Pheoow.

What can be said about this past weekend? Maybe Happy Birthday Jessie, Happy Birthday Pete, Goodbye Soak and Hello to a world of drunkeness. I think that will suffice.

arrgh! 

Smiling at Strangers

I bought the new TZU album today and already I love it! Plus I got a bonus t-shirt to go with it. Can't go wrong there. Unless it's a boy t-shirt and baggy. "But you can just whip around it on the machine right?" well. right I could. But that sounds a bit like work, and if I actually buy, or get for free, clothes, I don't want to have to fix them. But i would do it for you tzu. Really is a great second album, branching out a little. Into a sort of music that i can really dig though, which is cool. It's not very often that when you like one bands kid of music, that they're e into another sort of music that you like, especially hiphoppers. They're all like "hip hop, yeah!" and stuff. So I"m going to go and see them again on Friday at the Ev. Haven't been to a gig there for ages either, so it should be fun.
I have a trivia question for you- "What biblically named pub in Fitzroy can be found directly opposite the 'labour in vain'?" (4,2,7)

Clearly it's the Perse right? Well not according to the letters 4 2 7. I have come up with Land of Promise, but clearly this place doesn't exist. I think the paper got it wrong, clearly they're not as cool as me, but if anyone is cooler than me and they know the answer let me know.

Punctuation is a funny thing isn't it. I have no idea how to use it, but I go through phases, such as now I love "quotation marks", just in case you hadn't noticed. I remember in grade 5 Ms. Turpin doing that verbal quotation mark business with her fingers. We all thought it was hilarious. Those boney alien fingers curling around the words. We also did philosophy in that class. I don't remember that. All I can envisage is sitting on our chairs in a circle, not at our desks. Now that's alternative thinking.

As well as buying a CD today I went to the physio, did half a day of work, donated blood and then just ate a whole lot of lasagne for Lena's birthday dinner. All in all a very productive day me thinks.

Avast!

Ahoy ye land lubbers! Today be International Talk Like A Pirate Day. And Nay, It ain't some blasted crazy idea We be comin' up with ourselves. There is some other piratous souls sailin' these seas with us who be sufferin' from the cabin fever. So polish your peg leg and darn your stripy socks. Arrr! We be on the search for pieces of eight and gold dubloons.

"We are ecstatic to announce the birth of our son! Everyone is happy, healthy and doing wonderful. Thank you for all your love and well wishes!!" the couple said in a statement posted on Spears' Web site.
And since Access Hollywood was the first to report the birth on Wednesday, it's only fitting we give you even more new details about Britney's baby!
Britney and Kevin have named their baby Sean Preston and he weighed in at 6 pounds, 11 ounces.
Britney arrived to the UCLA hospital at 5 a.m. on Wednesday morning under heavy police escort with husband Kevin by her side. About an hour and a half later, mom Lynne and lil' sister Jamie Lynn showed up.
As far as her hospital accommodations – how does $20,000 per night sound?
A source tells Access that in addition to the pop star's fifth floor $3,000/night room that has a tented balcony, her family and security team take up an additional seven rooms on the floor.
The source also said that the healthy baby boy was born at 12:57 p.m. and that Britney's C-section scar is very small and very low.
Britney also has a private chef in a kitchen adjacent to her hospital suite that is there to make whatever she requests.
The rest of Britney's baby breakdown – Sean Preston has a head full of dark curly hair and mom Britney has begun breastfeeding.

It's a boy!

Britney and Kevin announce birth of son on website; they are 'ecstatic'

NEW YORK (AP) - Britney Spears, who sang "I'm not a girl, not yet a woman," is now a mother - and she's "ecstatic" about it.
"We are ecstatic to announce the birth of our son! Everyone is happy, healthy and doing wonderful. Thank you for all your love and well wishes!!" Spears and her husband, Kevin Federline, said in a statement posted on the singer's website.
The baby was born Wednesday by caesarean section at the UCLA Medical Center in Santa Monica, Calif., with Federline by Spears' side in the delivery room, Us Weekly magazine reported.
No other details were available. A phone call by The Associated Press to Spears' publicist Thursday wasn't immediately returned.
Spears' website includes an option for fans to "Send Your Best Wishes" to the couple. The proclamation, "It's a Boy!" sits beneath a photo of Spears and Federline kissing.
The baby is the first child for the 23-year-old pop star and Federline, 27, who has two children with ex-girlfriend Shar Jackson.
On Thursday, Spears released her new fragrance, Fantasy. She says it was created with "all kinds of enchanting scents" including "lush red lychee" and even a "hint of cupcakes, white chocolate and jasmine."

There are some new photos up now, but we've lost some older ones. If anyone has a problem with this I suggest you beat up Ev. He knows everything about computers, so when something goes wrong it's obviously his fault.
Right?

Just got back from Sydney and still have that hating to be home feeling. Arriving home at 11pm and being at work at nine the next morning probably wasn't the best way of avoiding this. No buffer period. Had a great time though sunshine, swimming, walking, shopping, drinking, eating. A thoroughly good time. I got to see the amazing house Marcus has built too. It's so incredibly beautiful. Photos just can't do it justice, but I look forward to the day when it is discovered by vogue living. If anyone can make it work I'm sure they could. My photos can give you a bit of an idea at least.

From one adventure to the next though- what about my birthday? I'm struggling to think of a theme for dressing up so send me a line if you've got any ideas. In case you've forgotten it's the weekend of October 1st and 2nd. Everyone is invited. It'll be great!
