It's been a bit of an arty day. I started out this morning in Federation Square at the Age's exhibition of photos from this season's AFL. A whole load of interesting and sometimes fun images capturing the uniqueness of the game of Aussie Rules Football. Plenty of Saints in there too, which is always good, a beautiful one of Richmond's Matthew Richardson eating the turf at the Telstradome and a very young child in his Carlton shirt crying his little eyes out, which kind of sums up their season. The late afternoon and evening have been spent in the National Gallery of Victoria. A massive art gallery if ever there was one! The reason for going was the Dutch Masters exhibition. A whole load of painting on loan from the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam. Having been in Amsterdam last year and not gone to the Rijksmuseum today seemed as good as any to go and see some of the paintings. Very interesting it was too. It would also appear that I now have a hostel room all to myself. It's been generally quiet in the hostel though. Not really that suprising given that it's winter here and most backpackers tend to go where the good weather is, ie in Queensland or the Northern Territory. Although I'd suspect there's also a fair number in Sydney working. I did go to the movies again yesterday. Unleashed had finally come out. I've mentioned before that I am a bit of a fan of Luc Besson's work and Unleashed, although written and produced by Besson, wasn't directed by him. Not to worry though it was still a very enjoyable, fun movie. There's a whole bunch of fight scenes with you'd expect with someone like Jet Li in the film, added to that the family who take him in give a whole different perspective on his life. Bob Hoskins is as funny as he often is, whether he's meant to be funny or not I'm not sure.            Comment on this article
