# 93. Watch 10 Classic Movies: Casablanca

Casablanca. I really enjoyed this film, it was nice to see it start to end, I had only ever seen it in pieces. It was a nice film. Though I understand the hype, I don't think I follow it.

# 93. Watch 10 Classic Movies: Psycho

Psycho. Boy was it Psycho! So according to my parents it was doozy of a film, very frightening. All I got was a bit of a laugh! Gosh, the last 'chopping' sceen, I almost wet my pants! Well worth a watch for comic relief value.

# 13. Climb The Sydney Harbour Bridge

I did it! Kellee and I planned this years ago and to this very day I can't remember why we didn't do it when I lived in Sydney. Perhaps it was the lack of time. It was a very busy last couple of months I remember. Tidying up loose ends in my job, organising moving to London, finding someone to move into my flat, general stuff like that!

It was so awesome (my word of the month). I highly recommend it to everyone. Also, take the gloves. They look cumbersome, but you will regret leaving them behind when you're up the top. Just a suggestion. I'm far from being in top fitness so I went in expecting to be puffing away, taking my time and to be sore for days. Joy! Joy joy joy! I'm not aerobically harmed in any way! So please don't let the thought of an over-exertion stop you. Vertigo will though. If you're in the slightest bit afraid of heights, don't part with you money. For me, watching the sun rise over the city on top of the bridge was well worth the (extremely) early morning.

# 93. Watch 10 Classic Movies: Requiem for a Dream

Requiem for a Dream. I found this to be an intense and devistating film. Drugs, drug induced reality, cold harsh reality and the consequenses of all three. Beautiful, simply beautiful and very, very sad. In the end, when the four main charaters are reduced to failure, catatonia, amutation and degredation all share the same lonleyness with the powerful imagery of the foetal position.

THE STREETS

The Streets were amazing! I had a great night! the place was small and dingy, just the way i like it! The crowd serged forward and I was caught in the mix and ended up in the front, right near Mike Skinner! I had a great night!

GRAPE GRAZING

I was going to Grape Grazing this weekend, I was really looking forward to it, my fave DJ's Grant Smilie and John Course were playing and there was plenty of wine to be consumed. Unfortuatley the weekend has been cancelled bcause of the bushfires. Grape Grazing has assured us all residual costs will be given to the bushfores appeal. At least my money is going to a good cause.

The weekend that was,...

Well I didn't have a good weekend at all. The temperature reached 46 in Geelong, I have no idea when we reached the max. temp or if it was measured correctly, but I can tell you the soles of my feet were burning inside my runners, it was just so hot. I have been in some remote outback towns in Oz, in the middle of summer and I have never been known the heat to be so bad. The winds were amazingly strong, we thought if we had to evacuate, the little car would be blown from the road. There was a tense couple of hours waiting for the news the fires had breached the town, I live on the last street bordering the city and as far as the eye can see are sunburnt fields. The area is a new release of land so both houses bordering ours are partial new builds, just wooden frames. If the fires were near, our place was a gonner. Luckily, the fires didn't come anywhere near us. The sky was ashy, but we were safe. The last major, devistating fires were the 'ash wednesday' fires, they came much closer to us back in 1983. I can remember those fires; everyone was pale and quiet, talking in whispers. I was only a tiny kiddie then, what I remember the most was the errie feeling, and the adults looking scared. The death toll is more than double ash wednesday, 104 people and counting, they just couldn't get out fast enough. It's a sad, sad time in Victoria right now.
