My sister has a penchant for deciding that we are going to experience “sister bonding” whilst doing things I detest. This year she begged and begged until I finally agreed to accompany her to a Anthromorphic taxidermy class. Anthromorphic taxidermy is the stuffing and preserving of animals whilst giving them actions, accessories, or characteristics from […]

Currently, the Barbican is hosting a fabulous exhibition called Digital Revolution. It’s a wonderful interactive exhibition which celebrates how far digital technology has come in a short period of time, and also leads voice to the great things still to come digitally. The exhibition is divided into segments – some more impressive than others – […]
This the season for gingerbread lattes, red berries on sticks, trees, and getting white-girl-wasted at the company Christmas party (four checkmarks for this chick so far)– and it’s also, apparently the season for giving! Now as a personal rule, I do not purchase from UK Amazon for a variety of holier-than-thou reasons, and as a […]
This little post will be my 100th post on MakingtheMarrow.com! This blog started as an experiment while going through a bit of a tricky situation in life, and it’s now become a project that I enjoy so much. I was recently asked what my blog was about and when I responded “London, Theatre Reviews, Sketches, […]

In response to Russia’s new anti-gay legislation and the anti-gay attacks that they have provoked we encourage people to show their support for LGBTQ people […]
The internet is an incredible place. It brings people together, connects nations, but there’s some weird stuff out there. Here’s some screen grabs that I’ve collected that really make me giggle. Thanks Bing. What the hell is going on here? Wrong line. HOW HARD CAN IT BE? And how many reporters meet state standards, exactly? […]
A year ago the Olympics pulled into town, and shorty afterwards, I ruined my life. After watching Jess Ennis win gold at the Olympic Stadium, I was overwhelmed by how envious I was of someone who was my age and achieving things. I felt I wasn’t really getting anywhere or doing anything to be proud […]
The Killers were meant to play a show in Luxembourg in March but, fortunately for me, they had to cancel through illness, meaning that tickets were readily and cheaply available for the replay on 6th June. (Whoa whoa did you just travel to another country to see a rock show? Yes, and I’m very glad […]
The other day I skyped my darling sister Amanda Pulham, who happens to be both a more talented artist than I am, and funnier than me. I know, right? Some people get dipped in all the right gene pools. She wished me a Happy Birthday, and then said “Or as the Koreans say, ‘Congratulations Sea […]
