Living The Glugster Life…..

We finally submitted to the hype this weekend and went to watch Avatar 3D on Saturday evening. This being both myself, Angel and Damien’s first time in a 3D cinema, we were all looking forward to the experience.

And we were not dissapointed. I quite enjoyed the 3D effects even though I did find my eyes tiring after a while. It is after all quite a long movie.

On the movie itself? I quite enjoyed it. As have been mentioned numerous times by other people, there was not much to the story line. The special effects and overall quality of the move was spectacular though. If you go with too high an expectation you’ll probably not enjoy the movie much. But for a good fun to watch movie, Avatar is perfect.

Angel absolutely loved it. She was sitting on the edge of her seat most of the time. Not sure though whether that was due to the 3D or the movie itself. LOL

Overall, I found the movie enjoyable to watch and can recommend it to any one. Not sure though if it will be the same in 2D.

So, here we are. 2010 in full swing. The time to train the mind to write 2010 in stead of 2009.

I’m back at work for the first time this year. It started relatively well until I realised I had forgotton my laptop power cable at home. At least I was able to make myself some lunch when I went home to pick it up. Oh, true to South African form, I was stuck in my first traffic jam going to work this morning. If there is anything that will bring me back to the reality that I’m back in South Africa, then a traffic jam is it.

Back in South Africa you say? Yes, for those of you who didn’t know, Angel and I spent 2 weeks in Australia, in a little town called Cooma. It was great fun, but only getting back Saturday afternoon makes me a tad sleepy today. In any case, Angel will most probably definitely be posting about our trip, so I will not bore you with details on this here blog. You’ll just have to wait until she starts churning out those posts. There are some pictures on Facebook already (only 200) so if you are friends with Angel, you can have a look over there.

When we got home on Saturday only half the house was a disaster (the half we didn’t lock before we left), so Sunday morning was spent spring cleaning (especially the kitchen), as the maid did not turn up for work on Saturday as she was supposed to. This means she did not clean the tornado named Damien, that had swept through the house, before we got home. At least nothing was broken.

I must say, there nothing quite like getting back in your own bed after being away for some time. I really did miss my bed. I’ll be telling it again tonight!

So, that’s all from me right now, in terms of a quick update.

Happy 2010!

So, we are inching ever closer the the magical number 2010. Hearing 2010 always makes me think of the Arthur C Clark books. Unfortunately we are not even close to being advanced enough to travel into space as described in the books. However I digress.

2009 was a tough year for most South Africans, mainly due to the recession we found ourselves in. And, yes, we did go through a recession, and no, despite all the articles in business news papers, it is still the recession for most normal folk out there.  For a lot of people it also was very rewarding, especially on the relationship front (I won’t mention names).

So, now if I were to follow the usual trend, I should be listing my goals and resolutions for the new year. I should then compare it to last year and see how much I achieved, etc.

Just one problem. I didn’t have any new year’s resolutions last year, and I’m not planning on making any this year. To me it’s just a wast of time. Why wait for the year to end in any case to make plans and set goals. So basically, what I’m trying to say, is if you want to know what my resolutions are, you have come to the wrong place. Sorry.

Moving on…….

In  three days time, I’ll be squeezing myself into an aeroplane seat with my Angel next to me and head off to Australia. We are going to a little town call Cooma, which is……well…….in Australia. This will be Angel’s first time travelling abroad, so the nerves are getting to her a bit. But everything will be fine. At least they sort of speak English in Australia, as opposed to the time I flew to Miami, and all they spoke there were Spanish.

We are basically set for the trip. All we have to do is pack. Not looking forward to the 14/15 hour flight though. At least we are flying direct.

Christmas Eve will be spent with my parents, and Christmas day with Angel’s family. Boxing day will be spent at the airport! LOL

So, until next year. I will obviously not do a big post about our trip. I also won’t be posting a lot of pictures. I’ll leave all of that to Angel.
