Welcome back to 'Nothing's Happening in the World of Carlie'!
That's pretty much the truth. Nothing is happening. Last week I went for 2 job interviews, one for promotions, another for insurance customer service - neither went well.
-Encouraging, no!
Had a fun weekend, have been doing some more trip research. Socialised a little. Shopped some.
-That's about it.
Monday was the Tony Awards. That was a lot of fun. Sean Hayes of Will and Grace fame (currently starring in Promises, Promises with Kristin Chenoweth) was hosting, which meant Kristin was involved a lot. She kept popping up which was nice. -I swear they should get her to host next year! She'd be a hoot! That one thing she does (which I won't mention specifically for the benefit for those who have not yet seen it), was one of the most awesome things ever, and fantastically accomplished!
Plus you can't go wrong with so many other awesome people presenting, and Lea Michele and Matthew Morrison from Glee performing!
- Although they are originally broadway people, and sang broadway musical songs, it was still kinda weird for them to be there performing. -Presenting would have been no issue. But like I'd ever actually say NO to Lea Michele singing!
I love that there is now a mandatory awards show for me to watch in the middle of the year now. -I mean I know the Tony's have always been there....I just never really had a reason to watch them. I think the first one I saw was when Hugh Jackman was hosting in 2004...I watched cause of him, and that was my first exposure to Wicked and Kristin Chenoweth funnily enough. -Oh if only I had known.
Then I watched 2 years ago, cause I heard the original cast of RENT - including Idina Menzel were going to be there, and Whoopi Goldberg was hosting. Then I watched last year cause Neil Patrick Harris was hosting - and Allison Janney, the GREAT AMAZING AWESOME Allison Janney was nominated! Now it is just mandatory viewing!
Looking forward to next year's ones already :P

Finale Season = Slow Real Life Blogging
So its been a whole month since I've blogged about anything but TV....but can you expect at this time of year, we all know I watch A LOT of TV shows, and so I've been busy with some pretty big finales.
Also, I honestly haven't been up to a whole lot. This past weekend being an exception. I'm still looking for work, they tell you its hard, but not THIS hard....Starting to wonder why I even bothered going to uni at all....seems it would have been easier to get a job if I'd just stopped at high school! - My optimistic outlook is slowly dying, can you tell?
What have I been up to you ask? Well....mostly its job hunting and trip research these days. I had a few interviews recently, one turned out to be a complete waste - I know they bring you in on the slim chance you wow them....but they clearly had no intention of hiring me.
Jacinta finally got back from her trip. We spent 2 days going through her photos, and souveniers. -She bought me some lovely pressies. Then last week she came over and we watched some quality SNL. I had a cold, so wasn't up for much else. I've had this cold all week, and it's slowly going away, at least I could get a decent sleep after a couple of days. I'm pretty much back to normal except for my nose running occaisionally.
We've been doing some group activities lately, which is nice. -I start to miss the gang after a while. We had the LOST night, dinner before that, then Ness' birthday dinner on Friday night. I had a whole new Century City experience, coming from the other direction, instead of Jacinta's direction.-It messed with my head!
Then we had lots of chocolate for dessert from Max Brenner's. The chocolate shot is to die for! Liquid choc, popping candy, white choc baby buttons, and gummi bears - YUM-EEEEEEEE!!! I also had a bald choc truffle head thing, it was amazing!
The rest of the weekend was spent watching tv, and doing trip research, we are getting somewhere, but things depend on a couple of factors. Then it was over to Ness' family's for dinner. - Which it was very nice of them to invite me!
Holy crap! I just forgot about the weekend before's activities!....I mean, what's crazier than going to Sydney and back in a day! Yep. Ness and I decided to go up to Sydney last Sunday to see Rob Mills' last performance of Wicked. We caught a plane at 9am, and spent the day looking at the shops, and planning trip stuff in Starbucks, before heading over to the theatre. I was great show and I was glad to be there. I was glad to see Jemma again, she's awesome! Her 'No Good Deed' might be her best song! It gives me chills! It was also interesting to see the new Nessa-Rose. She was okay, but I think Penny was just better. She had the singing and voices down pat. -Oh and for the first time in my theater history, a phone went off during the show! How rude! and it rang a 2nd time too! They suck!
After the show, we went back to the airport on the train, and browsed the airport shops and got some dinner. The plane was delayed, so we left about half an hour later than planned, but that was ok with us. We spent both flights (up and back) watching Glee clips, and the Janel Moloney and Sarah Paulson Puppy Love episodes on my iPod. Then it was back home again....and our crazy hazy day was over. -You only live once. -But my Mum doesn't know I went. Not that she HAS to, but it felt weird...I fear she would judge me.
Today I watched the Tony Awards. LOVED them. I've become very much a Theatre Geek. Although to be fair, I knew just as many from TV or Movies as I do from general theatre work.
Keep on Keeping on.
