I’ll cry if I want to

Fortunately I don’t. Ha.

My 20th birthday party was on Saturday night. The theme was come dressed as a song. I was very impressed by the costumes and was surprised by how many people dressed up!

I dressed as a ‘red head senorita looking dead’ – a lyric from Icky Thump by The White Stripes. The depressing thing was that despite the thousands of layers of talcum powder I had put on to make myself look deadly pale, I still looked the same! Do I always look dead???

Also, I am now the proud owner of a pair of Ray Ban Wayfarers! I am so happy…maybe a little too happy.

Now I have sunnies ‘…for better hallway vision”!!!!!!!!!!

I also have $225 to spend at JB Hi-Fi. I have already made a list and will let you know what I bought tomorrow after I make the wonderful trip. Sigh.

My 64 is going well, except for the part where I can’t find the stupid switch so I can use a flying cap. However, my resolve is strong…I will figure this out for myself, even if it takes me days (Hey Jake, remember when we spent ages looking for the running shoes in Gobi’s Desert in Banjo Kazooie and they were in a really obvious place. Ha!).

Thanks to everyone who put in for these presents. They have made me very happy.

Let’s Go!

I saw ‘The Boat That Rocked’ the other day and have not stopped thinking about it from the moment I left the cinema.

It has added itself to the list of my favourite movies along side ‘The Breakfast Club’, ‘BBC Pride & Prejudice’, ‘The Royal Tennenbaums’ and ‘Star Wars V: The Empire Strikes Back’.

Brilliant music + English accents + fantastic costumes + British humor = a rather fantastic movie.

I was fortunate enough to watch it in an empty cinema so Kyla and I could dance like maniacs in peace and sigh loudly at the same time.

It was one of those movies where you could step into the screen and live there.

I should stop myself before I start gushing about the rebellion of rock music in the 60s. Ha.

I went and saw Arj Barker on Wednesday and while he was rather funny, it did remind me why I love British humor more than American. In all fairness though, he did make a few rather amusing font jokes. I wish ‘Sarcastica’ actually existed. Sigh.

I got a rather brilliant present from a bunch of my friends this year. My own Nintendo 64 with a bunch of games – including Mario Kart (!!!) and Super Mario (and I’m planning to do that without the walk through Jake :P). The controller is a bit dodgy (sorry guys!) and will only allow me to casually walk so I’m going to have to find a new one. But apart from that…HAPPY!

Just a quick note though to say how much I adore the Howling Bells. I wish I had her voice. I also wish I was lucky enough to have a cousin that would give me a free ticket to the V festival so I could see them live! Damn you Marita (not really, lol)!
