- 11:17 @ The Port of Echuca hunting for lunch & Arthur Upfield novels. Only found the latter so far. #
- 12:33 twitpic.com/qau24 - Lunch on the Murray River @ Echuca for Sal's birthday lunch. #
- 12:45 twitpic.com/qavwy - Lunch in Echuca with Sal on the Murray River. #
- 16:28 23 kms north of Bendigo. Need espresso soon or I may perish. #
- 19:05 Love this one. ♫ blip.fm/~gnlob #
- 07:57 Doing podcast stuff. Recording this afternoon. Brain going too fast for the note-taking right now. But the espresso is great & it's raining. #
- 09:51 I discovered yesterday that you can hit a Major Mitchell's cockatoo at 110 kph in a Toyota Corolla and not do any damage to the latter. #
- 10:38 @pegbanditkitty The wee small hours of the morning are the best ones for thinking. #
- 10:40 Listening to Melody Gardot's latest album. Very, very cool. Puts assinine pop divas in their rightful place. In a cultural oubliette. #
- 20:13 There are two types of people in the World. Those who cry at the end of The Umbrellas of Cherbourg and utter bastards. #
- 20:54 How come nobody ever says to vampires: There are six billion of us and a handful of you. Ever seen cattle stampede you pasty faced fucks? #
- 21:56 @pcvin Take it easy mate. #
- 08:46 Long walk to South Melbourne market again this morning. Two oysters with a drop of tabasco, podcasts on the ipod & it's Friday. #
- 11:54 I have the increasing realisation that smokers, ipso facto are total idiots. #
- 12:06 @Pivx put zombies and vampires on the lolly bags. Kids love that stuff. #
- 21:23 Looks like Hungry Beast is going to hit the headlines tomorrow. bit.ly/JKXdo #
- 21:37 Iron Chef America is on and the secret ingredient is The Stuff bit.ly/3cnpgN That's one cuisine that will reign supreme. #
- 07:27 30 degrees at 7.30 in the morning. Love it, going for a walk to Sth Melbourne before work. Melbourne people are so soft... #
- 18:36 Looking forward to a long drive to Echuca for Sal #
- 18:37 Looking forward to a long drive to Echuca for Sal's birthday on Saturday. Echuca is a Klingon word that means caravan park by a river. #
- 08:42 Walked along the Yarra this morning. Lots of cask wine containers, Maccas wrappers and casino roulette cards on the pavement. Classy! #
- 07:07 Vale Edward Woodward - of whom Noel Coward said, "His name sounds like farting in a bathtub." tiny.cc/bO472 #
- 08:16 twitpic.com/pshus - Bridge sculpture on the Yarra River #
- 08:37 twitpic.com/pskst - Giant crab monster in Crown Casino complex. #
- 10:35 Done the lawns & the shopping. Now sitting down to re-enjoy Big Trouble In Little China again. Egg Shen is explaining magic to the guy. #
- 10:40 The guy dealing Fan Tan at the start of Big Trouble in Little China is a dead ringer for Kim Jong Il. Kooky. #
- 18:47 @Susan3138 Silly thing to do. We went for a walk on the local beach this evening. #
- 18:51 Watching The Horse's Mouth (1958) Alec Guinness is superb. Shame people only remember him for the Lucas debacle... #movies #
- 18:55 @DavidMunn You have to see his mad artist Gully Jimson in The Horse's Mouth. Mad, lecherous and crazily charismatic. #
- 18:59 @Susan3138 as long as you behaved yourself ;-)\ #
- 22:44 Just watched The Quiller Memorandum for the podcast. That terse, concise Harold Pinter dialogue makes it a very weird flick. #paleocinema #
- 07:54 Saturday morning. 6 km bike ride to the bread shop, panini with portabello 'shrooms for breakfast, time for espresso and later, lawn mowing. #
- 08:06 "Romulus My Father" #startrekmovietitles Hang on , that's already a movie title #
