The Legend of Old Grandma Fossett
6 March 2006For years, my mother’s family has owned a small property near Oberon, where we used to go as a family. I used to love the place, and Dad, my brother and I would go ride around on motorbikes and go hunting for wild pigs, foxes, rabbits etc.
The thing I always remember though is the old […]
Review- SummerStorm
27 January 2006Review - SummerStorm (Sommerstürm)
(In German, English subtitles)
This is a movie that I have been looking forward to for some time. A new entrant in the “feel-good gay movie” genre, SummerStorm is a brilliant yet cheesy combination of romance, stunning cast, humour and wet-eyed coming-of-age.
The synopsis follows the plight of Tobi as he and his […]
Neoconservatism or Theocracy?
2 May 2005Neoconservatism or Theocracy?
This Wednesday night, the Seven network will screen a show based on Dan Brown’s infamous book, The Da Vinci Code. I don’t even have to think too much about the stance it will take on such a controversial issue. Undoubtedbly, it will debunk Brown’s “blasphemous” allegations, to some extent. To do otherwise would […]
Voluntary Student Unionism
26 April 2005A lovely weekend out on the airfield. There’s something about the crisp country air mixed with a touch of Avgas that really perks you up!
I’ve got an hour or so to kill now, so I thought I would write a little something. It’s merely a piece of writing that may or may not spark debate. […]
Review - Latter Days
11 April 2005Review
Latter Days
Steven Sandvoss, Wes Ramsey. Director: C.Jay Cox
“So your church doesn’t like alcohol or homosexuals? Well I’m not joining. I couldn’t imagine heaven without both”
The usual public preconception of a gay-themed independent film is that of a low budget, poorly shot film that leaves you wondering after the film what it was about. Kinds of […]
The Death of Monogamy
10 March 2005I won lotto !!!!!
Well, all $44.50 worth… which is still quite a windfall for me! Can’t argue with that, I guess. With my spectacular influx of income, I decided to go buy myself the latest edition of DNA. Yes, I know DNA magazine is the literary equivalent of “Spot Goes to the Shops”, just with […]
Couldn\’t have said it better
28 October 2004The election is over, yes. Old news, yes.
This was shown to me tonight by , and I knew I had to quote it in LJ.
Read it over, and offer your thoughts.\

What does it mean to be gay and Liberal ?
16 March 2004I sit here tonight, completely bored of uni work. For some reason or another, I feel it is time to improve my debating skills and essay techniques. Being an engineering student, I haven’t written a decent piece of writing for over 3 years. So I decided tonight, I would get political. Usually, I’m not politically […]
