My Latest Distraction

Finally got into it and I am learning how to cast spells, repair weapons, eat and sleep...how exciting! PS3 is so much better...

Cynical Philanthropy

There are emails going around, much like the bushfire in Melbourne about donating money to the red cross. Calamity driven generosity is a hype - if you really are generous, it shouldn't take a bushfire to start giving. Giving is about living it not basking in it.

Try something closer to home - say Hi to your neighbours, bake a cake and cross the road for once to appreciate the act of giving, be considerate to others and most of all give when you are not held at gunpoint in fear of people knowing the real you don't really care much for fanfare.

Lives lost crosses all boundaries - parochialism doesn't.  Honestly people does it take that much to return to the basic human instinct or is it easier to close a blind eye when it is convenient!!

I am cynical and I don't pretend otherwise...

My latest distractions

So Okay, its a new album but the sound is so 80s...not too sure whether Ms. Allen was trying to achieve the retro funk sound but I guess it will also sound good on the dance floor with loads of Bass and Drum then it wouldn't matter.



Shameless I have been reading Twilight - very juvenile but an easy read...maybe I am going through a midlife crisis?



I am currently, thanks to the hubby, loving the Molton Brown gift pack I received for Christmas.



So in a fortnight, I am off to Frente + the Adelaide Fringe Festival is on ... off to get tickets and lunching at the wineries...I am so looking forward to just get away from the office.