- 21:53 Just finished watching The Spy Who Came In From The Cold. Haven't seen it for twenty years or so. Big part of the 007 backlash. #
- 07:40 tiny.cc/ib4i9 Youtube trailers for the movies for next week's Paleo-Cinema Podcast. #paleocinema #podcast #
- 18:04 Might do three Berlin spy movies 4 Paleo-Cinema next time. This bit.ly/5Fap this bit.ly/4Et24R and this bit.ly/QMOBl #
- 18:04 @bobfreelander Good choice. I like Hickey and Boggs. Culp is particularly good in it. #
- 22:07 RT@simonblackwell: At polite garden parties, always mind your Ps and Qs, particularly when telling people how much you love Pimms. #
- 07:59 Definitely going with the Cold War Berlin theme for Paleo-Cinema. Checkpoint Charlie here I come. #podcast #paleocinema #
- 08:42 Hopefully we're learning as a global culture that eztreme religious belief is a form or maybe a symptom of, mental illness. #
- 11:50 The English word 'git' is a contraction of the term Google It. #
- 07:24 For the fall of the berlin wall ♫ blip.fm/~g3udz #
- 07:27 Another one by Miss Toni Fisher ♫ blip.fm/~g3uiy #
- 07:30 Walker Brothers - Deadlier Than The Male, featuring Scott Walker ♫ blip.fm/~g3upz #
- 11:20 Lazy Sunday today. Gonna make mushroom panini with chorizo for lunch & not too much else. Maybe a fillum or two. #
- 17:24 This is cool. A Dislike button for Facebook as a firefox add on bit.ly/2aO1xZ About bloody time, too. #
- 17:39 @serafinowicz Which foreign accent do you find sexiest? #
- 19:16 Paleo-Cinema Podcast just scored another country. There's a listener in Belize. And you thought Belize was just a card game. #podcast #
- 07:41 My office is flooded. Emergency plan on another floor. Chaos but good spirits. #
- 11:45 Breakfast @ St Ali, went to craft mkt with Sal, did a 12 km bike ride & now it's time for coffee and dvds. Did sunshine, now time 4 vegging #
- 12:31 First bad movie for the day: The Brick Dollhouse (1967) bit.ly/29o7UM A nudie cutie movie with no plot, characterisation or sense. #
- 13:03 No one can compare to the prince who wears a medallion on his chest #obscurereferences #
- 13:45 @bobfreelander Yep, Thelma Ritter is definitely on the Paleo-Cinema pantheon of cool but forgotten actors. Glad you liked the namecheck. #
- 13:46 Watching Dragonball Evolution because I'm on hiatus from quality films & want to vegetate with errant silliness on DVD. #
- 14:31 We're all descended from those who fought battles for what they believed in: that's why classic westerns are so cool. We're wired for 'em. #
- 14:56 RT @johnperrybarlow: Man is certainly stark mad: he cannot make a flea, yet he makes gods by the dozens. - Montaigne #
- 15:40 @scotsnow I now have a bunch of eps of Prince Planet. Gonna watch them later and go all nostalgic #
- 12:44 Ear Worm for Friday, Baudelaire by Serge Gainsbourg #
- 12:44 My barista gave ne #
- 12:45 My barista gave me free coffee machine cleaning product today. For my espresso machine #
- 17:57 @bobfreelander The coke bottle scene in The Long Goodbye is starlingly brutal, but brilliant. #
- 17:59 @smofbabe Bachmann is annoyed by everything larger than a subatomic particle, #
- 19:13 Love the Westpac ad where they say "We're backing over six hundred bank managers". I wonder what car they drive. #
- 07:43 I'll bet the $cientologists make a lot out of the fact that the Fort Hood shooter was a psychologist. You watch. #
- 11:35 @ The Lido Chinese Cafe again. Crispy chicken & rice, yum #
- 18:47 I love those film ads that say "Only at the movies"... yeah, and also 3.5 million laptops... #
