Disclaimer: Since 20.00 I've had 2 jelly-vodka cups and most of a bottle of shiraz, so this may not be the most cogent update I've ever written. Nevertheless, I think the circumstances that I should write something.Howard is done. Whether or not he is replaced by Maxine McKew in Bennelong, his era is certainly gone.

I went to see The Bourne Ultimatum last night with Ru, and it was awesome. I'm such a sucker for a half-decent action movie, and this was more than half-decent. I really don't get where Matt Stone and Trey Parker were coming from with the whole "MAAAAAAAAAAATT DAMOOOOOOOOOOON" thing, because he's actually pretty awesome in both the big movies this year involving him - Ocean's 13 and The Bourne

If you grew up watching Hanna-Barbera cartoons, then I urge you to check out The Venture Brothers. It's basically a spoof-take on all the conventions of Scooby Doo and all the superhero/villain cartoons of that age, much along the lines of Harvey Birdman. I picked it up at HMV for 25% off because I'd heard so many nerds ranting about how awesome it was, and I can tell you they were right. Here's

So apparently until quite recently, all movie posters in Poland were created by local artists employed by the local film distributors. It seems that they were given quite a bit of liberty with the source material, and the results can only be described as awesome.

So, the new Björk album. I'll give it a full review in a little while, once I've had a good chance to assess it, but the short verdict is that it's good. The first of the two duets with Antony Hegarty, The Dull Flame Of Desire, is definitely the highlight of the album. It's dramatic, it's beautiful, it's haunting in a way, but still manages to be passionate and vivacious. If you listen to one

Blog posts like this one, and political commentary like it by extension, really piss me off. The author makes broad, sweeping statements about what the United States would be if it were truly free, in the process addressing what it makes clear are supposed current injustices. The problem is that it doesn't look at all at why things not being this way make America not "truly" free. Truth be told,

Freakin' genius. I haven't come back from a gig this impressed in far too long. It was worth the price of admission just for Chameleon, but on top of that to hear Watermelon Man, Cantaloupe Island, Maiden Voyage, Actual Proof, and an awesome awesome solo performance from guitarist Lionel Loueke ... I'm just floored. It was a show full of texture, from the most natural acoustic and cleanest

So, there are rumours flying around the internet about just what Mr Jobs might be doing in London tomorrow, and one of the two rumours is much, much more exciting to me than the other. DRM-free music from the iTunes store would be pure bliss, and if you were to add The Beatles to the list of music available DRM-free, well that would just be the cherry on top. This announcement would probably be

I've just realised that I didn't end up so much as mentioning O-Week 2007 on here, so I've decided to rectify the situation. Better late than never, and it's given me some time to think the experience over and make some more rational assessments.Anyway, this year's O-Week was more-or-less my first, having visited in the past only to get IDs and suchlike. It was also my first time as a Yellowshirt

Work today was one of those days where it was nice and relaxed, no stress, and we got a whole lot of actual work done. Me and Phil managed to give the brass and woodwind cabinet a good clean, deal with the stacks and stacks of cardboard that had been piling up out the back for weeks, clear out a whole bunch of stock that had been sitting in boxes for ages, put together a stand for an ES4, and got

The new Bloc Party hit this week, so of course I had to check it out. It's really, really good. It doesn't have the immediate impact of Silent Alarm's brash, in-your-face attitude, but it's all the better for its subdued grandeur. The guitars really seem to take a step back (there's no Banquet to be found on this album), while a choir of sorts seems to come out of the woodwork. The drums beat

Three: I arrived late, 2 songs into what was quite

So, I've been reading Alan Moore's Watchmen over the past week or so. It's something I'm really enjoying. It's such a cynical, dark and violent look at America's mid-eighties underbelly. It's aged really well, and all its social commentary comes across really well. When you compare it to DKR, which I read about a month back, it's a lot subtler and better-worked, less in-your-face about parodying

