Relax take it easy...

So i've been on Uni holidays since the end of the June, hence all the blogging. My holidays have been very interesting, relaxing and fun.

So I have been on a quest to find a job, and no luck yet, but it's not for a lack for trying, people just don't want to hire me =(

No lose thought it has given me time to do other things like, get my hair cut. It's been awhile and I was out int he city with some of my mates when Steph asked Sam and I if we wanted to be 'hair models' at her mother's salon. So Sam and I took a trip to Brunswick and sat down to get our hair cut, by trainees, they weren't really trainees, they had been cutting for at lear 6-8 years, they were just learning new techniques, the girl that was cutting my hair was really nice, knew what she was doing and made my hair look great, layered all the way around, and short in the front, well short for me, it's about the same length as my face, it's what I call short. It's really good I'm wearing my hair down a whole lot more. Exciting!

I got my Uni results back, and guess what I passed everything, not well, but I passed, two B's, one C and one D. The D was for the subject i had most trouble with on the exam, truned out ok though! Need to not leave things to the last moment this semester!

I've also been driving alot with Dad, since Gary went back to Malaysia, he has been the only one to take me driving since mother gets a little to scared for me. It's been good he took me on a really long drive to Kinglake, where the devastating fires were in January. The roads were really narrow and windy, and the all i could see was black burnt tree it was very sad. I've also been generally driving around, leanring how to park it's been good, but dad gets annoyed and frustrated, but I don;t let is get to me, or else that would probally make it worse.

Avenue Q

So the Awesomeeness of Avenue Q came to Melbourne.

I went on the 18th of July and it was great I loved every moment, even the really weird but fun to watch puppet sex. The puppeteers were great as were their voices, top notch on both the singing and the accents. I thought i twas going to be hard to concentrate on the puppets, but my eyes were instantly drawn to them. Especially there is one scene where the same actress is the voices for two of the characters on stage, I hardly even noticed with the perfectly timed puppeteering and change of tone in the voice. Amazing stuff!
Princeton - Could really see the naivety in the character, Fun to watch, very easily relatable.
Rod - Played by the same actor (Mitchell Butel) as Princeton, was great as Rod, extremely flamboyant, and whiniy fitted the character really well.
Nicky/Trekkie Monster(Luke Joslin) - I liked his voice, thought it was very good, but my friend thought it was wasnt monster/ Erine-esk enough.
We had the understudy for the Kate and Lucy the Slut i think her name was Natalie Alexopoulos, she was fantasic, great voice, fantastic acting.
The only character that I had a little bit of a problem with was Gary Coleman, she was a bit to, lets face it,white, and the ac6ting seemed a bit forced. Maybe it had to be, becuase some of the jokes that were centreded around Gary Coleman weren't really got by the Australian audience.
Thats another thing, although i thought it was fine, maybe becuase I have watched so much of it on youtube, was the americaness of it. I know that sound pretentious, by my friends asked me at interval, why it was called Avenue Q, and I had to explain about Alphabet city and other things like that. Although I must say they did try their best to make it more realtable, especially when they changed the words in For Now, from 'Geroge Bush', to 'Swine Flu' that defiantly got a laugh.

My mates that went with me, hadn't really heard much of the soundtrack, besides the songs they heard when I was obsessed with the musical. They loved them, thought they were very witty and cleverly done. Crude, but good crude, spoke the truth. One of the songs called "What do I do with a BA in English" at interval, Nick turned to me and said what do I do with a BA, as that is what she is studying in Uni. 'The Internet Is For Porn' was a definatly crowd pleaser but caused a problem when signing it in public, as is the song 'Everyone is a little bit racist', although when someone accuses me of being racist I do break into song. Schadenfreude is very true!
And the song For Now helped me get though last year, becuase I knew it wasn't going to last forever only for now!

I deifnalty walked out of the theatre with a smile on my face!

Torchwood

So UKTV was kind enough to fast track, I mean Super fast track the new season of Torchwood: Children of Earth from the UK. Basically a mini series of 5 episodes that all link together and make one story arc.

