I came across a postcard from Fiona while going through my desk over the weekend. Need the Australian Slang Dictionary to translate though... "take a squizz", "it's ridge-didge Australian", "flat out like a lizard drinkin". yeah. funny stuff.

Got a good laugh out of this article last night, only because the writer apparently does not even begin to have a clue:
Movie industry battles film piracy on many fronts

"The good news for the movie industry is that very few computer users have the broadband Internet access or the memory to download an entire feature film. (Even with broadband it can take three hours or longer to download a movie; with dial-up connections it can take all day.)"

He would be right... if it were 1995. Broadband ain't just for the rich folks anymore. And as for memory... goodness... computers these days come with ridiculous amounts of memory. But whatever.

Stop the piracy. We'd hate to have to give our multi-million dollar actors a paycut.

I admit I clicked this link just to make sure it wasn't my dad: Deer Knocks Iowa Man Off Motorcycle. It wasn't.

Completely Random IM Quote for the Day: (from Viro)
"peeing is wonderful... God is pretty ingenious when it comes to waste removal... no?"

Song for the Day:
Ravens
- Paul Schwartz Project (real audio)

So I've been stuck on him this week... and this song in particular. The chord progression during the orchestral parts has the most beautiful and chilling resolution.
