Milestones.. Why do we celebrate things sometimes ? Sure, turning a multiple of ten is worth celebrating. But why am I chuffed that I watched my car's odometer go from 199,999 to 200,000 tonight ? I suppose the barina is a cool car...

Unfortunately, Australia is doing pretty badly in the one-dayer on at this present time. I have therefore retreated, as I usually do, to "watching" the cricket via the online score so I do not sully my eyes with video of the carnage.
Edit: And despite briefly raising my hopes, we did indeed go on to lose this game.

This page exists purely to remind me to see movies when they come out on DVD as I can't tolerate paying for the evil and expensive cinema experience any longer. Alternatively, these movies could be good movies I've simply missed along the way.

1. King Kong
2. 40 year old virgin
3. Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe
4. Wedding Crashers (maybe be available after 2nd Feb 2006)

I don't suffer salesmen at the best of times and I feel the need to share two recent encounters.

1. We're looking at getting a new car, and test drove a Honda CRV last week. I made the mistake of giving the salesmen my phone number. Now, he's called at least 3 times bothering me about buying this car. I didn't really like the car, but he's really scotched his chances now!
2. This indicident, happened quite unbelievably, at Harvey Norman. I go there looking for a mouse, but apparently we don't need cords anymore and need to but batteries ad infinitum. Anyway, they didn't have the mouse I wanted, despite having that one a month ago. The droid goes on to say the one I wanted was, in a few more words, crap and I should use the one he uses at home; we all take our IT cues from HN droids, don't we ? Anyway, I walked off saying that I'd buy it elsewhere and he's still trying to foister his personally preferred mouse on me.
