| Let’s go fly a kite | March 3, 2012 | A couple of weekends ago I made the trek to Brisbane to see Mary Poppins. Not in person obviously. She’s a fictional character. Rather, this was the musical. Much lauded. Much praised. I had been told by many people that I would “love” it. So I was looking forward to seeing it but I was […] |
| I’m betting on the Dickens | February 4, 2012 | We waved goodbye to January and welcomed in what I think is the worst month of the year – February. Why so bad? It’s stinky hot here in sub-tropical Queensland and it’s too short. Suddenly I seem to be running out of time on everything. This year it was made worse by having to go […] |
| Thinking about the Muppets | January 24, 2012 | On Sunday I went to see The Muppets. Being a Generation X child who was six years old in 1979 when the first film was released I had high expectations. I had been following the stream of trailers leading up to the film’s official release. I had been sad when I realised it would be […] |

| What should I read first? | December 31, 2011 | Hooray for me! I made it to 100 posts in 2011. As I wrote yesterday I resolve to do much better in 2012. I mean look at the years before that. I must have done nothing else but blog. I blame twitter actually which has gradually taken a much bigger part in my online activity. […] |
| Once….. | December 27, 2011 | I missed a fair few good movies during the first decade of this century. It was a combination of being consumed by a PhD and living in a regional centre that isn’t great at getting the more independent releases. This is why I was very happy to see Once was on Monday night on one […] |

| tatty decorations, watermelon salad and marinated lamb | December 26, 2011 | Christmas this year was a quiet affair with just me, my parents, my sister and my 90 year old Grandmother. We skyped my brother and sister-in-law in Brisbane, and will see my uncle, aunt and cousin tomorrow. So the actual day was the smallest celebration for many years. It was also the first time in […] |

| Christmas Countdown day 25 | December 24, 2011 | One of my absolute favourite Rockwiz moments from a previous Christmas special. Last night’s Christmas special was excellent also. If you didn’t watch it I highly recommend you catch up with SBS on demand. Thus endeth Wendy’s Christmas Countdown for 2011. |