If you've talked at all to me, you're probably aware of last.fm. If not, then you are now. In any case, they had a site update about 48 hours ago or so, which introduced a bunch of new features, none more important than the events tab. Basically, it's a wikipedia of gigs which ties in very nicely to the rest of last.fm. You can add your own gigs, info about existing gigs, and see who's attending

Man. I went out and bought Star Wars - Clone Wars Volume 2 the other day, after watching all of Volume 1 on youtube in sequential order. Wow. This is what the entire prequel trilogy should've been like. It's full of awesome action, the characters are actually more interesting and more human and believable than their actual human counterparts, and there's no fucking stupid Jar Jar-like comedy

You know, I've just realised that it's been a long while since I've made a particularly political post. I guess that I've just become so jaded and cynical about politics in Australia that I can't really bring myself to exert any sort of energy towards and particularly political goals. I think the big reason that the political situation is so dire here is the rise of the career politician. Once

You know, I've been thinking about what it would be like to lose a sense. And I've come to the conclusion that I'd probably rather entirely lose my sense of sight than my sense of hearing.

So this week I decided to catch up on one of those comics that I've heard all about, critical acclaim and all, but just never bothered to check out. That comic is Frank Miller's Batman: The Dark Knight Returns. To anyone who's interested in the graphic novel, but hasn't read it, I say this to you: go out and get it now. Even though some of it has aged horribly (the mutants, anyone?), the key

DEFCON is simply awesome. It is in essence a strategy game, but the atmosphere it creates with its creepy minimalistic music and occasional coughs, along with its minimalistic computer-screen aesthetic, is just incredible. It's also deceptively simple - it's actually really quite hard to play a good game, and to win. Just to give you an idea of what it's about, watch the following video:EDIT:

So today I got the letter confirming my acceptance into the Yellowshirts for 2007, which is awesome. I'm actually really looking forward to the long hours of exhausting running around and interacting with people. I figure it's one of the things that I do best, so it should be a whole heap of fun.In other news, I just got really productive and organised my desk (You know what that means? I'm

Say what you will about The White Stripes (RE: White Stripes. What you will), but you have to concede that Ball And Biscuit it one of the rockingest songs of all time. Those freakin' solos! Also, their videoclips are awesome, thanks in no small part to Michel Gondry. Speaking of which, I'll have to go see The Science Of Sleep when it comes out here. It looks interesting, to say the least.

You wanna see a nifty-looking bird? Sure you do! Then go have a look at the Hoopoe. I found out about it because of a linguistics assignment, of all things. We were provided with a list of Arabic, Persian and Malay/Indonesian cognates, one of which was 'hoopoe'. It was kinda interesting how all of the cognates were to do with Islam, and how little they varied across the three languages, but I

Fuji Collective played last night at the Agincourt, as advertised. They played an excellent set, even if it was far too short. Also, they finally have shirts for sale, so I got my groupie on and spent the best $10 of my life to get some yellow-and-red goodness happening.After Fuji came National Pornographic, who I keep confusing with and who most certainly are not The New Pornographers.

I got my Gamecube back from Namik a week and a half ago, and I've been enjoying me some Soul Calibur II action. It's incredible how much time you can lose just playing practice mode, trying to get combos and guard impacts happening. Truly an excellent fighting game. In a similar vein, Super Smash Brothers Melee has been sorely missed - the amount of complexity in such a decepticvely simple

I know I made a deal with Ania to update every two days, and that I missed yeterday's update. In my defence, I was out of the house from 10.15am 'til 3.00am this morning, going over to Mel's and then going to Erin's 21st, which was a hotbed of dancing and poker-playing. I'd say that's reason enough.Anyhoo, I just downloaded Sergio Mendes - Timeless, and goddamn it is a fun album. Samba mixed up

So, I've upgraded to the Blogger beta test thingo, and while lots of it is pretty cool, the new templates are a bit frustrating, in that they change the way everything worked before. So I guess I'm stuck with things looking pretty default, at least until I figure all of this out. At least I've got my old template to revert to, if I ever want to.

