Charlie's Worldtea rooms and lesbian vampires
Now I have your undivided attention.. Starting in reverse chronological order, we went to the Mundijong Tea Rooms today and had the most average Devonshire Cream Tea available anywhere. Its a nice setting though and some of their food is yummy, but they didnt really inspire us with mid-morning goodies. Jay’s review of the cream tea went like this: “I wish I’d have stayed…
new toys
Its been one of those weeks. My laptop died a few weeks back and despite updating it to Windows 7, repeated surgery for new drivers, disk defragmentation, memory parity checks and so on, it just kept freezing. So I had to buy a new one. The big debate then – another PC or go the Apple Mac route. Well, Jay’s Dell has been plagued…
Big Day Out
well, not big, but as Jay’s back has been really sore for months, it was a big deal for her. We took the train into Perth yesterday so we could go to the WA Art Gallery and also see Kevin Ballantine’s Holga exhibition in the Spectrum Project Space on Beaufort Street. Had lunch in the Belgian Beer Cafe on Murray St – was deserted…
oh man
Just followed a link in an email – was shocked to see how much friendsreunited has gone to the dogs 😦 adverts everywhere, flashing banners, badly laid out compared to how it used to be. Just goes to show, bigger and commercial is not better. Its awful, infact, I’m removing my (now very out of date) profile from there forthwith. Note to the new…

More films watched this weekend The Day the Earth stood Still Keanu Reeves, Jennifer Connelly, John Cleese, Kathy Bates. A remake of the 1951 original. A message of peace turns into a message of destruction – the alien has been sent by a group of civilizations to appraise the human race and make a final decision of its continued existence. We’re harming the earth…
filmy goodness
Watched some more filums.. 1. Slumdog Millionaire – totally and utterly arse kickingly amazing. Jamal, and Indian boy from the slums of Mumbai, in the process of winning the 20 million Rupee prize on “who wants to be a millionaire” – the story of how he knows all the answers is written through the journey of his life. Its colourful, filmed magnificently and has…
film review
Zoolander – yes, I know, Its an old one and I should have watched it 8 years ago. Ben Stiller, Owen Wilson, Will Ferrell. Stupid film about male models and fashion industry. I mean as stupid as stupid gets, ridiculous and with a plot so lame it really doesnt feature much. However, it is laugh out loud funny and there are so many brilliant cameos throughout the…
film reviews
another couple of film reviews.. 1. The Air I Breathe. Brendan Fraser, Julie Deply, Forest Whitacker, Andy Garcia, Sarah Michelle Gellar. A very cool film, dark, strange, moody and well shot. About a man who can see the future – its an elegantly woven story, shot out of sequence (the start of the film is really part of the ending and also the glue…
Film reviews
so, some more reviews whilst I wait for my brain to have some good ideas for the work I’m doing. 1. Funny Games – a totally fucked up thriller – 2 teenagers go on a psycho kidnap murger rampage in summer holiday lakeside house country somewhere in America. Its a very good, brutal, nasty film that is totally spoiled by one of the characters…
extreme film guff
saw some truly guff films this week One about a dope smoking/dealing guy paying his shrink with weed – I cant even remember the title – it got turned off so quickly 0/10 Burn After Reading – with Brad Pitt as a gay personal trainer, John Malkovich as an ex-CIA analyst, Tilda Swinton as his bitchy wife, George Cloony as a serial womanizer and…
