...until the voting for the Triple J Hottest 100 closes. Get 'em in! I LOVE the Hottest 100 with all my heart and every year I make sure I listen to it, but this year, I will be at the Big Day Out instead. Not a bad compromise. :) Here's my ten songs I voted for this year: Be Yourself - Audioslave Wish You Well - Bernard Fanning Lounger - Dogs Die In Hot Cars Best Of You - Foo Fighters I Was

So, I fly into JFK International at 4:50pm on the 27th of Janurary. Then, I have to get to Washington. SOMEHOW. Yeah, I only got a ticket to New York cause it was cheaper, but now I have to get to Washington and the price it will cost me to get there would have been the same as if I had just bought a ticket from Sydney to Washington, but ANYWAY! How do I get from New York to Washington? The

In a word. "Meh" I had high expectations from King Kong. I thought it had a lot of things going for it. Peter Jackson Naomi Watts Jack Black CGI A Catchy Film Title. Ok, maybe not that many things.... ..but I went into this movie hoping for a bit of substance and a half-decent movie. What did I get? A 75% computer animated movie with a thin boring plot and more 'big' things than Australia's

Ouchies. Just remember that even though it may be overcast, and not that hot, the UV rays get through kiddies. My back and chest feel like they have been sandwiched in between a foccacia grill for 30 seconds. Poor me... On the up side, I managed to attached a cheapo sun-shade from Go-lo onto a pergola. On the down side, the shade was too big for the pergola and it flaps in the breeze, but on

Finally! I can now reveal the news that has been bubbling under the surface of my life for the last 2 months. As you may have seen, I have referred to this news a little recently, and almost gave it away with an exciteable post a few weeks back. So just hurry up and tell us. My attention span only lasts so long! Oooh....is that a possum....? I will be moving to Washington D.C. as of the 27th

It's been a quiet weekend, but on Friday night, I happened to head into Civic to have a look at some of the cars on Lonsdale St, in Braddon. For a long time now, Lonsdale Street has been a mecca for burnouts, hotted up cars and more recently, lots of cops. I am not sure what the attraction to the place is, but apparently it's fun to set up a folding chair at the end of the street and watch all

As a kid, didn't you hate seeing those big 'Back to School' signs in K-Mart and Best and Less just weeks after you stopped school and don't want to think about it for at least 5 1/2 weeks? Well, just as much, I hate the whole 'Back to Work' thing, which I am currently doing, as we speak, apart from the whole blogging thing, which means I am not really working so much.....yet.

Christmas is here. You can tell because it's stinking hot, and I am walking around the house without a shirt on. I really like the fact that Christmas Eve is a Saturday this year. Normally I work on it, and then all of a sudden Christmas is here. This year, it's like the calm before the storm. I can have a nice relaxing day (no presents to buy!) before the big day. Of course, the best

I'm here to report that there are no Australian Blog Awards. I do not think that I should be nominated for any category. I do not think that you should check out the site and browse some of Australia's best blogs. I do not think that there are plenty of blog sites that you probably should nominate.

Ok, so you have a favourite band, and you want to listen to a radio station that plays lots of their music, as well as other songs that sound similar? So, what we do is go to Pandora, and enter a band or artists name.... I'm in a bit of a Gunners mood. Let's see what it throws up... Pandora now goes off and creates a radio station around the band, artist or song title that you have entered

Un-Australian? This annoying little tag line that we hear so often does not even begin to describe the actions of the rioters at Cronulla yesterday. Beer-fuelled violence and a Mob Mentality took over with the bare-chested fuckers yesterday afternoon, and it's not going to end there.

