Never On Wednesday

I just watched the first episode of Jekyll and what can i say, its so freakingly different and i can’t help but be drawn to it. The first episode was impressive to say the least as it follows Tom Jackman, the modern day decendant of the real life Dr Jekyll.

Now here is where it gets interesting. Tom Jackman is a mild mannered family man with two kids who discovers that he is sharing his body with a dark side, a charming and dangerous Mr Hyde who has super human speed and strength.

A great pick for the free dvd from a buy 2, get one free offer.

Here i am trying to get coverage of the womens sprint or even the womens basketball and despite channel 7 being the main broadcaster, sbs a complementary broadcaster and abc with coverage on the radio. Instead i am reduced to reading the commentary in a chat room.

I hate you channel 7

Well here we are well into the Olympics and i don’t know about anywhere else but watching the games here in Australia you could be just about mistaken for not realising that there was much going on other than swimming going on. Even more so the event has for us Aussies been dominated by the great performance of Stephanie Rice who has won two individual gold medals and another gold for relay gold with all three in world record time. Until these games i had only seen the media circus surrounding her and her ex boyfriend Eamon Sullivan so it is pleasing to discover that she is so down to earth and a pleasure to listen to.

For me I more a fan of other sports and in particular the basketball, hockey and football which has been a challenge, the coverage is revolving around the swimming, diving and gymnastics. Sadly Australia is out of the soccer and on the way out of mens basketball so i just got to pin my viewing hopes on the Opals, Australia’s womens basketball team and our hockey teams!

Oh and one other thing. Comme On Aussie!

Well day one of the olympics and i have spent most of the time in front of the tv watching one sport or another. I watch using the timeshift function of my hdd recorder so i can fast forward the sports i don’t like.

I did also catch some of the opening ceremony and watch i saw was impressive. I was in the pub from where i ended up after work on friday. I got home before Australia marched out (third from last) but i also fell asleep before that point and only woke up around 6am with the tv still on and the dog happily still asleep on my bed too. I am not a huge fant of the march by anyway. After the first few countries i am ready for something else.

I was wandering through the store the other day and noticed a huge range of skin care products on offer. Now I have never been a big user of them myself but I have an ex girlfriend who would have been in seventh heaven with the different products on offer. I don’t know whether as a busy mother if she has managed to continue. I hope so!

With the Olympics coming up in the next month I was thinking that I really need to invest in some new tv furniture to be able to kick back and watch some of the good stuff in comfort as I expect that I will be spending a lot of time in front of the tv supporting my country’s athletes. Not sure if it helps but I am not going to take the risk that it might!

Winter has arrived in force here today with the forcast calling for a tempreture range of 3 to 7 degrees although i am not convinced that it didn’t start at the higher and dropped. Some of the people at work were paying a lot of attention to the weather on the radio as the forcast was calling for snow down to 200 metres and their road home was higher.

Glad i bought an electric blanket!

Its interesting, I think there are the same number of diets as stars in the sky if the overheard conversations of some of the girls in the office is anything to go by. My understanding though is that there is no one approach to take and a combination is probably the best approach with good eating, exercise and perhaps consider some diet pills which can also give an edge.

I have a confession, i didn’t find the subject of this months theme day on my own. I saw this note left for rangers saying it was wrong and went looking for the sign
