room becoming available again at the end of the month; 250pw in surry hills; it's a bargain!

10June2010 10:29

adrian grenier's teenage paparazzo was really good; an exploration of the cult of celebrity told with surprising warmth and character

09June2010 13:27

runaways audience either women fans of the band (me: who?) or girl fans of kristen stewart (me: twilight?); both were justified #sydfilmfest

09June2010 09:03

left work too late for creativesydney and too early for sydfilmfest; instead, to a bar for a drink and to draw up plans for world domination

08June2010 12:04

enjoyed The Shipment; loved act 2 and especially 3, but the opening with it's comedy routine fell flat: racism hard to contextualise

06June2010 12:31

lourdes is a great story, well told; I do like the RED cam; could've done with some more production attention and a tighter cut #sydfilmfest

06June2010 10:14

disappointed with dinner at wildfire; food was decent but didn't quite live up to expectations; was impressed with the wine recommendations

anne fontaine's nathalie is a great tale of infidelity, fantasy and power; wasn't sure what to expect but became all about the relationships

05June2010 08:26

au revoir taipei was a great, fun film; almost too cute but stayed on the adorable side of twee #sydfilmfest

03June2010 21:56

saw kathryn bigelow's near dark last night; nicely structured, beautifully shot in parts, worthy inclusion in vampire canon #sydfilmfest

02June2010 13:26

great start to #sydfilmfest; I don't normally like horror but possessed was excellent — near pitch perfect, good balance shock/atmosphere

02June2010 09:22

loving that sydney has a whole lot of festival on at once; sitting at the vivid festival bar prior to my first sydfilmfest session

30May2010 11:39

lou reed's metal machine trio at @vividsydneyfest was amazing! 100 minutes of noise and my mind is blown; lots of ppl gave up and walked out

29May2010 12:49

i'm loving k'naan in appearances with nas and jr gong, but i hear that waving flag (world cup) song and it sounds horribly amateur

29May2010 08:19

highly recommend laser skirmish! all the thrill of running around the bush with guns, none of the pain of paintball, or of real war at that

28May2010 23:07

been scoping out a hypothetical public transport mobile app at work recently; I'm now riding the train and finding myself wanting to use it!

27May2010 21:31

"swarms, the only sized group in which Asians ever travel"; great analysis of racism and the upcoming Red Dawn remake: http://bit.ly/dxl4HT

26May2010 12:04

I think mahler's Song of the Earth is my favourite symphony yet; terribly, beautifully sombre

26May2010 06:39

with end-of-financial-year work, common playing the forum, @creativesydney, @sydfilmfest and @vividsydneyfest, june is gonna be sleepless!

24May2010 09:36

I've spent the last few days un-following "high-value tweeps" RT @deptofinternets: Reset who I'm following[...] re-adding high-value Tweeps.

21May2010 09:33

walked to the opera house in clear skies; walked upstairs to find it pouring; the sheets of rain over the harbour are gorgeous

19May2010 11:47

drinks/dinner at grasshopper; bar too crowded straight after work but nice and chilled later; resto upstairs great atmosphere and delicious!

18May2010 11:10

I am *so* ready to abandon the iPhone, and the htc desire is gorgeous, but I really don't want to return to the days of painful syncing!

15May2010 02:28

picked up my suit; had been worrying all week that it was the wrong colour or wrong size; delighted to find it's perfect on both counts

13May2010 09:13

saw my first facebook "like" thing in the wild; i'm actually incredibly creeped out seeing my mug staring out from someone else's website

12May2010 11:18

used up my @sydfilmfest flexipass and there are still another 10 films I want to see! I'd have to split myself in two to manage them all tho

08May2010 06:55

scratch that; it really is spam, just with dominos pizza ads (paid, presumably)

08May2010 06:51

wow; dominos hijack crustpizza.com.au with an "eat fresh" promo; clever, but spammy when I was actually looking for crust.com.au

06May2010 10:56

dinner at industrie on pitt st; nice atmosphere and surprisingly good food

03May2010 21:42

thought i'd revisit smh.com.au after months away, and what do i get? a flash-based takeover ad! nope, still not going back

03May2010 10:52

holiday to melbourne booked, at last! now to see what's on there in mid june

01May2010 23:54

our priests really need more training in rhetoric; today's unwittingly compared prayer to a lottery ticket; I don't like those odds

01May2010 03:44

cinebuzz points redeemable for vmax tix; thankyou @eventcinemas! looking forward to iron man 2

30April2010 12:21

two weddings in one weekend, and in different cities, will be tricky; just bought plane tix to make the hop in the few hours between the two

29April2010 09:33

cabbie was like, I knew you were going to surry hills as soon as I saw you; I thought that was cool, but he apparently not so thrilled

28April2010 21:48

this is why i love io9: actual science, along with the fiction: what's the universe expanding into? http://io9.com/5526583/ (mind explodes)

25April2010 11:56

the book of eli is uneven, but ultimately worth seeing simply because it does new and interesting things with western mythology

25April2010 06:48

seeing all the uniforms out for anzac day makes me appreciate that our society doesn't normally make its military so visible
