I noticed some people on the internet (such as I) wanted a copy of the new theme music from the Futurama movie “Bender’s Big Score”, so I’ve sampled it and made it into an AAC file.  Why AAC? Cos it beats the heck out of MP3 for quality and size and nicely works on my Sony Ericsson K800i mobile phone as a Ringtone and in iTunes natively.

So, here it is. Download now: Bender’s Big Score theme in AAC.

Last night I dropped Sienna home and headed to The Tivoli.  It’s a club in Fortitude Valley.

The supporting band was Tycho Brahe. They really rocked the place with some really cool songs. A couple I hadn’t heard before.  I took some photos with my K800i. I will upload them to my Flickr account later.

After that the main act came on, John Foxx who created the band Ultravox.  He started off at 8:30pm with an artistic show he created.  He had a lot of film snips from people around the world and had written pieces of esoteric experimental music.  It was okay at the start but by 9:10pm it seemed more like the Blair Witch Project to Electronic music.  I headed off home. I’d already had a really big day with Sienna and our cousins at the beach so was exhausted.  I got home and went to bed and fell asleep almost straight away.

I got an SMS this morning which Mil sent about 10:30pm last night saying I left too soon and John was really rocking the joint.  Ah well.  I was mostly there to see Tycho Brahe anyway :)

This morning I woke at 7:15am when someone in the apartment block was knocking on a door nearby.  I had a shower and went to the local IGN store which is about the only shop open today. I picked up some milk and eggs to make breakfast.  Currently I’m just watching some crappy episodes of The Family Guy season six.

Yesterday morning I took Sienna to swimming lessons. She had a fun time. We only just made it.

After that we went to the Post Office and picked up a couple of packages from Nonna and Poppy.

Sienna wanted to go to the Gold Coast shops at Pacific Fair so we drove down and got some lunch. She had a McDonalds Happy Meal and I had an Oporto Bondi Meal.  Then we hopped on the little train and went around the shops. After that she jumped on the kids car and drove around the track with another little girl.  They raced around the track chasing each other. It was very cute.

We went into the Intencity Amusement centre and played lots of games and won tickets. We traded in the tickets for Fantale’s chocolates.  We went back to the car track and Sienna played in the playground in the center for a while.  We got some icecreams and drove to the Markets.  Sienna went on the airplane ride. I told the guy to put it on the fastest setting because Sienna is a daredevil. She loved it!

We went for a walk around because Sienna didn’t want to leave yet. We found a Pink Shop and she found some hairbands and clips and lip gloss etc in a pack. So we went to the ATM and got out some money and she bought it. She has been having fun playing with all the stuff. It also has envelopes and stickers.

Today we are going to visit my cousin and Aunt and Sienna can catch up with my cousin’s daughters. They all get along really well.

Jail with Twitter addict

Okay. I didn’t sign up for Twitter before because I didn’t know any friends on there. But, as it turns out I knew someone after all. I saw their Tweet when I was on Facebook so I figured there goes my excuses.

You will now see a Twitter shoutbox in my Sidebar with my last Tweets and those of people attached to my account.  I don’t know all of them well but I will see if they are worth keeping in my Follow list.

If you have a Twitter account and know me, Follow me and let me know so I can reciprocate.

OMG OMG OMG!!!

Strong Bad’s Cool Game for Attractive People (abbreviated as SBCG4AP) is an episodic series of point-and-click adventure games by Telltale Games based on the universe of the Homestar Runner web cartoon. It will be released this June through Nintendo’s WiiWare service and be available for PCs. The game will take advantage of features on the Wii console, such as WiiConnect24.[2]

The first allusion to the game was given in a cartoon posted on YouTube by the Homestar Runner creators called “Strong Bad Gameways”. The video parodies an In-flight safety demonstration, featuring safety tips for the operation of a Wii Remote. A link to this video was provided by an easter egg in the Strong Bad Email “shapeshifter” consisting of the hash at the end of the YouTube URL. The game was later officially announced on April 10, 2008 with a press release and a Strong Bad Email-formatted “trailer” posted on the Homestar Runner site.

That’s an article from Wikipedia.

Five episodes, coming to WiiWare and PC!  Glorious 3Ds!!
