Hitting your download limit is very very frustrating.

You know what else is frustrating? Waiting for the final two episodes of season two of True Blood. This season has brought new meaning to the word 'cliffhanger'. Seriously, you might think Lost knows how to do a cliffhanger. That is true. But Lost needs to take some lessons from True Blood. Because they end episodes leaving with with the desperate, desperate need to have more. MORE. No other show I can name comes even close.

True Blood has been good this season, better than last season I'd say. Entourage has been better this year too. Shows I'm looking forward to returning?
- Fringe
- Lost
- 30 Rock
- Gossip Girl
- The Office
- How I Met Your Mother

They're the main ones. To a lesser extent:
- Chuck (I barely watched much of it this season, but I'm glad it's still on)
- United States of Tara (Soooooo good, but didn't grab me as much as the others)
- Parks and Recreation (pretty good, found its feet, needs to hit its straps)

Meh, I hate download limits. Stupid old infrastructure.

When You Are Having One of Those Days

Ya know those days when you feel like you just have to fight the world? Nothing seems to be going right, and everything is an up hill battle. Our kids have that feeling sometimes too and just don’t know how to handle the emotion.

When children are having a bad day they often don’t know how to deal with it. They get frustrated and sometimes mad. Why not help them divert that energy with exercise. Get them a punching bag and some gloves an teach them how to release their stressful emotions through exercise.

It takes big balls to play soccer with your car...

Check out this clip from BBC's "Top Gear" where they play soccer using cars... pretty entertaining.

Recycled Style #2 - Big Sister Violet in her Big Sister Tee

Beautiful little Violet Affleck first wore her Big Sister tee by Pluto Kids in January when little sister Seraphina was born, seen here with her daddy, actor Ben Affleck. While shopping with mummy this week, actress Jennifer Garner, Violet matched it with some really cute sneakers (watch this space) and an adorable teddy bear on roller skates. So sweet.
Hmmm, will I need another one of these shirts soon...?

Chapter 83.6: What to do?

Recently, my wife has been updating the Web site for her company. And that's gotten me to thinking about a topic I've had on my mind a lot over the past couple of years: Should I build a Web site for myself — my writing self?

I do a little freelance work. Having a Web site might be a good way to attract more work, though to be honest, the best way is to go out and pursue it, not expect it to come to a Web site others don't know exists.

Should I try to park my domain name now and come back to the site later, when I have published books to hawk? Perhaps. But my name is already being used by someone else (probably someone named Matt Sinclair), so what would I be saving? Perhaps the name of my first book. There may be sense to do that, but does that mean I'd have to create a new site for the second book? And what if the first book is never bought and published, but the second (or third or fourth) becomes my first "real" novel? Well, I don't really know.

Then, there's also the issue of having the time. If I'm to build a site, I need to take time to do it right. As those who've visited this blog and my writing-related blog, the Elephant's Bookshelf, know, I barely have enough time to habitate this little avenue of cyberspace, so adding one more rest stop along the highway probably isn't going to make the trip any smoother.

My hope is to eventually blend this and the other blogs into one primary site for me as a writer. But I believe it makes more sense for me to take what little time I have to actually write. I have work that could be done on my "finished" novel, and query letters to send out. I also have a second novel that's begun, which has characters locked en flagrante in Antarctica. Ok, maybe that's not quite true, but I think there was some love brewing when I was last mentally visiting that little spot of ice on the world.

So for now, I'll stick with my blogs. I don't need to spend money to park something when I can always get a new domain that's named something interesting. Hope no one minds.

KE'SENGALAN'AN TAHAP MELAMPAU!!!

Soul Calibur Broken Destiny...Next Week?!

Wow this totally snuck up on me since I haven't been paying much attention to PSP news. I still haven't decided to pick up the PSP GO so it would be premature to pick BD up in anticipation.

The wait for Tekken 6 has definitely got me in the mood for a fighter and I'm still not convinced that game should be BlazBlue.

Aside from Beatles Rockband, the September release game I'm super psyched about is Muramasa: The Demon Blade. Being a big Odin Sphere fan and 2D in general, this is about as good as it gets. That cover image from the latest issue of play magazine is bananas. I don't think I can bring that into the house or even keep it at my desk at work.

