Found an interesting blog whilst roaming around called Rane. I quite enjoying reading people’s blogs and this girl has just moved to the UK to study for a while. Her observations about her stay make interesting reading and she’s done a bit of writing that I am reading. Everytime I go to Blogger I click on one of the recently updated blogs and have a read. It’s sort of fun reading a random selection of someone’s life. Which I suppose is the attraction of the service.
Went to see my GP the other day to get some moles looked at. Fucking smug little prick asked me to take off my shirt, looked for about a minute at my back and chest and then said “You look fine.” I was like “Oh yeah? In a minute you can tell if I don’t have any skin cancers?” So time to find a new GP and consider if I do have any skin cancers whether I sue the other one for every penny he’s got. Not likely I admit – litigation is such an American concept. Australian courts just don’t grant the same level of damages as American ones. Overall still have the skin thing hanging over me until I can find a more receptive GP.
Lu and my sister are going roller skating tonight at what must be one of the last rolling skating rinks left in Sydney. Unlike bowling alleys, that seemingly lurk in the deep dark Western suburbs forever, rolling skating rinks are more like ‘drive in’ cinemas and are getting fewer and fewer in number. I think there’s one ‘drive in’ left in Sydney. I wonder if anyone in 1970 considered that they’d all be gone in thirty years. I wonder if some kind of video-on-demand service via cable or the like will kill video stores and potentially cinemas. I are fairly sure video stores are dead if video-on-demand comes out. If it’s a comparable price then no one will want to go out and hope the video they want is in when they can just order the same from a menu in the comfort of their own home. I am not so sure about cinemas but I’m prejudiced against them. I like the larger screen and a good sound system but overall I don’t like the cinema. It’s expensive (especially the bloody crap food) and I hate crowds with a passion most people reserve for spinach and Ricky Martin. So I’m not fussed if I can order a ‘new’ film via a decent home theatre system rather than go to the cinema. I suppose it is a bit of a expedition for some families to go to the cinema but you just end up seeing some terrible kids movie, though they seem to getting better at making movies on multiple levels so kids and adults can enjoy them, Shrek and Monsters Inc for example.
Enough for the day… Adios.
