The week that was 13th-19th September 2010

Hello Readers

Welcome back to my long empty blog that I will now try and update once again. This time I am trying an approach that involves the simplicities of a week in my life.

So to start off we will discuss my working life. So for those of you who don't know, my current career is that of a Bushcrew Member which entails me dressing in some kind of fluorescent outfit and control some weeds. But this week we got a little carried away and we got to include some Tree-planting including some in some mucky sludge fit for a pig. Yummy!

In other busyness I got to catch up with some old friends to discuss the dilemmas of life, because we all have our dramas. I also got to spend an interesting day volunteering at the Royal Melbourne Show at the Spudhunters stand. Personally for me though, I feel the show is heading downhill fast while the admission price continues to go up. Considering I spent about 3 hrs seeing everything the show has to offer and that really is not much. Although I did love the new Animal Nursery which is nice and big and has lots of babies everywhere. Including and escapee Piglet that the attendant spent 10 mins chasing around the place as well as everyone else. The showbags aren't much better. No longer are there cheap, good value bags. Instead you end up with mouldy bags an broken watches. Oh well!

This week was a busy Cinema week.
On Monday I got to see CAIRO TIME. I would only really recommend this movie for the gorgeous scenery of Cairo because the storyline itself was mainly uneventful. Would really only give it 3 stars out of 10.
On Wednesday I saw the great New Zealand comedy BOY. Now this is quite a funny movie set in the 80s about an 11yr old boy who loves Michael Jackson but has a dead mother, an absentee Grandmother and a Dad who has just returned from Prison to look for his hidden stash of money. I would give this movie 8 stars out of 10. And make sure you don't finish watching until you see the Thriller number at the end because that is one of the funniest parts.
And today I spent the morning watching Diary of a Wimpy Kid. Based on the book of the same name this a great family comedy that the whole family should enjoy. Its the story of Greg, a boy just starting Middle School, trying to find a way to be cool, that never goes the way its planned. I give this movies 8 out of 10 stars.

This week was also quite good for prize winning.
  • Family Pass to Diary of a Wimpy Kid (Mix 101.1)
  • Family Pass to the Last Airbender
  • Double Pass to Easy A (Student Flights)
  • Family Pass to Legend of the Guardians
  • The Ape House book (Good Reading Mag)
  • Who Am I? (Dymocks)
  • Prize pack (Stabilo E)
Well that is pretty much my week. I hope I didn't bore you to death and if you have suggestions or comments let me know.

Love you <3