A voyage... of rediscovery

Occasionally I come across something I loved once and remember why I loved it. It's a great feeling. An album, a TV show, a book, a movie, an activity... whatever. Here's a random list

Things to rediscover

- Oasis, 'What's The Story, Morning Glory?'. Despite the dong-referencing name, this is a great album. Full of life and rock and guitars and cocaine.
- 'Arrested Development'. Seriously, go back and watch any random episode from this show. It will be great.
- John Marsden, 'Tomorrow When The War Began'. I started re-reading the first one recently. It took me back. I think I want to skip ahead to the middle ones though, where the action gets massively intense.
- Lil Wayne, 'Tha Carter III'. Whenever I feel like maybe I'm bored with rap, I put on Lil Wayne and he reminds me of what's clever. He is.
- The Matrix. 10 years on, is it still as awesome? I think so.
- The Beatles, 'Sergeant Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band'. So many good songs.
- The Beatles, 'Abbey Road'. A completely different feel, but just as good.
- Dinosaur comics. I don't always read this every day, but quite often they are gold.
- Cricket With Balls. Jrod has been covering the Ashes like a mad man. It's been good reading.

Fun! Off to buy a car stereo now.

Chapter 83.5: Meaningful Games in 2011?

My Mets are so done they're using the lines from the grill as their pinstripes.

Remember April? Back then, this Mets team was supposed to be the one that fans would look back on and say, "Remember that '09 club? Johan, Cy Young Award. Reyes, MVP. Wright, a Gold Glove and the solid gold leader of the team. Gary Sheffield came in and hit his 500th homer in April and then Carlos Delgado did the same in September, like Hall of Fame bookends. Even Billy Wagner, expected to be gone for the entire year, came back in August to solidify the bullpen with the best late-inning one-two punch the game had seen in a decade. That was the final ingredient that perfected the recipe. New York Mets, World Champs of 2009."

But no. Not even close. The Mets haven't had a meaningful game since before the All-Star break. Every single one of their so-called "core players" went on the disabled list: Reyes, Wright, Delgado, Beltran, Santana. Add to them Brian Schneider and Angel Pagan, John Maine and Oliver Perez. (Don't get me started about Perez!) Hell, even Alex Cora was lost for the season!

Abysmal. Thank God for the Washington Nationals.

Back in March, I had meant to do my annual season predictions. I had expected the Mets to come in second behind the Phillies, win the wild card, and advance to the World Series. But I didn't write it. There just wasn't enough time. I'm glad. It's bad enough that I'll admit that I thought this was going to be a good team. What's worse, Omar Minaya was signed to a three-year contract extension that hasn't even begun yet. This team is bad. The mechanic hasn't proven he can be fully trusted after several years under the hood. What's a fan to do?

Flirting with disaster

Recently I did a post on a friend who wasn't having a lot of luck with the ladies. It inspired me to see if there was a formula he could use to know whether a lady might be interested in him.

I have developed one.However, I fear it is so complicated, with so many variables, that it will prove useless to the common man. For that, I apologise.

(A number of these factors can be a plus or a minus to the end score, depending on the woman. For example, a good looking guy might get a plus score because he is attractive; or he might get a minus score because he is too attractive, and the woman feels she isn't pretty enough for him/he is out of reach. Another example: a guy can be charming (plus!) or too charming (minus).)

The formula that governs whether a woman will be attracted to a man the first time she meets him includes (but is not limited to) these factors:

1 - How attractive he is (plus or minus)
2 - How attractive he could be with a bit of work
3 - How charming he is in conversation (plus or minus)
4 - How nice his eyes are
5 - How pretty his smile is
6 - How bloated the woman is feeling at that exact point
7 - The woman's emotional state at that exact point
8 - The woman's previous romantic history
9 - The woman's most recent romantic liaison
10 - The woman's history with men who kind of remind her of this man (plus or minus)
11 - The woman's self image at that exact point (plus or minus)
12 - The woman's blood-alcohol content
13 - How the woman is feeling about her hair at that exact point
14 - How the woman is feeling about her outfit at that exact point
15 - Which friends the woman has with her
16 - Whether it is daytime or nighttime
17 - The woman's position in her menstrual cycle
18 - The woman's tendency to self destruct (plus or minus)
19 - Whether he is marriage material or not (plus or minus)
20 - The woman's level of self awareness about any of these factors (plus or minus)

Sure, I've missed out a fair few. But I think that covers most of the important ones.

