What we are excited about!

Welcome to our new weekly column on what we are excited about. We are The Excitables after all, so here is a taste of what gets us going each week.


1. Has to be Entourage. This is our new favourite TV program and the first thing worth watching that is exlusive to foxtel. Considering the three years we have had cable TV and at $90 per month, it means that the ten episodes we have enjoyed have actually cost over $360 each to get the privelege to view this series. Watch out for it if you have cable. Won't be coming to free to air as there is too much swearing.

2. Gmail chat. Hello to our gmail chat friends.

3. Shelter. Thanks to Gus.

4. An upcoming trip to one of P's favourite locations with our little family.

5. Indigo's first drink bottle with its own little handles that she can hold. (Thanks Aunty Mouse!!)

6. The Chaser's War on Everything. They erect a tollgate for the Macquarie bank shareholders at their Annual General Meeting. excellent.

7. The Ricky Gervais podcasts. P is a big, big fan.

8. Indigo's play mat. She loves it and can grab things now.

What we are not excited about:


>The winter olympics. The olympics (winter / summer) are now on every two years for the networks to rant on about and try and get us excited in some sports, like discus, that were boring at school. We all quit Little Athletics remember Channel 7? All the networks need now is a Fall and Spring Olympics and they could throw one at us every year.

> The commonwealth games. same as above, but then slash the budgets, the talent pool, the audience. As it is the only place where Australians win lots of medals we pretend it is as important as the Olympics. Ask an American if they have ever heard of the Commonwealth games...what?

> Tony Abbott. Who is he to judge anyone's decision on pregnancy? We didn't judge him when he supposedly misplaced his pregnant girlfiend, then forgot about her and his new son for twenty years, failed to pay child support, and married someone else.

> Penelope' iPod breaking. It is 12 months old.

> Fever Fits - why are there so many things that can go wrong with kids? Indi has a little temperature and now we are bracing ourselves for everything that might go wrong, including fever fits.

Have a great weekend and come back to The Excitables next week for plenty of new photos and tales. We should have a great story soon on exciting Court Battle.

    Go easy on Macquarie Bank Shareholders - without those profits I wouldn't be able to buy Indi pretty things!

    My ipod broke too - although mine is 10months old and still under warranty.

    Why are my messages doing dodgy things? I can't work your blog.
