Well the Commodore is slowly dying, apart from the Drivers seat which is bent, the Driver`s side door lock actuators are screwed, resulting in the doors not being able to be opened, so imagine if you will, me hauling my butt across the centre console to the passenger side to get out, if these are replaced then we need to replace the Body Control Module, all up looking at $1-$2,000 to fix it, so we`re thinking its time to investigate Car Leasing.
IMDB
Verdict :
Umm, I should have waited for Inglorius Basterds to start. It was Ok, just not great, you really need to turn your brain off to watch this, but its ok as a brainless blowing crap up movie, As for Inglorius Basterds, tomorrow is Tight Ass Tuesday, so we`ll see.
Bought 3 DVD`s today, Clerks & Chasing Amy 2-Pack from Revolution CD for $11.95 thereby completing my ViewAskew universe DVD Collection and I also got Jersey Girl from K-Mart for $7, I still need to get Zack and Miri Make a Porno to complete my Kevin Smith Collection though.
Meanwhile, i`m on the downhill run to 150,000 Experience points in Farmtown, DAMN Facebook games.
Well, I haven`t been motivated to do anything today(well besides sleep a bit). So I thought i`d do a quick blog, hasn`t been much happening to update you this week, we`re off to Sydney this weekend to visit Adele`s friend Gemma and her husband Sam & their daughter Natalie who you`ve all heard about on Adele`s Blog. So we`re staying in Parramatta, time to get the GPS out again cause I got no idea.
So what`s new this week :
Tetris Turns 10
Click the pick above for a link to a page with 10 interesting tid-bits on Tetris. All I remember is Kirsty and Mary playing this damn game for hours, I never really got into it(or was it I was never real good at it ).
The Future of Flash Memory is e-SATA/USB keys.
Click the photo for a link to the Japanese supplier, unfortunately my kanji is a little rusty so you`ll have to translate yourself.
Mandatory Swine Flu Pic :
Just when I thought Swine Flu pics were getting hard to find, I`ve found more for future blogs
New “Search Engine” Technically its a “computational knowledge engine” but in effect you can ask it questions. I`ve got some that I`ve seen entered in that amused me :
How much wood could a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood
meaning of life
are you skynet
hello
what is your name
Seems pretty cool, you can experiment around with it.
So whilst we`re on search engines as such : Bing.
As usual click the image for a link, this is Microsoft`s latest crack at Google, personally I`m sticking with Google.
Now E3 is currently going on, new stuff out Beatle`s Rockband, New Wii Motion Plus controller, but what I think is the grand announcement is Project Natal from Microsoft :
This is gonna rock, all you people who bought Wii`s and PS3`s are feeling pretty sick right now aren`t ya.(Well Yes I do own all 3 so I didn`t technically make a choice)
For all my E3 news I personally follow IGN and Kotaku for all my E3 news, as well as my standard Tech Blogs : Gizmodo and Engadget.
Now at the Google I/O conference they made an announcement about a new product called Google Wave You can watch the video below but essentially it`s what Email should have been, looks cool will have iPhone and Android compatability, so Awesome, can`t wait.
Couple of new movie trailers for you all :
Moon, Sam Rockwell, good actor, this looks like a good thriller coming out.
For Kirsty, Mary and Adele : New Moon :
I tweeted this the other day, but Adele missed it, so I thought i`d put it up here for you.
Toy Story 3 :
What`s not to love about a new Pixar movie, I`m REALLLY looking forward to Up. Let me guess you don`t know what that is, well here :
Now the new comedy I want to see is called The Hangover :
The scene with Mike Tyson cracks me up.
Anyway, better go see what life is doing whilst i`ve been doing this. Till next time. Bye.
Ok, so i`ve done 3 posts in a week, no i`m not ill, just sitting here waiting for stuff to finish downloading. So whats entertained me :
Reminds me of Big
I`ve now watched Most of Miami Ink(Need the DVD`s thinking it`s worth buying them). I`ve watched all of LA Ink up to end of season 3, waiting for season 4 now and i`ve watched all of London Ink up to the end of Season 2, now waiting for season 3. When I was getting tattoo`d, Lugh the artist said that one of his Tattoo mates has told him he is filming Sydney Ink. So when I came home I jumped straight on the net and found the info, I`m definitely going to have to apply for this . See Link for details.
Ok, now I did buy a Snuggie/Cosie/Cuddly/Slanket. But I draw the line at the wearable towel :
“It`s the Towel with arm holes”
Mandatory Swine Flu Shot (It`s getting harder to find these): Piglet`s mate`s are starting to feel a little paranoid now.
One gripe from this week, i`ve now seen a car driving round Queanbeyan twice with the License plate : Rolls, My gripe is not with the personalised number plate its the fact that it’s Rolls on a Mercedes. Dammit you can`t afford a rolls get over it. Owner of the car if you`re reading this : CHANGE YOUR LICENSE PLATE.
Now those of you who are old enough will remember a little gem from the 80`s called V.
I personally remember it, but only from episodes I managed to watch without my parent`s finding out. Well they`re remaking it :
Ok, I`ve been to watch a few movies in the last month, Fast and Furious (BORING & full of plot holes), Monster`s Vs Aliens (Decent movie, can`t wait for it on DVD in 3D) & Finally Star Trek, for those of you who don`t read my Tweets, Basically I loved this movie, JJ has done a massively excellent job, for those interested here is the trailer :
Now I also watched the new X-Men Origin`s : Wolverine movie. Whilst it was a good movie, it wasn`t anywhere near on the scale of Star Trek, I highly recommend Star Trek as a good Action Movie, not even as a Trekkie movie.
Hold up, just found this :
Its a short that aired in the previews for Bolt.
Alright that`s it, i`m bored and Azrael needs feeding. Bye.
2009, is full of some good movies, some of which have Trailers out some don`t, so here`s some of the movies i`m waiting for this year :

- Otherwise known in Australia as G-Force, this is a CGI release, can`t wait for this.
DragonBall – Evolution :
Release: April 8, 2009
- Don`t know if i`m anticipating or cringing at this, it doesn`t appear to be a good live-action version, but then i`ve never seen a real good cartoon to live-action remake.
X-Men Origin`s : Wolverine :
Release: May 1, 2009
- 1st in the X-Men Origin`s series, apparently Magneto is the next one, this will finally bring my favourite mutant : Gambit to the big screen, initial reviews are disappointing but i`ve been avoiding them to hopefully watch it with no pre-conceptions.