As of yesterday, I began down a path of getting myself further into debt than I can truly afford. That's right, I got a credit card (low-rate visa). Well, to be accurate, I got my letter confirming that my credit card application had been accepted, and I also got my PIN letter (they have PINs? It's not associated with my back account, so why should it?), but not the physical card itself. That

So the ABC (who, incidentally, went on strike today) are running a survey to find out what Australia's favourite album is. If you're Aussie (and let's face it, how many international readers do I have?), then head on over to http://abc.net.au/myfavouritealbum/ and cast your vote.For me, it came down to a tossup between Herbie Hancock - Head Hunters, Jeff Buckley - Grace and Radiohead - Kid A.

I saw The Dresden Dolls last night, and fuck me were they incredible. First support was fucking awesome too, Jason Webley, this crazy energetic charismatic dude who sings and plays accordion and a bottle of vodka with coins in it. He even came on stage during The Dolls' set, and they played Livin' On A Prayer, it was so much fucking fun. I bought one of his CDs. Second support were The Red

So, this will be an extended post about lots of music that I've been listening to lately, particularly the newer stuff. Bear with me.First up, we have The Decemberists' leaked latest album, The Crane Wife, due out on the 3rd of October. As a Decemberists fan, I have to say that I really enjoy it. My inital reaction was one of "this is unbridled awesome", but I've tempered it somewhat since then.

I really hate it when a song that I like gets stuck in my head. More often than not it leads to me getting sick of that particular song, or even by association the artist who produced it. It happened about a week and half ago with Chick Corea - La Fiesta, which you can find on his album Return To Forever. While it comes very highly recommended, I did get sick of the same couple of riffs running

So, this past Saturday I went to a warehouse party somewhere in Sydney (ooh, mysterious). I have to say, it was such a brilliant experience, especially considering how close it came to being shut down, twice. Thankfully common sense and peace prevailed when the boys in blue showed up - no-one got violent, no-one got even remotely threatening, and the party went on. Fuji Collective and Rumble Bee

So I completed a politics assignment last night, which involved critically analysing the article named in this post. It was harrowing. I recommend that everyone reads this article, but because it's copyrighted material I won't be linking to it directly.

So after a couple of days of intensive reading at home while recovering from the flu, I finished Scar Tissue, Anthony Kiedis's autobiography, earlier today. I have to say, Melina summed it up perfectly for me (it's her copy, and she insisted that I read it, and I must say that I'm glad that I did) by saying: "Even taking out all the drugs, I'm amazed he's still alive". Anyway, if you're at all

Well, I figure I should make some attempt to keep this blog updated, so here it is, rising from the dead again. Well, maybe not the dead. Maybe it's been in a vegitative coma for the past month or so, and the month-long vigil by fundamentalist Christian right-to-lifers really paid off.

So I've been living it up on the Adriatic island of Vis (wiki link) which, as the title of the post suggests, is situated to the south of Split. We came down here by bus from Sarajevo to Split, through Bosnia and then Herzegovina's rural heartlands, picking up and setting down people as often as the 380 in Sydney. After that, on to the ferry to the town of Vis, which took about 2 and a bit hours,

So, today's our second day in Istanbul, after four days in Vienna and the same in Sarajevo. I have to say that it's a beautiful city, even if it is a little dirty. We've seen the bare minimum of the sights so far - the Hagia Sophia, the Blue Mosque, and the tower on the other side of the Golden Horn whose name eludes me at the moment. So without furhter ado, some photos.More later, when I'm not

So, I'm going to Europe on Monday, for 5 weeks. Four days in Vienna, a couple in Sarajevo, then ten days on the Dalmatian coast in two different places, and a day-trip to Dubrovnik to boot, then back to Sarajevo, then Istanbul (!!), then Sarajevo, Vienna and home again. It's going to be busy but lots of fun, I get to see all my family in Bosnia again, and I may even have Kat and Anne to party

The World Cup is just over 24 hours away, and boy have I caught the bug. Methinks I'll be losing a lot of sleep in the coming month, staying up late and watching games. On the plus side I guess I'll get used to the European time zone in advance of my trip there on the 26th. Guess what? I get to watch the final in the right time zone. That's going to rock so freaking hard. Oh man oh man oh man.