So my advice to men is: there is no formula. Meeting women is not an engineering problem that can be solved with a logical approach. You kinda have to play it by ear. Good luck!

Zebra Print Girl Clothes

Can you visualize how adorable this will be on your little one?

If your little girl loves ruffles and twirly stuff she will love these.

• Zebra print Capri sets with different colors
• Boutique tee and hot pink twirly skirts
• Zebra print swing coat
• Choose your own colors for a hat
• Zebra Print Bolero Jacket

Do you think she would have fun dressing up all cozy in one of these zebra print swing coats? How about you Mom’s, Aunt’s, and Grandma’s, (Let me know who I left out here.), how would you like a Zebra Coat to match your little twirly girl?

The Linking. It's the hardest part.

Okay, so enough of boring cricket posts! Here are a bunch of links! And I mean a bunch! Lots of links!

- 15 Ludicrous straight to DVD movie sequels. I've seen none of them, and only two of the original movies.

- Remember Omarosa from the first season of The Apprentice? The kinda bitchy villain? Well, she's enrolling in the seminary with the aim of becoming a minister. Did not expect that one.

- And here are some rare behind-the-scenes photos from Star Wars. I'm really in love with Carrie Fisher. She looks so cute and gorgeous in these photos.

They all look like they're having heaps of fun. Awww, Star Wars :)

- Check out some pics from the Cardboard Tube Fighting League!

- Hey, you all remember that movie that came out last year that had Julia Roberts, Ryan Reynolds, Ioan Gruffudd, Carrie-Anne Moss, Hayden Panettiere, Emily Watson and Willem Dafoe? No? Me neither. Why the hell wasn't Fireflies in the Garden given any more attention??

- And a link about Kanye - what he was like before his ego took over. Please listen to Get By, linked there. It is really, really good.

Enough for now!

Dave Ryan from 101.3 KDWB......

I think people from Minneapolis think we are upset about Bretty-poo. Well, last year he wasn't a Packer, so do you think we are going to be more upset this year? No. Nice sign by the way. Suck it.

It Is Well

I broach the deep subject of well water, and the need to raise it up from the grasp of gravity. During the last decade my property has become increasingly parched. The water table has dropped, and my well cannot produce the flow to green up my acre. The installation of a holding tank, years back, only delayed the dehydration. When, this August, the water dribbled into the tank as slow as slobber I knew it was time to dig deeper for the precious liquid.

Thus began the drain of our precious savings. We hired men to drill a 300 foot cylinder of space into the earth’s crust beside our driveway. Now I need to dangle the submersible pump in the abyss to draw the slurpy from the depths.

I’m hoping for a happy ending to my water woes. But deeper meanings can be plumbed here. I am reminded of the story of Jesus beside a deep well in the dry region of Samaria. It was here that Christ told a promiscuous woman about the spiritual water of the Holy Spirit. He said, ”Whoever drinks of the water that I will give him will never be thirsty again. The water that I will give him will become in him a spring of water welling up to eternal life.”

In today’s culture of easy belief and casual Christianity, I suspect that many souls continue to thirst. Multitudes have crowded around the dry fountain of man-centered, seeker-friendly, religion, instead of being filled by the power and presence of Almighty God. Playing church does not a Christian make. Being chosen by God, in Christ, before the foundation of the world (Eph 1:4) to be born again of water and the Spirit (Jn 3:5) does.

Is there living water in your life?

Jeremiah 2:13 "For my people have committed two evils: they have forsaken me, the fountain of living waters, and hewed out cisterns for themselves, broken cisterns that can hold no water."

1 Corinthians 10:1-4 "For I want you to know, brothers, that our fathers were all under the cloud, and all passed through the sea, and all were baptized into Moses in the cloud and in the sea, and all ate the same spiritual food, and all drank the same spiritual drink. For they drank from the spiritual Rock that followed them, and the Rock was Christ."

Revelation 21:6b "To the thirsty I will give from the spring of the water of life without payment."

Eco Princess Style - Think Green Kids Tee by Revenge Is...

