Thousands of Sydneysiders freaked out today when they saw what appeared to be a passenger plane flanked by an fighter plane cruising over the city. Turns out it was just a photo opportunity. *whew*

IT DIDN’T SUCK!
As God is my witness, Star Wars Episode 2: Attack of the Clones didn’t suck. That doesn’t sound like a very positive review, but it is. In fact, I will go on the record as saying it rocked. I love me some Ebert, but he dropped the ball on this one. Maybe it’s because my expectations were so low, but I really, really enjoyed myself. And it seemed like everybody else in our screening did too! Some (spoiler-free) thoughts:
I could go on and on, but it’ll be more fun to wait til y’all see it and we can have a real discussion. If you’re in doubt at all, listen to me: go see it NOW with an audience full of fans. It’ll make all the difference in the world. Seriously, you guys, the Snook and I ranked this one second only to Empire Strikes Back. We’re definitely going back to see it again (hopefully in digital). May the Force be with you!
(And yeah, that’s us in the very front row of the theater. Hey, if you can’t get in the dead center middle, might as well be dead center front!)
ONE HOUR TO GO! I’ve finally woken the Snook from his nap and we’re ready to leave. Destination: a galaxy far, far away!
Snopes tackles one of mankind’s biggest mysteries: “Was Kristen from Days of Our Lives a transexual?” The truth is out there.
Greetings to Snookums’s work buddies, who (I’m told) are giggling at the fact that I’m now the #1 Google search result for “Katrina Big Brother nude”. What a lovely first impression… 🙂
“I’m sick to death of being held responsible for the cultural and aesthetic life of a city. I’m tired of having to pioneer things such as the three-quarter-leg pant; of having to go the hard yards in Birkenstock clogs so that Despina and friends at Rockdale shopping centre can wear them without embarrassment. I’m tired of having to find good restaurants and brunch places just so that a month later I won’t be able to get a table because the cafe is packed with Bill and Mary, with Jordan in a stroller.”
A gay Sydneysider complains (albeit humorously) about a recent article arguing that a city’s livability relates directly to its population of gay men. I don’t think I’ve been living here long enough to have an informed opinion on this. Is your city particularly vibrant and fun? Are gay men the cause of it?
Ebert’s written a longer essay about Attack of the Clones and George Lucas’s vision of an all-digital movie experience. It sounds like those of you lucky enough to see it in a digitally-equipped theater will have a very different experience from the rest of us.
And speaking of Episode 2… only seven hours to go! Be sure and check back tomorrow morning for my first impressions. 🙂
I upgraded my web browser to the OmniWeb 4.1 Public Beta yesterday. I just used it for my morning blog read and it worked really well. My thoughts:
Anyway, the positives greatly outweigh the negatives. If you use OmniWeb, I suggest upgrading.
Okay, there’s this job that I really, really want, and I’ve made it through the first round. I don’t wanna tell you guys what it is yet for fear I’ll jinx it. But I’ve got to answer some questions for them and I’ve hit a wall. Can you help? I need to know how “my friends would describe me”. You guys are my friends, right? What would you say? Answers quickly, please; I’m sending this off in twelve hours.
It is Christmas? Because I feel like Santa Claus! GoddessBlog is now ready for the general public. I’ve still got a few modules to write, but the basic stuff is all there. Have fun, kids!
