The Muppets do Gangsta Rap

The current (and by all accounts last ) series of the Sopranos is a 'kin must see. Channel 9 are screening it in the high profile spot of midnight Mondays, guaranteeing a massive audience. Hey, at least you can see a truly amazing array of phone "chat" ads.

I remember first seeing James Gandolfini in True Romance, beating the bejesus out of Patricia Arquette (well before she got psychic and would have been able to avoid the whole ugly incident). His Tony Soprano has got to be just about the best lead character in a drama ever. Now I know this sounds like hyperbole, but even the only guy that could give him a run for his money, Dr Terrence of A Country Practice, would lower the stethoscope for Tony.

Enjoy, and have a canoli for me.

The Carnival is Over

Took this photo on the weekend. Your mushroom heater, mainstay of outside dining everywhere gets quite a look when tired.
This one reminds me of a trio at the races. Late in the day, with many a champers downed. Sure the daily double didn't pay, and the hats may have blown off more than once, but still hanging on to that touch of glamnour.

Anyway, back to burnouts, sneakers and bad videos tomorrow!

Tiffs Tricks are Tops

Jurassic4Life

Spent a sun filled afternoon at Mt Tomah Botanic gardens on the weekend with Mrs Carthology.
It really does tick all the boxes: Fast (semi) copper free twisty roads to get there, quality luncheon opportunities and mackin' plants. Part of ourt visit was to show solidarity to those dinosaur brothers behind bars as shown above. It is now over 6 years since they have been caged heat.
The colour changes and the now 5m plus size of these Wollemi wonders is super impressive. They have been planted on the Gondwana walk, which is very well done and gives you that cool climate feel. Check it out, if even just to snigger at the bog garden.
