Darlings, You Were Wonderful - The very funny side of what goes on in the dressing room of an all women theatre group waiting to perform in a Drama Festival
Seaside Postcard <--- this is the one I'm in! - The hilarious goings-onn of a group of people at the seaside for their summer holiday

So anyway, I'm performing in this play! It's sort of a British slap-stick comedy, lots of smut and innuendo and whatnot, and I daresay it's coming along quite nicely. This is pretty much what I've been doing with myself outside of work for the past month or so, and I initially had misgivings about the play but I always do when observing a play in its embryonic stages... you just sit there and think about how much better everything could be. It's shaping up very nicely. Plus I get to kiss a girl! Like, five times! In conclusion, you should come see it.
The theatre's actually really easy to locate. Just go down Canning Highway until it splits off into all manner of different directions in Fremantle. That's precisely where you need to be! The theatre sort of looks like a church from the outside but rest assured that it's actually a theatre. It's near the Film and Television Institute if that's any help to y'all. Parking, on the other hand, is notoriously hard to locate. I'm afraid I can't really give you any pointers there, except maybe that you should take the train or something, unless you are some kind of Greek God of Parking, which would surprise me as I've played God of War, which is a pretty exhaustive summary of Greek religious life, and I'm quite sure there wasn't one of those.
Also, I've recently managed to get myself one of those Life Plan thingies that all the kids are raving about nowadays. Get this: Mechatronics Engineering. Giant robots and shit, yo. Well, not quite, but still! What I'd really like to do, I've decided, is go and do medicine, but that's not really possible right now. Mechatronics Engineering will preserve all I've already learnt about Electrical/Electronic, but conveniently cuts off right where it started getting tiresome. If I do especially awesome (that's the plan, anyway. I wrote it on a piece of paper! It says "Plan: Do especially awesome") I'd like to transfer into postgrad medicine, but that's expensive and I'll only do it if a scholarship is forthcoming.
The problem I've had in the past is that I never really had any goals when I went into electrical engineering. I didn't really want to do it for anything more than an academic exercise, so it's not terribly surprising that it all fell apart. Mechatronics seems like a perfect match, though. It's more diverse than electrical, I don't sit around analysing power waves and working out their constituent harmonics for hours on end and it's a progressive field with lots of potential. If my far-flung medicine plan doesn't end up coming through then I will at least have a degree in something interesting, and hell, maybe I can go into designing robotic limbs and have someone else provide all the medical knowledge while I sit around making things that could potentially kill the user (lead is poisonous? Who knew??).
Other, more immediate plans are to go to Europe mid-Novembery for a few months with Huw and go skiing in Austria, catch up with people I know who've gone to Uk, do some conciergin' over there to pay da billz then make it back just in time for uni.
And that's the plan! I'm feeling pretty good about all this.
