Melbourne is Neverland to me...

Being a country boy I find Melbourne to be a big free amusement park.
Getting around on Trams is a fun ride.
Federation Square has an awesome giant tv with trippy ads and weird bent buildings all around.
There are weirdo buskers and freaks of all kind and on Smith Street and you can walk down the road in your pyjamas and people barely blink at you and you wonder if you are dreaming.
I love the 7/11, the cheap food and the absurd magnificence of it all.

Two Cigarettes in the Dark

Two Cigarettes in the Dark

Two, two cigarettes in the dark
He strikes a match 'til the
Spark clearly traces
One face is my sweetheart.
Two, two silhouettes in a room
Almost obscured by the gloom
We were so close yet so far apart,
It happened that I stumbled in
Upon their rendezvous.
I heard my sweetheart whispering
"I love you, I love you, you know that I do."
Two, two cigarettes in the dark,
Gone is the flame and the spark
Leaving just regrets and two cigarettes in the dark.

Just went and saw District 9

I absolutely give District 9 five stars out of five.
This film is the future of the science fiction action movie genre.
No Hollywood spoon feeding bullshit. Good suspension of disbelief.
Entertaining, funny and a nice amount of pathos.
Hopefully it will become a trilogy.
Don't want to give anything away but if you've seen the trailer it's still
nothing like what you will experience when you have a look.
Nice dirty looking CGI for a change.
This and Star Trek are my favourite films of the year and I'm only half a geek.
