So this is news

Well whats news people?
Well to keep you informed in whats going on in sports and entertainment news, i will fill you in.
Queensland won the second state of origin, YESSSSS! and now we head to Melbourne for the final. Next Wednesday!! get on bored kids.
Also if you have been living under a rock, and lets hope its a nice one, Australia has been bundled out of the world cup. BOOO, due to a very dubious penalty in the box. Apparently the Italians have a strong national diving team...Damn Italians, oh well, hopefully we will be there in four more years.

Also Christine and i have scored tickets to two great shows, The Strokes and The Yeah Yeah Yeahs.. "clap your hands and say yeah!!" We are also heading up to Brisbane for Kendalls 30th at the end of july, making the following month full of fun and games. Good times.....good times.
hopefully everyone is playing safe and having a goodtime wherever they are. Until next time i will see you next time!! ..... is it a little weird that i felt the need to take a photo of my tickets????

Yes, we're still here!!



Hey guys long time no talky talky. The thing is, we haven't done a whole lot. We have just been chillin out in crows nest doing our own thing. This is exciting stuff, which entails Christine working at least one day of the weekend and me, watching footy or playing tennis on the playstation. Active mind, not so active body.
Although there hasn't been anything major happening outside our place, we have a new member to the house..... the long sought after COUCH!! We had one bought and delivered only to find out it didn't fit in!! spewin, so the delivery guys had to carry it up four flights and then back down again.. he he he.. Needless to say Christine is over the moon with NO MORE BEAN BAGS!!Although, the room does look a lot smaller. Anyone who has any spare room, send it on over please!!
Other events of the past month has been the State of Origin. This is a best of three series played in the middle of our rugby league season. It sees the rival states of Queensland and New South Wales go head to head. It usually entails massive tackles and at least one fist to cuffs, all in brawl! Glynis sent down Christine's birthday present, which just happened to be a Queensland State of Origin jersey!! There was also one for me. The sad story is that we lost, by one friggin point!! with like one minute left. We staged a massive comeback only to be pipped by the New South Welshmen, although I live in NSW and now, by law, have a NSW drviers liscense, I still don't like to lose to them. sniffle sniffle, there are still two games left. SO get on your couch(making sure christine isn't in the room) and yell QUEENSLANDER!! QUEENSLANDER!!


As exciting as that was we still weren't done with the blood pumpin. Christine bought a new pair of shoes, it seems thats all she does!! Here is a piccy, apparently these are the shoes Lisa wanted so Christine just bought them out of spite. she told me she doesn't even like em'!! NOO thats not true Lisa!!!


Just one final note, your faithful author, me, Stuart,.. now has regular employment.. YAY!! Working at The Athletes Foot, which is like athletes world for you Canucks. I do love shoes, not so much feet, but the shoes!! well i have to now, i've come to far to go back, so wish me luck.

Soo that is about it really, not much happening, it been really cold and wet and just yuk. But hopefully we will get out and do a little more to show you guys. PEACE OUT!!!
