When I first discovered Sigur Ros was hitting Melbourne to promote the release of their latest album 'Með suð í eyrum við spilum endalaust' ('With a buzz in our ears we play endlessly') I was ecstatic. When I discovered they were going to be playing at Festival Hall aka 'Festering Hole', I was less than impressed. I'd seen Sigur Ros once before at ( Read more... )

Uni is done and dusted. I mean completely. I mean forever ( Read more... )

My hands are absolutely freezing. Wasn't it supposed to be 26 degrees today? What happened to that?! Well, the last few hours have been dedicated to cooking pancakes and chomping (yes, chomping) away at my online unit :  'History of Interactive Games'. As if my life needs ANOTHER forum!

MAN! There's a car alarm bleeping like crazy. Oh...it stopped!

 Life has been fairly sweet to me of late.

I'm currently the proud temporary owner of Brett's Super Nintendo 64, complete with Super Mario 64 - only the best game EVER!!! I've seriously been craving this game for a month straight. So, when Brett kindly lent me his console and a shoebox full of games I was quite the happy chappy to say the least! Who ( Read more... )

The last four or so days have rocked quite substantially. Allow me to document.

Thursday
The night was spent at a fantastic (and warm!) little cocktail bar in the CBD called Bar 1806.  Sarah (as in, Sydney Sarah!) was celebrating her 22nd and had invited John and I to join her. True, drinks were a bit on the pricey side, but damn were they worth it ( Read more... )

I'm in a REALLY strange mood tonight. Sadness and helplessness have risen up in me out of nowhere. It could just be hormones, or more likely, it could be the fact that since I've turned 21, I've become a lot more introspective. John and I both. Who'd have known that a milestone birthday could actually make me seriously consider my future. It ( Read more... )

Here ‘tis! My far-too-belated Bjork related blog!

Monday Evening

It was the night before John and I were to be leaving for Sydney, and I couldn’t sleep. No surprise really. For at least 7 years I had been waiting for the opportunity to see Bjork live, and in only a couple of days I would finally be granted this opportunity! I was ( Read more... )

I'm leaving for Sydney tomorrow and I simply cannot wait! In the 3 years John and I have been together, not once have we gone holidaying. Yes, sure, it may only be for 3 days. But still. It's a holiday of sorts. We get to fly in a plane dammit!! Ok and yes, to some that may sound like a dreary thing rather than something to be excited about, but I' ( Read more... )

Monday night plans with Pennie fell through in the end. Work for me that night was SO busy and I was absolutely stuffed afterwards. So it was postponed to the following night (lastnight ( Read more... )

I've finally written long overdue replys to comments and messages, both on MySpace and Facebook. It took me a couple of hours, but at least now I don't feel like I'm drowning in the social networking pool. Honestly, it's a sad state of affairs that I should be feeling that way to begin with ( Read more... )