It's that time. Time for my top 5 Albums of the year! I can now call it an annual thing since I did it last year as well. Here we go: (in order this time) 1. Wolfmother - Wolfmother This is by far the best debut album I have heard in a long long time. And the best thing is. They are from Sydney! It's retro rock, but it's fresh and it's exciting and it's fun. I can listen to this album over

He rocks and he knows it. He knows how to work a crowd, and he knows how to play a guitar. The Fooeys were awesome. I can now tick them off my list of bands that I have always wanted to see live. There is a new No.1 on my list and that is System of a Down. I've been in many intense moshes in my concert career, and the Fooeys were not the craziest. (See Velvet Revolver), but it was a long

Had a fun night last night. I went and saw Jamiroquai, on almost a spur of the moment at the AIS Arena, just getting my ticket yesterday morning. It seems that their popularity has waned a little since their last visit in 2002. Their last time they were in Canberra, it was their only other gig, besides playing at the 'Vibes on a Sunny Day' tour, and in Sydney. That gig sold out quickly and I

Ok. Thank You TJ. Your post about Snuffleupagus made me click-through to the wiki article about him being imaginary, (still sounds like crap to me, or maybe I've just blocked it out of my memory because it was too traumatic), and then, I happened to see the term 'Jumping the Shark'.

What a night! What a game! 82,000 people in full voice. It's not something you hear very often. Sydney was electric. The singing as we got off the train at Central Station ran chills down my spine. The National Anthem was deafening. The roar when Aloisi potted that penalty kick. It's like something from a dream and it's still sinking in. Now...if only I could get to Germany....

I have to agree with this.: "DANCING With The Stars may have drawn a cool 2.22 million viewers for its grand final, but imagine how many more would be tuning in if Daryl Somers wasn't hosting the Seven Network hit."

There has been so much hype leading up to the release of this movie and I have heard stories of people hurling chunks of their popcorn in the cinemas or simply walking out. It's been classed as 'The Scariest movie you'll ever see'. So of course, I was sucked in by the hype and went and saw it last night at Hoyts Woden.

I love Footrot Flats. If you aren't familiar with it, it's a comic book that a bloke called Murray Ball has been producing for 30 years now. It's about a man ("Wal"), his dog ("Dog"), his cat ("Horse"), his mate ("Cooch"), and various other family members and characters that pop in along the way. It's set in rural NZ, but it could easily be set in rural NSW as well. The humour is quaint,

Apparently a patent has been taken out by Nestle to make Coffee Beer, but this idea was already done on the old Drew Carey Show. I love how life imitates sitcoms...

I always do it. I always spend too much money on the Melbourne Cup, and almost always win nothing back. But it's the great Aussie tradition isn't it? I don't bet on stuff during the year usually. I don't spend too much money on the pokies, so why not a flutter on the Big Race? Anyway, here's my bets for the race so far today. 3 Trifectas: 1st Trifecta: - (The one without the Diva in it)

The $12 Million Dollar Work Choices campaign rolls along as Johnny and his league of cohorts continue to plough through the country like a Canberra Bushfire. It's scary shit. Even more scary than following Bush and Co. into a foreign land for oil. And scarier still than the possibility of being shot in the back when running away from 'Terror Agents'. We all work (yes...we do), and we all

You can tell when you've become too dependant on your mobile phone when: - You left the house without it, get to work and contemplate driving all the way home to get it - You don't know how you're going to line up lunch with someone like you do every day with your phone - You wonder if you're going to get an SMS from a competition saying, "Reply in 5 minutes to win $100,000!" - You

Over at Reasons You Will Hate Me, there's a post and comments about the guy who got paid $6000 for standing in the background of those hugely annoying Inustrial Relations Ads (could they be on more often?). Would you do it? Would you want to have your face attached to this thieving, short-sighted, extravanaga campaign? Come on...$6000 is a lot of money. You could rub your hands at glee

I had a fun weekend :) On Friday night, my mate from Sydney came down and he convinced me to go to see Ben Lee (Best Male Artist of the Year according to ARIA) at the ANU Bar. Now, I am not the hugest Ben Lee fan, and I've always thought he is pretty up himself, but the guy has talent. He is an excellent songwriter, and as my mate said, he has the ability to hold a crowd by himself. For

I've never been a member of a gym. Well not past the complimentary 1 months memberships where I go twice and then couldn't be buggered going again. I want to join a gym. Not really sure why. I don't really need to lose weight and I am not (too) weedy, but I have always thought being a member of a gym gives you some sort of freedom to go to a place any time and use it whichever way you want.

