Scorched
There is a new telemovie coming on tv tonight by the name of Scorched which is set in 2012 in the middle of a terrible drought and with water levels beyond crisis levels, chaos sets in when people are just trying to get enough water to live and criminal elements trying to cash in on [...]
Long time no update
Wow long time no update hey but at least i have kept the daily photoblogs updating. Things here have been a little busy with work being totally mad and then on top of that being home i have had the “joy”of the new puppy coming hoe. Boyd is a lovely little fellow but is a [...]
Totally Hooked
I just watched the first episode of Jekyll and what can i say, its so freakingly different and i can’t help but be drawn to it. The first episode was impressive to say the least as it follows Tom Jackman, the modern day decendant of the real life Dr Jekyll.

The Highest
I had to chuckle when i read an article about five students expelled for sniffing aerosol cans on school grounds when the article revealed that the school motto is “Ï strive for the highest”. Great to have them putting in so hard to achieve the motto!

The tv coverage of the Olympics here has been giving me the shits this afternoon. Channel 7 broke away to cover the AFL again here which is ok, I could still watch the SBS coverage but from the return both 7 and sbs have been covering the women’s cycling road race which is ok, i [...]
And they start
Well day one of the olympics and i have spent most of the time in front of the tv watching one sport or another. I watch using the timeshift function of my hdd recorder so i can fast forward the sports i don’t like.
I did also catch some of the opening ceremony and watch [...]
Patriotic National Pride Installed and Ready to go
Well, its Olympic time all over again and no doubt the whole country will be under a patriotic cloud of feeling good about ourselves. Us Aussies are nothing if not a sporting mad nation and we do like to win. Our national psyche likes to see us as the underdog as a small nation (population [...]
