I have to do an assignment that involves analysing a film.
How exciting. I feel like an arts student :)
So, I was going to ask for any reviews of the following:
-Trainspotting
-Angel baby
-Tom White
Has anyone seen any of these movies, or even own them?

Well...I am now officially sick!

My illness has gone from "miscellaneous virus of unknown origin" which sounded very stupid I might add, to glandular fever.

At least it has a name now, and Jody and I can comiserate together.

Wed, 28 Mar 2007 00:44:31 GMT

Ok...so I have to share this. Its from the 2007 Comic Relief show. (Spot all the famous ppl)

And this is the original song, if your interested. It has Johnny Depp from the film Benny & Joon, if you need any extra encouragement.

The Proclaimers are Matt Lucus' favourite band ever. He said: "It was an honour to destroy one of the Proclaimers' greatest songs."

P.S I am sorry if the links don't work. We all know I am pretty much computer illiterate.

Ok...I hate ebay at the moment. Or more precisely, the people who have more money than me. All these bloody poms keep buying the stuff I want, and the exchange rate is crap. Life is so unfair. Argh!!!

Fri, 16 Mar 2007 01:24:20 GMT

Lou & Andy (from Little Britain, obvs, cos that seems to be what I am obsessed with at the moment) are going to be on Neighbours in about 3 months.
Two worlds collide!
I just don't get it.

Wed, 28 Feb 2007 05:20:26 GMT

Please come and see 'Music and Lyrics' on Friday night with me.
6.50pm at the Rivoli.
Let me know.

p.s I thought we could do coffee after. Easier than dinner first, no?

Mon, 26 Feb 2007 06:51:40 GMT

I feel that it is pretty pathetic if Jody can make an entire post about going to the gym, and I can go for weeks at a time without feeling like I have anything worthwhile to say. So I am going to try and write a post with no real point to it. Wish me luck!

So...insignificant point No.1: I went to McDonald's today and bought one of those berry yogurts things for the first time. It was quite exciting. And it was edible whats more. I actually enjoyed the experience. Except for the layer of apple/strawberry crap that was at the bottom. I didn't eat that bit. But I think overall it was worth the $2.45 I paid for it.

Insignificant point No.2: I sold a textbook today, for only $10 less than the original price I paid for it. I had to meet this girl who goes to deakin in Burwood, but lives in Bundoora. Its like the opposite of my situation. I offered to meet her near her uni, but apparently she doesn't know the area very well. However she also doesn't know my uni very well either. So we ended up meeting outside a McDonald's. It was the only place be both knew. How sad.

Insignificant point No.3: This is only insignificant if you are someone else. I suppose for me and my future career it is probably quite important. We leart about baby resuscitation today. It was really scary and I never EVER want to have to do it. But unfortunately I will. That's my job.

I think that is possibly all the randomness I can think of at the moment. But stay tuned cos I will attempt more at a later date. I hope it wasn't too boring.

Sun, 11 Feb 2007 07:29:54 GMT

So, Jemma and I are currently using the internet at a restaurant called 'Cabbages and Condoms', where instead of after dinner mints, you actually get condoms. Its all in aid of an organisation that aims to reduce HIV and reducing the population boom. Good idea really, and good food.

The other night we were walking home to our hotel when we saw the funniest thing. A number of parked cars were lined up down the side of this road and a bus wanted to get down the street. But it couldn't quite fit around the last car as the bus wanted to the turn the corner. So the bus driver got out and pushed the car into the middle of the rd so it could go around it. And then the bus driver just got back in and drove away. The parked car was just left in the middle of the street. The poor owner. They would have come back and gone "I didn't leave my car there!"

We also went to the red light district. Every single place had a man out the front offereing to take us inside and see the "ladies and dancing". Clearly they get a lot of lesbians around here, because there isn't anything they can show me that I haven't seen before in my own mirror! Anyway. We had this one guy come up to us and tell me he loved me, shortly followed by the offer to take us to see 'pussy peep show'. Very enticing...

