Transformers

No Comment // Written on Jun 27, 2007 // Television

Tonight Justy, Matt and I got to see the special advanced media screening of “Transformers” at the South Bank Cinemas.
All I can say is it’s fucking insane!
…..so much better then I thought it was going to be, and I was really looking forward to it too!

The effects are fantastic….so realistic, makes you really think it’s possible for the transformations to happen.
The storyline and dialogue is also great and doesn’t fall aside like in some of the other ‘blockbusters’ that have come out recently. A fair amount of unexpected comedy is also in the film :-)
Everyone should go and see this one!

*Thanks again for the invite Justy, your the man!

The week thus far

No Comment // Written on Jun 27, 2007 // Misc

Monday was pretty good, I woke up late, watched some TV then headed out to…..KMart :-)
I found cheap ski gloves for $9.95 each so I bought Matt a pair as well, then I tried to get some ‘Ugg Boots’ but they had sold out! So I went to KMart at Wynnum and they had also completely ’sold out’…which I shouldn’t be surprised about due to the enormous bogan levels in Wynnum.

I also found a cool 288 sleeve CD wallet which I bought so all the spindles of DVDs lying around had a home.

Tuesday I was up at freaking 6am {still dark!}, we had to be up early to drive to Milton and then to Ipswich to watch Matt’s brother play Rugby, he is down for the week on a school comp. It was pretty good to watch but it rained non stop and I only had a jumper on…nothing waterproof :-(
Today I pushed my sleep-in for this holiday to 2pm because of the early start yesterday! :-D I messed about on the computer a little and then resumed my game of “The Godfather” on XBOX….I ducked out to get some sushi quickly but the whole day consisted of Sleeping and XBOX.

BTW each day ended with me drinking :-S

    Day 01:

Today I woke up at 10am, made myself a toasted sandwich and a coffee and enjoyed some day time TV.

I then spent my time reading all 127 new ‘Engadget’ RSS posts {sooo want an iPhone when it comes out}

Went for a short drive and bought myself a magazine….I about about to go to the movies and see Fantastic Four

…if the next 4 weeks go like this I will be one happy man :-D

The Sopranos FINALE

Sopranos FINALE

What to say?

I expected more…not to say it was bad, I guess I was just hoping for a better series finale. The ending has upset a lot of people and I must say I thought the download was cut short, 6 seconds of black screen without audio kinda freaked me out, I had to quickly jump online to make sure it hadn’t cut out.

At any rate I had a read through a couple of forums and found out an explanation of the ending and it was actually pretty good, not something you usually see from the show but acceptable no the less.

There is a rumour that they are planning a ‘Sopranos’ movie, which would be a great ending but I can’t see them doing that….it is HBO after all.

I am now ripping and watching “Six Feet Under” as my housemate has all the seasons on DVD. :-D

The Catch Up

No Comment // Written on Jun 18, 2007 // Uncategorized

What I have been up to since the last post….not the recently axed channel 9 show :-)
Not a lot really, I have been training the new guy at work Pricepoint the past couple of weeks, he’s a fast learner so it’s been pretty crusiy. I was expecting to finish last Friday but the new guy needed Mon-Wed off to finish moving so Wednesday will be my last day of work…litrally, as I am not getting a new job until I come back from NZ in a month.

As of Wed I should be posting a lot more as I document my stint of unemployment with my new amature blogging skills ;-)
