EDIT: Seems I'm not the only one who thinks along these lines. At least someone at The Age appears to be following reason - Read on here.I’m not sure why I’m posting now since this journal is now defunct (and I will be shutting down my Molly_Cule journal due to complete lack of interest), but anyway, there is just too much so deeply wrong with the ( Read more... )

Today I didn’t want to have my eyes open at work. Perhaps it was just the fact I was bone-tired and would rather have been asleep, but I’ve realised (again) how much better the world is without visuals. Things clutter up your brain when you can see them, all sorts of images assaulting you and vying for your attention. It’s not nice. But close your ( Read more... )

So much has been going on, I don’t know where to start. I’m on leave from work now for the rest of the year (woohoo!), and the silly season and related parties are starting to get overwhelming. Friday night was great fun - I had drinks with some people from acting class, then caught up with evildoom_bunny and we went dancing. Thanks to neonfaerie’s fab DJing skills, we ( Read more... )

Where to start? The past twenty-four hours have been such a whirlwind, it’s hard to keep track of it. Do you want the bad news or the good news first? Maybe I’ll go with the good news first ( Read more... )

It’s been eight days so far since things kicked off, and I have to admit, I am now, finally, starting to go a little bit batty. After my first massive push landing me a total of over 28,000 words so far, I’m starting to flag and hit some really bad lows ( Read more... )

Although we all knew it was coming, poor Pippin didn’t make it through the day. Last night he was still eating, and still eager to spend time with us, but his energy levels were really low and his breathing was much more laboured than usual. This morning he seemed the same as he had been for the past few days (sick and miserable), but on my return ( Read more... )

Although I’ve a much overdue review of the Arts Festival owing, I’m afraid I’ve had some bad news. You might all remember that Pippin, my beloved little feathered friend, has been sick lately. He had improved after his stay in the hospital, but about a week ago he relapsed again. At the time, we thought it might have been potential poisoning from ( Read more... )

Right, I’ve seen two more events at the Melbourne Festival, seeing three more in the next four days. I’m back at acting tonight and my god, have I missed it. I’m all razzed up now, after running around, being other people. I love being other people. We get our scripts next week. I can’t wait ( Read more... )

Well, the arts festival kicked off (no, not the other arts festival (click if you dare)). I’ve booked tickets for six events all up, and I’ll keep you posted on what I think.

Tonight, I saw “insen”, which got things of to a rather inauspicious start. I have to admit, it looked a lot better in the program (although the visuals were quite nice). To ( Read more... )
