To achieve all you have to do is believe.
Well I'm back in Melbourne and I am happy because the weather is gorgeous here, compared to poor old tassie. Today Melbourne feels like Summer (very nearly, but not as warm) and I'm sitting...
Well I'm off to Tassie for the weekend to celebrate my Gran's ascention to the age of Octagenarian. It's going to be an fun packed weekend with plenty of excitement. Although she's 80, she's also...

David Tench - Who is he? So all of us who have watched channel ten for the past week or so will have seen the advertising running for the new show - David Tench tonight, hosted by a CGI...
This one made me question my own perceptions of "What other people think" "People may flatter themselves just as much by thinking that their faults are always present to other people's...
I have always hated Wednesdays. I think my dislike stems from being sent to a certain Wednesday afternoon activity (Highland Dancing) because Mum "always wanted to learn" and being the Oldest I...
Well Ski Season is in full swing down here in the South and I am dying to go up to Buller or Falls for a week and just ski all day. That would be lovely. But I have no holidays coming up and...
So after a rotten week I got sick over the weekend and had to take the day off today. I hate taking sick days. :( I tried to take my mind of things but it didn't happen - if I could be...
I was just watching the Simpsons and Burns had the best come back to being "I Told You So". Smithers : "I told you Simpson was a poor choice, sir" Burns : "You know Smithers, I told you so...
Well hey. I have been complaining about TV.com staff not adding new shows and BAM they added "The Wedge" after only about six weeks. I think it helped that it was a current show. All I have to do...
I was reading an article in the paper today and it author was expressing his disgust with the quality of Australian made television together with the dwindling quantity which gets air time. He...
So today when I didn't have much on, the weather was wet and cool and there really wasn't much on I decided to take on a few old favourites in the DVD / Video department (some recorded from the...
Hoorah, Hoorah, Hoorah! - I made it to level 10 *twinkle* I guess I can sit back and rest on my laurel now...well maybe not. This was a nice ending to the week. I had been sitting on 97% since...
If you haven't seen the Season Finale of Series 2 Dr Who, Look away now! The one thing I have always detested is a show that deliberatly leads you down the garden path in a cliffhanger, only...
So we lost the game...no big deal. We got further than we have ever so that's a good effort AND all the guys in the team have lifted their profile so in the end everyone's better off anyway. I...
Wow! Who would have thought we would have made it to ROUND 2!! Certainly not the US team coach who claimed the Socceroos were only at the World Cup "to make up the numbers". I can't decide if I...
Well I made it to the end of the week. I didn't think I would, but I'm here. Thank god (and the trade unions) for weekends. Well it's been a tough week at work and I don't really think it's...
Why is it the shows you love – the one’s you can’t get enough of – why are they always the ones that get cancelled. It’s heartbreaking and when you try to get over it there are always withdrawal...
It’s funny when you realise how much of what we in Australia rely on Overseas shows and ideas to entertain us. We can’t even be satisfied with our own reality shows and have to import US and UK...
