Horoscope:
A cosmic influence is at work, but you can easily ignore it. If you want to avoid this helpful influence, just respond to everything in your world that seems big, extreme or urgent. Before you know it you'll be too busy to notice anything else. But if you stnad back and ask why it's really so important to be here, go there, to do this and deal with that, you should make and interesting discovery: it isn't. There is an easier (but less obvious) way to proceed. It involves having a little faith in the idea that the right things in life will naturally make their way to you. (Jonathan Cainer)

6TH JULY: I BOUGHT A GRAPEFRUIT
I am half way through a 2 day binge that I am regretting as I feel extremely bloated, however I will not get down on myself. Tomorrow I will start my morning with a grapefruit. Yes, fruit is part of my diet. It is difficult for me to bring myself to eat fruit as there are very few that I like. I like passionfruit, bananas on toast, Granny Smith apples, tomatoes, and, I think that is about it. I don’t think that I have ever tried grapefruit, hence the reason that I bought it. I know that I hate Kiwi fruit, pears, oranges and most citrus fruit. I can tolerate mandarins in very small doses. I prefer vegetables. I will eat almost any vegetable, especially salad vegetables, corn, capsicum. I am not that fond of potatoes.
The truth of it is that I am really a wheat and carb laden food lover. Give me bread, pasta, rice and I am a happy camper. Add a bit of flavouring and all is great. One of my favourite foods is bread toasted over and open fire while camping, add the smallest amount of butter and some sliced cheese and tomato. Hmmm, I really want to go camping now.
I wasn’t going to come here and prattle on about food, but that is where it ended up. I think that I was going to talk about the film that watched this morning (and returned on time because I HAVE A STROLLER!). It was the terribly low budget, run of the mill Cubbyhouse, which I really enjoyed. This comment at IMDb sums it up perfectly, and the main reasons that I like it:
I didn't expect much seeing as how even the rental box looked somewhat cheesy. Here it's called 'Hellion: The Devil's Playground' how spooky, too bad it didn't live up to it's title. I didn't like any of the characters, well, except Danny, he was the only one who didn't annoy me. I found myself laughing at situations instead of being scared. The deaths, special effects and even acting is incredibly lame. This plot has been done many times before, and more creatively at that. I didn't feel sorry for the characters dying at all, only thing I regret is paying 3 dollars too much for this video. I wouldn't recommend it unless you like low-budget, unoriginal horrors.
My point? I like low budget, cheesy horror movies so that I can have a bit of a laugh. What did I like most about it? IT WAS AUSTRALIAN! What a pleasant surprise, except the whole US family thing.
I am very patriotic, in a manner. However not blindly and I would never rule out the possibility of moving to Europe sometime in the future. However, given that, I really love Victoria, I love the countryside. Hire Til Human Voices Wake Us and you will see what it is that I love. It is especially poignant in that film given that it was filmed around Castlemaine, the next town over. The bush in that film is my bush, my countryside, places that I may have been, may go and love. I love the Australian feel.
I remember once when I was in Hungary and we were watching the tennis. Without a clue of where it was being played, to the trained eye it was obviously Australian. How could I tell that? The sun shines brighter here, literally.
I do hate the government though. When the next election comes along I don’t want to vote for any of the candidates. I despise the way that our government went into war when the majority of people were opposed. However Howard is brown-nosing it with US President What’s His Face. What he says, Howard does. At the time f the US invasion of Iraq there were mass protest across Australia, yet Howard deemed them as part of a minority group. I don’t recall meeting or hearing more than 2 people who were all for the invasion.
I will stop this here and start again later because it is not coherent and I really do have a good point.
My point, Australia is a beautiful country, specifically Victoria (I would never live in any other state). Cheers.
