ANZAC Day
Monday April 28, 2008

I have the day off today – Yay!

Moving on… =)

Thanks for the get well wishes. I’m still a little sick, but I am getting better! I now no longer have the flu, and I only have a sinus infection to get over (I think I’ve almost got it whacked).

In fact, I’m feeling so much better that today I went to the shops, bought three books (well, two magazines and one book) and am currently searching for recipes that feature lemons (as they are in season right now). It’s either that or make bread… maybe a nice cheese filled bread…

This last Friday was ANZAC day. I watched part of the service at Lone Pine on TV… I was quite moved by it. I think when I’m older and I have kids, I would like to travel to Gallipoli and attend the dawn service with them. I’m definitely not the most patriotic person in the world, and for the life of me I will never understand the zeal that some people approach our service men and women with, but I recognise the impact of what was done during the first (and second) world wars.

On a much lighter note, I went and watched Street Kings with Vincent last night. I haven’t watched that many movies lately because none of them have looked too appealing to me, and I am so glad that I had vouchers and didn’t actually have to pay to see this one… It was awful! It had the most predictable story line ever, the action was predictable, the cast was deadpan, and well… I was tapping my fingers to try and overcome the sheer boredom.

And even the trailers before the movie weren’t inspiring. Sigh.

One movie that does look good though is Deception. It could be my major weakness for both Hugh Jackman and Ewan McGregor, but it looks good to me! I wish I had gone to see that last night instead of Street Kings. Oh well =)
