really enjoyed godard's alphaville at @ArtGalleryofNSW — weird film, and confusing at times, but interesting storytelling, well played
29August2010 01:42
it's not yet midday, but I'm calling this meal "lunch" so it's ok taking with a glass of wine
27August2010 12:26
great meal and delicious cocktails (one espresso-based and one green tea) at @GrasshopperBar — nice way to end the week
26August2010 04:00
I have a less webby one coming for my own site soon too RT @GrudenGroup Five Things: Web Stuff We’re Thinking About http://bit.ly/dxIy6z

while i'm giving up on @foursquare again, this is pretty much the reason why i *would* use it: http://weeplaces.com/peter-howard/

watched the last few episodes of spartacus over the last couple days; great, bloody, fun, and I'm looking forward to season 2!
25August2010 09:32
nice day at parliament house in canberra; celebrating a project launch, seeing how people are using it, and planning improvements
21August2010 13:55
only way to handle this election has been to go out drinking, but I've still been glued to twitter for updates; scared this'll drag for days
21August2010 06:05
very impressed with salt! great spy action in the vein of the jack ryan thrillers, and it's cool to see angelina jolie playing harrison ford
21August2010 01:49
I voted for mere incompetence over apparent malintent; no surprise the experience still leaves me feeling dirty #ausvotes
20August2010 12:58
skimming thru tweets tonight just reminds me that tomorrow's gonna be full of election noise; looking forward to this being over soon!

the expendables delivers exactly what it promises: guys beating each other up, explosions, a few jokes, no distracting plot complications
15August2010 00:56
picked up horrorshow's inside story after seeing them open for tribe — some very fine aussie hip hop! (and aussie isn't a qualifier here)
14August2010 06:50
wandered from one end of the city to the other and back; didn't once checkin to @foursquare; if this use case isn't easy it's not for me
13August2010 13:20
saw my first election advertising of the season tonight — wow, politicians are a bunch of lying, sensationalist scumbags

got my 2011 season program from @sydsymph in the mail — exciting, and so much to pick from!
12August2010 06:19
big call! RT @melalicious Just watched Toy Story 3. I think it is a better movie than Inception!
11August2010 13:37
so I checked in to the "horden", wondering why no-one was there, while dozens of ppl checked into the "hordern" #foursquare #fail
In Defense of Having Children

Beautiful: Having a child isn’t a panacea, or a means to an end, or even an end itself—it’s more a […]

the awl provides some great writing and a nice mix of culture, news and opinion RT @pamelafox looking for new "informational" blogs to read
10August2010 03:22
got out a teaser for the story i'm preparing to write: http://wintermute.com.au/bits/2010-08/raphael-teaser/
08August2010 10:04
akira is a great film, well suited to opera-house-with-live-score treatment; very impressed with regurgitator; liked vocal elements near end
08August2010 04:22
seeing akira v regurgitator; should be fun (@ Sydney Opera House w/ 5 others) http://4sq.com/67UmdR
07August2010 12:54
the plight of bored suburbanites is terribly depressing, but todd field's little children is really compelling, and beautifully told
Kanye West's Power
07August2010
The casting absurdity notwithstanding, Kanye's new video clip for Power is incredible. A beautiful moving Painting, it evokes Renaissance art, […]
07August2010 10:06
listening to ms kelly and resisting the urge to tweet half the lyrics; they're probably not so profound without her (great) performance
07August2010 02:10
loving the new vid from @kanyewest — http://wintermute.com.au/bits/2010-08/kanye-wests-power/

04August2010 13:01
amazingly powerful moment where the daughter turns to the camera and yells "you wanted to film the real me? this is the real me" #PWFF10
04August2010 13:01
last train home is an amazing doco, beautifully observed; lingering to the point of discomfort — that rawness is worth it #PWFF10 #12StepFC
04August2010 04:26
looking like working late tonight; hope I have time to grab a bite and still make #PWFF10 for last train home
