Ain't no Sunshine when he's Gone

Hmmm. where to start?
i was uber skeptical of this film at first. i laughed at teh previews.....me and my Melbourne Uni sceince student mind...pfft..they can't go to teh sun...thats not plausable.
THEN....teh fantastic scientific journal Mx changed mymind. the director said he DID have science people helping him out to make the idea more feasible and that thought had actually gone into this film so people like me would watch it.....mental.




so i watched it.

it was like rice bubbles for my eyes. snap. crackle AND pop. everything was just bam. bam. and i was loving it till this guy came along who seemes like he just rolled off a slab in a mortuary...half dissected. from then, it kinda turned a little 'Anatomy for Beginners' i was just missing Gunter's voice comparing his muscles and the way they were peeling away to that of a banana or something.

as for those suits.....OH MY HOLY LORD. they have got to be the scariest things ever created for a movie. i am actually too afraid to go to sleep in fear of seeing those suits. couldn't fin a picture of them but i'll keep trying.

but on the whole..i must say..i enjoyed it...there. i said it. sigh......
perhaps it was the trough of popcorn..or the litre and a half frozen coke.....dunno...where to next??

I be TechKnowLoGee

so...as i have been slaving away at the shit hole i decided to make it all worthwhile by moving into the future with my gadgets. My old phone was dying, teh red phone key wasn't working well..which totally sucked and blowed.
hence, i waltz into the 3 store in bentleigh as i had a few hours to kill and went hey..i want a new phone. this one looked pretty enough and apparently its 'slide' was 'sturdier'. I felt akin to the guy who served me as he also had a bung eye....yessss.and my need for total techy up-to-date-ness didn't stop there. my old 3mp player died....as my family calls em . so i dlink into DickSmith....5% off bitches...Woolworths slaving has got to b good for somethign right??
the guy that served us was like on speed and caffeine and then probably just topped it all of with a Red Bull or two it seemed. I couldn't understand what he was saying. it was..jabbajabbajabbajabba....you work with us.....jabbajabbajabba....can still do it.....jabbajabbajabba...warranty.....jabbajabba.....Lay-by....jabba....5th month is June?....jabba..
alarms are going off..i am starting to sweat and totally spin out coz of this dude. i literally had to walk into the really quiet bookshop so i could slow my hear rate. How are people like that allowed out in public??

so..anyway...after all that..i have a half paid for black ipod video waiting for me at DickSmith. what have i done?

taught today. freaken horse was such a total cow..hahaha...nah she cut my hand, bit me and bolted about 12 times. it was awesome fun. and then some randoms turned up n asked if they could shoot my horse...for a children's book. one eyebrow is stil raised in weirded-out-ness.

I Don't Believe it

Iza has educated me as to the existence of Monchichi dolls.

Wikipedia:

Monchhichis was a Japanese animated series (known as Futago no Monchihichi in Japan), whose American dubbed version was produced by Hanna-Barbera Productions. The cartoon series premiered, in the United States, on ABC on September 10, 1983.

The show's characters were based on an exported line of toys licensed by the American company Mattel, who co-produced the Monchhichis series.

Your Eyes have Seen the Most Amazing Things

So..where do i start??
Ben says to me..keep the 4th and 5th nighsts free. I'm like ok. wondering y??
Sarah Blasko...wow.

After having left a lecture 15 min early in order to get back to Ben's, drop off my stuff and get back into the city by 7, i missed the train and haad to wait like 20 min anyway. By the time i wasa t Ben's it was waay to close to teh time that we were meant to b ther. so here i go, bolting down Macauley rd in my awesome pirate boots...hair and arms flailing. get to Kensington and, yep..u guessed it..had to wait.

So by the time we actually get ther, with brisk walking detour, we are perfectly on time. She had no supporting acts so we were really lucky with our time as it only took about 5 min adn she was out. She had a 5 piece orchestra with her. They were unbelievable together. She had a double bass, cello, violin, flute and trombone. The combination of the instruments and her amazing voice brought tiny tears to my eyes....maybe....as i don;t emote so forget i said that. i never cry bitches!
She is so graceous and humble it is so cute. she was wearing the most simple outfit and everythign was so low key. she chatted to the audience in a shy little voice and politely asked if they could fill the seats at the front. This caused a HUGE upset with people flooding the front adn the poor bastards who turned up late and actually paid for those seats just had to grin and bear it. We ened up real close. ABout 5 rows in front of where we began. Brilliant. The National theatre is such an intimate venue and everyone was just so fabulous there. All a little quirky but there purely for her. There was this awesome guy with an afro who was grooving in his seat. swaying his head and totally memerised. It was beautiful.



So..to Ben. You done good.

Spent all day getting rid of old tickets and putting up new ones today. Took ages adn the job was fruitless. My hands burn coz of teh cold of the freezer. I love Safeway. and dumbshits kept coming to the door and waiting. WE"RE CLOSED FOOL!

Good Friday was, well, good. Had soo much food then went to wash it all down with..some mroe food at Li Kim's. Mental. I am officially pregnant with a food baby now. It's due any day so keep the presents and chocolates of support coming guys.

Had to feed Kornel's mice for him as he was gone away for the weekend on some 'eco-trip' with his Heather. His place reeks coz of the vermin. You wouldn't believe it. Imagine an animal farm in the middle of Flinder's St toilets. Chyah!
took a McD's detour on the way to his house...after a behemoth lunch of pork schnitzel and russian salad. Love to totally lose control.



So, as i am of age and have been for a good fortnight and a half now i FINALLy had to produce my ID for somethign last night. I joined my local Video Ezy. I know, I know. Your words of encouragement and commendation make me jittery. borrowed Charlottes web and had microwave pop corn.

house still smells like fake butter.
