Went to see Madame Butterfly last night at the Opera House, it was good. This morning we went for a swim at the Bondi Icebergs salt water pools, nice thing to do first thing in the morning.

Don't read if you haven't seen Kill Bill
Just got back from Seeing Kill Bill vol1, the dialog is well over the top, pulp fiction not hamlet, remember, I liked it over all I think I will let it settle before saying much more, apart from maybe the sound track was also a bit OTT is places - still overall I liked it. more later
In other news Emma brought an iPod, she has only had it for a day so I will hold back from the full apple products are godly. So far it seen pretty piss easy to use, it got me to install itunes even though I'm a) not on a mac b) don't have an ipod (Yet for both I'm hoping). Funny after Emma saying dont' need 40 GB, don't need 40GB she started ripping CDs about 10 into she says " I should have got the bigger one".
So retards of the world unite and move to Australia and plan online music sales. So installed iTunes thinking ooo ooo online music, but no, only available in the States. Email apple - no response, ring apple - “ No – check the website it might happen, but Australia has different yadda yadda yadda”, zzzzzzzzz. Look online - Telstra has ONE fucking label signed and may have something out before Christmas, a couple of other labels are also thinking about, baaaaaaaaaa. Kids if you wanna stop people nicking your music make it available online, here think about this “Oooo I really wanna listen to <insert favorite band of the day/> shall I fuck about looking on whatever has replaced napster and Kazaa for the full version of a song that is labeled right or should I spend 4 fucking seconds and a dollar and download it from itunes “ Baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa - read this

We have just had a fan-bloody-tastic weekend, even if it did get off to a shaky start. We had planned to go out for a few quiet drinks with friends, but as things do, it got a little out of hand and we both woke up feeling like crap - not even greasy egg sarnees helped. Anyway we managed to drag ourselves out of the house and up to the hunter valley to Opera in the Vineyards. Really cool idea, loads of great food and booze and you take everything else. We lay round listening to the music, eating and drinking. On the Sunday we drove round the Hunter Valley a bit more then headed home, with what appeared to be everyone else in Sydney, only took about 1/2 hour longer than I thought it was going to so the traffic wasn't too bad. Anyway go to the Hunter Valley, very beautiful.
