Eventful Day

Justyn — Sun, 19 Apr 2009 11:18:20 +0000

Last night the boys friend Jayden stayed over. They had fun watching movies and playing the Playstation 2, they stayed up until midnight!

Today Chell and I took all the kids to Bowen for the day to swim and have fun, it was great. We stopped off at Ayr where the big rainbow serpent is and got photos of the kids.

We went swimming at the beach for about 2 hours, the kids had a blast. It was so much fun spending time with the kids. There was lots and lots of laughs and giggles. We stopped off and got pies, sausage rolls, chicko rolls and drinks for the drive back home.

After getting the kids fed, cleaned and off to bed I cooked Chell and I a delicious beef and black bean stir-fry. I think it’s the best I’ve cooked yet. It tasted even more delicious than from a chinese shop!

Chell and I are now going to watch a movie, then off to sleep as I have to work in the morning. Only two more days of work and then I have a week off, good times!

Movie: Next

Justyn — Sat, 09 Aug 2008 21:44:44 +0000

The other day Chell and I watched a movie called Next. It stars Nicolas Cage and Jessica Biel.

The movie is about a man that can see into the future, but the catch is that he can only see his future, it involves action, murder, suspense. The plot on IMDB states:

Las Vegas showroom magician Cris Johnson has a secret which torments him: he can see a few minutes into the future. Sick of the examinations he underwent as a child and the interest of the government and medical establishment in his power, he lies low under an assumed name in Vegas, performing cheap tricks and living off small-time gambling “winnings.” But when a terrorist group threatens to detonate a nuclear device in Los Angeles, government agent Callie Ferris must use all her wiles to capture Cris and convince him to help her stop the cataclysm.

I would recommend you see this movie, and I would give it 4/5 stars. If you have seen this movie, let me know what you thought.

The Dark Knight

Justyn — Sun, 27 Jul 2008 20:49:19 +0000

On Saturday evening, Chell, me and the boys decided to watch The Dark Knight. Matt got almost half way through it, but fell asleep so he went off to bed. Chell watched 3/4′s of it, and got bored of it.

I watched the whole movie with Jacob, but I must say that it isn’t as good as what it is made out to be, sure Heath Ledger played a great role as The Joker, but the movie itself went nowhere.

Throughout the movie it’s the same “Batman must catch The Joker”, and you get to see Two Face again, but he dies in the end (sorry if I spoiled it). But the whole story line is indeed quite boring, some of the action is good, but that would be all.

I think if I had to rate the movie, I would give it 2.5/5 stars. If you have seen it, tell me what you thought.

Dinner and movie

Justyn — Sun, 06 Jul 2008 11:14:34 +0000

After work today Chell and I went out to dinner and see a movie, it was such a great night. We don’t go out very often, so it was nice to spend some quality time with Chell.

We went to Hog’s Breath for dinner, that place has the nicest steak I have ever eaten. Afterwards we went and saw the new Will Smith movie, Hancock.

The movie was great, it’s about a superhero who the public hates because he creates so much destruction trying to help people, and he has such a short temper.

He ends up trying to turn his life around and become the superhero everyone loves. The movie was jam packed with action, and has a few twists and turns throughout. It is a great movie and I would recommend seeing it.

Sickness, Movies, Rest

Justyn — Wed, 11 Jun 2008 00:19:51 +0000

I started getting sick on Sunday, which was quite bad. I couldn’t sleep properly, coughing all the time, nausea e.t.c. It has worked in my favour though, as I am still sick, I have pretty much quit smoking which is good.

I have Tue/Wed off work, so Chell and I decided to hire some movies and be lazy / let me rest for the two days which has been great.

I was feeling a bit better yesterday, so Chell and I decided to get some prawns for dinner, and we got some garlic and made garlic prawns for dinner, they were delicious.

We dropped the magna off at the mechanic’s this morning to get the brakes done on it, so hopefully they will be all fixed. We then bought some doritos for snacks to night for when we watch the state of origin, c’mon maroons!

That’s all for now, I hope I feel better by tomorrow, this is four days now I’ve felt like crap!

