I know I’ve been quite remise in my post­ings of late, but I’ll try to do better.

Rather than do a brain dump (which is what I’d usu­ally do after such a long time between posts) I’ll just write about Fri­day night.

For the longest time I’ve wanted to try chur­ras­caria: many types of meat cooked on a large skewer. As luck would have it, there’s a num­ber of restu­rants in Mel­bourne that serve it. The more famous being Blue­Fire Grill. I went into the Mel­bourne Cen­tral fran­chise with high hopes (at $50 a head you’d want to), but in the end I wasn’t really that impressed.
Ser­vice took a long time to get started, but once it was on a roll I didn’t have an issue. The meats them­selves weren’t exactly up to par. i.e. beef should be pink, not grey. The lamb and “sausage” made up for the “too-fatty” chicken and the “what the hell hap­pened to this?” calamari.

With spir­its and stom­achs hang­ing low we wan­dered next door to Hoyts and took in Super­man Returns.
It speaks vol­umes that for two hours after the movie ended I was unable to sleep. After read­ing a few reviews I’m glad nobody has said “Oh, but Super­man doesn’t do that”, and I’m glad that Bryan Singer was able to cre­ate such a good film con­sid­er­ing all the on– and off-screen bag­gage he had to carry with him.