Jemma seems to be feeling a little better, and is eating a bit more which is reassuring. Hopefully she will be fully recovered soon.

Wed, 07 Feb 2007 08:31:56 GMT

Hi everyone. I just wanted to tell you we are in Thailand! Yay. Its quite hot and Jemma is really sick. Poor thing. And Emma P, we bought Beauty and the Beast for you.

Tue, 09 Jan 2007 07:44:47 GMT

I should tell all about my crappy day. I got up at 6.45am and went to work. Work was busy. Then I came home at 10.00am (short shift). Then we had morning tea at my house with two relatives. It was boring. I can't make small talk at all. we had to have long in depth conversations about our family tree and who is related to whom. who cares? Then I went to my first funeral (my great aunt who was 97). There were seven people. How sad. I hope more people come to my funeral. It was weird. No one was sorry she died. It was better for her, cos she had been sick. Also, noone was sad cos she was a bitch! It felt strange having the priest tell me he was sorry for my loss and that his heart went out to our grieving family. I tried not to laugh. Also the priest had the worst handshake I have every encountered. It was appalling. Like wet fish. So that was an interesting half hour. The it was all over. I came home and said goodbye to my parents who are off again to the boat. Then I had lunch. During lunch my work called me again and asked me to work for the afternoon cos someone was sick. So my day consisted of work, wake, funeral, work. how pathetic. I am therefore looking forward to tomorrow.

Pressies!

Mon, 25 Dec 2006 07:53:40 GMT

So...did anyone get any really exciting presents? I want lists from everyone.

Christmas...

Sun, 24 Dec 2006 01:16:02 GMT

I think I have decided I like Christmas (well most of it). I like presents (obviously), and the food. I also like the feeling of Christmas. The enforced joy and good feeling towards others just because it is a certain time of year. However! I don't not necessarily like the enforced socialising with family. So far, my grandparents have arrived on the 23rd of December. They have kicked me out of my room and bathroom. I am now forced upstairs to my old room, and have to share a bathroom. You get so used to your own bathroom I have discovered, and its very hard to go back to the old ways. This afternoon however it will get worse. My uncle is coming to stay. And I am sure you ask, where is he going to sleep? Well...he now gets my upstairs bedroom. So that leaves me on a camp bed in the corner of my parents room! Yay! No privacy and the continuous sound of dad's snoring on the night before christmas.

I also got to pick up the ham today. I am such a good little helper! I went to the shop with my dad and as I was trying to get out of the parking space to go home, he suddenly yells "BANG!" I slammed on the brakes, thinking I was about to back into the car behind me, but no, it was just dad being 'funny'. Bloody idiot! I don't like those kind of surprises.

Anyway, I hope everyone has a nice Christmas, and I will see most ppl at Jody's. Yay.

Thu, 30 Nov 2006 04:56:49 GMT

Ok...So Jody and I are going to see the Black Dahlia tomorrow at the Rivoli. Feel free to join us (although I know not many people want to see it). Its on at 1.50pm so meet a bit earlier if you are coming.

Mon, 13 Nov 2006 23:15:07 GMT

I have decided that people who place ads on websites (ie seek.com) should be kind enough to send you a refusal letter if they don't think you are right for the job. I mean that used to be common practice. But now, I seem to send off applications to jobs and you never know if they even get there. Therefore...rudeness. Its not that difficult to be polite.

Anyway, I think all this job hunting has made me a bit crazy. There should be more jobs, ones that I want and ones that dont want me to work days, weekends and nights. I mean who has that much time and more importantly enthusiasm. I need the money but not that badly.

I am excited about lunch on Saturday. I hope more people can come in comparison to the pituful showing last Friday. Come on people. Ok. I know many of the excuses given were legitimate. It will be nice to socialise again.

Do you know how much time can be wasted on realestate.com? (admit it ppl, especially Kate and Sarah). I have been on that website so much recently. We are going to move you see. Sell our house, buy a smaller one and another one in the country. Sounds good in theory. Except my dad wants to live in box hill, balwyn, ashburton, surrey hills, camberwell etc. I want to live in richmond, abbotsford, clifton hill, collingwood or alphington. Now do we see a problem? I definately do. I am sure I will get my way. Maybe we will compromise. (now thats a novel idea).

