Entertainment QotW: Movie Prices

nobody@vox.com(FrumpyGibbon) — Wed, 02 Jul 2008 07:58:52 +1000

How much does a ticket cost at your usual movie theater? Does the price affect the number of movies you see at the theater? Submitted by Kristie. I have a usual movie theatre? LOL I have not actually been to the movies since ... I don't know h...

Music QotW: Favorite Soundtrack

nobody@vox.com(FrumpyGibbon) — Wed, 25 Jun 2008 23:14:41 +1000

What's your favorite soundtrack? When you say "soundtrack", I sincerely hope you are referring not only to films but also musicals. I have two. The first is "Sweeney Todd" by Stephen Sondheim, and not because of the recent, massively-hyped mov...

Disco Fever!

nobody@vox.com(FrumpyGibbon) — Wed, 25 Jun 2008 15:19:05 +1000

Yes, it's that time of year again. Last night was the annual School Disco. The 5-year-old had been asking me about it for a good 3 or 4 months - how many sleeps, etc, and then finally the announcement came a couple of weeks ago that it was to be...

Weekend in Canberra

nobody@vox.com(FrumpyGibbon) — Mon, 23 Jun 2008 22:42:54 +1000

Last week since we had no plans for the weekend, my partner and I decided that a family weekend away was in order. And since we had visited only very fleetingly a couple of years ago, we decided to make the nation's capital, Canberra, our destina...

Life QotW: This Week in Life...

nobody@vox.com(FrumpyGibbon) — Mon, 23 Jun 2008 20:34:11 +1000

What would you like to accomplish this week? It's very simple - I just want to tidy my room. It's awfully cramped in there at the moment. It isn't a large room to begin with, yet it has a queen-sized bed, my daughter's cot, a built-in wardrobe...

Betrayed

nobody@vox.com(FrumpyGibbon) — Thu, 19 Jun 2008 14:10:49 +1000

So, I'm officially having "health issues" at the moment. Won't go into gory details but have learned this week that I have a certain "condition", for lack of a better word. It's not something that is actually affecting my health, and hopefully i...

What sort of crazy world do we live in when people just drop in without calling first???

nobody@vox.com(FrumpyGibbon) — Fri, 13 Jun 2008 16:30:59 +1000

(Let me just preface my rant by saying "Damn! It's been a long time since I've posted anything here!" There have been several reasons for this which I will not bore you with at this time...) Anyway, as I was saying, this is an issue for me. Pe...

Aahhhhh ....

I have to say, this pseudo-blog is showing up my very worst fault - lack of commitment. I find it really hard to commit to things - I don't know why. I always want an open ended contract. But there you go. I have been extremely busy lately. I...

Vox Hunt: Treat Your Feet

nobody@vox.com(FrumpyGibbon) — Wed, 30 Apr 2008 22:06:34 +1000

Show us your favorite pair of shoes. These are my current favourites. They look pretty awful from that perspective, but are very comfy and I get comments on their cuteness all the time. Which is saying something as I have size 10 feet.

QotD: Road Trip

nobody@vox.com(FrumpyGibbon) — Wed, 30 Apr 2008 22:02:20 +1000

When was the last time you drove out of town? Last week the kids and I drove down to my mum's for a day visit. She lives in The Gong, about 80 km from Sydney. I don't know if it really counts, though. Other than that, last trip I did was down ...