Wow. What a show. Seriously, I can't remember the last time a television program or movie affected me this much. Last night was, as I understand it, the third-last episode of the final season, and without going into spoilerific details, it was clearly a ploy by tissue manufacturers to increase sales. I actually cried. I guess you know you've done something right as a TV writer when your show

So, I guess the first dedicated physics card has hit the market. From what I understand, a game needs to be specifically designed to use the card, much like games needed to be OpenGL/D3D compatible back in the days of the first 3D accelerators.As a gamer, I'm worried about this development. Am I excited by the possibilities? Naturally! Am I concerned about how much more money I'll need to lay out

So, lots of cool new music seems to be coming out lately. I partook in the illegality of obtaining Stadium Arcadium, and the more I listen to it, the more worth it it seems. After my first listen, I wasn't sure that I'd end up buying a real copy, but now I'd say it's a near-certainty. As for 10,000 Days, damn if that wasn't the best impulse purchase of my life.

I guess one other explanation for my battery draining itself would be that the charger wasn't plugged in, thus resulting in an actually-quite-impressive battery life. Shut up, alright?

So, as most of you probably know by now, I put my old Nokia 3200 through the wash a couple of weeks ago. Thankfully I had just paid it off, so I could stay on the same plan but get a new phone for free. Glee! And so, I ended up getting the Motorola RAZR V3x, pictured. So far it's been pretty great. There are plenty of things that I like about it, not least of which is its enormous screen (plenty

Well, I've written up a review of last Friday's gig, mainly as practice for an upcoming review, which will hopefully be published in the Drum Media. Well, fingers crossed anyway.I'll do the same thing as last time, and host the review elsewhere - check it out here.06/06/06 Edit: Updated link. Obligatory note regarding the date.

So I've written up a massive review (850-odd words) for the afforementioned Gamecube title, and I'd love to post it, but I don't want another post that takes an ungodly amount of time to scroll past. So until I host it elsewhere, or figure out how to create one of those posts that shows up really short on the front page, but displays in its entireity on clicking a link, you'll all just have to go

And, having seen the Stones and Sigur Rós in the space of 2 days, and having worked the day after each of those concerts, I've concluded that the awesome was indeed awesome, and the crap not so crap at all. I mean, I haven't served a customer at work for about the past hour (I'm still here, I have another hour to go). So yes, the concerts were great, more when I get home.MORE EDIT:On Tuesday I

So, these three coming days are going to be pretty intense, as the title suggests. The awesome: The Rolling Stones tonight, Sigur Rós tomorrow night. The crap: a nine-to-five shift tomorrow, and a nine-to-seven shift the following day. Oh well, at least Lost is on on Thursday night, that'll give me something to look forward to while I'm dying from lack of sleep at about 6pm Thursday evening.I'll

So, in the past 15 minutes of online conversation with Kara, we've decided to start a fashion label that makes screen-printed T-shirts to specification. It seems that Mel, Jade, and Ange are in on it too. We've set Friday as the date for our first meeting. The strange thing is I think everyone's serious about it. We'll see where this goes.Exciting!

Mythbusters glorified clipshow: Surprisingly funny and interesting. I guess it's because it was mainly interviews with the cast, as opposed to "here are lots of segments you've already seen, with one or two new ones thrown in".Song For The Socceroos: MY EARS, AND BY EXTENSION MY NOSE AND THROAT, ARE BLEEDING.