Sorry that this was a bot of a rant and very disjointed as far as posts go.

Thu, 09 Nov 2006 08:45:20 GMT

YAY! Our tix to little britain came in the mail today Jody! How exciting. I opened the letter, expecting it to be something boring. But it wasn't. It made my day.

Guess what! I have joined a fitness program. Isn't this sad? You may pity me. However I feel that constantly being sore and sweaty (not in a good way) will make me feel healthier. Also, the fact that I have paid money and have to go three times a week is quite motivating. I think money motivates me more than anything in the world. So much for hugs and kisses being used as motivational tools. Hopefully you will all notice the healthy glow and bulging muscles soon enough. Ok hopefully not. I don't want to be one of those scary women who do body building competitions. Anyway, its not too bad. Its actually quite fun. If anyone wants to learn more (probably not) go to www.curves.com.

Oh. Also I got a job. Its very exciting. Its only one day a week so I am also looking for something else, but its a start. I get to be a receptionist at an audiologist. I get to file, type, answer phones, make coffee and make appointments. It sounds fun. Also $25 a hour. Yay!

Tue, 26 Sep 2006 01:33:09 GMT

Well...as some of you know already, my pregnant woman went into labour last night.
So there I was, all anxious, lying in bed all night waiting for the call to tell me
to come to the hospital becuase it was all happening. Then after I got up this morning,
all prepared to rush into the hospital, I got a msg from her saying "sorry. had the bub."
Oh well...I guess it all must have happened very quickly. But I shall find out when I see
her this arvo.

No one probably cares about this, and I am sorry. But I felt the need to share.

Also, the weather tomorrow is meant to be very bad and rainy. Possibly bad for the show?!

Tue, 19 Sep 2006 07:47:10 GMT

Also, sorry, I know I just posted.

But...I just went for a walk in the park. I was just sitting on a chair, contemplating life with my legs drawn up next to me on the seat. My shoes (thongs) were on the ground. AND THEN, this little beagle comes up. I say 'Oh, aren't you cute'. Yes I do tend to talk to animals as people. And I don't care if this is weird (Jody thinks so). Anyway, he looks up at me, wags his tail and then proceedes to pee on my shoes! I ask you, in what language/culture is that a sign of respect or friendship?

Tue, 19 Sep 2006 07:41:33 GMT

Hello all,

I am finally surfacing from my lone-er-ness.
Last Wednesday I had my wisdom teeth out. All four.
And I had that bit of skin between my lip and gum (you know, those bits at the front) cut too.
So for the last week I have been in much pain and haven't really been able to talk, smile or eat.
I don't know how others who have had this done (ie Kate) survived so well.
Oh well, maybe I am just a pathetic precious flower.
However...all complaining aside. I can now adequatley smile and talk. And eating is getting better.
Still very slow and annoying through. Did you know how many things you can mush up? Its amazing!

So everyone, I am back on the radar!

Guess what? In one of my first outings into the real world for a week. I went to the Salvos in Camberwell this AM.
And I bought the best pair of shoes. They looked like they had never been worn, and they were my size.
Yay. They were only $8.50, so I thought bargain!

Also, what is with today's weather. Too hot! Not prepared. I can only deal with heat when it is offically labelled as 'Summer'.

Tue, 12 Sep 2006 05:57:32 GMT

Hey Jody and Jemma (sorry everyone else)

That girl from last night (on SVU) was from mean girls. She was the dumb one.
And also, I looked up Sandra Oh. She was once on Six Feet Under.
She didn't even get a character name. All she was called was 'Porn Starlet'.
How embarassing.

Fri, 11 Aug 2006 22:58:15 GMT

Hello All. I am now at work and so have time to update. And just so you know Jody, my dad couldn't fill in the census either. For example:
-Apparently I travelled to work by train on Tuesday and my mum went by car. Do you know that neither of us actually worked on Tuesday?!
-Then there was the confusing issue of if you answered no to question 46, proceed directly to question 48. He of course filled in 47!

