“Fellowship of the Nitpickers.” Peter Jackson responds to bloopers found in the first two LoTR movies. Pretty funny!

I was inspired by Kristen‘s recent Christmas redesign to do a little decorating myself. Whaddaya think? Don’t worry; the new “winter” theme only extends to the web-goddess home page. All the other pages still have my old design. Oh, and yeah, it’s actually summer here in Australia. I like to be contrary sometimes. Update: Yeah,…

Steve Waugh, my not-so-secret cricket crush, has announced his retirement. I would’ve liked to see him hang on for the India Tour, but how cool would it be to go to his final match in January? I’d love to be there.

What? Apparently it’s illegal to use an iPod in Australia. You’re not legally allowed to rip from CD to an mp3. What the hell? I didn’t know that. Guess I’m breaking the law all over the place then.

Strictly Ballroom: This is the first of Baz Luhrmann’s “Red Curtain Trilogy” (which also includes Romeo + Juliet and Moulin Rouge). It’s also one of…

Being a gardener changes your perspective. Normally I’d be moaning and whining about four straight days of rain, but I happened to step out in the backyard yesterday and our corn is going nuts! It’s knee-high already! Our tomatoes are also taking off and our pepper plant has two tiny jalapenos on it. Yay for…

England win. Well done, Poms. That was a fantastic game of rugby. England squeaked it out on a drop goal from Wilkinson with less than a minute to go in extra time. You couldn’t have scripted it better.
