So this is a test to see how many of my friends are still reading/doing this.

So STATE YOUR NAME BELOW IF YOU STILL EXIST.

thank you :P

Another film by yours truly :D

PS. Micah's back!

I'm such a livejournal lameo lately. It seems all I come online for lately is to thread on IJ (two different games, one real, one random fun with Ash :D) and chat to Adam on AIM.

Spending the whole holidays working and watching DVDs. Have had five Sundays off - the only five Sundays I'll have off until Christmas 2009. Was quite nice, but I have double Canterbury to look forward to this week. I miss Zoe and Caitrin and the others :(

Choir camp 16 Feb. No idea if I'm being given accomodation or what. If so no idea how I will check/change my timetable...

Dramas at work complicating matters. Got to see Annabelle Rosie and Sian twice last week though. Was awesome :)

Turned 20 Friday before last and went to see Wicked! Was cool.

So I've been lazy this season and just watched the show, occasionally ranting about it to Zoe or Adam and even some other people at work. However, since watching the conclusion to the Volume last night, I feel the need for some more public reviewition.

( Spoilers for all of Volume 3: Villians )

I am sick. Sick like a sick person. Sneezed and coughed all over everyone last night, called in sick today and am sitting around watching Buffy and pretending to write my design plan for Interactivity and the discussion leading notes for Friday and also my Writing for Real Essay and the music for DBT and the script schedule also. Meh.

 Haven't watched Buffy properly in a while. Why does The Prom always make me cry?

I never used to like talking about myself. My dad would make me and I'd be really embarassed. I guess I can sort of blame it on the seemingly endless job search I've been doing for 18 months... suddenly I seem to be talking about myself ALL THE TIME. Someone asks me a question and, after answering at length, I realise (usually too late) that it's probably polite to ask a similar question in return.

Captainess Self-Centered, much?

This Semester is going to be insane. The way work goes around my uni timetable, I am only going to be present at Tuesday and every other Saturday dinner at college. All the others I will either be too late for, have to have early dinner for due to choir, or just won't be here. This is somewhat depressing and will surely limit my social circle slightly. My dad, after two years of asking me every week whether or not I had found a job, has found something else to pick at - my social life. Apparently I do not have enough fun with other humanoid creatures. Well now that I'm working 20 hours a week with a 75 minute commute - it's not gonna happen!!

Probably shouldn't be complaining while I currently owe him about $1400. I have surprised myself by how quickly I've paid off the rest of my laptop money, but it's really only because the big softie is paying me $16/h to pressure wash the tennis court and paint Christmas Decorations. Unfortunately now that I'm no longer at home (most of the time), I have to siphon off my salary.

Just spent about fifteen minutes explaining my timetable to Zoe, which I guess shows how complicated it is. I also won't be able to make any JWAS screenings anymore thanks to work. Not that I'm not happy to be working - it means I'm doing a lot more with my time and getting valuable experience etc etc but BLEH.

Doctor Horrible is sadface.

Everyone.... it has happened.

The flaw in my magnificently awesome work-at-Officeworks plan has been inadvertantly discovered. And it is...

That I now work at a place that sells M&Ms.

*munch*


In other news, I've spent most of the last couple days squeeing over Dr Horrible :D It took me about 24 hours to watch the first episode because I couldn't get onto the main site, and then there was the whole intentional crisis, and then because my connection is so shite I had to wait for about four hours for it to load on the alternate site. And now I'm trying to watch part two, and having the same problems with the alternate site.

Times like this I wish I was back at college. Like, wow.


Also, for those internet addicts out there like me, there's The Guild. Awesome even if you don't know anything about WoW.

I've been extremely lax about updating for about a month... though this is mostly due to the fact that Noel had a total harddrive crash and became totally unusable very quickly, so I had to go through the process of finding a new computer, buying it (not done with that part yet, but if I donate all my pay for about three months...) and then getting used to Vista and the fingerprint recognition and the fact that the s and n keys continually come off, for some reason. New computer is a Toshiba Satellite A300/500 christened Starbuck (you can also blame Adam (and Zoe) for the Battlestar reference), and has 500gb space and 4gb RAM. Also an incredible dustcatcher. Need some dust caught? Ask Starbuck.

Also, I am extremely busy now that I have a JOB, at last. This is 100% due to Adam and also slightly in part to my Script class last semester, which even though it was useless in terms of life lessons and final marks, gave me an opportunity to vent my woes concerning unemployment and therefore forcing Adam to do something about it else my whining became too much.

Anyway, I'm now in training at Officeworks (although Ang said I don't have to use the 'in training' sign anymore, whoot!) and doing a LOT of shifts in between catching up with people and choir and all that stuff. Last week we had choir seven days in a row doing recording from 2-11 and concerts and well, it was full on. But now we just have to wait for the CD to come out and hopefully more people will come to said concerts. My god it was cold in both places. Our feet were barely walk-worthy after being frozen so often.

It's definitely the busiest holiday ever.

This is the film I directed this semester, for those who have not yet been subjected to it ;)

Had to take my laptop to the shop :( It was shutting itself down all the time for no reason and wouldn't stay alive long enough for me to reboot to factory settings, so so much for that plan :(

That means no laptop tomorrow night at college. I will be soooo looonelyyyy. How am I to cross-stitch without background visuals? I will go cross-eyed!

Oh well. So long as I nag the tv-room long enough to watch Battle of the Choirs.

Helped my dad out in the garden today. Felt like Biggest Loser contestent, hauling bricks and shovelling sand. Now my hands hurt :( But bracing and good exercise and lalala.

We're recruiting for new players and characters for the "next phase" of the former Veiled Intentions RPG, which is changing its name and re-launching as VISIBLE INFINITY.

Visible Infinity is a Harry Potter-based (HBP-compliant) game, taking place in London 3 years after Voldemort's fall, at a time when many people are trying to rebuild their lives after the war, but Lucius Malfoy is undermining the Ministry with terrorist attacks and rebuilding the Death Eaters to support blood purity. We are currently casting for new players to join the ranks.
( Read on for details on available characters and how to apply )
We look forward to hearing from you!

Yosh won't like this, but that's his problem, because it's not about him. Actually, if it's about anyone, it's about people like my Year 11 English teacher.

Three days to go, three poems left to write... I dunno.

So, depressingly, I was thinking last night about how this time last year we were all squeeing over Heroes 124 (How to Stop An Exploding Man) and how I haven't got to reveiw anything in ages because of the writer's strike and probably won't until September 15. So, to make myself feel better I'm going to reveiw some of the new shows that I've discovered/rediscovered/got into recently, and then in another post the Season finales of current shows. We'll see. ;)

1. Dexter

I watched 3 episodes of this earlier in the year and was a little confused and somewhat repulsed, so I gave up. But then I made the mistake of going to the cinema studies screening and watching episode 108 (Shrink Wrap). Suddenly I wanted to fill in the gaps, so I got on the network and watched all of Seasons 1&2 over 3 days. Despite the occasional grossness (which diminishes after the first few episodes) and the incredibly annoying narration of the main character, there's something about the main series plot of both seasons (but the first in particular) that makes you want to keep watching. It doesn't help that I had a sick fascination with serial killers in the first place. But there are no stand alone episodes and I think that's what makes you want to keep, keep, keep keep watching it. Ugh. Was up till 3am on the 3rd day ;)

( The Tudors, Never Mind the Buzzcocks, Reaper )

Hawt! :D

I went to the Hub convention for Serenity yesterday, with Annabelle ;) OMG the awesome.
