I'd hardly call that an airport...

It's saturday. I'm bored.

All my friends are busy today what with their commitments and such. Because of this I decided it would be a great idea to drive myself to the Jandakot airport to look at some little planes and helicoptors and that. It doesn't look much fun flying those planes, too many controls and knobs. You only really need a few buttons, up/down, left/right, start/stop. The rest are just to stop the pilot getting bored and flying into mountains I think. A really fat bloke had a ride in a plane doing tricks and loops. I wonder if they had parachutes... and would he have to wear two of them? I'm not sure if commercial pilots have parachutes but if I was sitting in a plane and I see the pilot come out of the cockpit, run for the door, unscrew it then jump out with a parachute on, I'd be a bit stressed.

I put both seasons of Extras (that ricky gervais show) onto my iPod to watch and I must say I'm enjoying myself, so much so that I got my mate tom to learn Tea for the Tillerman by Cat Stevens just so I could get all nostalgic about it. I don't really understand pianos, why do you need so many keys for so many different notes. Songs don't have that many notes do they? I like that show, I think it would be a harsh realisation for ambitious actors how they will most likely end up in their careers. I have been wondering about extras though, if one famous person features in each episode, how did that happen. Did Ricky and Steve decide an actor then write the script hoping an actor would like it and say yes, or did they ask and actor first, without a script then write it once they said yes. I'm not sure which way.

I am tempted to write a novel. Mckenzie said she thinks its a good idea. An Australian satire of Moby Dick set in Eden Victoria (PATENT PENDING). There was this killer whale who rounded up whales for the whalers then it got the left overs. I think his name was Toby. I guess he was evolved above the rest of the whales or something. I'm sure he'd make an adorable character the reader could relate to, like free willy or lassy. Man's best friend them killer whales are. I don't like the idea, she thinks it's brilliant. I'll write the first chapter and see if I like it. I wouldn't mind being like that Eragon kid though, I'm sure he got filthy rich off that book.

If I do write a book and become famous somehow, I am very relieved I managed to get twitter.com/DaveSharp. It's good for promotion that.

Alright, until next time. Download extras, send me book ideas on twitter and watch Saving Private Ryan.
P.S my leg is better, I think it was the MindWave app, it healed me with music!
