on the wonderful things in life now, and stop wanting things so much. Jon, I was expecting a giveaway! Just kidding. I agree. Constantly wanting things can be wearying and disturbing.
Example: Check out this video of […]
Dear New York,
It’s time for me to say goodbye now. It’s been two months, and you’re not exactly the cheapest city in the world. But I think we’ve had fun together. Remember that first day on the tour bus? The wind was freezing and made my nose ache, but the lights were flashing and you […]

Of the 10,000 competitions I’ve entered in my life, I’ve won about three. Still, this doesn’t hamper my optimism whenever another one comes up.
There’s a competition running to win an iPhone, which is due for release very soon and has resulted in more buzz than a caffeinated bee.
Go into the draw to win one by […]
How many magazines do you buy a month?
The only one I buy religiously is Empire UK because I’m a film fanatic. It’s pretty commercial but they have the odd insightful article and I enjoy their writing style and witty captions. Awesome website, too.
Empire costs $6 in the UK, $9 in the US and (gulp) $18 […]
“Cookies are a sometimes food.” - Cookie Monster, after learning about the growing US child obesity problem.
“Moderation is a fatal thing. Nothing succeeds like excess.” - Oscar Wilde, in response to the above.
Who is right? One of the greatest wits of our time, or Oscar Wilde? (Couldn’t resist.)
We are told to do things in […]
Lazy Man has a post on this topic and it’s a good idea. However, my first reaction is to respond, “I wouldn’t say anything!” simply because I’ve seen Back to the Future and know what can happen when you start messing with the past.
But the exercise isn’t literal, it’s more a way to reflect on […]