- 18:48 @angriest But then she always knew she'd end up with that career. #
- 07:10 As a good atheist boy, I want someone to send me these cards at Xmas tiny.cc/2QoBF #
- 10:17 Still feeling ill, but have a contrary urge to go for a walk in the warm, sunny weather. Being ill should only be permitted during tempests #
- 14:56 @JonathanStrahan No, Steampunk is also Edwardian cyberpunk. #
- 15:49 I just checked out the comments about Paleo-Cinema Podcast in Podcast Alley bit.ly/QH5Dt Thanks people. I appreciate it. #
- 16:20 @mikestuchbery The swedish meatballs at Ikea are strangely addictive. #
- 16:27 @strangedave The origins of steampunk are many, however. Georges Melies and other silent sf flix, Wells and Verne... lots of 'em. #
- 16:34 Yet another indication that Big Studio Hollywood Just Doesn't Get It bit.ly/32NUTg #
- 16:36 @strangedave @angriest @JonathanStrahan Okay, then how about this bit.ly/2EGBBP & bit.ly/1KvQY2 Both have steampunk aspects #
- 16:41 @angriest @strangedave @JonathanStrahan Crimson Pirate? Flamethrowers, submarines, hot air balloons... anachronistech all over it! #
- 16:43 @angriest @strangedave @JonathanStrahan BTW I just made up the term anachronistech. #
- 16:48 @angriest Spinnakerpunk? #
- 17:26 Hey, just got my first pronbot on twitter. I've made it, baby! #
- 17:28 @strangedave True, but researching movies has shown me that influences come from weird directions and head out the same way #
- 20:51 Vale, Dr No bit.ly/4plC2l #
- 21:04 @_fustian Then you have atompunk which is about Cold War paranoia... #
- 21:12 @strangedave @_fustian Yeah, but Atompunk is such a cool name. Atomic powered cars with fins, vacuum tube supercomputers. Very cool. #
- 21:19 @_fustian Atompunk is a bunch of crazy Dutchmen and women who like Googie Architecture and '57 Thunderbirds ;-) #
- 21:35 @_fustian I've got a 1950s electric razor with a great atomic symbol on it, so I think atompunk's my kind of retro futurism. #
- 08:53 The biggest difference between cats & dogs'? Cats know you're taking the piss when you try to dress them up in silly garb. #
- 17:14 Heading here on Saturday bit.ly/45pZYN Looking forward to it. Foodie heaven. BTW, still feeling ratshit with gastro. #
- 17:14 @DavidMunn Haven't seen Grendel Grendel Grendel for ages. I think Phillip Adams produced it. #
- 18:59 Chitty Chitty Bang Bang for the 21st Century bit.ly/1pXZOR Directed by Timur Bekmambetov who did Night Watch & Day Watch. Cool! #
- 19:29 twitpic.com/m3wt2 - Newstand in Melbourne the day Edward Kennedy died. Picture by me. #
- 19:35 @Krasnostein Eddie McGuire was doing a breakfast radio show, which I will never watch, btw\ #
- 19:44 RT @stephenfry: Desperate story of Akmal Shaikh, bipolar British man facing execution in China; help Reprieve save him bit.ly/3dKk8X #
- 22:26 The 21st Century is interesting. One part of the human race is pulling us to the future, another to the Dark Ages & deep fearful ignorance. #
- 08:34 Still feeling crap today. Turned on TV. The Simpsons? WTF! What is this, 1993? Found a bad werewolf movie instead #
- 09:32 Watching "Surrogates" (2009) Good SF because it's (partly) about the impact of technology on people. Good acting by Bruce Willis. #
- 16:14 I get disappointed when people I care about say racist things. #
- 09:27 Gastro attack! Heading home by train. Been off public transport so long this is a (queasy) adventure. #
- 09:33 @smofbabe I got a horse right here. Its' name is Paul Revere #
- 09:56 twitpic.com/m24mu - Oil storage tank on the way home. Feeling urk! #