Update: I awoke this morning, feeling a lot better, which is great. My throat is still a little sore. The might maroon’s dominated the field last night, winning state of origin II, the end result – QLD: 30, NSW: 0. Now all we have to do is win the 3rd and final game in 3 weeks, I know we can do it!

What Happens in Vegas…

Justyn — Sat, 10 May 2008 22:48:56 +0000

Chell and I went to see the new Ashton Kutcher and Cameron Diaz movie, What Happens in Vegas. It was quite a good movie, with lots of laughs. It reminded of Ashton’s other movie he did, with Brittany Murphy, Just Married.

Here is the plot of What Happens in Vegas, taken from IMDb.

Set in Sin City, story revolves around two people who discover they’ve gotten married following a night of debauchery, with one of them winning a huge jackpot after playing the other’s quarter. Unhappy pair try to undermine each other and get their hands on the money — falling in love along the way.

So I guess you could call it one of those sappy, romantic comedies, but I would recommend seeing it, it’s quite funny from the get-go.

Movies

Justyn — Mon, 18 Feb 2008 22:07:05 +0000

Rachelle and I have watched quite a few movies lately. We have watched the first 5 episodes of Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles, so thought it would be good to watch The Terminator, Terminator 2: Judgement Day and Terminator 3: Rise of The Machines so we could see how the new TV series fits in with the movies, which was quite interesting. I wonder what Terminator Salvation: The Future Begins will be like, it wont be released until next year, but it looks like Skynet has won the war acording to the write up.

We have also watched SuperBad, which was quite hilarious, I would recommend this movie to friends, the things that happens in the movie is great, it’s one of those movies where you laugh every 5 minutes or so. Then on Sunday night we watched Knocked Up, it was quite a good movie too, it shows how much a person can change when they really need to, and how they deal with life and what is given to them.

That’s all for now, work has been crazy, can’t wait until an RDO!

What a day

Justyn — Sat, 09 Feb 2008 09:25:05 +0000

This morning started with the girls sneaking out of their room, and into ours to wake us up at about 6:30am, which was naughty. We then did the usual, breakfast, getting the kids dressed etc. We then took the kids and Cassie to Pallarenda to go for a swim, they enjoyed it and Rachelle and Jacob collected some seashells while Matt and I played frisbee. The girls ran around the beach crazily and Cassie went swimming.

After that we came home and started making a wind chime with all the seashells we collected, it’s going great, I will take a photo once it’s completed. We then just played around with the kids all afternoon, and had a sleep whilst the girls did. Rachelle showered the girls while I was cooking dinner, it worked out great. I cooked a nice steak for us, some vegetables and mashed potato, Jacob had sausages instead.

The girls are in bed now, and the boys are watching 102 dalmations on TV. Rachelle and I are about to have some ice cream and watch SuperBad. We are going to take the kids for a picnic tomorrow with one of Rachelle’s friends and her kids, should be fun. I will try get a lot of photo’s and put them up in the gallery. Stay tuned.

Our adult adventure

Justyn — Mon, 14 Jan 2008 01:07:37 +0000

Rachelle and I set off the other day to find some decent adult movies and toys. We checked out a couple of places but their prices / varieties weren’t really that good, so we were about to give up when we decided to give one more place a go. We ended up getting a Private DVD, and you got two free movies of your choice, what a bargain!

We ended up watching the movies which were quite good, and had a bit of fun whilst watching them

There is a huge Alien figurine that was guarding one of the adult shops.

Movies, Work

Justyn — Sat, 12 Jan 2008 21:39:24 +0000

Rachelle and I watched all three Lord of The Rings the other week, it was agony at first for me, but I eventually got used to the whole fantasy thing. The movies weren’t too bad, the special effects were great, it’s just a pity the movies go for about 3 hours.

Work has been quite hectic the past couple of days, why I don’t know as there hasn’t been any outages or anything, it’s strange. I will be getting paid on Tue/Wed which will be awesome, my first pay under a Telstra contract, I should get quite a bit of moolah
