I spent the day getting over a cold. I watched the Bourne Identity, the Bourne Supremacy and did some painting.

Today is Anzac day, a day set aside to commemorate the battle of Gallipoli, and for many, war in general. It's a particularly bittersweet day for Australians as the battle of Gallipoli both forged an initial Australian identity in the eyes of the world at large, but on the flipside resulted in 8000 Australian deaths in a horrible, poorly implemented battle plan.

..So we get the day off work. There are marches through the streets in most Australian towns.

New music: The Guillemots : TripleJ have been pushing the song: Trains to Brazil. Check it out.
I've found an acoustic version on YouTube.com, see below. This is a bit too mellow for me, I prefer the electric version.
