OK , its been a while but its time to get back in the saddle and get some blog down.
Its been a crazy month or two that started with Bathurst. Bathurst is a 1000Km car race around Mount Panorama. Its also 1000 km from home.
After a days drive we rocked up and had a great time on the mountain, camped for four days and came home again. Nobody got injured severely and all had a good time. Pics at Flickr , search for Nerdnotgeek .

Since then we have had Hannahs brthday , the Melbourne Cup horse race and just today Steve and Margies bub MJs christening and BBQ.
Next week is Marns work Xmas BBQ and then we have a couple of weeks off before xmas (if you dont count Josh having basketball saturday mornings at 8.30 till then ! )

Sooooo , apologies for missing the blog but I will try to update a bit more now. And then on to the shiz.....

How to lose friends and alienate people - as has been said before I am a Pegg fan , I loved Spaced and of course Shaun of the Dead. I was even a fan back in the days of Big Train. I was however reticent to watch "How to" after the disappointment of "Run Fatboy, Run". The problem is not so much with the films, they are both quite well made things. The issue is with the fact that Simon Pegg and myself grew up watching stuff and listening to stuff in what appears to be parallel worlds (and Im sure I am not alone in thinking this), the lines he writes for his characters make sense, his references are for english 30 somethings and the link is obviously real.
Imagine my disbelief when I find a clip of him on Youtube on a panel with Kevin Smith, another dude whos work I greatly enjoy.
This leads to the major flaw in the recent two movies - I dont believe them. I guess if given the same chances I would move to LA and start making "funny" movies about relationships but that isnt what I want from Pegg. Ho hum

Good enough movie but not if you are a fan of real comedy.
