'URGH' she urghed

So yesterday I lost my laptop.

 

Very unhappy. Mainly because I lost a lot of photos that I hadn't yet uploaded or printed to put in albums. So I am using the library's computers (with only 2 hours a day which is crazy but kinda good for me) until I go back to Canberra on Monday to get my old laptop.

 

Oh well. You win some, you lose a laptop.

 

In other less urgh news, I watched the final episode of Ja'mie this morning on iview and I am so glad that it ended the way it did.

 

***SPOILERS***

 

If it had ended when she had turned her back on Africa and chose Mitchell, I think that would have been an accurate portrayal of the private school girl and a fantastic ending. But it was good that they didn't change MUCH at public school. I also enjoyed topless Ja'mie. Chris Lilley has a fantastic bod. Other than that, I am very sad that it is over and hoping for more Chris Lilley soon.

 

Actually, funny story, yesterday I was really upset about losing my laptop so I decided I would buy a set-top box so that I could set up my TV and watch Ja'mie at home. When I got home I realised I didn't have an antenna and I was like "for poop's sake' so I went back to the shops to get an antenna. Then I got everything plugged in, and the only channels I could receive were SBS and NITV. Really, really bitch, really? And even then, the reception was so bad that I couldn't even watch SBS docos.

 

But my day wasn't all crap, I ended up going to this fantastic party that ended around 3am with me and another girl dancing in her empty living room lit by fairy lights to the Saturday Night Fever soundtrack on vinyl. SO. FREAKING. FABULOUS. Disco gets me in the groove. Oh, the Bee Gees... Another magical moment to note.

 

And also, my mum wants me to take her to the Lionel Richie and John Farnham concert in March. HAHAHAHA how awesome will that be? Very, you reply.

 

So until I get my laptop on Monday, adios.

Televisual Musings

So I finally finished Season 4 of Boardwalk Empire. The last TV show I watched before Boardwalk Empire was Rupaul's Drag Race, where I finished a season and its corresponding Untucked season in 2 days, and it consequently made me incredibly headache-y and sick and I had nightmares about being a contestant. Anyway, so I decided for Boardwalk Empire that I would pace myself and stop my horrible Binge-TV habit. So I watched about an episode a day, and I think that really helped with appreciating the show. Each episode is an hour long, so I felt like one episode was enough. I am really impressed by what HBO is doing at the moment, and Boardwalk Empire was just so phenomenal and the story and locations was so intertwined and complex and fantastic. So I have finished my first period drama. And what a good period too. I think I might read the book as well, seeing as its travelling/lounging by the beach/book reading season.

So because I finished Boardwalk Empire, I started watching Girls. OH MY GOD. OH MY GOD. It is so amazing. I finished the whole season 1 in a sitting, then I started looking for season 2 episodes. OH MY GOD. I don't think I have ever watched a TV show in which I can actually, like ACTUALLY relate to the characters in a realistic and meaningful way. The way they deal with situations and people and struggling with finding out who they are, THAT'S WHAT I'M DOING. SO AWESOME. I thought I wouldn't like it for some strange reason, I think some boys told me it was stupid, BUT BOYS ARE STUPID, GIRLS RULE, AND THE SHOW 'GIRLS' RULES.

Girls is now my new favourite show that is still continuing, replacing Community because Community is starting to depress me. Actually Community is #3 and Parks and Rec is #2. Yes.

In other news, if you're as big a fan of TV as I am and you live in Sydney, there is an art project that is commemorating the official shutdown of analog TV in Sydney, this coming Tuesday. One of the exhibitions is a performance art piece where 2 artists will watch EVERY EPISODE OF THE SIMPSONS whilst fasting. It will take them 8 days. I really want to go see it, or watch it online, because when I read the description I immediately thought 'i wanted to watch all the Simpsons episodes this holidays. Would it really have taken me 8 days? That's not a lot of time...' Is that crazy? Isn't it a lot of time? Maybe this performance art piece will change my mind. On the last day, when they end, they are having a tele_visuals breakfast, and I might go to that.

Finally, Ja'mie finishes tonight. I will probably rant about it tomorrow.

Until then, Adieu.

Psyfari

I finally got my photos scanned from Psyfari. This was my first Sydney doof and I went with my boyfriend and a friend from Canberra. Noticable difference between Sydney doofs and Canberra doofs is that there are more good looking folk at a Sydney doof. Just Sayin. But it was such a beautiful sight, in Australia's largest canyon (and the world's widest canyon), surrounded by mountains and cliffs. I took heaps of landscape shots at dawn, but they didn't develop (dang flabbit).

These are our Moonshine-dancing-happy-time faces.

Giant connect four and giant jenga on the dancefloor. So. Freaking. Good.

This is my favourite photo. Some of those dots in the background are cows, the others are people running towards the cows.
