Pre Long Weekend + Good Friday (without Religion)

So I am like a lot of Australians who are not religious and basically love Easter for the shear fact we have four days off and the world (or Sydney) slows down a bit for the four day Easter Egg feast.

So here is what I have done and dusted since 5pm knock off time at an institute plagued by strike action all week, seriously co workers work a three hour shift at Denny's in the USA for minimum wage.

So after work it's dinnertime so in fine dining style Slide on Sydney's Oxford Street threw on a great bash that they are rolling out on selected Thursday's called The Gin Mill Social.  What a great little event, great food, great company (thanks Mel & Matty) and some nice music.

If you like the Roaring 20's you will love this event and if you like ace food then this is totally for you, so give it a crack, the next Gin Mill Social is Thursday 18th April 2013.

After a slight rest it was time for a refreshing run (after stuffing my face last night and boot camp being cancelled today) in and around Sydney Uni, with a touch of autumn in the air this was totally a nice and ace way to bring in the Long Weekend.

After running finding a rotten banana (thanks Coles your fresh food really is starting to suck giant big Tony Abbott balls) and enjoying my fresh budget home made coffee of the day I enjoyed the well produced, researched and presented second episode of "The Checkout" what a great little hybrid between The Chase & Hungary Beast.

After smashing some home made pancakes it was time for some childhood fun, Gi-Joe: Retaliation the sequel to the original Gi-Joe film. It was a big improvement and cast really well, the Rock really is coming into his own and Bruce Willis what an action icon, so here is my mini Easter film review:

Whats on at the Movies 2013 {Easter Style} - Gi-Joe: Retaliation

First up so many spunks in this film, the Rock was looking fine, I don't really dig Channing much but I know a lot do, Lee Byung-hun as Storm Shadow (mostly shirtless) was drop dead delicious & D.J Cotrona where have you been all my life.

So enough about the talent, here is the trailer for anyone interested:



The action sequences in this film were first class, mainly between Snake Eyes and Storm Shadow and newcomer Jinx. The film just worked so much more than the original. The only lacking thing was no Joesph Gordon Levitt as Cobra Commander.

Will a third Gi-Joe film rise up, one can only hope!

So for my review rating 3.5 Stars for this fine action film and something tells me I might catch another ace Bruce Willis action film this long weekend.

So in conclusion thank god (or not) for the long weekend how blissful and productive can four days off be. It's so chilled, washing done, house relatively clean and now it's time to plan my new BLOG, Flashing off the Record it's coming Monday and you can bookmark it NOW!

So if it's fish your eating today or just chilling at home, on a road trip or taking advantage of the movies being off and so many fine films on at present (Gi-Joe really is a top pick) or you just could be excited to watch Game of Thrones season 3 this weekend.



Yes HBO's EPIC blockbuster is back for a third season, Cray Cray!

Anyway tune in over the weekend for a new chart, lot's of lolz and fun times ahead.

Drive safe and eat shitloads of Easter eggs and Hot Cross buns, it's Easter Y'all!
