tv stuff continued

Well the first episode of Chartbusting 80s for 2005 was held last Thursday. Keeping levels under control is going to be a task due to the dynamic nature of the hosts. I think a brick-wall limiter will be in order.
My sister Imogen is getting settled in Austria and is maintaining a blog here ( I certainly didn't encourage the loud colour scheme!).
I recently acquired a copy of Tim Winton's latest offering The Turning and it really is magnificent. All the atmosphere, regret, longing, despair and characters you never quite met in Dirt Music turn up in the pages of these seventeen interwoven short stories. Highly recommended.
Also worth seeing is the film Hotel Rwanda. Probably not a masterpiece and not quite as compelling an African epic as, say, Cry Freedom, but highly worthwhile. Should we feel guilty at the west's lack of interest/intervention in the events of the mid-90s in Rwanda? Quite possibly.
Village Cinemas have $5 Tuesdays at the moment so I might go and get a few movies in.
