Anne's comments on the movie Bruce Almighty about sum it up. Poor. It's a shame - annoying as Jim Carrey can be, he can often do OTT comedy well, and the concept for this film offered a good opportunity, especially coming from the director of the decent Liar Liar. The main character, who is given God's powers, is a horrible one with whom no-one can sympathise. He should have been smited at the start rather than been taught a lesson. The film attempts to teach a lesson, and fails due to the smug Carrey failing at the heartfelt stuff. Jennifer Aniston does nothing and Morgan Freeman fails to impress. We should have seen Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle instead, and that's saying something! Two stars.
Read a book instead
I'm currently reading a great book called The Surgeon Of Crowthorne, by Simon Winchester. It's about the creation of the Oxford English Dictionary, and specifically about an insane veteran of the American Civil War who was one of its major contributors. Recommended for those who like anecdotal history, words and dictionaries.
Darwin devastated by SKT's birth
Darwin is notable as a city partly for what is missing. Cyclone Tracey destroyed much of the city on Christmas Eve 1974, about the time my mum was returning home having given birth to me. Such was the destruction, that it was debated whether to rebuild the city. And to think, all this when I was only just starting to bring joy on the other side of the world.
Nude Photo Shock!
I've added a second photo album to my Yahoo photos, to cut down on load time. I've also added a few photos, including ones of spiders from our night-time rainforest trek and, you lucky people, one of our skinny dipping adventure. Censored, natch.
