I have changed my layout to a lovely Doctor Who one, made by the very talented 99-hearts.. lj hates me and won't let me put a link to her name, sorry! 

Thankyou very much! this layout is beautiful, just perfect.

Now I need to go on a "perfect Doctor Who" icons hunt and remember who to credit etc.. should be fun.

I also have to announce-- as I did in my last entry, but that was a flocked one, and this will probably be my last public one-- that I want to be friends only from now on. I've just had a few problems recently and it's made me realise that well, just anyone can look at my stuff and read my private stuf! so if you read this, feel free to add me as a friend or if you do'nt have an account, get one and add me! But yeah.. friends only from now on.

Go to gettyimages, editorial and enter "Sweeney Todd" in the search. Then revel in the two wonderful pages of the glorious Opera Australia production! yay!!!! :D:D

There is my orchestra playing Pirates of the Carribean. I posted it on a few message boards and that but I thought I'd put it in my journal too. I hope you guys enjoy it. I'm quite proud of it. That was recorded last September.

Also, I totally met the love of my life the other day. haha. Joking of course, but this guy WAS amazing I must say. So good looking and gentlemanly. We walked into the Penrith Plaza (local shopping centre) the other day and there we bump into our friend Father Rizzo and he's sitting with this good looking guy who looks about 18 or so. He introduces the boy to us as Matthew and immediately says "Matthew is joining the seminary next month" Ugh. I couldn't believe it. Good looking guys like him shouldn't become priests! Matthew should marry someone.. (i.e. ME!) and have lots of beautiful babies. I chatted to him for a few minutes and he was so nice. He works in Penrith Big W. So today mum and I are in there again today looking for a dvd we wanted and there's Matthew. He saw me and we kept going over to say hi to each other and he keeps being distracted by a customer. In the end we had to go because we were off to our friends house. Before I even got to say hi. Haha. Oh well! it's a bit useless if he's becoming a priest but gah, he is SOOOO gorgeous.

Well, that is my little "love-of-my-life" story. :P

I"m so tired. We went to our friends house but they only have little kids so I watched Foxtel nearly all day. Mother and Son is a very funny show.

Tony at work showed us a joke he received in an email today. I can't remember the exact wording but this is the gist of it.

A teacher asks her class of 8 year old students what their fathers do for jobs. She gets the usual answers-- lawyer, policeman, doctor, fireman. One boy stands up and says this- "my dad works in a gay bar as a dancer. He strips for all the gay men and sometimes he'll take one to a hotel room and if they pay him enough he'll sleep with them."

The teacher looks shocked and takes the little boy aside, asking him if it was true what his father did. He says "no, my father really plays for the England cricket team but I was too embarassed to say so."

For all non English or Australians, that joke is referring to Englands recent embarassing 5-0 series loss to Australia in the Ashes. And right now they're embarassing themselves even more in the 20-20 game. 

Speaking of the Ashes Victory.....





Yessssssssss. Victory is sweet.

thanks to the marvellous lj user southoffebruary, I have some songs of David. Singing O Holy Night, and two versions of his magnificent Holy City.

Today we went to Bents Basin, for boxing day. it was so nice, going on a picnic and swimming. I kept mushing sand in Troy's hair, so he did it to me too. meanie. I have sand all through it now. I love swimming in lakes and creeks. it's so much funner than pools. Troy kept lifting the twins up on his shoulders and they would flip off, because they do gymnastics. I'm so jealous of how athletic they are!! they can do handstands and somersaults and everything. I was so untalented when I was their age. all I did was a bit of ballet, which I had to quit because the lessons were changed to inconvenient times.

Anyway, Christmas was nice in the end. we had presents, Christmas lunch, and pinata. The my sister Gen and I watched three Doris Day romantic comedies. Pillow Talk, That Touch of Mink and Lover Come Back. Pillow Talk and Lover Come Back were both the movies that Down With Love was based on, they both had storylines basically the same. They were all HILARIOUS. and let's just say.. I'm kind of love with Rock Hudson now. What a pity he was gay. And probably either dead or an old man by now. I think I'd like to go back in time, turn him straight, and marry him.We get the first dvd of Anne of Green Gables so I watched the best bits of that. Mum got the new Pride and Prej for a present so I watched that at about midnight. I have to say, I really don't like it. I thought I'd like it more if I watched it again, but I just can't. There are certainly some nice bits, but in general the acting and scripting and historical accurateness is just so wrong that it pisses me off. But anyway.

So finally, what I got. I got a sewing machine (?!) which should be interesting as I can't sew.. time to learn I guess. Two gorgeous new dresses.  A lovely new blouse, and sewing things. A beautiful fresh water pearl necklace. A silver handbag. That was all from mum and dad. Then from my friend Rachel i got this gorgeous set of necklace, earrings, watch and bracelet, it is so pretty. I said loudly in my dad's hearing "now I need to get my ears pierced so I can wear these." (dad disapproves of ear piercing, or piercing of any kind.) and dad goes "sure, let me just get a rusty nail to do it for you." lol.

and then loads of chocolates and lots of presents that went to the family in general like dvds and that. We got a good dvd of the Gondoliers with a 27 year old David Hobson- we hvae a really old scratchy tape of it but as it's on it's last legs Gen got a new one for the family. now to watch David perform "Take a pair of sparkling eyes" to my hearts content, and imagine Kanen Breen singing it.... *sigh*

which brings me to the opera gala on christmas eve. I was so disappointed- it said in the tv guide "with Anthony Warlow" but he was only presenting, not singing. Grrr, how could they do that? His speaking voice is lovely but I wanted singing thankyouverymuch! however the other stuff was lovely. Warwick Fyfe performed, as did Tiffany, Natalie Jones, Henry Choo and Kanen Breen. And ARGH. Kanen. was. hot. I never quite realised how hot he is before. But he's hot. mmmm. oh Emma Matthews performed too, she was great. Such a pretty voice.

Now I must dash as my sisters and I are off to see the Holiday. Yay for chick flicks!!
