Well Andrea, her Matthew and I won’t be going to see U2 in 11 days 
The Asia-Pacific tour was postponed yesterday morning due to an illness of an immediate family member. So we get to play the waiting game as to when U2 will be able to make it out to the A-P to play the tour.
One good thing comes out of this, I don’t think Kanye West will be support act for the postponed tour as his A-P tour is still going ahead for March and April 
I really not a big fan of his, I wonder who we will get??
Remember the quilt I made for one of my nephews? Well it arrived in Iceland the other day and my sister sent me a photo of Jökull with his quilt Glacier boy now has his magic powers
Just a quick little thing I did this arvo in a break from reading about early Japanese history.

It sure took a lot longer to travel between Kedron, QLD and Montrose, TAS via car and ferry than it would have on a jet plane but our road trip was a lot more interesting, scenic and filled with lots of singing and talking.

Thanks for looking
I went to see Match Point tonight. I went into to it knowing it was a Woody Allen film, knowing that as much as I want it to be a “cliché Hollywood romance” it wouldn’t be since it is a Woody film.
I walked out of the cinema shocked that the ending that I had hoped for so desperately didn’t happen but also utterly overwhelmed by the feeling of perhaps cinematically having just seen the one of the best films I have ever seen. The differing metaphors in the film about luck versus justice versus temptation, the levels that the story can be read at; was I focusing too closely on the want of Chris to be a man and not to see the real aspect of who is as someone who decides that having riches for the rest of his life is better than the life he could have with Nola?
I wanted the cliché but that is not what we were dealt and on a brain food level I like what Woody dealt.
Another thing I want is to find a pair of shoes that bloody well fit my poor feet!! My current work shoes I have had since 1999 and after many years of tramping round school, enduring the tortures of milk and yoghurt and been a general tool to kick a pallet into place etc they are falling apart. When I first got them they were not the most comfortable shoes but as the years have gone by they are molded to my feet but still not comfy, after a long day at work I want to shop my feet off. Knowing they will not last much longer I have spent the last month or so going into stores trying in shoes and walking out as I could tell straight away they didn’t fit properly. Mum suggested that I try a pair of Rockport’s as both my dad and grandmother find/found them great. So in my lunch hour today I went tried a pair (handspring) on, walked round the store and thought these are pretty nice, I’ll get them.
I walked out of the store with them on and my trusty Colorado’s in a box under my arm, however once I started to really walk in them I was in more pain than my Colorado’s give me, so I changed back into my old shoes and got back to work. This means tomorrow I will trudge back to the store and return them and my search will start again.
I am hoping to find these casual Tevas in some of the local travel outfitters as I reason that if they are comfy like classic Tevas than I might just be in pure bliss.
Anyone want my feet? I’ll happily swap them for an extra arm or perhaps a tooth to replace my falsie. I’ll even paint the toenails pink before I give them to you.
Oh, and have you seen the new EA/Maxis game that is coming out? Spore, go watch the video it looks very, very good I love a good sim game
Well Uni started on Monday and I am in the midst of getting back into the hang of doing my readings, taking notes and trying my hardest not to fall asleep in class and trying not to strangle a certain professor and making some new friends.
Due to some staffing changes at work I am now back in the dairy and freezer where I belong playing the role of a “dairy fairy”. I was trained at my previous supermarket in the dairy but then due to a staffing change I was jolted out of the dairy and into grocery before getting a spot as a meat packer which I quite enjoyed. However when I got my job with the company I am with now, they only had night fill roles open so that is what I took and since then I have been moonlighting as a dairy fairy when they have needed me but alas I have always had to hand my “wings” back after a couple of hours but not any longer! Nothing like lifting milk-crates and filling the ice-fridge to give the arms a work-out Yay for the Dairy.
