Okay, I’ve had a little sleep so hopefully I can stop ALL-CAPS SHOUTING now. (Sorry about that.) The SMH has posted their official fireworks photos, which focuses on the Bridge and probably looks like the bits you saw on TV. Our view was from a roof in Pyrmont, which meant that while we couldn’t see the Bridge itself, we got to watch the fireworks exploding from six different locations. And we were pretty much level with them, which was exciting. Here’s the video I shot. (The music is from the party. The spots where it goes dark are where I’m trying to focus on my fellow partygoers, but my little camera just couldn’t make them out.)

Thanks again to Tim for inviting us!

Far Side Reenactments done in photography. Nice! I’m just disappointed nobody’s done my favorite (“Llook out Llarry! It’s the llandllord!”) yet.

Happy New Year! It’s 1:30am and the Snook and I just got back from my friend Tim’s New Year’s Eve party. He’s got an eighth floor apartment in Pyrmont, which meant that we could see six of the harbour fireworks locations. It was AWESOME. I took quite a bit of video that I’ll upload in the morning. We also had our first go at Rock Band on the PS3, and ZOMG, I NEED THIS GAME. I had a reluctant turn at the drums, thinking I’d suck, when in actuality I ROCKED. We need to get this game as soon as possible. Seriously.

Also, when we got home, we discovered that Petey had thrown up ON OUR BED. Poor little guy.