Soleil Moon Frye, co-owner of The Little Seed, an environmentally friendly children's boutique, was seen in LA with daughters Poet & Jagger this past week, Poet wearing a really groovy Think Green Kids Tee by Revenge Is.. I found it through Inhabitots which is a really cool website whose mission is "sustainable design for the next generation" and they are a great source of information for environmentally aware parents. I look forward to having a better look through their site when I have some spare time. Being eco friendly should be at the top of our lists as parents of the future generations, who will likely be most affected by the choices we make today

NEW to gigi + lulu - Eco Princess Style

Whichever way you look at it, we are living in a world that will need a little more TLC in years to come and many more designers of children's clothing and accessories are choosing to use more environmentally friendly materials in their products to help in this cause. I am starting a new feature here at gigi + lulu called Eco Princess Style which will showcase some of those designers and retailers who are helping to look after our planet for our children and their children

Thanks to My Tiny Princess, Disney Clip Art & Themes4BB for the green princess images I have found to introduce this new feature at gigi + lulu - all things sugar & spice

PS: Check out My Tiny Princess for absolutely beautiful ideas for Halloween costumes for your little princess. October is just around the corner and their tutus are divine : )

Probably my last post about cricket for a while

Since I was a young boy, Australian cricket has been building towards a better future. I can just remember the terror the West Indies inspired. I can remember us being the constant underdog. But I can also remember the hope we had in our young players, and the feeling that we were never out of the contest.

My young mind accepted this as the norm. My worldview included these statements:
- Australia is very good at cricket
- Australia can win from anywhere

Those two things are no longer true. And a part of my world has been shattered. That may help you understand how hard I'm taking this Ashes loss. I have been blessed to live the majority of my life with an Australian team that contained:
- Shane Warne, simply the greatest leg spinner ever.
- Glenn McGrath, the most consistent and effective fast bowler seen outside the West Indies.
- Steve Waugh, a freakishly dominant batsman and fierce leader.
- Ricky Ponting, our best batsman since Bradman, period.
- Adam Gilchrist, a man who single-handedly redefined the wicketkeeper-batsman position.
- Matthew Hayden, a scary monster of an opening batsman
and a stack of other supporting names, who could be relied on to deliver when needed.

We are no longer very good at cricket. We are pretty good at cricket.

We can no longer win from anywhere. The only Test we won in England was when England were atrociously, criminally bad. We failed to win the First Test, when our foot was on their throat. And we failed to produce the kind of sparkling match-winning innings that used to turn a scary day four pitch into a thrilling day five run chase.

I kind of don't want to think about cricket for a while. At least Ben Hilfenhaus did well.

The pain. It hurts.

So depressed.

So depressed.

Some random conclusions:

- I feel bad for Ponting. He has played a couple of fantastic innings this series, he's captained fairly well, and his team has dominated statistically. And he's going to lose two Ashes series in England.

- I feel bad because this will make all those tired old hacks like Jeff Thomson, who try to remain relevant by bagging current players, feel vindicated.

- Hussey, despite his century, should be gone. He will be given one more chance. But he has not come close to performing for a long long time. Dooda says it's since Gilchrist retired. Who knows why?? Regardless, new blood.

- Clarke needs to move to no. 4 and bat with Ponting more. As it stands, he's always coming in when we're in crisis. He should be coming in to help Ponting pile on the pressure.

- Do we keep Watson at the top of the order? I think so. He will need to go and make a real score or two, but he's got the mental strength to succeed there. We need someone with arrogance and self-belief opening. And Watson has self-belief in spades.

- Johnson... Johnson... needs to break down what works for him and what doesn't. And then he needs to just bowl fast and hard. And break stumps and ribs.

- Hilfenhaus and Siddle are worth pursuing with. Clark can do a job for a while longer, but he is on the way out due to his age. Unless he proves to be as durable as Glenn McGrath, which I doubt.

- Jasn Krejza MUST be given another chance at Test level. He is an Australian spinner who TAKES WICKETS. And he can bat. He turns the ball. Give him another shot! He took 11 wickets in his first and ONLY Test. In India. Yep, the same country where Shane Warne got carted. His omission from the national squad is criminal.

- Kate mentioned this interview with Lily Allen and Aggers at the wedding today. Have a listen. I like Lily :) She knows about cricket, which is cool.

- Australia needs to study why we've failed in England these last two times, and get it right for 2013. Break it down, and prepare a team to dominate England.

