Thought I better grab some music to listen too since I only ever see bad press about here. Grabbed some music videos too, they play Rehab on the Music Max channel here all the time. All the pictures of here I have seen in the mainstream press make her look like a "skanky ho", I can't believe it is the same girl in the Valerie video, she looks quite pretty and tidy, just goes to show what drugs do to you, hope she gets her act together.

BTW anyone know where a list of the girls who appear on stage miming to Valerie are ? Quite some tidy ones there too

Narell was off to the one day game between Australia and India today at the Gabba, no such luck, rained cats and dogs last night, she might have to stay at home now, she won't be happy.

Went to take the kids to play Putt Putt while we were down the coast, until I saw the prices (the web page isn't up to date), it was $18 adult and $14 kids for one lousy round, needless to say we didn't play and went to Intensity instead. The guy behind the counter had a smile from ear to ear, at those prices and suckers lined up outside the door why wouldn't he.

Had the chance last Australia Day Weekend to spend some time at the best part of Queensland, Burleigh Beach. Best part of the Gold Coast by a long shot. Went to Pacific Fair to shop and stopped for an ice-cream at Baskin and Robbins, they had fairy floss/cotton candy flavoured ice-cream, it was wonderful, tasted just like the real thing They don't have it listed on their webpage yet so I am not sure if it is only a test flavour.

Thanks to the worst web hosting company in the world, MDWEBHOSTING, I lost all my mail for a 24hr period, I also had my website hacked for the second time in less than 6 weeks, they deleted all my site and restored it with a 6 month old version, hopefully things will be stable now. Looking for a new host.

Sorry for no updates, been busy at work and home, not a lot of computer time Was a new MAME released the other day though.

Just come across this interesting little stop motion video by the Game Over Project. They also have Space Invaders, Pong and Pole Position in their collection, enjoy.

2 weeks off and now back to the grindstone, no rest for the wicked.

Been collecting music videos since I had a broadband connection 10 years ago, still got a few missing from my alltime favourites, do you have a copy somewhere ?

Euphoria- 1 in a million
Jim Steinman - Dance in my pants
Blueboy - Remember me
Supersuckers - Born with a tail
King Trigger - Floating down the river (in a dugout canoe)
Meatloaf - Paradise by the dashboard light (From Leap of Faith)

Christmas is a crazy time at the best of times, but moving house a couple of days beforehand is just silly, but we just did it. Can't say it all went smoothly but the end result is great. Only downside is I went from cable to ADSL1, the speed decrease is quite amazing, need to apply for ADSL2+ and hope my speed will improve greatly, I have read some horror stories about people getting ADSL2+ and getting no speed increase.
