Was getting myself all caught up in the cricket on Channel 9 - Australia probably heading towards a loss - that I had forgotten about the Channel 7 'glamour' match at the Australian Open in the tennis, Maria Sharapova versus Daniela Hantuchova. It is, of course, all about the tennis - nothing so crude and vulgar as their model looks LOL.
Was thinking yesterday further on the whole what to do for my 30th thing. Had a couple of passing thoughts as to either going to Ayers Rock or walking the Milford Track back home. A big banner event like one of those two. Would be nice - was looking at the costs of airfares to Uluru though and hmm, they will have to go on special before I would really consider it. Was also looking at rail trips to outback Queensland as well, but again, with the cost. Is a nice idea though...
Went down to Chermside to do some window shopping and movie viewing today - got some more reprints down of my Egyptian trip back in 1998, and also dropped in a film for my parents, that was about ten months old or something. Bought a couple of books, and went to see The Producers - the timing was wrong for Underworld Evolution, and I had been warned off The Family Stone as too girly.
The Producers itself - hmm, I have been told that the original was better, the non musical one with Gene Wilder. And yes, Matthew Broderick with a geeky voice was quite annoying, but all in all a good movie, not a great one - it's no Chicago, thinking of recent musical based movies I have seen. And anything with Uma Thurman in slinky clothing gets my vote LOL - though the gay director and that whole camp bit was the funniest I thought...
They are releasing Commander in Chief, the TV show, over here, as we are being told over and over again by advertising during the tennis - I dunno, if Australia doesn't really show interest in what is happening in Washington in real life, why on earth would we watch a fictional show about it? And another query, is this supposed to be a sequel to the West Wing or something - or is Geena Davis, aka Hilary Clinton, going to be a NEW fake space time continuum LOL?
Oh, and that's what I was going to mention today - the new baby in the Danish royal family was christened today. And surprise surprise, his name was Christian - the Danes have only alternated their kings' names between Christian and Frederick for about 200 years, how surprising. What was somewhat more surprising, well, maybe not when I think of it, was how overboard the Australian media was about it. Front page news, before the first ad break on all the networks, as if just because the mother was a former Australian, it's as if the country has a vicarious link to Copenhagen.
Attention Australian media outlets - there are a lot of babies born and christened right here in Australia that could be more deserving of media attention than some Danish kid. He is not, repeat NOT, a kingaroo, the only way you could really claim dibs on a royal is if some British crown prince or princess in future takes a fancy to some other person at the Royal Australian Yacht Club. In case the media was unaware, we are still part of the British Commonwealth, we haven't seceded to be up there with Greenland and Iceland as former Danish colonies.
Although there would be more chance of gold medals at the Danish Commonwealth Games LOL.
Hmm, how do you get that type of job? Hantuchova's trainer just came out, as she has strained something, and, due to modesty's sake, they had to leave the court to strap her up. Because those shorts would have to be cut off her - but remember, it's all about the tennis LOL.
Later peeps
