Back to work...

Yes i know all good things must come to an end.  I start back at Bundaberg Brewed Drinks tomorrow morning at 8am sharp.  Some people are asking me "how are you going to get up that early?" and "how are you going to last the day?".  I'm tough people, deal with it!  :-) 

Europe 2007 DVD - Beta 1

After an agonising 5 hours that i will never get back I have one version of the Europe Photos DVD completed.  Still figuring out all the options in iLife '08 but i god attempt none the less.  Even found out how to put in Easter Eggs.  Great for all those "iffy" photos from contiki that you weren't sure that everyone should see.  :-)  99.9% complete and i'm sure the final 0.1% will take a couple of weeks at least.  ETA on the Europe Movie DVD?  Maybe by this christmas release....

How many Photos?

Not as many as i thought but more then some small countries...  I've taken the day to start sorting through all the digital photos i have ever taken with my three (actually i think it is 4) digital video cameras over the past 5 years.  There are some shockers.  It seams that most of you understand the "self portrait" technique but i don't think that i really blossomed with it until 2005.  I don't know how many dvd's i am going to have to use to store all of these once they have been sorted but i can't wait until they bring out a 300 gig DVD.

  

ROCKtober

Last weekend saw a unique event that i was grateful to be invited to "Rocktober".  Pretty much my brother has about 6 mates who have birthdays around the same time so they hire out a couple of penthouses in Brisbane city and they have a great huge party.  Theme of the night was formal so it was a chance to suit up once again and everyone looked pretty smart (even Troy in his Kermit suit).  So thanks to Doibs, Franger, Troy, Cara, Megan & Fast Ben for a great time and i hope there aren't too many incriminating photos on facebook.  Laters...

  

New Movies

Alright guys i have found two top flicks coming out soon.

The Southland Tales - Now if you can just get past the fact that this movie stars The Rock and Sean William Scott this looks like a pretty good movie. For the full review see the link.

The Nines - Looks like a cross between the matrix and that movie with John Cusack where he plays a personality in someones mind. Got to love a movie with Ryan Reynolds, Plus this is from the writer of Go and Big Fish.

The Cummins Wedding

Well Luke and Hayley finally tied the knott at a lovely beach ceremony at Bargara on saturday afternoon. After the fierce storm that we had the night before the weather on saturday was an absolute dream. Blue skies and not a cloud in sight. About 120 people attended the wedding and reception at Bargara Gold Course.

  

I'm Back

Europe was great but happy to be home. In the coming weeks i will post exactly what happened during the past 6 weeks but right now i need to get sleeping proper again. It's 3am bundy time and i'm wide awake. Oh well.

Changes to the blog as you will see i have changed it to www.thereallukebarnard.blogspot.com something different.

Almost all the photos are up on facebook right now but you can't see them unless you are a member and are one of my friends. Nothing too incriminating up there right now (and there isn't likely to be in the future either) but it does give everyone an idea of what wet on.

So i'll try to sort some things out (while looking for work) and get back to you guys.
