Last day

Last day of work before our trip to Melbourne. This will no doubt be a slow day watching the clock. This time tomorrow I will be on the plane. Footy games we are attending are Carlton v Richmond, Collingwood v Hawthorn, Brisbane v Melbourne and Essendon v North Melbourne. My tips are blues, demons, kangaroos and I hope a pies victory. Although not at all confident with a few injuries to start the season and the hawks in good early form. Other highlights of our trip will be a trip to the Hofbrauhaus, St Kilda for a lions training session, numerous pub crawls and much more. One more day to go. With 7 blokes and no girls, things could get ugly

Melbourne

3 sleeps till epic Melbourne trip...that is all

Footy season

Ok after a long off-season, the AFL and local footy kicks of their seasons this weekend. The AFL in their wisdom have decided to rob us of all but one game for their opening weekend. GWS v the Swans. Hard to see the Giants doing anything but watch the Swans rack up a cricket score. For the local leagues, the mighty Yeronga Devils begin their season against Robina at home. It is past players day. So if you are like me and have played in the red and black of Yeronga, come on down and have a drink and watch the new generation run around. Cheer, cheers for the old red and black!

Not much

Little to talk about today. Bit of a slow week. Gearing up for a big weekend. Yeronga Football Club is having their past players day this Saturday. Since I am now a member of the past players. Im looking forward to having a beer with the older players, watching some footy, eating a couple footy ground style hot dogs and seeing 4 Yeronga Devil victories....oh yeah ill probably vote too.

The Walking Dead

Top TV show from creator Frank Darabont known for his work on Stephen King movies The Myst, The Shawshank Redemption and The Green Mile. This show was developed from a comic book series and resembles a TV version of the George A Romero Dawn of the Dead movies. The show basically follows a group of survivors who try to avoid the thousands of shuffling undead creatures that dominate the TV landscape. The show is like one big movie and has just concluded its second season. Good show if you are into the zombie genre. 3 and a half stars.

St Patrick's Day

March 17 is always a great day for me. Not only a great drinking day in the name of the irish. But my good mate Vossy's birthday. As tradition we head down to Dicey O'Reilly's Garden City and spend the day drinking and enjoying the atmosphere. However this was to be our last at this venue with Dicey's closing down next week. Cheers for the good times guys!

Kindle

Finally loaded up my new Kindle with some books. Pretty good read too. The back-lighting simulates the pages of a real book. I got the new touch one. It does have a few bugs in it however. The touchscreen is no way near as responsive as an apple or samsung smart phone. And very rarely it will jump ahead a couple of pages with one press. Despite these small bugs it simplifies the reading process and stops me carting around a whole bunch of books. The prices of the e-books are a lot cheaper and obviously a lot quicker delivery.
