So, here's another blog.
Australia Day was on the other day. January 26th. I went to Healesville Sanctuary with Michelle, just for something to do that was a bit different. It was quite nice, wandering around and looking at animals. My favourite was the 'Birds of Prey' show, that was quite cool. We also ate lunch at the bistro there, not bad, although some woman smashed a bunch of glasses and then said "I apologise". That's a weird phrase I reckon.
I haven't watched very many films lately although I did watch 'Bad Eggs' again, a DVD I picked up for about 6 dollars at JB recently. I mainly got it because I'm a big Tony Martin fan and it's the only feature film he's directed. It also features a 65 minute documentary on the making of the film, which is quite good.
Other than that, I watched all of 'Dead Set', the Charlie Brooker penned zombie TV show. Solid show that, really well written and paced. The way it's shot looks great too.
Oh, and I bought a Playstation 2. They're quite cheap at K-mart at the moment and games/accessories are very cheap for it too. I reckon it was money well spent. I'm not really in the market for buying a more new console, just wanted something to play now and then and the Playstation 2 has a huge back catalogue of very good games. Anyway, so I'm having fun playing 'Black' at the moment.
So there's an update. Big weekend coming up, I feel.