It must be an age related father problem.

Also, I just got a laptop. Its quite pretty. Not very sophisticated or anything, but it does what I need it to. Basically it just means that I can use a computer when I want to and I don't have to fight over it with my father!

I am going to have a bad day. I have to babysit for 11 hours today! 11! Thats way too much. I really have to get all the info before I say yes to these people.

I hope everyone is going to have a nice weekend. And I hope we win netball today, even without my wonderful skills to help you out.

Tue, 18 Jul 2006 07:16:19 GMT

I am so bored! I understand your pain now sarah. I am sitting in an empty ward, with nothing to do except filing. A skill at which I am now very accomplished. There is just noone here.
Only 4 hours, 49 minutes to go. Also, this morning I watched the special features on the Harry Potter 4 DVD. It was amusing. Krum doesn't really have an accent in real life. And Cedric is an idiot in real life.

Sat, 15 Jul 2006 00:49:08 GMT

Hello all. I must apologise for my slackness in updating. I am sure you have survived though. It must be nice being on holidays. (wistful sigh)

Also, yay! I am very pleased. I passed all my exams. Ok, not particularly well, but at least I passed, which I was not expecting.

And guess what?! I delivered babies this week. It was so fun. And they are so slippery. Its really hard to grab them. I never realised how easy it is to drop them. So far however, I haven't given any baby brain damage. (touch wood). I also delivered a 16 year old's baby yesterday. It is so weird. She is 3 years younger than me. And she is only just 16 too. She was 15 when she got pregnant. She was so lovely though. It is so sad.

Tue, 20 Jun 2006 07:44:24 GMT

YAY! I am officially finished exams! Life is great.

Thu, 15 Jun 2006 07:46:22 GMT

Hello all. You will be pleased to note that my exam was not as bad as expected.
Also, I am now sick, possibly from all the stress.
Also, Jemma, as you may notice by this post, I am not at work.
Do you think they will notice my absence. I rang this morning and just booked a shift for Sunday, with you. I thought there is no point booking a shift for today, and then calling up sick a few hours later. I hope I don't get in trouble.
Another exam tommorrow. How annoying. Good luck for those people doing genetics. How I pity you.

Also another random thing. On 774 ABC this morning (my mum was listening not me), they were talking about call centres. And very helpfully John Faine suggested that people just say to us, "hold on one moment while I find someone who is able to speak with you". And then they just put the phone down and walk off. Now everyone will do this to us. Someone did it to me last night in fact. I was left sitting there, aimlessly, for ten minutes, before I realised noone was coming back! I know we are annoying, however, people don't have to play tricks on us. Simply say you are not interested. I am just pissed off at John Faine for telling everyone in Melbourne how to annoy us the most.

Tue, 13 Jun 2006 10:18:40 GMT

I am officially stressed. I have an exam tomorrow for which I am totally not as prepared as I should be. Also it is stupid, so I have no desire to learn anything. Dont you hate that. You know it is important and you will fail if you don't study, but as soon as you open the book, you are so bored that you want to die. Well that is how I feel anyway. I have to know all these studip drug names and what they do, and their side effects and how they all interact. I can't even spell half of them. How will I pass? Any also, why should I have to know them. No one in the real world does. Not even doctors. We can just look them up when we need to. Plus they change all the damn time.

Sorry about that. I just had to rant. But I feel better now.

On to happier things. I probably have to get my wisdom teeth out. It seemed so much more exciting when it was Kate going under the knife rather than me. Now it just seems painful. Hopefully i will look as good as Kate did though. No swelling or anything hardly. Its not for a little while at least. I couldn't get an appointment with the surgeon till the first week of next semester. So at least these holidays aren't ruined. Maybe the midsemester break. we will see. Jody and I might go and be puffy faced together. That would be funny. Not sure I want to share my painful drooling experience with anyone else though.
