So my holidays were over 3 weeks or so ago. I spent most of it watching tv I got through
- Season 1-5 Two and a half men
- Season 3-4 the pretender
- Season 1-3 Seaquest
- Season 1-2 Weeds.
- Season 1ish of Batman the brave and the bold
I also saw X-men Origins: Wolverine and Star trek while on holidays both good movies.
X-men Origins: Wolverine is the story above Wolverines past and how he gets his adamantium skeleton, escapes looses his memory and all that. It was a good action flick with some great special effects and nice fight scenese. It lost some points with me because it wasn’t accurate to what I am aware of with wolverine and some of the supporting cast’s histories it gets 3.5/5 thumbs up.
star trek was great it was an excellent reboot and I think it will draw non trekkies to future star trek movies it was just well done all round. The cast did a good job of bringing traits from the original characters to the movie (especially bones) the special effects were good my only gripes are some of what they portrayed was stupidly insulting (atomspheric entry jump?) and that they had to use time travel yet again..however the purpose of the reboot was to also setup an alternate reality and time line so i guess it was needed. It gets 4.5/5 thumbs up.
I also played wolverine on the pc and beat it..twas a fun game with some ok graphics and some nice violence. I bought stalker in the last week of holidays for #10 but haven’t played it much…such a good deal thoug
I saw the hangover last Sunday it was pretty funny 3.2/5 thumbs up from me
Nana died a week ago tomorrow, I went to Sydney on Thursday and spent time with the family before attending the funeral on Friday. The service was short (30mins) and sans religious bullshit which was nice..after we went to pops for drinks and nibbles until later in the night.
I spent the next 2 days down in Sydney with family and visited other grandparents and went to nieces 1st bday party (dumb idea)
Umm yeah done.
I took the Thursday before Good Friday off and flew down to visit the folks. Gotta say 1hr plane ride then a 2 hour car ride isn’t great but it beats 9hr drive. This country needs some decent rail systems or something and better air coverage of regional areas.
I think a high speed train between towns would be great..not high speed like the XPT is supposed to be (180km/h my arse) high high speed..of course we would need an arse load of new infrastructure to do that.
My long weekend consisted of much austar, talking to parents, some beer, talking to brother, some car travel and some pool it was pretty good. I also had a tasty garlic sausage roll that I want more of.
I got back on Monday and had a great shower to wash the smoker smell off me then went to Raina’s and watched some sga, talked and had pizza!
I realised when I saw someone talking about their blog that I hadn’t posted in a while its not that I haven’t had plenty to rant about it takes effort.
For those who are watching and for some reason might care or at least want to read what i have been up to it can pretty much be summarised and not much. Since the last post I have watched a shitload of heroes, prisonbreak, 24, xmen the animated series season 1-5, some BL, some gg, mutant x (i don’t know why) and 2.3 seasons of trek tng. I have been going to play free pool most tuesdays and sunday nights at times playing upto 20 games in a night and it hasn’t helped.
I have also been spending time with mates seeing a few movies and have enrolled at uni although I haven’t done any work yet. Speaking of work i worked last Sunday and will be again this Sunday..damn why did I agree to that. Work still sucks i worked out today that i haven’t had a pay rise in 20ish months despite my responsibilities and duties increasing oh well.
umm…
End of line.
More postage!
Last week I saw Mission Impossible 3 i expected it would suck and be all about tom and surprise surprise it wasn;t completely and didn’t entirely suck.It was a good action flick lots of big explosions, pretty stunts and special effects..sure some of the stuff was really super lame but its Mission Impossible what do you expect. Phillip Seymour Hoffman made an awesome bad dude and toms “crew” where also good although they could have been given a bit more screen time.Overall i would give this a 3/5 thumbs up.
DVD’s
Well I finished deep space 9, then i moved onto series 4 and 5 of angel and watched them in under a week I enjoyed all of those shows many hours sitting on my arse watching dvd’s yay!
Other
I’m on leave now, after haing been at my job for 3 years I started my leave the monday of the anniversery of 3 years and have been enjoying my time off…I watched some dvd’s (Kill Bill Vol 1 and Xmen 1.5), i did some driving (thanks Raina) and as a big surprise to me (and probably anyone who knows me) some reading so far its been a very relaxing break. On Friday i head down to Sydney and return on the 29th so that is a big chunk of my holidays down there…hope i can keep myself entertained without my computer/dvd’s…eep.
Umm that is all for now I think.
