It’s been a few days since my last post, largely because we’ve been having such a good time in Hawaii that I haven’t been able to force myself to sit at the computer long enough to post.
Since we got here on Sunday, we’ve visited the Pearl Harbour Arizona Memorial. That was pretty sobering, and I [...]
Aloha!
High Voltage!
We started today with a trip to Santee Alley. It was very hot, and very crowded, with a fair bit of, shall we say “replica” merchandise…
After that we took a trip to Beverly Hills to get Sprinkles cupcakes. Beverly Hills was an experience. It was awash with money. After a while you stopped noticing the [...]
“Homer Simpson, smiling politely”
We’re in Hollywood now, and it’s not as well manicured as Anaheim. We’re staying behind Grauman’s Chinese Theatre, right in the thick of things. It’s cool seeing all the stars on the walk of fame, and all the foot and hand prints in the theatre courtyard.
We walked down to Guitar Centre on Sunset Boulevard today, [...]
NZ to LA
I need a place to get my random thoughts on LA down, so hello blog. We travelled for something like 20 hours to get here, then we went shopping. After that I crashed. Hard. Next morning got up, and more shopping.
We’ve been walking a lot, around the shops, even to the shops. Target is just [...]
Odds & ends
I haven’t been to any movies lately, depite there being bundles on I want to see. Just being a bit slack lately – nothing new there when it comes to movies. So what else is there going on of note?
The Hurricanes have now won four of their five games, not having lost since losing first up [...]
New laptop day!
Hooray! I got a new laptop yesterday – I’ve been without the use of one since I left MoT. Now I’ve got me one of these bad boys from Harvey Norman. The specs are pretty good, it’s awesomely lightweight, and it’s running Vista Home Premium.
This is my first foray into Vista land, and so far it’s [...]
Ahem…
So my plan to update my blog more is taking a hammering from the lack of owning a laptop at the moment. That’s a situation that’s unlikely to be remedied until we get back from the States in May and until Harvey Norman’s busts out another long term interest free deal. In the meantime I’ve [...]
Rest in peace Heath Ledger
Sad news this morning that actor Heath Ledger has passed away in New York, early reports saying from a drug overdose. So hard on the heels of another young actor, Brad Renfro passing, it seems to be another indictment of the pressures that public life and an unforgiving career choice put on these young people.
I have [...]
New year, new resolve?
Let’s see how long this lasts, shall we? After some gentle prodding from half-way round the world (I’m looking in your direction Ben), I’ve decided to try and be more conscienscious about updating this here blog. I had been generally updating this blog every time I see a new movie, but given that it seems [...]
