Has anyone else seen the ad for the next episode of Beauty And The Geek? The episode where the geeks have to do stand-up? Well, that orange joke – it’s not original! My brother and I have been using that joke since we were in primary school!! Kinda creepy, really … how did it get [...]
Yesterday T and I went into the city to see the Illuminated Manuscripts exhibit at the state library. Because of all the SCA-type demonstrations going on, there were many many people … and a very very long line to get in to see the manuscripts themselves So we’re going to have to go back [...]
Oh noes!! Safely recorded on the IQ was the final episode in the first season of Dexter. We know who the Ice Truck Killer is (who had kidnapped Dexter’s foster-sister), and this was where we were going to find out why. The first 10 minutes were great! The Ice Truck Killer hinted at a grand [...]

Contestants are kept in isolation, given rather cruel mental and physical challenges. At the end of the episode that I caught, the final two contestants had to sit in totally enclosed boxes [...]
Next weekend, again on Foxtel – the animated Attack Of The Clones … WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!
On Foxtel today, all 6 Star Wars movies, back to back …

Of particular amusement was, alongside the page for the current presenters, the page of the current toys on the show. It was great to see many that I remembered from my much younger [...]
