Okay so they still lack that oomph...

..but I'm still proud of them anyway.

I'm referring to my latest gallery up over at pbase. I think I must've sent the link to all I know, whether they care or not.

That's the thing with happy-snappers like me I guess. Whenever we come up with a photo that has some semblance of decency to it, we like to dance around and rave about it over and over again. Its some form or rain dance I think. Maybe if I keep doing it, then I'll eventually have real talent and not just luck.

So while I dance around and pray for the gift of artistic ability, bear with me and drop by my humble little gallery...

36 men and a ball

We were told right from our first few months here in Melbourne, that our Aussie experience would not be complete without watching Aussie rules Football.

So we did. Almost everyone from AGL Onsite team trekked to Telstra Dome last Saturday to watch the St. Kilda Saints eat Collingwood Magpies alive. They are currently the first and last ranked teams respectively.

My thoughts on the game? While nothing still beats The Beautiful Game, it was not boring. I was cringing with pain everytime they slammed into each other. Don't know how the game is played? Imagine American Football without the pads and Rugby without rules. The field is much much bigger than Futbol, and people are everywhere. You have 36 players running around, 3 (or is it 5?) umpires inside during the game, plus coaching staff from each team (yes, they can run inside to hand water to the players and there are other staff whose main job is to relay the coach's orders direct to the players.)

Troy

I saw Troy last Friday. I won't add another review to what I'm sure will be a thoroughly reviewed movie anyway. But I will say this....

Its been three days since I saw the film, and I'm still drooling over Brad Pitt.

*drool* *sigh* *swoon* *sigh*
