Harry is soooooo emo.

I'm still alive in Canberra! Woohoo!

Finally saw a movie the other day- Letters from Iwo Jima. Am catching up on all the movies I haven't seen for three-four months.

Letters from Iwo Jima is like a companion movie to Flags of out Fathers- only from the Japanese defenders' point of view. Quite interesting and accurate viewing. The fact that not every Japanese soldier was a die-hard suicidal maniac, that they were not all necessarily brainwashed in their actions, that there was conflict between the crazy suicidal ultra-nationalists and the 'Westernised' but rational ultranationalists, and that their defence was just as heroic as that of the Americans that landed there.

I would hardly think it is a revisionist tale, as director Clint Eastwood and Steven Spielberg would not glorify both sides of the fight if therw wasn't at least some truth to what happened there.

I saw Shooter last night with Mark Wahlberg and a few other actors such as that guy Boris the Blade in Snatch, the still hot Rhona Mitra (the hottie in Ali G in da House), Murtaugh from Leathal Weapon, and others along the way.

For what it was worth, and given that I haven't seen movies for a while, I did think it was pretty good. What you see is what you get, so don't expect a fluffy 18th century drama or a postmodern deconstruction of industrialised society- it's a I-fought-for-the-country-and-the-government-pissed-all-over-me revenge movie. Well worth it.

We could make "I-fought-and-died-for-a-country-that-hated-me-and-all-I-got-was-this-lousy-headstone" line of products.

On that note, what are everyones plans for ANZAC day?

I realise that no one else here probably cares in the least but I need to post this somewhere.

<EXPLETIVE> WIZARDS OF THE COAST CAN GO <EXPLETIVE> THEMSELVES.

Thank you for your time.

Wizards of the Coast?

What have you been drinking/smoking/dreaming?

I not drinking at present, still on a self-imposed alcohol ban. Not cool. Am home, but at least I'm doing what I like best- chilling out and relaxing. Just not at a bar of some sort.

Getting old, am actually starting to prefer chilling than going out on a bender/dry wrteching session.

No no. Not drinking. I was just a little annoyed with Wizards of the Coast cutting the license to produce both Dragon and Dungeon after 30 years when they were at their best and most profitable.

random thought......

first parent-teacher night with my daughter's teachers @ high school

apparently she is eccentric and brilliant, entertaining yet hard-working and the darling of all her teachers

I came home and told Violet that all her teachers said she was a horrid, awful student who needed to stop tormenting her teachers :P the little monkey's self-esteem is so intact that she didn't believe me for a second

darn this good-parenting caper, it takes all the fun out of baiting your kids

My fav dialogue from Neighbours.........


"I take you into my house, treat you like my daughter, and all you do is complain."

"I'm tied to a chair!"

"All you do is complain."
