1. What were some of the smells and tastes of your childhood?
Smells - sunscreen, for sure. Even now, as soon as I smell sunscreen I think of days on the beach as a kid.

2. What did you have as a child that you do not think children today have?
Decent cartoons on the tv!!!

3. What elementary grade was your favorite?
Probably 5th or 6th.

4. What summer do you remember the best as a child?
Ha. Probably the Chrissie holidays between 4th & 5th grade. I came down with chicken pox.

5. What one piece of advice would you give to your younger self, and at what age?
What other people think REALLY doesn’t matter (though I’m still trying to tell myself this one). And that would be at ANY age.

Nothing terribly new to report. My life is pretty boring at the moment. I’m still tossing up whether or not I should go to the second Michael Buble concert in Brisbane. There’s a ’situation’ there so… yeah. Decision needs to be made.

What 5 series/books/movies can you rewatch/reread time and again?

+ Twilight by Stephenie Meyer (sad, but true)
+ Stargate SG-1
+ LOTR: FOTR (technically ALL of the LOTR series, but especially FOTR)
+ The Dish
+ Stardust

To be honest, I can rewatch (time and again) most of the TV series that I own on DVD but the meme did only ask for 5 answers…

WATCH THE AWESOME

EXCUSE ME WHILE I GO DIE OF SQUEE NOW.

*HYPERVENTILATES*

1. Describe where you grew up:
Kingscliff. It’s a gorgeous little seaside town on the far north coast of NSW, just below the QLD/NSW border. I grew up in various houses in Kingscliff, usually either a (max) 5 min walk from the beach, or within view of it. Population was only about 5000 so it was nice and tiny - had a real country feel to it. Best place I can imagine for growing up.

2. Do you wear any jewelery?
Sleepers (earrings) as I usually forget to change them, and my watch. I just don’t do the jewellery thing.

3. What do you have too much of?
Ha. Geeky (electronic) toys. For sure. Off the top of my head: desktop PC, laptop, 3 TVs (one LCD widescreen), 3 DVD players, portable DVD player, iPod, stereo, iPAQ and god knows what else I’m forgetting.

4. Who is a fool?
Anyone who doesn’t keep an open mind.

5. What’s your nickname?
Sez or Sar - depends on the person who’s talking to me!

Alas, I never actually saw this on TV as I missed last week’s episode! But a friend was kind enough to fill me in.

Watch, laugh, and sing along!

We’re happy little vegemites…

Guillermo Del Toro is directing The Hobbit!!

That’s BOTH movies! (Yes, both) Also, am very impressed he went to TOR.n himself to post and confirm the news. More news about it on TOR.n here.

Next up, The Dark Knight.

New poster available!! OMG OMG.

HERE @ ComingSoon.net

Also, in more news about how awesome my birthday month will be. Not only do I get The Dark Knight a bit over a week before my birthday and The X-Files: I Want to Believe the day before… Stargate: Continuum is releasing July 29!

This July is going to kick some major ass.

Is this the place where I include an addendum to the effects of “There are some series (such as B5, TWW, and VM) where I was veeeeery close to seeing all eps”?

The new Admin screens are interesting. They may take a little getting used to (just where stuff is) but it looks like it’ll be more user friendly in the long run.

Nothing new to report - it’s been a very quiet weekend which isn’t a bad thing as I’ve been feeling a bit off. Hopefully it will pass before tomorrow when it’s back to work!

According to IMDB, The X-Files Sequel is currently set to be released 24 July 2008 in Australia.

*geekgasms*

I AM GOING TO HAVE THE GREATEST BIRTHDAY MOVIE EXPERIENCE.

So the question is… can I hold off on seeing TDK for a week (OMG) so I can do a geeky double whammy? Or do I say to hell with it, see it the weekend it releases then do a double whammy anyway?

HEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE.
