3:03am

I thought my assignment was due on the 29th of April.

It was actually due on the 26th.

It was submitted on the 27th. That is why I am posting at 3:03am.

I shall now go to sleep in order to be able to concentrate in my tech theatre sound prac tomorrow.

XLR....balanced line....pre fader listen.......auxilliary.....foldback.....feedback....graphic EQ.........channel strip.....Left and Right faders.........gain pots.........speakers, amplifiers and things blowing up...........these shall all be in my dreams tonight.

You know those times when you sit in front of your computer to write something brilliant, and you just....have.....nothing?

This is one of those times.

However, for the sake of my reading public, I shall press on.

I think I like working with shadows - that's what we're doing for our next performance at uni. It's really good - I may look into further shadow work.

This is starting to sound like a personal diary, not like the blog I intended it to be.

So I'll say goodnight before I start with the whole, "Dear Diary, today I got on the bus and there was this woman and she was talking SO LOUD!"

Yeah, definitely time to go.

A funny thing happened to me today...

If you've ever been to a university, you know that graffiti in the toilets is nothing new.

In one of the toilets at QUT there is a little comment written on the wall about everyone else's comments, and it said, "You have all these opinions, but you don't have the guts to express them outside the toilets!"

There was a comment from somebody else next to it that read - "I just about died of an attack of irony."

Acknowledging my friend

Yes Kiri, you are the one and only person who pointed out that the sign on the bus said 'sell your car for free'. I hope you got a good car!!

:-D

Send me a comment

if you read this blog somewhat regularly.

In the spirit of the $9 cars on Carpoint.com

My friend told me she saw a sign on a bus the other day: "Sell your car for free".




*Something I've just realised is that you can go back and edit posts, which means that the 'Correction' post and the comment on the post below that are completely and entirely irrelevant. Which means this one is too. Why didn't I just go and EDIT? I have now embarrassed myself twice over........but it was for your entertainment, so I hope you enjoyed it. Thank you.*

Correction

The post I put up yesterday is there. I just did not see it. Wow, I've just embarrassed myself in front of the entire Internet. Or at least 4-ish people, anyway.

Yay :-)

I thought I created a post yesterday!!!!!

And it's not here today....hmmm........

Anyway, another ridiculous thing I came across for your entertainment.

I don't know if any of you (yes, I'm talking to all 4 of you who regularly read my blog!! maybe it's not even that many.....) have heard of the book Men are From Mars, Women are From Venus. This is a similar book, by the same author, called Mars and Venus on a Date. It's not meant to be funny.....but some of it is.

Ladies, check this out: here is how to 'juice up' a compliment for a man (what kind of terminology is that?!).

Say he gives you flowers. Instead of simply saying, "I love these flowers" (or something similar), you can say

These flowers are so nice, I love them.
These flowers are very nice, I love them.
These flowers are really nice, I love them.
Flowers are always nice, I love them.
These are such nice flowers, I love them.
These flowers are such a nice gift, I love them very much.

Hmmm.....I thought the point was to express appreciation for the flowers, not to the flowers!

But don't worry men.....you didn't miss out! There are tips in here about giving compliments to women too - they say it is a good idea to follow a compliment with a question. A couple of examples:

"I really like your shoes; they match your belt perfectly. Are they comfortable?"

and

"You look so healthy and radiant. How much do you work out?"

Okay, so maybe I'm being too harsh. I know it's only meant to be an example.....but still.

Anyway, this book is by John Gray (and he has a PhD, incidentally, so I guess he knows what he's talking about!) While I laughed at some of this book and disagreed with other parts of it, overall it is pretty good.

A weird/funny thing I saw the other night:

A sign outside a florist shop: 'Get married for $699'.

I'm sorry, but if I was getting paid to get married, I'd want at least $700.

:-p
