Sister's birthday yesterday (she had a cooler birthday than I did hurrh).  I was frantically googling restaurant reviews in Melbourne, italian restaurant reviews  (because she wanted lasagna - seriously that girl buys frozen lasagna as her quick dinner option, I think she's ate her way through all the various options and her verdict: not great, ( Read more... )

A Little Night Music was wonderful, lovely gorgeousity made flesh! Okay, I exaggerate shamelessly - but the singing was top notch, as was the acting. The plot was pretty decent (very neat, I feel, for a play about mismatched lovers) and the set while not as impressive as some other musicals I've been to was just enough, there was no need for piling ( Read more... )
