So C's uncle is very unwell, and his parents really want to see him. His dad in particularly is very upset because they think he might die soon. So we're going to go to Townsville this weekend. I've got 3 days off work next week so hopefully we can make it up and back by the time I have to go back on Thursday ( Read more... )

Pretty good interview with Eric Bana about his new doco 'Love the Beast', which I saw a few weeks ago and loved. I must encourage y'all to go see this movie, even if you don't like cars :)

Saw Fast & Furious last night. Packed cinema - I can't remember the last movie I went to that was full.

Which reminds me, I need to insure the damned thing before work tomorrow... O_o

In lighter news, I pick up my car tomorrow! I am inordinately excited by this. I think I will name him Darcy.
