Australia


Australia (2008) IMDb. I have a feeling this movie is going to be big. It will be compulsory viewing for me regardless of reviews. I know what your thinking, just because it has Nic. But also Ben Medelsohn, who I had earmarked to play myself in a future autobiography, except he is older. I look down the cast list and laugh, Bill Hunter!, Bryan Brown, Jack Thompson. Someone was trying to make this very Australian. Just keep your eye out for Barry Crocker and Frankie J. Holden in the background.

Nicole and Hugh went on Oprah yesterday. Does anyone like how Hugh Jackman got 30 packets of Tim-Tams into America to share with the Oprah audience? I think someone told me you could buy them in USA.

Opens 26th Nov. Anyone with me?

Food Shopping

Safeway in Vancouver Canada. This one built in 1966 of a replicted Safeway design that enhances the shopping experience.


I have been looking at a few diets lately. People choose a diet for different reasons. It could be to save money, loose fat, bulk up, increase energy, reduce global footprint, stop cruelty to animals, or other weird religious reasons. A diet that works becomes what you normally eat over an extended period of time, and no longer gets called a "diet".

Housewives weight loss diets of the 80's that didn't work:
no salt - eat everything except salt
no wheat - eat everything except bread and wheat products
no dairy - drink soy milk on your wheet-bix
pigout diet - diet hard, then pigout on Saturdays
Jenny Craig - does not work when you stop buying the powder

Housewives weight loss diets of the 90's that didn't work:
lite diet - buy everything that is "lite" or "light" or "diet". This includes "99% fat free" jelly beans, "natural" flavoured and coloured lollies, light canola oil and diet cola.

Some modern diets:
neanderthal diet - eat only what neanderthal ate
live food diet - only eat food that is or was recently alive
vegetarian - only eat meat when your tied
selective shopping - buy everything except on aisles 5 and 7
fridge diet - eat everything in the fridge that won't last a week
Tim-Tam diet - get them when on special
bogan diet - only drink when you smoke

With the Internet there is so much more info now. Go ahead and Google. But if someone was interested, I think I could have an amature stab at the following diets with reasonable results (tested on myself).

  • weight loss diet - with almost no exercise
  • weight loss diet - complimented with regular exercise