Ever get that feeling that you solve all of your problems in your head if you just erased your memory and started again? My head is so backed up with stuff that it just serves to confuse me, complicate things and tire me out. I just want a clear head. That's all. Maybe I should try drugs......

On a whim, I decided to take the sis out to a movie last night. Seeing as though there is crap-all on at the big cinemas, and I am still saving seeing Wallace & Gromit and Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, I thought I'd see what was on at Electic Shadows. There's a new film from the maker of Spirited Away, Hayao Miyazaki. It's (weirdly) called, Howl's Moving Castle. And seeing as though I

It's a big weekend of sport, kids, Bendigo and (hopefully) sun coming up! I will be in Victoria for the AFL Grand Final. But there's no Victorian team in it for the 2nd year running! Not that I really care who wins, but GO THE SWANNIES! And of course, the NRL Grand Final Qualifier is on Sunday. I'll be sitting there in my jumper with my son cheering them on to victory! They are

Excellent! I always wanted to be mad! My pirate name is: Mad William Bonney Every pirate is a little bit crazy. You, though, are more than just a little bit. You can be a little bit unpredictable, but a pirate's life is far from full of certainties, so that fits in pretty well. Arr! Get your own pirate name from fidius.org.

This is the last weekend in a few where I will be in Canberra the whole time, as I go to Bendigo next weekend, and then Sydney for a christening (plus an Eels Grand Final hopefully!).

I'm not that big on the big issues. Sure, I like to keep myself informed about current events, and I try to make sure that I read the papers and watch the news and check out my daily news emails from time to time. Sometimes certain things catch my eye, and 2 of them have done so today. Firstly from Crikey, I caught a portion of a speech from Senator Natasha Stott Despoja from last Thursday. It

Dear Mr. Bush: Any idea where all our helicopters are? It's Day 5 of Hurricane Katrina and thousands remain stranded in New Orleans and need to be airlifted. Where on earth could you have misplaced all our military choppers? Do you need help finding them? I once lost my car in a Sears parking lot. Man, was that a drag. Also, any idea where all our national guard soldiers are? We could

I woke up for the first time this week today feeling human, and actually happy to get up. I felt sick all week but knew I had to get up and get to work because of how busy it is, but Monday was just too hard. Today I actually feel decent and had a nice big lunch and am ready for the weekend. So...tonight. Regurgitator at the ANU Bar! Similar to last time, I have no-one to go with, (unless

At the moment, every second weekend, I have a fairly big one, and I am starting to pay for it. Friday night was excellent! Finally met up with the bloggers that I have been reading for a while and managed to down a few too many Blondes. As Mel has suggested, we should definitely make it a regular thing.

The urge to write is there, but the time to do it is not. My work goes in ebbs and flows so sometimes I have shitloads to do and sometimes I don't. You can tell these cycles by my blogging habits. I rarely blog at home, and much prefer to be paid for it. (It's my previous public service culture ingrained in me). I am preparing a big blog entry before this Fridays meetup. Unfortunately

Not much urge to write lately, and I haven't had much time at work, but I wanted to write about the counselling session the other day. It went ok. No huge blinding lights, or 'light bulb' moments, but it went smoothly and I felt comfortable enough talking to the lady. Most of the hour (or so) was taken up by me talking, which I guess is understandable being it was the first session. Maybe

Snow? In August? Who'd have thunk it? It's bitingly cold out there, and here I am sitting at my desk looking out through the bamboo to the wind, cold and ice that has taken over our land. But meh, who cares. It's winter. It's Canberra. What else should I expect? I've been in a mood. Yes, you heard me. A mood. I don't quite know how to put a genre on this mood, but maybe I don't need to.

