On this lazy friday evening, I thought to myself, "I feel like sharing my thoughts with the interweb ether. But my thoughts about what? What does the ether need to hear my opinion about?" And then I discovered that Jarvis Cocker will be gracing us with his presence at the V Festival on the Gold Coast on April 1st ( Read more... )

So now that the Australia Day weekend is drawing to a close and I've had just about as much patriotism as I need for 2007, I need to rant a little about the triple J hottest 100. The Hottest 100 always leaves me disappointed, but each year I get excited anyway, because, well, I love lists. There's no other reason. Except maybe the H100/Oz Day BBQs ( Read more... )

A number of thoughts that I needed to unburden myself of today ( Read more... )

The geek in me (which, let's face it, is all of me) rejoices today, for Joss Whedon is to direct an episode of the US Office.

With my Office cravings now satisfied, I shall resume my list making, moving onto the year in music.

Of course this year that may or may not have had something to do with a bottle of cheap white wine and ( Read more... )

There are many reasons why I often get disgruntled with Brisbane, but this Christmas Eve weekend has given me quite a few good reasons to stay in Brisbane forever, most namely ( Read more... )

I saw the Road to Guantanamo today, and firstly, god bless Michael Winterbottom - this makes two brilliant films he's released here this year (Tristram Shandy: A Cock and Bull Story being the other!) and I'm so glad there are filmmakers like him and Alejandro Gonzalez Innaritu about. Secondly, I was going to write a long speel about it, but I don't ( Read more... )

As in the past 3 years this journal has sat and festered like one of Bernard Black's discarded jam sandwiches, and as I am currently enjoying the leisurely life of a uni student on holidays and have little else to do, this seemed like the opportune time to put this journal to some use. Mainly as a home for my inconsequential, nonsensical thoughts ( Read more... )
