Music of the Night

Occasionally I find myself utterly unable to sleep at night. No matter how much I toss and turn, my eyes refuse to shut. So I hop onto the net and surf to the dark recesses of the internet. And I have struck gold! Gold my friends! Well, at least to me. Infinitas is an Australian bookshop, specialising in 'sci-fi, fantasy, horror, speculative fiction, roleplaying gaming, popular science and other books, artwork, games and figurines'. Say goodbye to the boring month of February because now I know where to spend some cash. I already have my eye on some Neal Asher and Robin Hobb. Now, if only I could find a casual job for some more cash...

I know Charles knows of a prospective job at his workplace, but until I get my uni timetable I can't commit to anything. Damn USyd! Give us our timetables already! UNSW students have their timetables, what about us?

Has anyone seen a tv series called Black Books. It's hella awesome. It's some comedy gold. Do note that it does clever wordplay and some surreal situations, so if you're more into slapstick or Jackass antics, it's not really for you. But watch it anyway. Since it rules so much. So hard to find some decent comedy sometimes. Ever since The Sketch Show was taken off air, the standard hasn't been high.

I ran across this trailer for The Phantom of the Opera, a 2004 remake of the musical, which is based on the book. The trailer looks hella mad and since I haven't really watched or know much about it, I'm trying to get my hands on it. And the music is quite good as well. Oh, and on that subject, someone made a 'Vader of the Opera' on Youtube. Obviously, this person(s) have too much time on their hands. A link is at the end.

And on a random note, you know that commercial for Maccleans Lemon Mint toothpaste? What about other flavours? Like chocolate? Or sweet chilli? It will make brushing your teeth fun. Holy crap...I think I'm onto a winner of an idea here...