They did sell like hotcakes ('Pandemonium' according to the Ticketek lady), and yes I was pissed off when I couldn't buy floor tickets this morning, but thanks to Eballs we scored Floor tickets to the second show. Yes! Second show! They announced a show on the Friday night (December 2nd) which is much better for me anyway, and I will be in the pit baby..the PIT! We will have to get there

They're coming! The charismatic Dave Grohl and the Foo Fighters are coming to Australia with 3 gigs on the East coast in November/December. I was pissed off last time they were here and I didn't see them, so I am determined that I will not miss them this time around. I missed the pre-sale this week, but tickets go on sale on Monday! But, I need some feedback from you, the reader.

Policemen taking a communal whiz in a bin? A terror scare? Not even close... It's a speed camera... Not sure what the plan is. What if Mavis from No. 35 thinks it's hers and takes it in?

Hey hey everyone. Hope you had as good a weekend as I did. Cake...Parramatta Eels Car Mats...Homer Rubiks Cube....beer.....a nice hotel room... Needless to say, it was fun and one of my rare nights out in Canberra was actually pretty good. I mean, I can't say that I rate Canberra nightlife very highly, but then again I am now an old 29yr old. Did I mention old? Mooseheads basement was pretty

Yeah, last night was fun. having never seen Eskimo Joe in the flesh before, I did not quite know what to expect. Most gigs that I go to now-a-days involve lots of jumping and sweating, so it was quite a change to go to a gig where you stand and sway. (anyone who tried to jump and sweat was hauled away by one of the two security guards who looked mighty bored most of the night). But I have

I just walked past the ACT Chief Minister Jon Stanhope about 5 minutes ago in Woden Plaza. He was by himself, looking around for something or somebody to harrass perhaps... What would you do?

It's Friday. Woo hoooooo. And that means, Hellenic Club for lunch, slackness in the afternoon and footy + cricket tonight! This weekend I will also be able to spend lots of time with the kids. Time to mould them! Last night, it was (of course) the opening day of the Ashes Test Series. So after feeding the kids, I quickly bathed and dressed them and then talked it up: "Hey!

I have posted a topic at The RiotACT this morning after I heard some information about my high school getting demolished. Apparently, the Ginninderra (District) High School will be demolished to be replaced by a 'super' school that will house 1500+ kids from Pre-School to Yr. 10. All the Public and Pre-Schools in Macgregor, Latham, Holt and Higgins would close so that the 'super' kids could

I liked it! At first I was a bit worried that there was a thin story line and that it wasn't going to suck me in, but boy was I wrong! I loved the twisting and tying together of the storylines and the way the timeline is skewed back and forth. I think it was written very well, so well done to Frank Miller on that one. The cinematography and 'arty' aspects of the movie were also damn good.

I took my 3 yr old to his first footy game yesterday. It's an annual event for me, and has been for the last 17 years. Although Parramatta don't play in Canberra every year, whenever they do I am religiously there. I took my daughter a couple of years back and she was freaked out by the noise and the people. A year later she was enjoying the game and waving to the mascots. This year it was my

Firstly. How goo are my Eels? Smashing the Dragons on Friday night was a highlight of my year. But it wasn't just because of the game. Earlier that day I had heard that Dwight Yorke, ex Manchesterian and now of Sydney Football Club fame, was going to be coming down to Canberra to play against the Belconnen Blue Devils at McKellar Soccer 'stadium'. I also heard that he may be popping into the

In response to Miss Marina's comments regarding The System of a Down, I thought I would go looking for some photos that might back up her comments. I have to admit that the first time I ever saw this band was the 'Chop Suey' video clip and my first impression was that they looked old, weird and somehow 'fake' as hard rockers. Of course, 3 albums later, my opinion has now changed drastically and

Could I please quote from Kevin Smith's rapturous review of Revenge of the Sith and say. This movie is simply fucking awesome. You enter this movie with expectation. It's unavoidable. This is, in all definition, a 'saga', and even though the order may be skewiff, this is the climax. It's the finale to 26 years of a story that began when we were all young. So, I tend to think, if you are older

Ms. Fits has an excellent post with the true transcript of what was said on ABC radio yesterday. 'Slimey' Vanstone was thrown by a comment made in 'jest', but to me was damn funny and got the point across. The ABC is now back-peddling from the comment and has ripped it off the transcript from the website. Thank jebus for bloggers.
