THE DAILY MOJO by Adam Daniel

I saw these two the other night in Katoomba, and I can’t imagine two more disparate movies. It was definitely an interesting experience, switching my brain from popcorn flick to semi-indie arty mindbender …. Here’s my thoughts…..

Time to take you back to those Halcyon days of the early 90s, when you would rush home from school to flip on Channel 10 and lose yourself in the cheesy 60s Americana of The Wonder Years. Ahh, just listening to Joe Cocker’s growl brings back the memories… Becky Slater, the pimple Kevin tried to [...]

I woke this morning to a msg from my buddy Nuf that said ‘Heath Ledger is dead’, and for a second I thought I must be dreaming. Sadly, I wasn’t.

So India just closed out the third test, Australia pulling up 72 runs short after a spirited chase by our tail-enders. Mitchell Johnson had 50 off 80 balls, essentially batting at the same clip that Ponting did but ending up with a better total. Super effort.
