Today Lauch and I fill up my fish tank to see if it was still water tight and also to clean it out. I am glad to say it still is. Looking at getting it fixed up maybe this Friday into a tropical saltwater tank so I can put in pretty coral.
Good news on the Wireless Tasmania front, Elaia cafe are all go for the first hotspot. So I got to get my act together and get the machine and software setup ready to be put in. My interview with the NEIS panel went down very well last Thursday. They all thought the idea was great.. so hopefuly this week or early next week I should get the ‘nod’.
The cats have been adventuring outside over the last couple of days. Sooki has been giving them more freedom to roam as they seems to have settled in extremely well to the new house. They have been going “zoom” around the backyard, having the time of their lives. Yumi even scared off a neighbours cat at one stage. So it is time to upgrade the family with my own fishies and coral.
I have watched a few different films over the last week. Film Society had “In the heat of the night” as a classic on Wednesday. The print was so old that the colour was all but lost and had turned a red tint. After a while you didn’t notice. It was really a good film, that I can’t believe I have never seen before. The next films I watched with Chris, Lauch and my Sooki. They where Princess Blade and Cube 2: Hypercube. Princess Blade was the biggest disappointment that I have had in a long time. I searche high and low to see this film and I had the hunch that as soon as I watched it, it would all have been for naught, and I was so right. Cube 2 was good thou, and that made up for to boring piece of crap that proceeded it (Princess Blade). Cube 2 was an adequate sequel to the great original film, but really didn’t progress it to far either. Cube Zero is in production so hopefully that will live up the great first film and give even more storyline. Last but not least I sat down and watched a film called “Happiness”. I know a few people have seen this film and didn’t like it because of the subject matter. I too found it distrubing and at the same time very funny. Not a film I would recommend to many, but personally I really enjoyed it. I wish America would make more films like this. I love the holiwood blockbuster like most but overall America has lost the way in making great films. That is why I rejoice to see such different and strange films that seep out form there once in a while and realised that not all American film makers are interested in the big $$$.
