Lizards Alive!
12.30.07 (9:32 pm)   [edit]

 

We found these two around about Christmas Eve (or maybe that's just when I uploaded them). 

I found this one, which was about six inches long:

Isn't he cute?  He's rather well camouflaged there, isn't he?

My son found this little fellow:

He was smaller, & he's posing on my son's arm there.

 
Painting: "Shoe Divas"

This mixed media on canvas painting, "Shoe Divas" is currently exhibited in the local "Art Shoes" exhibition, which accompanies the travelling Queensland Arts Council exhibition of the same name:

Ewan McGregor and Katie Melua
12.08.07 (5:08 pm)   [edit]

 

Today I watched the movie "Miss Potter", starring Renee Zellwegger & Ewan McGregor.  It was sweet and sad.

After that in the Special Features (on the DVD) I watched Katie Melua sing "When You Taught Me How To Dance".  It's beautiful, especially when she sings the "cold winds blow" section, which gives a hint of her voice's strength & capability.  Katie Melua's eyes are a gorgeous light brown, & she has beautiful white teeth.  That's the first time I've seen & heard Katie Melua.

Speaking of Ewan McGregor, I've been lucky enough to catch a couple of episodes of "Long Way Round", his 115 day tour across Europe on motorbikes with a mate.  Ewan's quite dishy.  :-D

Last night I watched Idiocracy, starring Luke Wilson.  It was interesting to see the portrayal of the US after 500 years of the unintelligent breeding like rabbits while the intelligent keep putting parenthood off for seemingly valid (?) reasons.  While watching the movie I kept thinking "but this is already happening".  You'll understand what I mean when you see it.

 
Baby Praying Mantis
