Your Highness!

Last weekend, I watched ‘Your Highness’ and I enjoyed it for the wrong reason: unbridled, crass, scathing, humour. It is always a treat to watch serious actors not take themselves too seriously in films with simple plotlines. Academy-Award winner, Natalie Portman and Academy-Award nominee James Franco ham it up to the hilt in this farcical play. It is sure to be a classic, as it is a hit with nerds and geeks. Not everyone's cup of tea, especially if you are Java kind of kind. Leave your inhibitions at the door and just immerse in the comedy!

Good news: we will interview multi-disciplined athlete extant, Sheila Taormina soon. She has participated over three disciplines (modern pentathlon, swimming and triathlon) over three Olympic Games. She won a gold medal in the 4X200m swim relay in 1996 Olympics in Atlanta, and placed high in the triathlon. She is now a motivational speaker, author and swim coach: three solid disciplines in life after competitive international sports.

Tomorrow, we fly off to Brisbane then head straight by train to the Gold Coast. It will be a short vacation, with it epicenter at the Gold Coast Marathon. I had a deep tissue massage at Core Concepts by Danny yesterday, and am still slightly sore. It could have been due to my last 21K run on Monday evening.

I enjoyed this evening’s ‘live’ concert: Kylie Minogue – Aphrodite Tour. The sets were amazing, with high-resolution graphics and videos. Dancers and trapeze dancers accompanied her; it felt like a Cirque Du Soleil performance, albeit with live singing from Minogue and her two back-up singers. We were on our feet most of the time as the audience felt compelled to stand up and dance, so a bit dodging of the traffic, so to speak. What a prelude before my Big Dance in Australia, from this petite Aussie Diva with the ability to hit the high notes. Dance on!
