That's what I'm talking about

One of the goals on my list is to throw a paper plane off the observation deck of a tall building (number 36). This video wasn't me but it ties in nicely :D

How boring must that game at Wembley have been for this to get such a response from the crowd. And to the guy who did it, well done :D

Another birthday means another year closer to the end of this blog

Yes, my next birthday is just over a month away which means everyone is asking me what presents I would like. Sigh. So in order to make everyones life just a little bit easier, here is my birthday wish list.
 

Empire Strikes Back film cell
What is a film cell, I hear you say. It is a single frame of film from a movie - there are 24 frames a second which means a 90 minute film has a gazillion frames (give or take twice the square of the imaginary number i). While I don't mind if it is from a 35mm print or a 70mm print, I am specifically after the above image, namely of Han and Leia watching Luke in the bacta tank... yes, I am a nerd! Apparently this very frame was sold on eBay a few years back (before I was looking for it) and I haven't been able to track it down anywhere. It may exist as part of the 70mm film cell collection or in the Jedi Legacy trading card film cell inserts but I haven't stumbled across it when I have looked on eBay... it could be sitting in that great comic book store in Salem for all I know!
 

Star Wars Storyboards - The Original Trilogy
I said I was a nerd. This book is just about available through any decent bookstore (do any of those still exist?) and is something I wouldn't mind. I won't be all "awesome - its just what I always wanted" but I will be all "cool". Yeah, not really selling this choice am I?
 

4th Doctor's Scarf
Time to change to a different nerd universe - this is something that I have thought about for a while, changing opinion regularly on if it was something I actually wanted to own. As I type this, the answer is yes. While there is an official replica scarf that can be purchased, I am unsure how good it is. I have a friend who is herself a witty little knitter, perhaps she might throw her talents this way...
 

Sonic Screwdrivers
Thanks to my wife for getting me hooked on this one. I never seriously considered collecting these until she bought me Matt Smith's one and I was amazingly blown away by how cool it was to hold it - now I have to get the rest of them :)

Plus don't forget that there are ideas on my Christmas Wish List from a few years ago.

I hope that has helped :)

It's been awhile

Part of me can't believe how long it has been since I last posted on this blog. Then I remember that I have a toddler that I didn't have when I started this blog and suddenly it make sense. A part of not blogging anything for so long is that I haven't crossed anything off this list. Well, now I have. I have become a serious adult and have got a financial adviser who has sorted out my superannuation... I now only have 3 different super accounts... which isn't all that super really... but the important thing is I no longer have 13 different ones. Next serious adult thing to do is to sort out our wills...
