Ann Francis in The After Hours

You simply MUST watch this! Grant and I are going through an Ann Francis phase at the moment due to the wonderful Honey West. I was led to this superb episode of the original Twilight Zone as it stars Ann Francis. My god, it’s f***ing brilliant. Hard to believe this show was written and made [...]

I hate Dendy Opera Quays so much it’s like flames on the side of my face

Last weekend’s Nordic Film Festival in Sydney was completely ruined by the absolutely disgusting and unprofessional performance of Dendy Opera Quays cinema. I have not been able to write about this – or anything else – since then because I have been so angry, so violently angry that I was afraid of what I would [...]

Nanne’s video for Otacksamhet

Oh my god, Nanne has done a video clip for her new single Otacksamhet. How many videos has Nanne done over the years…well you could count them on one hand! Apparently there’s a new DVD coming out with all of Nanne’s solo clips and more…I’ll be first in line to buy that one! Check out [...]

Nordic Film Festival starts today

The first Nordic Film Festival has started. Yoda, James and I are seeing a number of films this weekend including the legendary ONCE IN A LIFETIME / Livet Är en Schlager. Session times are on www.dendy.com.au or direct link: http://www.dendy.com.au/event_detail.asp?Event_ID=437 Oh, and they’re here too. Dendy Opera Quays – hint, hint, hint. Hope to see [...]

The perfect justification for never learning Swedish

I saw this on James‘ website and had to post it here. While it is quite humorous I think it is a perfect justification for never learning Swedish! I’ve only ever done a 17 week night course in Swedish (2 hours a week) and even that gave me a headache. I’m all for Google perfecting [...]

Awful news about Stephen Gately

I just can’t believe that Boyzone’s Stephen Gately has died. He was only 33. I am sure more details will come to light but this is awful, awful news. There’s a short stopry on the BBC website: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/8301187.stm I’m in total shock.

Hey, Hey Harry Connick Junior…piss off home!

A B-Grade actor. A C-Grade Frank Sinatra impersonator. Yes, it’s America’s Cultural Advisor to Australia, Harry ‘Mammy’ Connick Junior. Harry, here’s a tip: the day Australia needs race relations advice from you, it will be a cold day in hell. Now do us Aussies a favour and catch the next plane back to America.

Agnetha just wasn’t interested in hearing Frida’s plans…..

As much as I’d enjoy seeing all four of them boiled in oil, I immediately thought of the ‘A-word’ when I saw this picture on bus shelters and train stations around Sydney. I had to chuckle. “Agnetha just wasn’t interested in hearing Frida’s plans for an ABBA reunion yet again” Even Yoda immediately agreed it [...]

A quick trip to IKEA at Rhodes

I was in a bus on my way to JB HiFi yesterday when James O’Brien called. He’d had an inspiration – ‘let’s go to IKEA!’ The day was completely reorganised with a few phone calls and text messages between James, Yoda and myself. I jumped of fthe bus at Petersham and headed into town on [...]

C.B.B. Long Weekend

What a total C.B.B. long weekend. C.B.B. short for Can’t Be Bothered. Also known as the C.B.A. Weekend – Can’t Be Arsed. 3 days of gloomy weather and rain put me in a totally demotivated state. Friday night I had drinks with John at the Lewisham and then went home to sleep for 12 hours. [...]
