Phew, got back before the squatters ... and the C.H.U.D.S

Hey all, its been a while. I kinda looked like I dropped off the face of the earth. Its slightly less exciting than that, more along the lines "I lost my keys down a drain and had to wrestle an Alligator to get them back, but he was into greco-style wrestling, so I had to go out and buy some oil, but when I get back, I used all the oil for cooking, which made all the food taste weird and slightly .. well you know ... wrestled. Then I hear a knock at the door and its the Alligator wearing a top hat and bow tie, but in really inappropriate places (like on his elbow, I mean whats the deal with that) and instead of talking, musical notes are coming out of his mouth and popping like bubbles. And then I look down at my hand, but its not a hand, its a HAM!"

So as you've probably noticed on Shan's blog we've moved again into a new building, which is far superior to the place we were just in for only a month. Less insects (that we can find, but I swear if Gregor Samsa shows up, it's hatchet time), less dirt, less hearing other people, more calm, more ocean views. Its a tiny bit smaller but it still fits our stuff in quite well.

Went and saw VNV nation and they were awesome. What a great show, Ronan Harris was able to crowd control so well, and to hear his voice change from Dublin accent to the his singing voice was amazing and the fact no obvious alterations to his voice made it that much better. I had a great time at the show, the previous act, a synthpop band from Toronto, Solvent, was also a lot of fun.

Seen a tonne of movies (well several) of which I liked all. 3:10 to Yuma, Eastern Promises, Elizabeth: the golden age (although production did not in fact increase by 10) are the latest conquests. I still have to go see 30 days of night and Resident Evil, thankfully I have some of you in spirit form to come with me.

And lastly, my birthday was today (and yesterday in Australia). Yay! I had a great dinner on Monday night with Shan, Christine and Rob at Taki's Taverna. We ate a lot and was very happy with the delicious greek food. And to my surprise, my wonderful, amazing wife, bought me an Xbox 360 and I also received an extra controller, Halo and Gears of War. Already Shan and I have played alot of Halo, soon we will play online and "pwn some n00bs".

So things are looking up. Smiles all round.

Now I'll clear away the dust and have this place back in working shape.

Cheers,
Jaime

P.S IN YOUR SLEEP! (you know who you are)
