Wai, Palya?

Trevor Jamieson

Went to the Belvoir St. Theatre tonight to see Ngapartji Ngapartji. In this intensely moving story of his family, spinifex man and master storyteller Trevor Jamieson weaves a powerful global narrative in his native tongue Pitjantjatjara. The tale of one family's displacement from the South Australian desert set against the epic sweep of the Cold War, Ngapartji Ngapartji is a passionate and stirring piece of theatre. See the Sydney Festival 2008 and the Company B websites for more info. It brought me to tears...

  


Could be considered a spending spree... perish the thought! 

Last week, Lily, my mom and I went shopping. Can't remember exactly what for (could have been to get an aircon break as it's been damn hot and humid here) but I came across a big DVD sale. Oh, , I must have been channeling you and your bargain bins! Anyway, I found the first three seasons of Without A Trace for $14 each! The slimcases too! So my mom picked them up for me. Birthday's in February so that's that sorted. :D

Today I took Lily to another shopping mall (same reason as last week - gets expensive this warm weather!) and wandered in JB HiFi, as you do. They had this 20% discount on all DVDs. No exception. So guess what. I got myself a copy of Shoot 'Em Up. I'm so annoyed it never made it to the screen here, dammit! I just have to see it. And would have done so tonight, had I not been going to the theatre.

And while  was there, I spotted that the Babylon 5 season box sets were still at $24.98. Now I have to admit that I've been looking at those for a long, long time. Back when they were close to a 100 bucks each. So anyway, down to near 25 with an extra 20% off, I couldn't resist. I picked up seasons 3 and 4, my favourites. Hopefully, hubby won't have a heart attack when he finds out.

Oh, and I had a lovely refreshing drink tonight: Lemon, Lime and Bitters. On ice.

Album Cover meme

As seen at '  LJ:

Instructions:

1. Go to: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Random
The first article title on the page is the name of your band.

2. Then go to: http://www.quotationspage.com/random.php3
The last four words of the very last quote is the title of your album.

3. And lastly, go to: http://www.flickr.com/explore/interesting/7days/
The third picture, no matter what it is, will be your album cover.

Then you go and make it. :D

Here's mine:

One dodo left

Just a quick post before I forget...

Went to see PS I Love You with my mom on Thursday. Nice chick flick and a good choice for my mom, even if I had to translate half the jokes for her. :)



And came across this last night while looking for something else. Who can say no to Rick O'Connell?

Brendan Fraser reprises his role for The Mummy 3


The second movie was bad, and with Rachel Weisz bailing out, I'm not holding much hope. But my dear John Hannah is coming back, and Maria Bello, Jet Li and Michelle Yeoh joined the ball, so I'm wondering just how bad the third one can really get. Rob Cohen has a little weblog about the movie and the shoot and all that jazz here.

My mom is catching a plane home tomorrow after five weeks with us. It is a sad day.

Ben voyons

It shows that I left Quebec a while ago... Earlier this evening I got an e-mail from my father, wishing us Happy New Year. And in the message, he joined a .pps about the forthcoming 400 years of Quebec. That bit, I knew about. But the music that graced the presentation? Well, I wasn't acquainted with. Had to do some research and it turns out it's a band called Mes Aïeux and the track is Dégénération. I simply love it. Now I need to go home to get my hands on their albums.

Found it on YouTube...

How was everybody's 1st day of the year? It's already over and done with here but I bet most of you are still smack bang in it. Just had a swim at quarter to midnight. The weather's nice. The water's fine. Loads of stars above us, and, after a quick shower, I bid you goodnight.