- We need new blood at the selectors' table. Andrew Hilditch... needs to go. Clarke should have been promoted up the order, Clark should have been picked earlier, we should have taken another batsman to replace Hussey during the tour, Hauritz was the wrong spinner....

- This series has been the making of Michael Clarke as the next captain of Australia. He was always the anointed one, but a bit of flash rather than a gritty streetfighter. He has shown his battling qualities in these Tests and in the public's eyes he is definitely the right man to lead after Ponting goes.

- Punter will stay on and captain Australia to reclaim the Ashes in 2010/20111. That will be his final series. We'll win 5-0 again.

- Astrid found the only, only positive out of this abysmal mess. Vaughan 05: 2-1 win. Strauss 09: 2-1 win. Flintoff 06/07: 0-5 loss. HAHAHAHAHAHAHA.

- Speaking of 2005, where the freak was the English weather when Australia needed it??!?!? The clouds and bad light were always there when England needed them in 2005. Now, while Australia is trying to hold on for a draw, where is the bloody English summer rain!?!?

- Flintoff will be knighted at some stage. It will be the event that makes 21 million Australians vomit.

- Statistically, Australia has dominated this Test series. Eight hundreds to England's one. The three leading wicket takers. And yet we've lost two Tests.

I'm so, so unhappy.

DUGAAN DI HARI MULIA

today 1st day of puasa mcm biasa kita akan sentiasa diuji dgn mcm2 dugaan.. biasa lah bru hari pertama mesti ada yg terlupa yg kita ni berpuasa sampai ada yg terkorek idung la,terkorek telinga la yg masa tu gak la nk gatal telinga nk gatal hidung..

and for me lak mcm tahun2 terdahulu klu 1st day of puasa mesti aku dpt migrain.. adooiiiii,mmg sakit gila sampai tarik ke mata tu,nk makan ubat tak boleh nnti syg lak puasa tu batal camtu je so kena la tahan gak.. rasa mcm nk tekan2 je biji mata tu supaya kurang arr skit sakit tu tp tak menjadik gak,makin sakit ada la(giler ape pi tekan biji mata).

hari pertama puasa aku bangkit dri tido je pi jenguk kt luar tgk cuaca mendung je tambah lak angin tiup kencang dan diiringi lak ngan hujan lebat,mmg sejuk giler arrr rasanye tpi alhamdulillah at least sejuk skit 1st day puasa tu. so rancangan nk pegi Mydin Mall pun tergendala konon nk pi pgi2 supaya tak ramai sgt org,terpaksa la tunggu ujan berhenti. Dh dekat pukul 1pm gak la bru nk kuar umah nk beli brg skit.

dh on the way tu kena la pulak pegi Putrajaya singgah ke umah member hubby,dlm kul 3pm tu gerak la kitorang ke Mydin and my ashraf dpt la motor mainan sebijik sbb dia tak nak bgi balik kt member hubby.. terpaksa la meminjam jap sbb ashraf mmg suka sgt ngan motor tu(ape la ashraf ni lain kali pinjam la keta control ke,chehhhh!!!).

dh sampai Mydin lak nk cari parking satu hal sbb mmg ramai sgt org time tu.. tp nasib baik la kitorang dpt parking tak jauh sgt dri entrance, yg jdik masalahnye time kitorang tgh tunggu parking tu senang2 je ada sorang pakcik ni trus je nk amik parking kitorang, ape BUTA ke pakcik tu yg kitorang ni dh tunggu skit punya lama arrr siap bgitau lgi dpn2 muka pakcik tu yg kitorang nk parking kt situ. mmg betul tak paham bahasa la pakcik tu.. last skali kitorang gak dpt parking tu sbb kitorang cpt2 masuk.. how do you expect young people to respect older people klu older people tak reti nk respect young people!! come on la kena la tolerate same2,kn parking kt mydin tu ada 1000+ bay takkan ko tak nmpak ada keta dh tunggu lama..

