"its in the things they never say..."

"how long is too long?
how far is away?
when it all feels so wrong in the end
and the time that it takes from yer day
and it's my time... again..."

i'm listening to bidston moss, they are/were from melborne and i really love them. and i haven't listened to it in ages but it's quite splendid really.

Erin and I went to see the Family Stone this morning with the delightful SJP and Owen Wilson (Claire Danes, Diane Keaton, yada yada) and i must say it was funny and also sad and all in all, a pretty darn well rounded film.

I give it four stars, but keep in mind I'm in love with SJP and Matthew Broderick so I may be a little biased....!! no i think most people would find it quite nice to watch really... it's not TOO soppy or romantic and the funny bits are fun-ny and there's a nice bit of sarcasm in there and a bit of touching stuff as well.

Nice one bruv.

hoo ha and ho hum...

now i know U2 are, for lack of a more cliched word ;).... a supergroup.

but i honestly can't say i'd spend large amounts of money to go and see them like so many have. i also found out through a friend that an old friend of mine has bought half a dozen tickets to put them up on e-bay a week or so before the gig. and i think that's shit, all it does is rob tickets from people who actually want to go. and so to him i say SUCKS SUCKS SUCKS to YOU!

the delectible (sp??) polly dyed my hair again for me last night... and i'm starting to look like jessica rabbit... which would be cool if i also had a tight body, but not quite there yet!! hehe.

i'm thinking of going to see the producers or the family stone today, even if nobody goes with me.
it's air conditioned.
last week we saw narnia... and whilst it was good there was something about it... i think sometimes the kids shit me or something. the opening scene made me bawl my eyes out but.

Harold is trying to kill Paul Robinson?! *phwoar*

buzz! (ps2)

ok, best game EVER!!

i tried out this when back in addylaid over the silly season and was SO suitably impressed I bought myself a copy even though I'm not supposed to spend so much money on such luxury items! bah!

so we spent 6 hours playing it last night? is that excessive or WHAT??

hey hey hey, what's goin' on rudy?

things i did in addylaid...

saw high fidelity for the first time with philo and jules after having made up some cold rolls for the patient... high fidelity fucking rocks. i love john cusack... still not quite as much as johnny depp or jason schwartzman but there you go.

had pies from the purveyour of pies in williamstown and was witness to a returning kitty who had been on a six month adventure...

got particularly fuschnicken at the grace with judy, lucinda, yas, trav, woody and fiona. which was truly fun indeed.

spent a fine evening with heidi & warwick and our mates playing a very rawkus round of BUZZ on Ps2. i told my folks i'm surprised they didnt hear us two streets away because it really was quite ridiculous the amount of noise we made. it was a pre-new years eve in itself...

(ok, how the FROCK can that FROCKWIT from Australian Idol have such a popular single out already... i'm talking about erm, i even forget his name, but the guy with the stupid hair who apparently 'outsung' dan who as far as i'm concerned should have been in the top two... i actually got a little sucked in last year because of him, because i wanted to see how badly the bad hair bandid sung and cheer when he got booted off... but it didnt happen til right til the end... and if its supposed to be a singing contest, he never should have gotten in in the first place. thats my two cents)

ok... found my therapist. he's not dead, but he was very sweaty, as it should be on new years.

more later.

in 2006 i intend to...

take up a new dance class...
do things like yoga and swimming regularly to assist my weary hyper-mobile bones...
perhaps do some volunteering reading to the blind or at a childrens hospital where theres a kids radio station...
explore more of queensland...
save enough money to go on another overseas adventure...
stop smoking or at least not smoke very much...
drink less carbonated drinks...
and write much more interesting things more regularly on my blog...

still in adelaide but heading back to brisneyland in the next few hours... an update on my adventures shall ensue.

schlappy new year everyone!
