As things heat up for the premier of Spider Man 3 on 4th May 2007, I thought it would be nice to have a look back at Spider Man 2, where he met his arch rival, Doc Ock.

The interesting thing about this video was that the whole production was shot with Lego bricks.

Instead of shopping or movies, I had a good workout Saturday. After waking up early to send Eliss to the airport (she went Wagga for a company event), I couldn't sleep. TV program was crap, it was either retro shows or music videos.

I went rollerblading for the first time here. The weather was warm and dry. It was a good 4.5km I covered today.

I noticed something rather distinctive today which I would never have known if I drive. The sidewalk on the both side of the road was in 2 totally conditions. The side where I was on was really bad, full of cracks and little potholes. I had a hard time balancing myself.

As I was struggling, I noticed the other side was much smoother, and the houses were prettier too. The side I was on was like full of weathered 3 storey brick buildings with graffiti. I heard from Eliss a lot of poor people stayed there.

It took me a good 20mins to reach my destination at Eastlakes.

There was a thriving Chinese community there, with many of them running seafood shops, fresh vegetables and butcheries. There were also a couple of boutiques stocked with 1985 clothes.

After a quick browse, I headed back using the other side of the road. It took only 15mins. A good 25% time saving.

With the body nice and warmed up, I cooled off in the indoor swimming at my place. I always wanted to have a dip, but winter was simply too cold to do it. Swam a couple of laps and spent most of the time just soaking in the water.

I went on to the jacuzzi when the family left. I had the whole place to myself. The water was nicely heated and the jet streams eased the pain of my sprained ankle from the snowboarding trip. Yeah, it still hurt a little.
