I was reading the newspaper on the bus home yesterday and came across this little gem, seems like one angry couple, I wonder what started it all?
MEXICO CITY (Reuters) – A Mexican couple were recovering separately after a marital spat got out of control and saw them firing guns, throwing knives and hurling homemade bombs, Mexican daily Milenio said on Monday.
In scenes taken straight out of hit romantic comedy “Mr. and Mrs. Smith,” starring Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie, Juan Espinosa and Irma Contreras fought until their house blew up in a homemade gasoline bomb explosion, Milenio said.
Police called to the home in the indigenous Mayan Indian town of Oxkutzcab in the southeastern state of Yucatan arrested Espinosa. Contreras was taken to hospital with third-degree burns.
A local police official confirmed the report but declined to provide further information.
In the violence-filled movie about the fictional Smiths, Pitt and Jolie play married assassins ordered to kill each other.
Espinosa told reporters he was glad his wife had suffered burns, while Contreras said she was only sorry she had not “hacked off his manhood” during the fight.

Doing five subjects at uni is sooo much more work than doing the usual four subjects! All I seem to be doing is reading, reading, reading – the “joys” of doing an Arts course 
Brief run down of the last couple of days.
Went to the MoB with Mum on Sunday to see Regarding Retro, not quite what we expected, we would have liked to actually seen the collections in the flesh instead of seeing photos of them – all those aprons would have been a treat.
After that we went into Silk Road to look at work shoes for me, after wearing a pair round the store for 45mins or so I have decided they are better than what I have had before but still no where near perfect. I am currently wearing them round the house this week to see how they feel for more extended periods of time before deciding what to do with them. They are a pair of Ecco Tail – lots of Gore-Tex and rubber so any dairy spills at work will not be a problem. Mum picked up a pair of Patagonia shorts and we drooled over the Women’s Therm-a-Rests very comfy and pink to boot.
Worked this morning before going to Uni for a lecture and a tute, currently doing this weeks readings for my International Relations Ethics subject and I am about to start work on a tutorial presentation on “Ownership and Management Problems in Chinese State Enterprisesâ€? as well a short essay providing an analysis of a Chinese Government whitepaper on the “Building of Political Democracy in China”.
My life basically consists of reading bricks, high-lighters, a pen and a wad of writing paper.
It seems that U2 will be coming to our shores in November – so a bit less than a year after we bought our tickets.
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
