ODDMENTS and ENDMENTS
- Hands up if you are going to see CROWDED HOUSE in November? *raises both hands* I spent full-on a week deliberating whether I want to see them live or if I really, really, really want to see them live. Thanks to their numerous TV appearances during the past week it turned out I really, really, really want to see them live. I got me a ticket for their second show in Melbourne. Whoo-hoo!
Last year (or was it 2005) we had INXS reform after their "ROCK STAR" search for a Michael Hutchence replacement ended with them recruiting J.D. Fortune.
This year we have Crowded House reforming with a new album and tour. Incidentally, they too had to replace a band member after the death of original drummer Paul Hester in 2005.
So, who's next? HUNTERS and COLLECTORS you up for it? Oh God, yes. Please? - Whilst looking for Crowdies tickets I noticed that The Shins are also touring Australia. Next month! Problem: They are playing at a seedy nightclub in the middle of Melbourne called The Metro. I haven't been there for years so perhaps it's changed... but I'm still not sure if I'm brave enough. I predict much more agonising over this decision in the weeks to come...
- Sam and Nick stayed for another couple of nights during the week. Thursday night they wanted to watch Cars which, don't get me wrong, is a totally cool movie but also a movie they can watch anytime. I wanted to share a bit of old time movie magic with them. I've tried getting them to watch The Goonies before but they really aren't that interested in it. I know! Who does not love that movie? Kids today, huh? This time I made them watch Labyrinth and they totally dug it, especially Nick. It made me all kinds of proud and happy. It's awesome that a movie made 21 years ago still looks as good and is still as entertaining as Labyrinth is today. And yep, it really was made 21 Years ago. And nope, I can't believe it either.
- I sat down this afternoon with the intention of working on my 2006 USA Holiday scrapbook. I got as far as typing up one line before I got distracted by a pretty Supernatural picture which was just crying out for a Photoshop makeover. Since I had Photoshop open anyway, I decided I really needed a new header image. I then faced the problem of my new header image not matching my journal layout so I had to do a little maintenance. (read: Complete overall) Needless to say, I haven't actually made it back to the my holiday scrapbook yet. Maybe tomorrow.

And one day I'll get the kids to watch Goonies all the way through and they WILL enjoy it. Oh yes, they will!!! *LOL*