itu bru satu hal,lgi satu bila lps pegi ke Mydin kitorang pun nk gerak la pegi cri pasar ramadhan,so kami pun tuju la ke 'tooootttt' ni,dh xde lak parking so terpaksa la aku sorang je yg turun sbb ashraf tido and paking lak susah nk dpt sbb kitorang dh sampai lambat.. aku ni everytime bulan puasa mesti aku akan cri nasi dagang sbb aku mmg suka nasi dagang...hehehe

nk dijadikn cerita aku trnampak la gerai yg jual nasi dagang ni,yg bikin aku tension sgt tp masih lgi bersabar ni klu org dh order food yg same ko buat la dua ke tiga ke,ini tak pi buatnye satu2 abis tu org yg dh tunggu lama tak ditanye nk ape tp org yg bru jejak kt gerai tu trus dpt order,adoiii mmg bengang giler arrr style org berniaga mcm tu.. mmg slow giler arrr org yg meniaga nasi kerabu dan nasi dagang tu!! tak boleh tahan aku punblah dri situ memandangkn aku ni dh berdiri lama siap dh mntak order tp masih gak tak buat aku nyer order.. aku pun cri gerai lain,nasib baik la dpt gak nasi dagang aku.

dh la kepala berdenyut ngan migrain ditmbah lak ngan ramai org kt pasar ramadhan tu mmg mcm nk pitam je..selesai bukak puasa terus aku telan panadol 2 biji,haaaa kau baru lega kepala ni!!

oklah tu je story for today utk hari pertama puasa!! mmg la mcm2 dugaan kita kena ngadap bila time puasa ni,terpulang pda diri kita sama ada nk terima ataupun tak dugaan dri ALLAH swt ni! sesungguhnye ujian dri ALLAH swt ni mmg btul menguji tahap kesabaran kita..

SELAMAT BERPUASA AND SENTIASA BERSABAR DALAM MENGHADAPI DUGAAN DAN UJIAN DRI ALLAH swt..

Mommy's High Heel Shoes - what a great idea for a book and inspiration for my new weekly shoe feature..watch this space

A friend of mine sent me the link to this book - it's called Mommy's High Heel Shoes. The illustrations are just delightful and I am thinking about getting a copy for Gigi for Christmas. It has also inspired me to start up a new weekly roundup of celebrity baby shoes which will also feature some fantastic children's footwear designers from around the world. I have lots of shoe featured blogs in the "Funky Little Feet" category, including some pretty Australian designs worn by Suri Cruise in her stay here in Australia. You can read more about this lovely little book here

Rainbows? Must be a Government Conspiracy...

OK, so maybe I paid more attention in science class than some people. And I used to watch "3-2-1 Contact" on PBS as a kid, which taught me some stuff. But I'm pretty sure rainbows are caused when water droplets (rain, mist, water from a hose or sprinkler) refract sunlight, causing a prism effect.

I also vividly recall being able to create a small rainbow effect with the spray from our garden hose when I was a kid in the early 80's. And as far as I know, my parents weren't dosing me with LSD at the time.

Of course, this lady thinks that rainbows like that didn't exist 20 years ago. So obviously it must be a government conspiracy to put some goofy chemicals in our water, and stuff that's oozing up through our ground. Now that's a special kind of crazy.



And by the way, if you're dumb enough to start buying into her nutbag theories... here's how rainbows actually work: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rainbow

Suri Cruise - putting her best foot forward - a week in shoes

So many pairs of new shoes - lucky gal! Gigi would love to see what else Suri has in her shoe closet right now. Here are a few of the shoes she was seen "stepping out" in this week (from left to right):

1. Chook Leaf Spanish Stripe Shoe (Navy/White), available online at Ten Little Indians
2. Walnut Grey Canvas Sandshoe, available online at Design Child
3. Monsoon Metallic Pink Flower Ballet Flats from Monsoon UK

UPDATE: Thanks Stardust, the pink ballet flats are actually from Seed and not Monsoon as I mentioned previously - Katie Holmes is a fan of Seed, having shopped up a storm in the Australian boutique this week so no doubt we will see Suri wearing some more of their collection during her stay here in Australia. I am a big fan of Seed and Stardust, though I agree they are a very close match for the Monsoon pair, in fashion there are, and will always be designs with similar styles and construction and Seed wouldn't be the first label to be accused of having something similar to another label. Check out my Clone Zone category, you will see what I mean

Suri-Watch - spotted in Seed store in Melbourne with mummy Katie Holmes

Suri and Katie Holmes were seen shopping up a storm in Seed today - spring/summer 09 available online now - wonder what Katie bought for Suri - lets hope we see real soon : )
