Thanks to Monty Python I decided to check out various cheeses.

I bought a Triple Cream with cracked pepper - not too bad I suppose. That one’s not in the sketch tho.

I bought some Jarlsberg - it was not bad either.

The winner, however was the Red Leicester.  Oh, my! Talk about YUM!  I’m gonna get more of that one in the future!  If you like cheese, check it out at your local supermarket.

I also found a thing called Cabernet Paste. It’s a paste made from Cabernet grapes used in wines. It’s actually not too bad.  I’ve never heard of it before.

Three hours to go. Yawn I’m going to be so tired tomorrow. Cath is out at a concert in the city and won’t be home until about midnight. I’m going over there when she calls me to say she’s leaving and meet her there :)

I just found out last night that my sister had another son last Friday.. called Aaron.  That’s three boys.  One day I’ll have to visit them all, but they are so damn far away!

Stupid mail2blog. I need a new plugin. Will paste what I emailed this morning…

Yesterday I dropped Sienna home and drove out to Caths place. We took her car into the city and net up with a bunch of people from the goth forum at Pancakes on Charlotte st.
It was nice catching up with everyone although I didnt know most of them and didnt have time to find out all names.
Cath got the crappy house wine which didnt taste good until the end and I got a kahlua coffee. She had the mexicana pancakes and I had crepe escape which was ham cheese and tomato. We put our orders in and everyone got theirs but I and another had to go hunt ours down. They brought mine out cold and said it came out but nobody claimed it. Sigh. Another guy got garlic bread which was cold. He took it back but I said they would just nuke it, which they did seem to do.
Cath ordered some drinks and got a menu so while we had a quick 30 second look at it the waitress ran off. Cath had to yell at her to get her back.
So yeah. The service was crap.
Still it was nice to see everyone.
One of the ladies said to Cath that she looked at my photo on the forum and could not see ‘us’ as a couple but when we sat together we looked like we had been together for years.
We paid for our food and left and headed home but there was a traffic jam so I turned back towards the city and looped around to another exit. I needed to find a toilet quickly and could not wait in traffic. It wasnt due to the food. That didnt hit me until about 11pm. Erk!
We watched the Simpsons movie, listened to some Bill Hicks and went to bed.

As soon as I saw her, I picked it. Sylar’s mother is Ellen Greene whom played Audrey in Little Shop of Horrors :)

I had no idea she was still acting, but is in many shows to this day!

What’s Pownce?

Pownce is a great way to send stuff to people you know. Add friends, then send them big files, invite them to upcoming events, share great links, and whip off a note to anyone, everyone, or just a few people. Learn more…

Invite only! Well, you can ask to be considered ;)

I also joined Iyomu, but it’s not all that and a bag of potato chips, girlfriend.

Oh yeah. I forgot to mention. Last week I was in JB HiFi and found The Best of the Naked Vicar show on dvd! Sweet! Two DVDs of real Aussie humour, before everyone went PC and stupid.  It stars Ross Higgins(Ted Bullpitt from Kingswood Country), Julie McGregor (Betty from Hey Dad!) and Noelene Brown, as well as others you’ve probably not heard of hehe.

Yesterday I was at Crazy Clarks to find myself a nice coffee percolator. I had seen them in the city branch but they were always sold out. I checked Kenmore village shopping centre on the way back from picking up Sienna, but they didn’t have any either so we popped into the Indooroopilly shopping centre branch and there was one left. Why were they always sold out? They are $9.99 and work well! They make up to 8 cups of coffee! I bought one and two packets of coffee grinds (Hazelnut yum!) for $4.50 each. Sweet! Now I have real coffee and not just instant crap.  I also picked up some medicine to stop Sienna’s nose running and making her cough.

Didn’t do a lot last weekend because Sienna had the flu so we stayed home, mostly.  This Sunday she is invited to a kids party near where she lives.  Tomorrow I knock off early from work since I finished really late today, so I will pick her up early.

After I drop off Sienna on Sunday, Cath & I have a meetup with some people from our forum so we will head off there. Most of them don’t even know we are together, so it will be an interesting gathering to say the least hehe.

Last night, Cath and I went to The Globe theatre in Fortitude Valley and watched The Crow and Sleepy Hollow.  We had a really good night out.  We met up here at my place and I drove her car into the city. We were waiting in line and a car drove past with people yelling out “WOOO! Go the EMOS!!!!” hehe. We just laughed.  We didn’t arrive very early. Only a couple of minutes before 7pm but they hadn’t opened yet.  We waited around until they did open and started down the stairs before I asked the guy at the door if they take Credit Cards.  Nope! So we went to the train station ATM to pick up some cash and got back.  They were only letting people inside the Theatre but not into the Cinema part, so we grabbed drinks at the bar.  I bought a bottle of Pure Blonde beer.  Cath bought a glass of house wine. Since you can’t take fragile glasses into the cinema, they just had a plastic cup. However, they filled the cup right up to the top!!! Cath was amazed while watching it happen, but they still only charged for a standard drink size. It was only Banrock Station red, but still drinkable and at twice the wine for the normal price, who is complaining? Nobody! That’s who! I bought Banrocks once just because it looks close to the name of my domain, here.  We went back at the intermission and got another lot of alchy *Grins* :D

Other film doubles coming up are: Edward Scissorhands & Brazil, Labyrinth & Ziggy Stardust, The Holy Grail & Life of Brian.

Next Friday mum and dad arrive from NSW.  I’ve taken off Friday to Wednesday, inclusive so will be picking up Sienna on next Thursday night and keeping her here while we all have fun for a few days.  Should be good! :)

I don’t know if my taste in movies is getting too good, but I watched the Transformers movie and didn’t like it. I’d give it about 2/5 if it’s lucky.  I also watched Hot Fuzz on DVD after discovering my local DVD shop has $1 Tuesday movies!  Sweet!  Hot Fuzz I’d give 2.5/5.  Transformers got 57% at Rotten Tomatoes.  I can see why.
