What is … or rather where is The Matrix?
I must confess it is a bit sad when it comes to wanting to watch a movie and despite owning two copies of the dvd, being unable to watch it. I like to think of The Matrix as a single movie and really don’t care about the other two movies prefering to forget that they [...]
Dodged that bullet
I managed to dodge the bullet, the one where I had to work this weekend as through some bizare interaction between the moon, the stars and my desk meant that i had the time to do the half day of work this afternoon.
Now that i think about it, it was a weird kind of day. [...]

Interestingly enough there are parties organised to celebrate the birthday. You know there has to be some love in [...]

Rushing Dexter
On friday i got my copy of series one of Dexter back from a workmate that i loaned it to and have been rushing through all twelve episodes because tomorrow night i am loaning them to Pam and she normally takes a while to get around to watching dvds. So far i have made it [...]
Sea Patrol just keeps getting …
Sea Patrol just keeps getting more and more crap every episode - its hard i am sure to be that consistantly awful
Something New
I am trying out ScribeFire to post to my blogs. Its a little different to what i am used to but its great having it integrated into Firefox to save having to opening up another client or even the blog’s post page.
Think i will keep it!