He was nicknamed McG from birth to differentiate him from his uncle and grandfather, both of whom are also named Joe) who`s previous efforts have been both Charlie`s Angel`s movies, it`s another Cringe or Anticipate, I just don`t know, Trailer looks good though.

- Transformers, the first was good, let`s see another.
Ice Age 3: Dawn of the Dinosaurs

There is other`s i`ll be watching like : 9, Coraline, Monster`s Vs Alien`s, Knowing, Push & probably some i`ve forgotten but we`ll have to wait and see about any others. Anyway, that`s it for today, Bye.
No before photo`s cause it was a health hazard before hand, but now as you can see the office is now tidy, I still need some more storage tubs from Big W but apart from that it`s done and looks wonderful, Adele may even be able to come in here : Now need to get some good setup going here, we`re trying to look at wireless colour laser MFD(multi-function devices) so we can have it setup downstairs and fax, copy, print & scan all wirelessly, then i`m going to have 2 desks in here seperated by a bookcase sitting on a filing cabinet, trust me it sounds odd but will be cool, they have it setup nearly right at the Ikea at Homebush but I have changed their design a fair bit. I have drawing of it at work but I haven`t sent it home.
Alright until next time, tonight we`re either going to watch Yes Man or Role Models depending on which Adele is up for, I also have Punisher : War Zone but I don`t think Adele will be up for that. Anyway, cya all. Bye.
Well, I`ve been back for a while I guess, just didn`t want to admit it.
Our Trip to Ballina was awesome, we had fun and could do it again, but next time for much longer, and next time we`d like to be up there for a 20/20 game, Our Huge thanks out to Kim and Beth and the Resort DeMontwood, the place looks great and the pool area is stunning, there is a construction on the side that is coming along nicely too, Kim says its a shed to cover the pool filter, I say its a self contained Bar and Snooker Room, I`ll come help you finish it next time Kim, but only when its not so hot.
Still I have a trip to Sydney with the wife(staying overnight in 5 star luxury) to see Top Gear Live and then we`re off to Stradbroke Island for 10 Days, woohoo, and I miss out on the 2 night shifts before I go, so I might even be lucid for those 10 days yay. Now I`m also looking forward to hiring a scooter for those 10 days, so we need someone who lives near Stradbroke Island to go and get us Pricing(Hmm does Clare actually read this thing).
So everyone is losing weight for this wedding dealy, so I`ve made my blog Bacon Optional, for those of you who still want Bacon click here : Phrog Hollow With Bacon . Take`s a second to load, but those bacon lovers out there will appreciate it.
On a lighter note, I have found something to help those trying to loose weight :The Toilet Scale, now I`ve often stated I feel 2 kilo`s(or more sometimes) lighter after visiting the smallest room in the house, now I can definitely tell, i`m tracking down somewhere to actually buy this now, but alas it appears it is in design stage only at the moment.
Well, CES (Consumer Electronics Show) for the unitiated/unsophisticated, is over for another year. This year`s winner was in my opinion the Palm Pre : Again no details on release dates to Australia but looks good, I was holding out for an Android phone, but this is pretty spectacular, watch the video`s around the net and it speaks for itself. I`m waiting till after Mobile World Congress is over as apparently HTC have some damn good stuff coming that runs Android, but we`ll see.
Now I know Mary is sitting there going that`s nothing special, so yes I did find something at CES I think she would apppreciate, no its not the Elvis Singalong pack : But the Elvis pack did come a close second, no I looked at your sense of elegance, taste, and love of all things shiny and glittery, it is the Furry Phone :
Now we are still waiting for someone to start actually producing this item in mass numbers, but be aware, i`m on the email waiting list and i`ll let you know.
Anyway what have I done in the last 4 days? Well I mowed the lawn, changed the washers in the Shower so now we don`t have to watch the water dripping and replaced the Gas bottle in the BBQ, I also watched a crap load of Malcolm in the Middle which I just finished, I`m onto How I Met Your Mother next.
I did get Bolt so I watched that, it Ridunculous, well you`ll all understand when I send copies out, when does school holidays end?? Cause Kirsty I found the Girls the most awesome movie to watch, after this the High School Musical Trilogy will pale into comparison : That`s right kiddies, all the singing and dancing, but with added God, and none of the classy Disney production values that worry about things like wether most kids would rather stab themselves in the eye with a spoon(because it`ll hurt more – did everyone get the Robin Hood reference there) than watch this crap or not.
We did spend last night watching Twilight(Very Crappy version, Adele demanded I download it). Well After watching it and making stupid comments throughout I think Adele is nearly learning to ignore me. Now I wont pass judgement on this and what it missed in the whole established vampire genre just yet until I see it in perfect clarity and can then rip it to pieces objectively. We then watched the end of the Cricket, and spent an enjoyable half hour at the end trying to find Kim and Beth in the Crowd, alas we didn`t see them but we tried.
Well, i`m spent, time to watch some NCIS and Mentalist fresh from the USA, stuff you Australian TV, Fastracking means actually getting off your lazy butts and airing it quicker than I can download it.
