Howl's Moving Castle

After being let down by my local movie venues and thanks to ADSL, the wonderful uTorrent and some nameless movie ripper I have seen Howl's Moving Castle. It was good. The subtitles were high quality. Big cheers to all you guys! Seriously, thanks.

This excellent shot was taken in Brisbane on the 13th November by Scott and uploaded by Tim.

Jean Baudin

Check this out. It's a quicktime movie of Jean playing his 11 string bass. I didn't know you could get an 11 string bass, let alone play it like that!

The Stationwagon Gig Photos

Here's a few blurry photos from our gig with the Spazzys. Thanks Dave for taking the photos. Thanks Gav for doing a great job with our sound. I took some Spazzys pics also.

Blogging about my blog...

I discovered that Glosoli (or to spell it correctly, Glósóli) actually means "glow sun". I believe the term is mostly used metaphorically to describe a person. More lovely icelandic here. I think they mean "soul" rather than "sole" but I can't be certain. Ps, this is NOT funny. ;)

The Stationwagon to support Spazzys

More on the best value lunch in Townsville

I've previously mentioned the best value lunch in Townsville. Here's what happened when I took a couple of work buddies there recently.

We ordered three megameals and paid $30. First we get a drink and five one dollar coins each. Then for some unexplained reason we got two more dollar coins. To this day I have no idea why. The chicken schitzel was outstanding as per usual. Lynn tried the lamb stew and found it agreeable. Daniel entered six tickets in a draw to win a boat. Nett cost per person: $4.33

I have the fastest 50cc scooter in Townsville

Maybe in the entire world. The other day I reached a record top speed of 75 kph. I reckon I could do 80 with a strong tail wind. Can anyone beat that? I didn't think so. (Photo for illustrative purposes only).