I really enjoyed it, there were some major events that could have been left out, because it was too sad =(, and you could see that they tied off lose ends just in case they get cancelled, and they also left a wide opening to let Captain jack return to Doctor who, which i would also be very happy about. The Children speaking together was well creepy, the aliens were a bit weak, seeing as we never actually see them. The team didn't seem to be that much affect by the lose of 2 members in the last season, i think they were trying to make this a stand alone season, so everyone could watch it. Definatly liked the fact the cliff hanger only lasted one day. Loved the Janto wish there was more.

Overall a very good story, will defiantly watch again soon!

Sorrento

So two weeks ago I went back to Sorrento for a bit of a Holiday, relaxation after exams. I ahd an amazing time.
I was a bit apprehensive at first because half the people that were going I had never met before, but they turned out to be lovely!
First night we played the drinking game kings, which will always end badly.
The second day Millie, Sam and I went for a walk to Sorrento, and got caught in a torrential downpour, which soaked one side of our clothes. The third day Millie, Sam, Chris, Russell and I went to Rye to get souvlakis, which were fabulous and hit the spot. At night we drank way to much and definatly felt it in the morning.All in all a great time would definatly do it again.
The house was lovely, 4 rooms, 2 with ensuite, massive kitchen, nice loungeroom, and a deck.

Some pictures of our adventures.

Harry Potter + the Musical!

One more post for today before I go to bed.

Tonight I saw Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince.
I really enjoyed it, although they did cut out most of the story of the Half Blood Prince, which might make it a little bit difficult to link up with the seventh movie, but I'm sure they will find a way. The general idea of the book was shown, with the start of Harry's 'quest', it was nicely set up. The movie was much less darker then that of the Order of the Phoenix, there were some nice lighthearted scenes with Ron(Chocolates) and Harry(Spider). There was some nice D&M moments with Harry and Hermione. The romance between Ginny and Harry seemed a little forced and although it is all well and good to have the same actress play Ginny, someone maybe a shorter then Harry might have been better.
Overall I think is one of the better Potter films and a 8.5/10.

A VERY POTTER MUSICAL

This is one of the best things i have seen all year it is a musical written by students of UMich loosely based on most of the Harry Potter books. I loved every second of this, the acting is awesome as is the singing, but the songs are hilarious! My favourite character is Draco, and although deep down it pains me to say this, Voldermort is FINE! It is Camp-tastic!

Act 1, Scene 1

Nail Art

I love to do my nails, it relaxes me, slows everything down. I've started doing some designs and things.
I have the Konad nail stamping set. Which is great fun to play around with, and the detail is fantastic, I also have been trying out free hand but only simple designs.
I love bright colours on nails!

Please ignore my friends cuticles.

All my nail Polishes are super cheap all under $10. The brands are 'The Face Shop' and 'L.A. Girl' ( disco and flare)

Blue Eyes

Mika has got a new album out called 'Songs of Sorrow' and I am really liking a song on there called Blue Eyes, it is beautifully written, very melodic. You use to be able to listen to this song plus two other on his site, www.mikasounds.com, but they took Blue Eyes down which was a shame, but here is sung live.



I have only ever disliked one of Mika's songs and it was the hidden track, Grace Kelly reminds me of my trip to France because I first heard it there, and it was playing is every shop.

I'm bored, I'm awesome, it's almost one...

So my posts a few and far between, and every time I got to write something it has no substance, but does a blog need to have substance, maybe that's my problem is that I think there has to be something fun interesting to blog about. So from now on I think I will blog about nothing is particular, cool video, interesting articles, strange pictures, and so on and so forth.

The title of this blog is "I'm bored, I awesome,it's almost one..." come from the song "Blue Hair" by Joe Iconis, I didn't instantly love it when I first heard it, but it began to grow on me and now I tend to sing it often, usually loudly and in the shower. I first found it on UrInTown (one of the best channels ever)on youtube, sung by the fabulous Courtney Wolfson.



Always makes me smile when I listen to this song, because at one point last year, I did want to dye my hair blue.
