So.
The Australian version of So You Think You Can Dance is on Sunday nights and I kid you not, if it wasn’t for Crossfire I would seriously consider going to morning church for the duration of the season instead of night church.
I’m also looking forward to The Biggest Loser. There is nothing like ordinary people [...]

A friend of ours introduced us to ‘Flight of the Conchords’ on the weekend. They are a comedy/folk duo from NZ. Funny stuff.

I was sad to hear that Adam Gilchrist has announced his retirement. I always enjoyed watching him whenever he played. He’s a pretty funny guy, especially when he commentates, so I hope Channel 9 snap him up for the commentary team. This is a pretty funny example of him commentating while on-field in a Twenty20 [...]

I’ve been reading so many words the past few week, both at work and at home.
I’m adjusting well to my new job, but still trying to find the right balance between work and rest. The culture in my office seems to be work-hard, play-hard and slog away until 7pm at night. Although I often don’t [...]

Sylvester Stallone thinks he’s tougher than today’s action heroes.

I found out about Naked DSL last week. Basically it’s a new product from Iinet where you can have ADSL internet through your home phone line, but are not forced to pay for home phone line rental. Instead you set up an internet phone which gives you free national and local calls with no monthly [...]

I learnt something new at church last night.
Last year as I was reading through the book of Genesis in the Bible, I came across the chapter on Jacob’s dream in Bethel (Ch 28), in which he sees a stairway reaching into heaven:
He had a dream in which he saw a stairway resting on the earth, [...]

I started my new job on Monday.
So far I’m loving it. My official title is features writer, but in reality I’m spending 40% of my time writing articles and the rest running the features desk as an editor. I’ve already been given a lot more responsibility, including designing the weekly flat-plan, giving the final proof [...]

Check it out; she looks so happy.
She’s had a hard time with miscarriages so I’m really pleased for her (as much as one can be pleased for a celebrity they’ve never met without bordering on the creepy and vicarious).
