Bloomin' Rose.

Mother & Son.

Sweeney Todd.

Megan and I went to see Sweeney Todd at the cinema today. It was great. We always like to see Tim Burton movies and it was lovely to see Johnny Depp, Helena Bonham Carter, Alan Rickman and Timothy Spall...some of my favourites. It's funny the things that run through your mind when you are watching a film. During the scenes where Todd reunites with his razors I kept thinking of Edward Scissorhands and there was a second where I could've sworn Cap'n Jack Sparrow extended his arm and during Mrs Lovetts dream for a life with Todd I kept thinking of Beetlejuice. I could'nt stop looking at Judge Turpins filthy nails and the sound effects when the bodies hit the cellar floor made both Megan and I queezy. Very graphic. Very atmospheric. Very Tim Burton.....deliciously dark...yum.

Scrotum.

Wiiiieeee.

Brian bought me a Wii for christmas....its lovely....and Daniel got me Zelda Twilight Princess to play.....I have'nt played Zelda since the first version on Nintendo....woo hoo...that was a long time ago. I don't know when I'm going to find the time to play it though.

Exhausted!

I have'nt posted for a while...I have been running all over the place...I have'nt been 100% well and have just been exhausted. Daniel and I went to see Muse when they were here and they were fantastic. I have got everyone Foo Fighter tickets for Xmas and I am looking forward to seeing them in the New Year. I have been participating in Annie's crochet workshops and I am learning a lot as well as having a nice time with the group. I'll take a photo of the earphone holder I made and post it next time....I call it "The Scrotum"....heh heh.

Megan & Savi with Alex & Vicki.

We're Baaack!

Brian and I arrived back on Australian soil last Thursday. We went to California. We stayed with our friends...Anni, Ron & Ashley. We had a great time. We visited Disneyland...just to get stuff for Lachlan...of course. We travelled up the coast with Ron to SanFrancisco and we went to Megan and Savi's wedding...which was gorgeous...in Santa Cruz. I will tell you more soon...Im still a bit out of wack.

And Again.

Daniel.

Bride & Groom.

Ring Bearer.

Stardust.

Last week I made it to the movies and saw "Stardust". I thought it was fun. Billy the goats antics as the innkeeper particularly tickled my funnybone and seeing Robert DeNiro in a petticoat is worth the price of the ticket alone....hee hee.

At the park.

A couple more.

Phone socks for my N95.

Since I went to one of Annie's crochet workshops I have been practising my crochet. That is ....in between babysitting, being unwell...a lot...doing the tax , painting, dancing etc etc. I am starting to get better. Well, at least I feel more comfortable with the yarn and hook. Recently I got a new phone. An N95. I like it a lot but all the little carry thing-a-me's I had for my last phone dont fit my new one so I decided I would crochet a few. Well, I have done a few and a few extra for Nicole's fundraising for the boys to go over east for their quadbike racing.

John Simm as "The Master".

I've only just watched last Saturday's episode of Doctor Who ..... Whooo hooo I can't believe they have brought in John Simm to play the "Master".... hee hee .... just perfect ... cheeky ... I love it ..... and Derek Jacobi playing the "Professor"... cool ...... it sure brightened my sleepless night .... sad aint I.

p.s... thanks Google for fixing the problem with Customize Google Suggest .... I did'nt realize how much I relied on that feature until it was gone.

Well, its all over...once again.

AinA's exhibition is over once again. It went well and it is always great to see everyone. I will have to get stuck in and get some work done for the next one....no rest for the wicked.

Douglas Wright.

Last night I went to bed quite late and Brian had the TV on in the bedroom. I was really tired and ready to have a goooood sleep. I got into bed and accidently found myself watching a program on the ABC called "Haunting Douglas". I woke up right quick! The program was about the acclaimed dancer and choreographer Douglas Wright. Wow that guy can move. I never have seen anything like it.....I could'nt take my eyes off the screen. What a lovely late night surprise.

Amazing Grace.

I took a few hours off today and went to the cinema. I saw "Amazing Grace". It starred Ioan Gruffudd as William Wilberforce who tirelessly campaigned for decades to abolish slavery throughout the British Empire. It also tells of his friend John Newton (Albert Finney), a former slave trader, who repented and turned to the church and who also wrote the beautiful song...Amazing Grace. I really enjoyed this moving film and there were a few moments where I thought I would really like to paint a portrait of Mr Gruffudd ....mmmmm....but...you just dont do that .....do ya?.....or do you?

Muse.

Whooo hooo I just got tickets for Muse. They are going to be at The Supreme Court Gardens on the 10th of November.

Bubbleman.

"Searching Without Google" gone to a good home.

The opening of the AinA exhibition at the Old Berlin went off well on Friday night. It was great to see everyone's new work. I was really blown away when Edgar bought my "Searching Without Google" painting. Even though I will miss it I am glad it has gone to a good home. I am really chuffed...whooo hoooo!

AinA at the Old Berlin.

AinA are about to have their annual exhibition. I have been down to the site a few times and it should look fantastic when its all set up. Looking forward to seeing everyone's new work....yahoo!

Bloxorz.

Annie told me about a puzzle game she has been playing. Bloxorz. Now I have started getting in to it. Have'nt really got the time to play it lately though.
