Lastnight I watched a couple of movies… saw The Proposition – an Aussie movie (written by Nick Cave) which was set at the end of the bush-ranger era in colonial Australia. Three brothers and their gang attack and rape the wife of one of the wealthier families. The police catch two of the brothers [...]
Think I’ve found what I want the hair dresser to do to me on my next visit…

On Saturday night we watched Must Love Dogs and In Good Company.
Must Love Dogs was a standard romantic comedy with pretty-much all the usual stereo-types. Although it wasn’t amazingly original, there wasn’t anything particularly bad about it and there were a few funny parts (and I like John Cusack movies), so overall I [...]
On Saturday we Pimp’d Kristy’s ride… As neither of us are car people, we didn’t lower the vehicle, we didn’t install fluorescent lights, or put mag wheels on it. We didn’t increase the performance of the machine by putting in a turbo, inter-cooler, extractors or even adding an exhaust-pipe big enough for me to [...]
On Friday I dropped my car off at the local mechanic to service and fix my brakes. As much as I was starting to get used to the sound of grinding metal and the constant fear that I may need to stop suddenly and wouldn’t be able to, I’m so happy that my car [...]

I’ve come to loath public holidays since I work from a home-office. Whilst everyone else is enjoying the fact that they don’t have to wake-up, get ready and commute to work – I’m [...]

Kristy has also joined the gym which has provided some much needed motivation and [...]
Kristy took some pics with our digital camera yesterday and when we went to view them we discovered there were a few pics from Christmas that we hadn’t downloaded… so here they are…
The pics above are of Con enjoying his “Welcome Back To Australia Giftpack” that we got him for Christmas – it [...]
Sunday we saw V for Vendetta and it was excellent! The writing credits go to the Wachowski brothers who previously gave us The Matrix trilogy. I was very anxious as they have a lot of talent, but went off the rails after the first Matrix film. They finished the trilogy well by abandoning [...]
On Friday night I had a multi-cultural drinking evening – my local bottl’o had a a special on an 8-pack of premium beers. Throughout the evening, I enjoyed the bitter flavours of:

Beck’s Premium Pilsner (Germany)
Heineken (Amsterdam)
Pilsner Urquell (Czech Republic)
James Squire’s Original Amber Ale (Australia)
Tiger Beer (Singapore)
Kirin Ichiban (Japan)
Birra Moretti (Italy)
Some were [...]