Why does SBS deem it necessary to show glorified Mythbusters clipshows instead of something new and potentially exciting? I guess it could potentially be something new and hideously crap, like Song For The Socceroos seems to be (I'll give it a go tonight, but I'm not expecting much), but at least then it'll be crap that I haven't seen before. On another note: musical modes are interesting and fun

So, I went to see two great movies in two days, a week ago. Yes, it's been a while, but I figure better to post it late than never. First off we have Walk The Line.Wow. What a movie. I wasn't a fan of Johnny Cash before seeing this movie. I wasn't a hater either, I just didn't know enough of his stuff. Oh, I knew his covers of Hurt and The Mercy Seat, and loved them, but of his originals I knew

I've been playing a whole bunch of sax in the past week or so, seeing as how I started getting lessons about a month ago. I decided that it'd been sitting around doing nothing for far too long, the past couple of years basically. So I got up off my arse and went and found a teacher. Joanna, as it turns out, has been nothing but helpful. I've noticed a marked improvement in tone, and that's with

Alright, perhaps not the greatest. But still, the shit that SOE pulled on PA has got to rank right up there with what Infinium Labs pulled on everyone at E3, with the labelling of doors along the lines of the PA comic. I'd like to link you to the relevant newspost and comic, but the PA search feature is more of a bug than anything else, so I can't really do that. Sorry.

So, I'm back with the posting and the typing and whatnot. I guess it's so that I can avoid doing more important things, like deciding what to do with my life in the short-medium term. Hey, look at me, I'm having a quarterlife crisis a few years early! So, I'm out of uni, thanks to a thoroughly underwhelming performance since I enrolled for 2004. It's all my own fault, and what I wouldn't give to

So, Sunday night was The Shins at The Metro. What a fun time, I have to say. They were awesome - lots of fun and so humble too. It has to be said, none of their indie success and fame has gone to their heads, and it's great to see a band on stage actually having fun, not just with their mouths hanging open in a perpetual "I'm better than you, look at me playing my guitar!" expression. Oh, and the

Yeah yeah, I get it. I've been slack with the posting and the typing and whatnot. I'll see if I can't make it up somehow. A lot and a not a whole lot's been happening lately. It's been kinda routine, but fun nonetheless. I've been working a decent amount, which means money, which is good. I've been playing a decent amount of World of Warcraft, which is probably not so good in the long-run. Also,

Short review: It's good.Why? I'm not sure I can say exactly. It's extremely well-written in that I didn't particularly notice that it was well-written. It just flows. I guess it helps if you know a reasonable amount of French, which is interspersed liberally, to good effect. The character of Fowler, the narrator, is brutally cynical in his self-examination, which is certainly one of the aims of

My time has been consumed with work, World Of Warcraft, and uni, in that order. I shall endeavour to post more substatially tomorrow night, but I'm going to be now. I finished The Quiet American, and enjoyed it a lot, though I had some reservations. More tomorrow (hopefully).

I've picked up Graham Greene's The Quiet American again, and I intend to finish it this time. I've started the book in earnest thrice now, twice without success (the third time being ongoing), and I really can't see why I gave up before. The plot is interesting enough, though not exactly the most gripping thing I've ever read, and it's written exceptionally well. We'll see how I go.In other news,

So, my room's almost empty, barring the bare necessities and some items that are going to stay - my desks, my bed, my chair, my bedside table and my PC. That's about it. There are a couple of things that need to go tonight, PC included, but the emptying is basically done. Too bad the room's being painted the same off-white slightly-pink that it's always been. My dad's being an arse about that. No

Sorry for the lack of posting, I've felt pretty uninspired lately. I want desperately to be writing, something at least, but I can't think of what to write. Plus I doubt I'd be able to sit down and do it, and work away at it, and come away with anything servicable. I'm not talking (necessarily) about the blog here, just to be clear. To be self-indulgent for a moment, I figure I have a way with

Berrima was a load of fun.
