Well last week I got my P’s which is good because now I’m allowed to drive my car (had I mentioned I got a car?) around which is good for me. I also had a stereo installed in my car and last night I realised I can plug any audio playback device in and play it out the speakers which is cool.
I’ve seen some movies lately
Click – An Adam Sandler flick, he was angry as usual. The story is basically a man is given a “universal remote” which allows him to fast forward, rewind, pause, mute etc his life..the remote learns his patterns and this has some negative concequences for him. It was funny until about half way through then it went down holl I’ll give it 2/5 thumbs up.
Pirates of the Caribbean 2: Dead mans chest: The sequal to a good movie, Johnny Depp is back as the pirate Captain Jack Sparrow and he has to settle his debt to Davey Jones. This was an enjoyable movie it had some really cool CG and was funny as well as some nice action scenes. I’ll give it a 3.75/5 thumbs up
Umm thats about it.
I saw superman returns on the weekend, it was pretty good better than the piece of crap superman III i watched on TV a few weeks ago. Some cool special effects and the new actor playing superman did a good job. I’ll give it 3 thumbs up.
In other news the RTA in Coffs Harbour sucks..I have a car now and I can drive but because the rta sucks I have to wait until the 27th before I can do my test again, damn they suck.
I have been watching Andromeda lately its a sci-fi series that was inspired by an idea by Gene Roddenberry. The premise of the show is a man removed from time by being stuck in the event horizon of a black hole for 300 years who when he is finally freed finds out everything he knew is dead. The government at the time that he was frozen (the Systems commonwealth) is gone and the universe has sunk into a dark ages of sorts. He sets about restoring the systems commonwealth with the assistance of some friends he makes along the way. The show started out good and was fun, new and interesting but it lost its way after the end of season 2. Season 3 and 4 while being watchable where not as good as the first 2 seasons and season 5 is almost like a different show. I would recommend watching at least the first 2 seasons and 3 and 4 if you enjoy that.
Umm I think thats all for now
Well I went for my P’s on friday and failed, the rta doesn’t like speeding it seems :/. Unfortunately I have to wait until towards the end of July to go again so i have booked in for 27th at 10am and will take the day off. In other news..I bought myself a car yesturday my first car a 91 magna, the paints a bit rough but the car is good. I need to get a cd player and speakers for it but then it will be sweeter. It sounds and feels strange saying ‘my car’.and damn petrol prices suck.
I really hate the smell of cigarette smoke and the way it gets in eerything I took some time of work and during that time i spent a week with family, the time i spent with my brother was smelly and yuck because he is a smelly chain smoker the week at my parents place more smoking inside again and ick thanks mum!
I was watching a docco tonight on SBS about the tobbacco industry “CUTTING EDGE: THE TOBACCO CONSPIRACY” those guys are real bastards, the knew about the health risks for decades and lied to the public bribed researchers and spread misinformation to get more people hookedjust for $$$. Every goernment in the world should outlaw the growing of tobbaco and the production of cigarettes as well as making the damn things illegal..but they wont and you know why? because the governments make shitloads of money from taxes on tobbaco products so much so that the tobacco companies even use this fact to establish themselves in some countries where they do not presently exist. They pay people to smuggle cigarrettes in on the sly of course then once there is an abundance of cigarettes in the country the companies approach the governments and point out the revenue they are missing out on and ask for help establishing a presence in that country so the country can profit from slowly killing people.
The companies have had people researching was of delivering nicotine that are less harmful yet they dont use the research the sit on it or they produce products that could very well deliver peoples nicotine hits without the addtional dangerous chemicals found in cigarettes, hell the bastards even denied nicotine is addictive and tried to blame other things for the diseases smokers and unfortunate victims of smokers the passive smokers. The damn bastards know they are selling death in a stick, the goernments in countries know they sell death in a stick yet they are allowed to operate nearly unabated
You know what else shits me, I think I have written about it before is the fact that despite we in Australia have laws prohibiting advertising of smoking any time you flick on the tv you can see a tv show or a movie with someone smoking, you goto the movies and see people smoking. Hollywood (the collective) is paid to advertise cigarettes and they do so willingly despite the fact its common knowledge the fucking things kill more people each year than murder, natural disaster, alcohol, aids, cancer, car accidents and drug over doses combined.. this shit needs to stop.
In NSW we dont get cigarette ads, we have no smoking in public or enclosed places enforced by law and as of last july designated smoking areas inside pubs and clubs all of which are great things with one minor exception, the designated smoking areas are almost always where the pokies are as a result anyone who wants to play the pokies (or has to service those playing the pokies) is subjected to passive smoking in large quantities because the smokers are all around the pokie machines as well its most unplesant.
fucking tobbaco companies, fucking smokers I would say burn the lot of them but that would just mean more air bourne death for the sane people.So instead the product should be made illegal and the companies dissolved with their current net worth sunk into cancer research.
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.
Well its been over a month since my last post soo..

Well I haven’t posted for a while so here is a post there isn’t much to tell really
Continue reading “Its about time”
Firday night was spent watching tv shows I had downloaded, downloading more TV shows and watching DVD’s it was entertaining. Saturday I played games, watched tv shows until midday when I went to lunch with Raina, Went to Mangrove Jacks and had a nice schnapper thinger. After lunch we went and watched Xmen 2 at my place and then went and got some noodles and some more DVD’s. The rest of the night was spent watching DVD’s We watched Charlie and the Chocolate factory (good), Red Eye (Ok) and Hostage (Ok). After that I went home.
Sunday I played games watched some downloaded SG-1 and had a driving lesson, the first time I had driven in 2 years or so. Raina’s car is nice to drive. After that I went home and watched more SG-1 until Jason came over and picked me up and we went to the hole known as Grafton. Went over to Josh’s got some KFC, played about 6 games of pool played a few hours of play station and headed back to Coffs.
Got back to Coffs at 9:10 went to see Underworld: Evolution at 9:15. I enjoyed this movie it was a nice action flick. If you are looking for something that is challenging or an insight into the human condition skip this. This movie is an action flick with vampires. The movie would have been better without the sex scene (Kate in latex is enough she doesn’t need to get nekkid as well) and less blind shooting. Seline (Kate) has been arround for 600 years you would think she would realise after having shoot a hybrid 2 dozen times and it doesn’t have a scratch she should try something else..but no she keeps trying to shoot!. 3/5 thumbs up for underworld.
A pretty good weekend all in all.
Welp my break is over and I am back at work, how unfortunate.

Have I mentioned how much I hate the company I work for oh and my job? Well I do but unfortunately I have no skills except those in IT so I have limited options in what I can do. If i was offered a job in IT elsewhere in coffs (other than aawsom) I would hand in my resignation immediately i want to get out of this place.
The following only adds to the pile..
The fucktards that “manage” this company aren’t doing a work xmas party this year instead they are doing a lunch for the staff thats a whopping 2hrs long..we still have to come back to the fucking office on friday which is fucked.
I want a new job..
