Cowboys & Angels

I’m not sure how or why I started watching this film when it screened this morning on “World Movies”, but I do remember seeing the title on the program guide and thinking, “oh yeh, I’m sure that’ll be interesting and it’ll only take an hour or so out of my life, so what the hey…” And it was interesting, a really good film and only occasionally did I feel that it went a little too…

Summer Holiday

It’s Wednesday night and I’ve just eaten some asparagus. Asparagus is very cheap at the moment and very yummy, especially when microwaved with some cheese on top. The last few days have been terrific, especially as I’ve been on holiday. So what have I been up to? On Sunday I had planned to go to the cricket, to see NSW play Tasmania at the SCG, but unfortunately the game was washed out. So I spent…

Spiritual Saturday

It’s Saturday night and I’ve just woken up from a little nap. I’m on holiday for the next two weeks and so I think it’s only right that I should have the occasional nap, especially as it’s been almost two years since I’ve had a proper holiday. There’s been the occasional day here and there, but the last real holiday I had was in the weeks leading up to going to Perth last year. Today…

Newcastle

It’s Wednesday night and I’m sitting at home having a glass of wine, although I should actually be at The Metro for the Chrissie Amphlett book launch. I would have gone, except that I’m a little tired after the last few days. I’ve just spent the last three days in Newcastle, due to work. The work was good and interesting and it was great to catch up with some of my colleagues from around Australia….

Lady Godiva

Lady Godiva

It’s Wednesday night and I’m just waiting for “The Simpsons” to come on television. Although I’m a little Teddie-tired and maybe a little run down, there’s lots happening in my life at the moment. Tonight, Laura and I went to the opening of a new gallery just around the corner from my place, Lushart. LushART is an online art gallery selling art and craft depicting themes of “love” and “lust”.. Hence, the gallery was opened…

Wilde

I should be heading off to bed, but I’ve just finished watching the 1997 Steven Fry movie about Oscar Wilde. I’d never seen it before, but I noticed it today in the program guide and thought “why not”, especially as it followed a television special called “Happy Birthday Oscar” which, though well intentioned, I thought was a little “forced”. This on the other-hand was a classic love story, conforming to many of the genre’s conventions….
