Feeding the dog

Images_38Picture the scene; three men hold a beaten up old dude who's glaring at the leader of their pack, a witch Doctor he's been hunting. The doctor sniffs, then opens his mouth to challenge his captive...

"There are two dogs fighting within you, one is good, one is evil. Which one will win?"

The bedraggled man lifts his head and meets his eye and with a mixture of resignation and determination replies...

"Which ever one I feed."

Mid-Life Crisis

944_n_dadIt has finally happened, my Father has finally cracked. He emailed me today to introduce me to the newest member of the Trundle familly; his growing midlife crisis aka his new red Porshe. He has been found standing at the front door druelling and purring. Next will be the pierced ear, the leather jacket and the Lovejoyesque mullet. It's a slippery slope! xc

My Brother the Legend

Adam_uplit2When people first encounter the Trundle family most are dazzled by Dad's Superhero presence, Lisa's frenetic energy or Mum's donkey laugh. But once you get past each of these unique but quite upfront gems, once you scratch beneath the surface and become more than a passing friend, you earn the right to discover one of our best assets; my little/big brother and his dry wit...

Vamping it up

Images_37Sometimes, when faced with a barage of deep films, all I want to see is the 'so-bad-it's-good' film that everyone secretly wishes they could admit they're interested in. Films of this ilk would include Con Air (dreadful film but I absolutely love it!), The Fast and The Furious (similar sentiment) and last night's offering Underworld Evolution...

The Outlaws

Dead_irishYesterday was the long anticipated meeting of the families.  After Dad's spooky impression of Robert Deniro in Meet the Parents I was praying this wasn't going to be a disaster riddled, blundering, cringe inducing sequel as our two worlds colided and the people we love most in the world meet for the first time...

Happy Birthday Handsome

Birthday_boyI have a very unique and very loved fiance. Despite his aversion to forward planning 21 people gathered at the dragon restaurant last night to celebrate his 30th Birthday. Lots of laughter, some innapropriate advances from Steve's boss and too much food were had by all. As we shared a mushy moment later in the evening I marvelled at how much had changed in a year. Last Birthday my sister had stood mezmorised at my slightly odd friend's handle bar tash, now he's my slightly odd fiance and I'm planning the rest of my life with him. Happy days. Happy Birthday Handsome xc

LOST is found and other keyboard stories

Images_36In the last 24 hours I have rediscovered the wonder that is 'Shuffle'. Mostly motivated by lazyness I've been listening to my iPod on shuffle and discovering the reems and reems of musical goodness that I'd forgotten was on there...

The force is strong with me

CENSORED! Ew - note to self look more closely at pics

I have been rejected by the nerd community! But never by Star Wars...

I love those random lunchtime quizzes that bring such joy and amusement! Which Star Wars character are you? xc http://www.liquidgeneration.com/content/a55hat.aspx?cid=1415

Taking myself to task

_40001902_joggingapSelf knowledge is a double edged sword. The positive is if you know yourself hopefully you can work your skills, strengths and weaknesses to their best, the negative is you're fully aware of when you're being a total loser...
