I dreamed I went to Sydney to have a holiday with my friend Anthony. We got fish and chips, and I told them to make kumera chips which they hadn’t made before. I thought they were delicious but Anthony wasn’t impressed.
We went to see the Phoenix Foundation play a gig in Australia. It was […]

My god, the new Playstation Portable looks like a dream machine! Not only hand held gaming but music, video, photos. And will retail in Australia for $350 - 400 - pretty cheap for such a device. Guess what’s going to be top of the Christmas list this year?

While the papers seem focussed on the address book and whose numbers are in it, far more interesting […]

Just found this pic of Melissa Etheridge and her wife Tammy Lynn Michaels at the Grammy Awards. If you didn’t know, ME is undergoing chemo for breast cancer. Damn good look though I think and good on her for shunning the wig and hitting the Grammy’s with the chrome dome!
She also performed a Janis […]
