Sport, Harry Potter, and a job
Since Wednesday, Australia has had a good run…
Australian Soccer team beat Uruguay 1-0, advancing us to the world cup finals.
Australian Rugby Union team beat Ireland by some huge amount.
Australian Rugby League team beat Great Britain.
Australian Cricket team beat the West Indies by a simply embarrassing margin.
I know that most of our American friends couldn’t care less about any of these sports, but take my word for it that we’re the best.
So about Harry Potter… It (the new movie) doesn’t even open here for two more weeks, and all the reviews are really good. That’s annoying. Australia loses there. I also resolved a question that had been on my mind regarding the title of the first Harry Potter book. IN America, it was HP and the Sorcerer’s Stone. Here and in Britain it was …the Philosopher’s stone. Anyway, that first movie was on TV here the other night, and every time the stone was mentioned, they called it the philosopher’s stone – not dubbed or anything, meaning that they filmed different takes on every scene that included the mention of the fullname of the philospher’s/sorcerer’s stone. I know you’ll sleep better now. No need to thank me.
Oh, I got a job. I dunno if I mentioned it or not. A part time bank teller. Not all that inspiring compared to my last job, but this shire (i.e. county) has the highest unemployment rate in the country, so one does not have the privilege of pickiness. I started today. Training, ho hum.
Hope you’re all well and nobody got too badly burnt when Alex tried to burn down the church.
