Monk-ey Magic

EDITED: 13/01/06 *wipes hands* ah that feels so much better now that Paris Hilton's picture is removed. What on earth was I thinking in contaminating my blog with such a thing!

The not-so-secret truth as to why Sophie Monk describes herself as an 'actress' is now out.
Apparently she appears in a new DVD which is made by 2 of the filmakers who produced 'Scary Movie'. It's called 'Date' and they parody romantic comedies from 'The Wedding Planner' through to 'Meet the Fockers'. From the look of the trailer Sophie seems to be impersonating Paris Hilton from her burger advert.

Anyhow the care factor from me as to what Sophie Monk gets up to as 0. Why I have blogged this story at all bewilders me.

Godfather Part II

I never tire of this film, I watched it for at least the 20th time recently. Al Pacino as Michael is so wonderfully chilling. One of the best acting moments is when it dawns on him that Fredo has betrayed him, the acting is so subtle it's superb. The young De Niro is also fantastic, and so smooth -
although one has to keep putting the image of an older De Niro out of mind!

Male Teachers

Happy New Year btw :)

At risk of reigniting a debate of machete throwing magnitude between Bleachy and Milo, *BJ ducks*, Lol, I read the following today which was mildly interesting:

A recent report by University of Western Sydney academics records that "contrary to popular argument that boys fare better academically under male teachers...it was found there existed no such significant interaction between student gender and teacher gender. The only significant interaction that emerged was that girls reported a better relationship with female teachers than with male teachers, while boys reported fairly similar relationships."

However a professor from the University of Newcastle counters the results of the survey maintaining that the results do not address the issue of the importance of having more male teachers in classrooms in order to reflect society as a whole and the need for boys "to see that men care about education and children".

Whatever Happened To?

Whatever happened to that chick on the first series of "The Block" who was a singer pianist and released a single? I remember she played at our local jazz bar thingy when I lived in Bondi and she was courted by the Eastern suburbs socialite set for at least a whole week. I can't remember her name now, can anyone?
