october update

So another monthly update. At least there is an update I guess!

Foxtel iQ has taken over my weeknights and most of my weekends too.


AVATAR is my fave show atm. The animation is great, the dialogue is poetic, charachters are witty, and has a great balance of sweet and hard situations. The most interesting charachter is Zuko, an anti-hero type charachter struggling with his identity as a result of his dysfunctional family. The eldest (only) son of the Fire Lord in chinese/asian culture he should have a high status. However some disgrace (I am only half way through the series...) caused his father to punish him in public to retain his honour. Now Zuko carries his shame as a disfigured face as he travels with his genial uncle, a former general now also retired in disgrace having lost his only son, who tries to share the happiness he has achieved through a new perspecitve on life with his troubled nephew. Zuko hunts the Avatar to regain his honour while his psycopathic sister Azula wages war against the other nations.



Last weekend I went to Winnie and Warnes' Wedding. It was pretty coo although Warnes' Pa was doing his best Dr. Phil impression...

This weekend I will probably rock up to Ranse' Halloween Party which almost completely slipped my mind. I thought up a groovy 'Suicide Patient' costume when he first sent round the invite, I wonder if it is feasible...


Bah I am feeling really annoyed at this very instant... I bought a new HDD/DVD recorder for $400. I shouldn't have done that. Sure it is a useful device but a) it has no SD/HD tuner so can only record from external source and b) it cost $400!! I priced buying Avatar in Aus and it was $20 per disc, but I just did a quick search while looking for the above pic and it would cost me only $100-$150 to buy Book 1 & Book 2 from Amazon! :( Bah, how am I going to get another $300 value out of this hunk of junk?! And it will probably be completely obsoleted next year when iQ gets upgraded... maybe there is something else good on fox to tape, or I will record more soccer (which once upon a time was the whole concept...)


Summer Soccer kicks off this weekend. My ankle has only been so-so over the last month. I was worried for a while (and still am slightly) that I have done serious ligament damage. Going dancing at Justice and ANUWSC Presentation Night did not aid recovery. Speaking of which Preso night was quite fun. Men's preso night was pretty coo too although I was a bit cheesed at not being nominated for Coach of the Year.


November sees me undertaking my Senior Coaching Licence and attending Justin Timberlake in Sydney. I'm going to miss Gabe's b'day for the first time in several years alas, unfonrtunately the Senior Course is not held annually and I am in the mood to push on with my coaching, esp as Ranse's plan to coach the Premier League women's squad crystallises and I even applied for a youth coaching position for 2008 (which would effectively prevent me from playing infact...).

puyo puyo!

How cool is that! Well maybe 'cool' isn't the right word... although it is oddly reminiscent of an ice cube.

Now THIS on the other hand, is COOL.

dancin-est movie EVA!

I watched Hairspray tonight and it was AWESOME!!!

DANCIN-EST MOVIE - EVA!!!

:D


What's been up?
Did I mention I went to Perth and Brisbane for work? That was fun. My ankle is STILL hurting after 3 weeks since I got kicked in our Quarter Final : I am going to DAFT PUNK and JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE later in the year in Melbourne and Sydney respectively. I went to JUSTICE at Academy last weekend which was coo but waay to hardcore-electro-buzz-buzz not to mention the main act didn't get on until 2 am or somethin absurd!
Went down to Melb to catch up with Gof this weekend which was coo. Lots of sport and drink. Went to the A-League game, Victory 2 - Qld 0. Watched the AFL grand final in a pub with lots of screaming Geelong fans. Vj and Gof put a tener on Port Adelaide who got smashed by a record amount. Went to the Pixar Animation exhibition at Museum of Motion Image or whatever it's called in Fed Square. Saw comedian Arj Barker's show which was pretty amusing -"and blue light was coming up from his balls! That's the worst case I've ever seen!" And I caught a heap of sport on telly, end of the NRL grand final where Melb Storm smashed Manly, Women's World Cup Final which was great Germany winning 2-0 over Brazil to go back to back champions.
Was thinkin of going to the A-League, Syd v Melb in Syd, next weekend but I feel like I overspent in Melb this weekend (mainly on grog and lots of eating out) plus I have ANUFC team lunch on Saturday so I will catch the game on telly if I am not comatose.
Oh speaking of TV finally bought a big screen. It is a 42" plasma, and it is pretty coo. Gotta start collecting hexbox games again now although I don't have heaps of time to play. Mum likes the tv too :S I think I may buy a second smaller tv for the other room so mum (or me I suppose...) can go in there and watch too. FOX should be getting installed soon so there will be plenty of footy to watch on repeat and whatever else I tape off of the tube onto IQ. Fo real, will have to wire up for multi-room AV pretty soon in that case.
OMG geez I never blogs no more - got the bro to install my new Sony Bluetooth Car Stereo deck. Now mah tunez be streamin yo! And the new speaks sure are cooler than before!
Gawd, oh yeah and I watched SuperBad which lived up to it's title lols, although it did have some funny moments - "I drew cocks..." The B grade action movie Bulletproof with Gary Busey was pretty hilarious though "It is an honour to call you Bulletproof el capitan McBain!" ROFLMAO!

So what's up now?
There is loads I want to do. Tap, Funk, Hip-Hop, Ballet - just dance all over really! Stupid ankle is almost better now so will be able to hit the floors again soon. Need to get into a gym, organise summer soccer, want to rebuild a wardrobe, put a tv in the garage and maybe some other junk around the house too. Meantime work is still coo and need to build up some more flex for my next trips, Gabe's bday in Sydney, Daft Punk in Melbourne, Justin Timberlake in Sydney again.

Dizamn. I've had shit on. Life is prettey groovhey. :)
