De-stress Update

Not a lot going on lately...I've got 2 weeks left of holidays, then its back to uni, and then out into the semi-real world after that.

Other than watching a bunch of movies and tv...I haven't done a whole lot lately. Okay...So I did go shopping the other week, and manage to get a new jacket cheap -which was worth it anyways cause I've worn it heaps since. My search for kneehigh boots however was very unsuccessful.

Saw Jersey Boys a few weeks ago. LOVED IT!!!! We sat in the 2nd row, and even though spent most of the show looking up their noses, enjoyed every bit of it. They boys were excellent and kinda adorable...breaking character occaisionally during the extra long applauses. We also got 3 of them to sign our programs afterwards. -I've been listening to the soundtrack OVER and OVER again.

I'd also like to give an update on what is currently on my De-stress/sleepmix playlist.
1. Body and Soul - Billie Holiday
2. Bang Bang - Dizzy Gillespie
3. The Way You Look Tonight - Michael Buble
4. Wonderful Tonight - Michael Buble
5. Home - Michael Buble
6. White Horse - Taylor Swift
7. Love Story - Taylor Swift
8. The Best Day - Taylor Swift
9. Kissess and Cake - The P.S I Love You Score - John Powell
10. Way Back Into Love - Hugh Grant and Drew Barrymore (Music and Lyrics)
11. I'd Rather Be With You - Joshua Radin
12. Only You - Joshua Radin

Not a lot else to report....except..oh yeah. We got a brand new spanking tv. Very shiny..and I think I've finally figured out how it works properly....or at least what makes my dvds look the best.

Winter Cleaning!

So while checking my hotmail account today, I realised I had a heck of a lot of old emails lying around. So I started going through some of the old ones, and through the folders....some of the emails go all the way back to 2005. SCARY!

Here is what I have learned from reading some of them...

  • Ness and I were always this way...now we just have more frequent interaction (you know..in the real world)
  • We really did start watching Studio 60 because of Matthew Perry...and becaues Lauren was in it for a bit.....If she wasn't...we might not have started watching. SCARY
  • I seem to talk about Pop Tarts WAY too much :P
  • It took about 2 years...be Ness and I finally got ourselves organised in terms of being online at the same time...regularly
  • WHY oh WHY did I think it would be a good idea to tape over the emmy tapes?!
  • M&M's have always been the snackfood of choice for any group occaision
  • I don't think words did justice to how excited I was about 90210 coming out on dvd
  • Its funny when the reason to meet up with your friends is entirely based on discussing a TV show
  • Making up your own words...or using other people's made up words is fun...spectabulous- Will Smith said this on the Golden Globes red carpet arrivals and absotootley- one of the characters on Everwood made this up
  • Thank god for USBs....What a waste of time waiting for a full disc worth of episodes was!
  • GWOH! is never going to stop being funny....and is pretty much just as funny typed/written as it is heard.
  • 2 years later and I still don't think we've had a group trip to the Melbourne Zoo!
  • There are rules for TV shows...and can be found in most in way
    :1. The "in a box" or burried alive episode. 2. The hostage or quarantine episode, pretty much anything where the characters are forced to stay in the one room for the episode. 3. The trapped in a store overnight episode. Not as common but still a good one:) 4. Someone has a baby 5. There is a wedding
  • It is way too easy to rewatch Studio 60 over and over
  • The plan to stay away from The West Wing spoilers never really worked very well...

More to come!
