That must've been one of the wettest Show days ever, definitely the wettest I've been XD; But it was fun! Looked at the kitties, tried to look at the sheeps but they were being judged and were mostly roped off, diary tent~ which is always yummy, and spent most of the time in the TasteSA tent. It's basically full of various South Australian produce, olive oil, metwurst, fresh bread, dipping sauces, all that sort of deli-esque stuff. Sooo tasty X9
During the hour or so that it wasn't pissing with rain, we did the rides. Well, one ride three times. Techno Jump, which basically bounces you up and down going around in a circle. One of the few that doesn't go upside down OR make you sick. Much fun :D
Later on, the wind started picking up, too, so we bought our showbags and left around 6ish, since the fireworks were clearly not going to be on.
Instead~ we went to see Tomorrow, When the War Began which was just brilliant. And I now cut this so Cassie can spare herself the agony <3 God it was awesome. Admittedly I haven't read the book in about a decade, but I remembered most of it, and little bits made me remember specific paragraphs in the book, like how Ellie kept picking people up on their grammar, or when they all fell back from the shockwave of the explosions. I don't remember Robyn being quite as God-y as she was in the movie, but again, haven't read it in ages.
It was awesome~ <3 It was so slick you could almost forget it was an Aussie movie, until they did something that was so Aussie you'd never see it in Hollywood X3
Corrie: *reading a book*
Ellie: *looking over her shoulder* Good book?
Corrie: Yeah, better than the movie.
Ellie: *shrug* Yeah, books usually are.
I lolled. You'd never catch a serious American war movie poking fun at itself like that X3 And when they were all in Ellie's kitchen and found the phone had no dialtone, so all seven of them pulled out their mobiles to check for reception.
Suffice to say, if you have a chance to see this movie on the big screen? DO IT. DOOOO IIIIT.
LASTLY. Today~ I got my scanner and printer, woo~! Except the printer only came with one cable, the power supply. Waiting for a more tech savvy male to appear to find out if we have a spare... whatever it needs, or if I have to buy one. But yay, shiny new black things :DD
edit~ Success~ of sorts. We have a cable, it's just not a spare one. Need to buy one from Dick Smiths on Monday, but they're cheap as so that's okay. YAY PRINTER.
