The Odd Angry Shot
The Odd Angry Shot is an Australian movie made in 1979 about a group of Aussie soldiers in Vietnam during the conflict. It is a black comedy, with most of the movie set between sorties and how they keep themselves entertained. Having a plethora of then up-and-coming Australian names such as John Jarrod and Bryan Brown as well as the subject ( Read more... ) -
Lyrics
Well it would probably come as no surprise that I actually listen to the lyrics of songs not just the music and how the words suit the music. In a sense I analyze the words of the song and that can make as much difference to me as the music. This I can probably blame a brilliant High School English teacher I had in 9th grade - Mrs Loadsman. We ( Read more... ) -

Watching Animal Documentaries

What to do when...
you are just effectively marking time. You know that there are 6 billion things to document that only you know how to do, but you just do give a rats anymore. You just don't want to be there, so each day unless the phones are running hot is a long drawn out affair of mind-numbing boredom that really should not be there; but it is...

A New Year
Well it is the end of the first day of 2007.
The last 6 weeks have been hell for the most part. I find from Mid-November to the end of the year bitter-sweet due to the memories of losing loved ones at this time of year. Well another loved one falls in this period. My cousin-in-law at the young age of 37 (just 2 years my senior), died early in the ( Read more... )
