Sydney’s kindergarten has got to be the field-trippinest kindergarten known to man. Last week they had two devoted to produce alone (lame, I know, but true) and today was a trip to the farm. A trip consisting of five adults trying to navigate 17 children through a minefield of cow/horse/pig/goat/sheep/chicken shit, cages that […]

Over the past few days of laying around I’ve been fortunate enough to see three really great films. Here are my thoughts…
