Until the Sopranos returns or we get a third season of Extras, this is the best show on TV. Of course, it's not even on free to air, but that seems about right - you wouldn't want to deprive Australia of the chance to watch quality fare like "Two and a Half Men" in prime time. Still there are advantages to it being on Foxtel - they don't have to bury it at midnight like Channel 9 do with the Sopranos, and we actually get episodes only a few weeks after they air in the US, rather than a year later. How novel.
Nixon WatchesI bought myself one of these a few months ago and am now looking at maybe getting another. I got "The Player" which I suppose is fitting in an ironic sense.
Next up I'm thinking of "The Banks" in gold. The question is whether I can pull off a giant gold watch without looking like a complete loser. Michella thinks I can't. I kind of want to prove her wrong.
Top Taste Little Bites
Do you ever feel like just a few small bites of a piece of cake, but hate wasting food with all the starvation going on in the world? I know I do. And that's why I'm loving the new Little Bites range from Top Taste - perfect for topping off a lunch with something sweet without having to buy (and then devour) an entire muffin. Available from all good supermarkets in choc-chip muffin and chocolate brownie varieties.
"Can I Keep My Jersey" by Paul Shirley
I just finished reading this book, and if you have even a passing interest in basketball, it's worth having a look at. His self deprecating style of writing does wear a little thin after a while, but it's worth it just for the stories which show just how shallow and stupid the average NBA player is (eg guys making more than $10 million a year buying lottery tickets, hoping to win and be "set for life").
Cotton OnThe clothes here aren't great quality. And come to think of it, with the amount they cost, they probably aren't manufactured in the most ethical way. But if there's somewhere you can buy a better tshirt for $10, I haven't found it yet.
Omlettes
I just recently discovered how delicious and easy to make these are. I take two eggs, half a tomato, three mushrooms, one spring onion, a handfull of grated cheese, add sea salt and cracked pepper, and mix it all up in a bowl. Pour the mixture into the pancake maker Forcey gave me for my birthday last year, and within five minutes dinner is served. Or breakfast . . . or lunch . . . that's the beauty of the omlette, it's the meal for all occasions.
Snow Patrol
I've only got the latest album but I'm slowly coming around to these guys. Initially I had them pegged as U2-clones, then (even worse) Coldplay clones, but I have to admit a few of their songs are really growing on me. Check out "Make this go on forever". They are coming here later this year, my early prediction is their concert will one day join the list of concerts I can't believe I passed up.
