World Cup

Wow the world cup is finally over. 2 months is a long time for any tournament, especially cricket, the games do last for up to 7 hours. As a cricket lover (a proud of it) I have loved the it, well most of it. It was filled with controversy, Bob Woolmer’s death, Pakistan and India not in the super 8, the length of the tournament and finally the world cup final itself. I can proudly say I watched the final, yep all 8 hours of it. It was a long game that went from midnight to 9am. I couldn’t miss the game, Australia has waited 4 years to be the worlds best again, to regain that trophy I was staying up and after all it was Glenn McGrath’s last game. The game was awesome, or should I say Adam Gilchrist was. “His maiden World Cup hundred will be mentioned in the same breath as previous final heroics from Clive Lloyd, the original master blaster, Viv Richards, Aravinda de Silva and Ponting himself.” The Sydney Morning Herald. His 149 off 104 balls will be spoken about for years to come and simply how good it was. I would love to say I saw every ball but sadly I did fall asleep for bout 20 minutes. I fell asleep when Gilchrist was on about 30, batting well and woke up bout half an hour later with the news that he was 8 runs away from a century. He must have exploded and just went crazy with 4 and 6’s everywhere. Why did I fall asleep? I made sure I didn’t fall asleep anymore and watched the rest of the match. I will always remember the 2007 world cup final as Gilchrist’s amazing century and Glenn McGrath’s last game. Congrats Australia

Holidays?

When I was a school kid holidays used to be the best thing ever - no school. life was pretty good you got to lie around the house, sleep in, watch television all day and night, go shopping, go to the movies, really the list goes on. holidays were a time to enjoy. Why did this change? These days holidays don’t exist they are simply are break from doing one thing to move to do something else. Take uni holidays for example, I leaves with 2 assignments to do over the holidays, one due first day back, on top of that I have a job to go back to so I can actually eat the next term, and it’s good to see some friends that I haven’t seen for a good 2 months. With working, study and a social life it’s hard to find time to sleep in, watch tv from morning to night, lie on the couch with no worries. However there is always an upside to these ‘holidays’ I do see my friends and family, one assignment down not many left and I do have money (which is really helpful). So yes my holidays are busy and gone are the days of relaxing but I suppose I wouldn’t change a thing.

Scrubs

In my opinion Scrubs is one the best show ever. I think it’s fair to say that I’ve seen every episode at least 3 times. Scrubs is easy to watch and now in season 6 with rumours going around that it will be its last season. It’s a shame for this show to end but if I’m honest it has started to be going down hill for a season or 2. The first couple of season was so unique to any other show, we followed JD through the hospital. We saw Turk and his friendship and their crazy antics, JD and Elliot’s on and off love affair, Dr Cox ‘teaching’ JD and the janitor tormenting JD. One of the major changes over the seasons is the appearance of the janitor, initially he was only in a couple of scenes with JD with a couple of lines which was usually ad-libbed but this has changed with the janitor having a more prominent and scripted role. This scripting has lost scrubs some of its randomness. Here’s a good drinking game for scrubs, I know you wanna play it.

Reservoir Dogs

I have heard a lot about Quentin Tarantino, Reservoir Dogs, heard it was gruesome, violent, filled with names like Mr Pink,Mr Orange etc. I was intrigued and I wanted to watch it. What type of movies name there characters Mr Pink, weird I know. As I was saying I wanted to see this movie and I saw it for $6 at a Video Ezy store so yeah I bought it. It actually took me a couple of days to watch the movie for I felt I had to be the right mood for a violent film. When I finally watch the movie I loved it. There where some times when I had to look away but in general I really liked this movie and I’m glad I bought it. So anyone out there that is hesitant about watching Reservoir Dogs don’t be, its actually really good. Here’s a script rundown of the movie for those movie buffs who want to read it. if you want to read another opinion I found you a good review.

The Departed

The Departed is one of the best movies I have seen in recent years. It had it all action, drama, a good story and hot boys. The Martin Scorsese films takes place in Boston, Massachusetts, where Irish mob boss Frank Costello (Jack Nicholson) implants Colin Sullivan(Matt Damon) as an informant within the Massachusetts State Police. Simultaneously, the police assign Billy Costigan (Leonardo DiCaprio) to infiltrate Costello's crew. When both sides of the law realise the situation, the two men are dispatched to discover each other's identities. ‘The Departed’ has an all-star cast with the likes of Leonardo DiCaprio, Matt Damon, (Mark Wahlberg) and (Martin Sheen). With a core cast like this it’s hard to imagine the movie being a flop. Here’s a preview of ‘The Departed’ if you haven’t seen you should.
