Belated Friday Five: 1. What was the last TV show you watched?At the gym tonight I caught the premiere of “My Big Fat Greek Life”. Confession: I never saw the movie the show is based on. I meant to, and up til tonight I was planning on renting it. But given how dumb the show…

Matt keeps feeding my Ebert obsession. I knew Rog was a bit of a lefty, but I didn’t know he was such a raging, full-on lefty. *sigh*

Grrr. The Snook’s latest home brew just set off the fire alarm. We didn’t even know the damn thing worked. It took us five minutes of yelling at each other and whacking at it with broom handles to get it to stop. Stupid high ceilings…

I was telling a friend about my running program this past weekend and she suggested I consider entering the City to Surf this year. It’s a 14K course starting in the city and ending in Bondi Beach. Thousands of people do it, but a lot of them just walk. I’m thinking about it. It’s ambitious,…

One EightyThe Snook and I went into our local Flight Centre today to price flights home for a 10-day visit in July. We walked out half an hour later planning a one-month round-the-world trip instead. As the Snook put it, if we’re going to be spending $2000 each anyway, why not go the extra $500…

My personal highlight was winning a jug of beer for…

The official site for this year’s Nike Women’s Classic Run is up, so I now have a date to work towards: June 15. That’s seven and a half weeks away. They’ve changed the location this year though. We’re doing it out at the Olympic Park. Hmmm, I wonder if that means there won’t be as…

Hell yeah! Feel the love for the Irish. It’s been too long since I’ve heard the Victory March. Much too long… (Link courtesy of fellow Domer Brigita.)

Monday night the Snook and I went to see Nowhere in Africa, winner of the Oscar for Best Foreign Film. It’s about a family of German Jews who flee to Kenya during the second World War. I wouldn’t really categorize it as a Holocast movie though. It was about a family way out of their…
