Turning Passion into Profit – Creative Entrepreneur Panel

( Work )

Lastnight I attended another Networx Marketing event titled: Turning Passion into Profit – Creative Entrepreneur Panel. It was at Uber at West End (which I had never been to before, but will definitely go to again as it’s quite funky). The panelists were: Kelly Baker, Director – Edible Blooms Tiffany Wood, Managing Director – TONI&GUY [...]

Family Stone and Thumbsucker

This week I watched The Family Stone and Thumbsucker. Neither of the movies were fantastic and although I liked some of the characters out of The Family Stone, I didn’t feel it really lived-up to the standards of other dysfunctional family / romantic comedies (despite an all-star cast) that I’ve seen. If you have a [...]

Failure to Launch and a History of Violence

On Friday night we rented Failure to Launch and a History of Violence – and I must say that both movies were really enjoyable. I was expecting a typical romantic comedy with Failure to Launch – something that was humorous, but not have me laughing out loud… but it surprised me and was actually funnier [...]

New Car

After much troubles sourcing finance (being self-employed is fantastic until you need to borrow money), I finally purchased a new(er) car… It’s a 2001 model Mitsubishi Lancer: There’s nothing amazing about the car, but I’ve always like the look of Lancer’s and mechanically the car is quite good. It’s also a 1.8L with is a [...]

New Bookcase

Over the past few weeks things have been fairly crazy with my car debacle and it has made both Kristy and I review our finances and subsequently set some budgets and goals. One of the things that we would like to do is progressively upgrade our lounge room furniture (coach, tv stand/cabinet and a bookcase [...]

Match Point, Derailed and The Pink Panther

Last week we watched Match Point, Derailed and The Pink Panther. Match Point is a Woody Allan movie, and from what I read, you either love his movies or hate them. I haven’t seen many of his films, but I’d have to say I fall into the “Hate Them” category. I don’t know whether it [...]

Car hassles, networking and other stuff…

( Work )

This has been yet another very busy week. On Sunday Kristy, Caleb and I went car shopping and ended-up finding a car that we all really liked at our local car dealership – Ross Llewellyn Motors. It was a 2001 Mitsubishi Lancer with alloy wheels, body kit, reasonable k’s on the clock and generally looked [...]

Vampires, Werewolves and Mexican

This week I watched Underworld 2: Evolution and last night enjoyed a very tasty meal at Monte Zuma’s Mexican Restaurant. Underworld was good (if you like vampires vs. werewolves)…. basically picks-up from where the original Underworld movie ends and continues with lots of action. They also worked-on including a little more plot this time which [...]

My car was stolen

The reason I haven’t blogged so far this week was because last Wednesday night my car was stolen. I woke on Thursday morning to discover it wasn’t where it was left the night before I called the Police and my insurance company and everyone was rather helpful and the car was located within 24 hours [...]
