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.

So the squirrel from the bench, catbert and bofth, have nothing on Foxtel program director, or whatever their evil title maybe. So Sunday moto GP is on, and they show the 125 and the 250 races and I�m just getting ready for the main event and what happens, they switch to a replay of the Saturday RWC game between Italy and NZ, baa it�s a �"$%#�%$ replay, they then show the race �delayed� later that night which I miss. Then today the race is on and what happens they push it back so they can show Baseball, this I can almost understand because its live, however its still baseball, baaa evil evil evil I tell you, what was wrong with showing it live instead of bumping it so we can see 54 million rugby replays, arses.

And from the "For the love of sweet Jesus" Corner, Wilberto sent me this.
Well Sydney seemed to remember it is meant to be a sunny warm place on saturday, instead of a cold rainy shite hole. So we went over to manly to catch up with Zoe and Vinney who are back from there travels and take in the Manly Jazz Festival on so we lay round in the sun listening to jazz. We then erm went for an Indian as you do at the beginning of the night ( not a good idea by the way) then bounced round a few bars.

So I meant to say something about the weekend instead of rant, so here we go. Saturday we were going to go for a walk round the north shore, but it was windy and not that hot (after being 25+ all week) so we went for a wander into town and there was a wine and food thing on in Hyde Park, lots of Yummy Food and good booze a very pleasant why to spend a Saturday. Then Saturday night we caught up with a Cousin that was over for the weekend, which was cool. It was good to catch up after not having seen him for 10 years. Sunday was pretty relaxed we went for a drive then mooched at home, with a small �lets watch a crap movie� interlude of watching �About Schmidt�. Slice of life movies interest me about as much as soaps, woo watch people going through all the unpleasant things you get to do, woo nothing unreal no escape, good use of my time. Also watched the first half of the Liverpool game, baa, I don�t watch, they win, I do watch, they lose.
So incase you haven't heard its ok to be sexist and racist in New Zealand, just don't hit your kids or take drugs.
Why hasn�t the arse been fired? In a country that is so overly politically correct I would have assumed calling someone a "cheeky darkie� would have been grounds for dismissal, if he had called a Maori a �cheeky darkie� one assumes it may have been different � however seeing as it was only the Secretary General of the United Nations - it is ok.
Well done Mr. Holmes New Zealand is once again in the world news because you are a twat and the people you work for have no spine.
ew Zealand, just don't hit your kids.

Hmmmmmm so our flat has this weird temperature differential, its never above about 15 degrees downstairs compaired to either upstairs or the outside world. Which leads me nicely into even if its about 25 and humid as a bastard outside as I have just found out I mean how can it be that different, we dont have double glazing, AC or any other temperature altering device. We have some freak heat sink of a living room, hmmm I'm thinking House or the school in Buffy, take your pick.

I have now eatin in the rocks 3 times and two have been crimes against food, it is an evil place for tourists. How I ask you can you cock up scallops and pasta ? By making it taste about as interesting as cardboard, that is how the place we went on Saturday did it, Baaa.
So food rant over, Sunday was cool, we drove round in circles attempting to escape from road closure due to the Marathon, then finally got into the blue mountains and did a bit of walking. Great place even if they have closed the walk we wanted to do. This turned out to be a good thing as we did a couple of other shorter walker and felt totally buggered so god knows what would have happened if we had opted for the 5 hour walk. We also went on a scenic rail thing which was kinda cool, once agian I'll have a look for a link to it later.
