Barack Obama ILoveYou
Woah.
How dusty and old is my LJ? Seriously, I will pay anyone (in Flinstone's currency) who can jazz it up for me (and maybe put a more recent picture as that pic was taken in Sydney).
How is everyone this lovely November? This neck of the woods is grey but it's 07:49am and I am up on t'internet at a place called Joe's Garage...and the lovely waitress has just brought me my semolina (? - hey this porridge is oatless) porridge!!
Melbourne is, in the words of Alice from Vicar of Dibley - "Brillo-pads". Claire's mum has just flown in and they've flown out to Sydney this morning which is why I am up and about and topping myself up with caffeine before work (even though I don't start 'til 10). They are going to have a "girly weekend".
I'm working at the Royal Children's Hospital and really earning my karmic points because I'm in a department (not a ward thank God) that help the kids and their families in the community. I know I shouldn't be pointing out re: karma et al but whatever, I think I am in Buddha's black book as my friend Abbey and I thought it was a good idea to rub his belly on Melbourne Cup day (my first time betting in a TAB - I was temporarily addicted until after the race when I didn't win anything). Anyhow, I help admin and am surrounded by lovely nurses who teach me what various diseases (obstructive sleep apnoea) are and what medications do (daily teico, fluclox). They have started to call me "Radar" at work in reference to some guy from M*A*S*H but I've never watched that show and the only radar I know is the "gaydar" and Britney Spears' "..on my radar, on my radar..".
It's not what I wanted to get into but it's good pay and a nice environment. I did manage to find myself on a shoot though (thanks to a nurse at work) which - HIP HIP HOORAY - was a short film about LESBIANS. I didn't know at first but then I was sent the callsheet and it was all girl characters and everyone was sleeping with everyone else. It sounded like a porn film - I was a bit "worried" =P It didn't end up being a porn film as there were no "jizz moppers" on set (ew). I've never seen acting-kissing before. It's quite sloppy. It was only for one day but I managed to make some contacts which is tops.
But lots of things have happened since then; Watching a Burlesque show...a Night of the Devil Zombies show for the Melbourne Fringe festival...Northcote High Vibes festival where I think I started swinging on the hand holding things in the tram (like on that Hanson video clip) on the way home...Little Birdy gig...random folk/country gigs...the Village festival at edinburgh Gardens last night (now they're proper PROPER "carnies") and so much, so much drinking.
I think I will have to swing home before work. So I'll sign off now. I hope you're all doing well with uni/work/life/love/everything. I do miss the sports on Sundays.
Peace out
(Prop 8 has been passed in California - bastards - I wanted to get married in Disneyland =P)
