I've Seen Pirates 3

This movie fucking rocks.... confusing, yes, but it's a daring example of how rich a movie can be. This is the ultimate way of finishing a trilogy... this ranks up there with "Return of the King". This is a movie that'll reward you on every showing - you'll find more depth to all the characters, especially when you watch the first and second movie again.

I'm seeing it again on Monday :)

Leonardo Walks on Water!!

Just had to share this cute piccy of my puppy, Leonardo, apparently walking on water.... may he save our souls :)

Meet Leonardo!

Leo's our new, 2yr old beagle... this is my first time owning a dog and I couldn't ask for a better dog really. Besides being really cute, he doesn't bark alot and seems to obey most of the time.... he does love attention tho :P Let me know what you all think!

I Saw Kylie!!

Went to the concert on Friday night and it was awesome... screamed myself hoarse. Kylie really knows how to put on a show for her gay fans... the dancers were hot, especially when they were showering on stage... hot shit!!

The hotest guy was the one above, who did an incredible dance/acrobatic strip-tease... if anyone can find better photos, or any info about him, please leave comments :)

BTW, Kylie's voice was amazing and was helped by the fact she wasn't dancing as much as usually does in her concerts.

Moving!!!!

If you're wondering why it has been a little quiet around here, I've spent the last week moving into my new home!! This time was a trouble free move, due to the fact we were pretty organised... it just took alot longer than we thought. Who knew we had soooo much stuff. Things weren't helped by the fact that we had limited moving hours at the unit, we couldn't park the truck in the unit's carpark, which made for extra travelling distance just to get the stuff from the unit to the lift and then from the lift to the truck. It was taking us 2 hrs to load the truck and 1/2 an hr to unload at the house.

But we're here now, and all settled... still unpacking tho.

My New House!!!

On a personal note... I've been a little slack posting as I've been furiously looking for a house... not to rent, but to buy! After a couple of months hard work, including a couple a deals that fell thru, finally found a great house at a great price. For those who know Brisbane, I'm moving from the city out to the bayside suburb of Wynnum. I was starting to get sick of the city... it can be a real drain after 6 years... hopefully this will be a more relaxed lifestyle for me. Only 20 or so days until we move!!

I've Seen Judith Lucy

I was lucky enough to attend the last Brisbane show of "I Failed!", Judith's one women show. And I truly haven't laughed that hard or long ever.... the laughs kept on coming for the entire 1 1/2 hour run time. I've always loved her dry sense of humour, and she is particularly good in the movie "Bad Eggs". I still remember the one time when she was on the Martin/Molly radio show. I was in the car with my mother and Judith started talking about plastic surgery...

For your vagina....
At 5:30 pm....
On national radio....

Needless to say, my mum was horrified.
Been a big fan ever since.
If you can catch this show, you won't regret it.

Fraser Island

I'll be on holidays camping at the beautiful Fraser Island for a week.... no chance of updating, a nice quiet escape away from the city.

See you all in a week with lotsa photos!

Happy Birthday Gordy!!!

Happy 26th birthday sweetie!!!

Birthday celebrations kicked off last night when we went for drinks at 5pm... got a bit tipsy and made the mistake of going for dinner at a place nearby called "Plan B"... cheap food and not the best either.... definately not recommended. I had the fisherman's basket which had a thin strip of battered fish, two calamari rings, one prawn and a couple of fish bites... all put on a pile of soggy chips. Not the best food I'd ever had, especially for $13.... oh, it included a tiny side salad :(
Gordy had beef lasagne which gave him an upset tummy for the rest of the night.... after food, we went to the Sportsman's Hotel in Spring Hill. We both haven't been there for years and years, so it was a bit of a culture shock to say the least. A very different crowd than what we're used to, not a bad thing tho. We didn't stay long however, Gordy's tummy was playing up, so we decided to leave. On the way out we ran into the head security guard of the Myer Centre where I work.... I had no idea he did security at a gay bar on the weekends. Gordy embarassed me by asking if downstairs (called the "Mineshaft") had a cover charge. The Mineshaft has a backroom... so Gordy dragged me downstairs and then I chickened out... all in front of this security guard... I'm so going to cop shit from this at work.

Today we went for a nice relaxing drive out Cleveland way to Victoria Point for lunch... have to go out to some of the islands in the bay there one day.

Sunset

Perfect end to a perfect day....

Ended up going up to the Sunshine coast hinterland with my boyfriend... ended up at the Eumundi Markets.... absolutely huge, its on twice a week and absolutely takes over the town. I'm sure that's what keeps the town alive and prosperous. It's amazing to see such creativity in a small town, highly recommend it. www.eumundimarkets.com.au
Almost bought a helm of Elendil... very well done, except it was completely rusted, no sure if it was supposed to be like that or not. The guy had a heap of swords there as well, quite a few LOTR replica's ... very well done, maybe not quite film accurate, but you could see the talent that went into them.

For lunch, went to nearby Maleny... found this nice coffee shop called "Maple 3"... nice simple food, and great to sit down after all that wandering. I love this part of the world, up in the ranges, beautiful views... almost like the Shire... except higher and you can just see the ocean on the horizon :)

All in all a great day, especially seeing tho St. Pat's day for me was a bit of a right-off. Was going to go drinking with a few work mates, one had to work unfortunately, the other bailed half-way through. I did get my first taste of Guinness tho... nice when cold, horrid aftertaste. Ended up drinking by myself at my local, the Wickham. Got pretty trashed, so not a complete waste of a day.

Big Gay Day!!!

Had the best time yesterday at Big Gay Day... didn't quite get off my tits, but an enjoyable day was had none-the-less :)

For those who don't know, Big Gay Day is Brisbane big party the week after Sydney's famous Mardi Gra. Alot of party goers travel up to Noosa, and then drop back into Brisbane for one final party before going home. The crowd this year was huge, as the main act was the Rouge Traders. http://my.toast.com.au/2005/10/natalie-bassingthwaighte-from-rouge.html

The atmosphere was electric with approx 15 thousand people packed into the small streets surrounding my local pub, the Wickham... it was definately a day to celebrate :)

The First Post!!

Finally got around to getting a blog, hopefully something I can use to organise my thoughts and any little projects I have going at any one moment.... and something I hope everyone else will find interesting. Welcome to my little spot on the web.... :)
