For those total sci-fi geeks out there I finally laid my hands on a copy of Total Recall after many years searching. Finally get to recite two weeks ad nauseum. Ahh the bliss of it all...I even had a promise from my wife that she will watch it!
I can finally rest in my DVD quest now that I have this spot filled. Sure there are other classics out there...Blade Runner or or um, well I'm sure there are more.
Needless to say I think I've had enough tea for today.

Are we afraid yet?
I've just been sitting here reading about all the furour over the infamous cartoons of some certain prophet. You know what? I'm almost sure that most of the people out there that are up in arms have not seen these cartoons and are only looking for reason to decry the wrongness of western society.
I'm sorry but that just pisses me off. I mean really I've always thought that Australia was a multicultural place. Meaning of course that we have lots of cultures in little pockets, none of which mingle.
This isn't totally true, there are lots of cultures out there that don't have a problem with each other. Its when one culture says to another, I'm better than you therefore you have to do things my way, that the trouble begins.
Ok, I've already said enough. I don't think me adding to the debate is really going to do anything but geez, to quote a famous movie, can't we all just get along?

Are you all still there
Ok, as you can see I'm getting bored with this blogging thing.
My issue is that it's a one way medium essentially.
Well ok it is for me. Noone comments on my posts so I have to assume that they are not interesting else noone reads them.
Well what can I do to make them interesting? I don't know. Perhaps I'm not interesting inherantly and thus can never make an interesting blog.
Of course my ego says otherwise and thus I'll keep plugging away at it and see if it gets me anywhere.
The other more real excuse of course is that I simply don't have the time to pour my brain out into this place once a day. I should make time but work is one of those things that takes your time away without every saying sorry.
So here is this meta-blog entry for you to think about.
On other news, I'm almost up to date with the Pottering. One more book to finish and I'll be part of the club!
Looking forward to blurting out crap in the near future...
