I don't know if this shows how sad and depraved I am, but I am just incredibly excited that I am able to watch Big Brother live on the web. I never go for these reality shows, but I have been hooked onto Big Brother from the start.
I know that the housemates have nominated Andy (yes, vote the exhibitionist Bimbo off) Gordon and Sara-Maree. Can't wait to vote.
Calrton won yesterday! We beat the Saints, and hopefully made Aaron Hammill regret leaving us for the big money at St Kilda. Go Blues.
Enough Sunday Morning rambles.

Another ANZAC Day is almost over. It is the day I feel the most patriotic. Bugger Australia Day, all that celebrates is European invasion of a country already inhabited.
There is something about listening to the bugler play The Last Post that gives me goose pimples and shivers quicker than all else. And saddens me as it reminds me of the futility of war. The waste of human life.
One day, I will get off my fat arse and go to the Dawn Service at the Shrine here in Melbourne. My travel dream is to attend the service in Gallipoli. To see for myself the steep, high, rocky cliffs that our soldiers faced as the landed on the shore under a barrage of enemy fire. To maybe understand why. Na, that will never happen.
"They shall grow not old
As we that are left grow old
Age shall not weary them
Nor the years condemn.
In the going down of the sun,
and in the morning,
We will Remember them."
Lest we forget.

I should either do this more often, or give it up completely. It's not like anyone is reading this anyway.
I never get a chance to read other people's blogs either. So do I give it up? Give it up and spend my time wondering how people can see Harry and Ginny together.
Been reading a Harry Potter fan fic piece, based around his wedding to Ginny Weasley. Now this seems to be a popular couple. Me, I just can't see it. This story though is actually about Ron and Hermione who split six years before, and see each other at Harry and Ginny's wedding. Oh, the intrigues of those witches and wizards!

Ok, I have reached that point. My eyes are sore, actually, they are starting to sting. But I MUST finish this one fanfic. I still have loads to catch up on, but need to finish this one tonight. Anyway, hope you guys are enjoying your Mondays. Mine turned out to be quite good!
Arrivederci e buona notte.

Reading your blogs, I just realised it's tax time for you guys. When is your financial year? Also, I have noticed some great web graphics out there. Actually, everyone's looks pretty darn good. I think I may be up for the long haul tonight. I am currently reloading AOL IM so I have to shut all the windows. Can't wait to get into chat!

I am slowly wading through all your blogs. I won't get a chance to comment, but if it's on my list, I will read it before I retire for the morning! But I will have to find some bloggy reading music to put on softly in the background. Not sure what yet.

I can't believe this place is still here!
I am still catching up on the lost files, bookmarks. Sigh. I hate dormant virus that only leave you with six or so crappy files and wipe everything including the stories you have written and (very stupidly) not saved anywhere else. Sigh. breathe in, breathe out.
I will not swear. Not here. If I don't swear, then I may get away with blogging at work, and save the reading for home. Everything we send and received goes through a filter, and all swear wirds get picked up by our administrator and we get a little talking to from our TCS co-ordinator. Sigh. Sometimes the Catholic School System is such a b.... . (There, I can do that, can't I?)
