No Iranian Cinema...

...just a beautiful dress at Review. Its wasn't a jaw dropping gorgeous gown but rather a dress that makes you think "geez, i wish i was one of those ladies that had lunches."
know what i mean?
Then i tried on a Kimono dress (finally) and it was just excellent. Just wrap it around -none of this over your head thing - and a little tape and you're ready to go. But what am i going to do with a kimono dress? I dont really want to be a geisha anymore after seeing the ending of 'memoirs of a geisha'.

standards too high?

boys:
1) Someone who will open doors for me and let me in first
2) Someone who will carry even a pencil (hello kitty one) for me
3) Someone who will give me his jacket when im cold even if he’s also cold
4) Someone who can and will drive me home all the time
5) Someone who will pay for things or at least offer to
6) Someone who has a nice name
7) Someone who has nice parents, siblings and pets (if applicable)
8) Someone who is older
9) Someone who has nice hair
10) Someone who wears nice shoes
11) Someone who doesn’t wear shorts
12) Someone who likes Lano and Woodley but Lano more than Woodley
13) Someone who can fix my computer if need be
14) Oh and nice personality, good sense of humor – the usual.

On a hot winters day at UTS

actually it was just those edit suites upstairs. But it was really hot...
One student (who's name i will not mention) starts to sing Nelly's 'It's getting hot in here' and even does the extra high bits It's getting, so hot, in here, I'm gonna take my clothes off! Everyone has a bit of a laugh which gradually turns to awkwardness when the student DOES NOT STOP SINGING! Anna the support teacher is stunned.
Ursula: See, MAP students arent weird at all. We're just like all other people.

Sorry, just pissing myself laughing. If you don't find this funny please, come to one of my classes. 2pm every Wednesday in one of those hot edit suites...

Speaking of Dolls…

Why are there 7 people in the Pussycat Dolls? They all look the same (skanky hoes), only ONE sings and the other 6 do nothing. There are at least 3 too many, so they should just pick some names out of a hat and those not lucky enough to stay in the band should…I don’t know…just die out like Christina.

No more Bono

The CD player at work is finally broken. I used to change the songs all the time because some were just shit (john farnham’s ‘one perfect day’ used to drive me mad). Then I found out that you werent even meant to touch the CD player because the manager gets mad. So now we all have to listen to the radio, which isnt too bad except we can only receive one station with our little antennae made from a wire coathanger.

So no more Bono and Mary J blige or Shannon Noll, only ‘Flaunt It’ by TV rock and that ‘beep’ song by the Pussycat Dolls which is not exactly the kind of music for 40+ women.

SIMON COWELL AND DESPERATE HOUSEWIVES

TVPC DISCUSSION QUESTION:
what are some shows that have consistent indigenous input in australia?
TIM DODD'S ANSWER:
'Great Out Doors' has whats-his-face in it.

In other news: there was a Tim Off in class today
The two Tim dodds were talking to each other in class today. Actually, no, not talking to each other but rather in a heated discussion. Just waiting for the world to implode now...
Also the count for how many times 'desperate housewives' was mentioned in class was 5!

you know when you have those moments and you feel that your life is finally falling into place?

LANO AND WOODLEY - Goodbye Tour

COLIN: you think the miners felt trapped? how about me having to work with this dickhead for 20 years?
The theatre fell silent. Even the laughter from the previous joke died down.
COLIN: ooooohh...didn't take that one too well. Too soon? Ok, I'll try it again at 9 o'clock.

And then after the show I bought a T-shirt
And then we pushed in line for an autograph
And then we got an autograph
And then Colin asked me who I was
And then Colin asked Daren who he was ("Darren, Friend of Anna")
And then I got a photo
And then Daren got a photo
And then I left the T-shirt in Daren's car
And so now im still excited because I can't wait to get the t-shirt again!

Oh My God it was the best night EVER!

(but curse the girl who got picked to go onstage and do the slo-mo tennis skit with them. And curse the guys who got to hold the fireman's blanket when Frank fell from the roof. And curse the people sitting on the bottom level when Colin ran out to the audience because judging by the screams it sounded like he did something absolutely amazing!)

ANNA-conscious

a term that someone has used to describe my thing about not being able to go anywhere or do anything alone.
But even last night at the Lansdowne i wasnt alone and i just couldnt stay. It was too awkward.
I dont know why...
so here's my question: what do you do at live music gigs?

the one with all the good calls - darren's disney princess party

I would like to commend everyone on a terrific night last night. I mean, we were all so on the ball. GOLD.

• "It's Woody Allen all over again!" (this is the latest thing to say if you are or want to be cool)
• "Sandra's not drinking on the job anymore."
• "lock the doors, Ferris is heading out west!"
• the possibility of Daren living in the bush.
• IT'S STEF! STEF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
• the constant playing of Phil Collins/Genesis on the radio
• Stef slaving away in the kitchen while daren sat on his butt.
• The Shrine of Daren. There are 3 panels of photos in the living room ALL dedicated to him.
• Making fun of Daren because he lives in a CUL-DE-SAC - "those Cul-de-sac people! they think that they're sooooo good! oh, we dont need lights or house numbers because we already know where everyone lives!"
• Driving with the hazard lights on up and down the street and the 3 of us hanging out the window trying to look for house numbers which proved to be highly difficult (granted both mary and i weren't wearing our glasses.)
• honking and yelling out DAREN!!!!!!!!!! WHERE ARE YOU?!?!?!?! WHERE IS YOUR HOUSE?????! in an attempt to find where he lives.
• forcing daren's friend Sam to eat pizza (EAT IT!) and then scaring him off.
• those really big snakes that you cant tie with your tongue no matter how good a kisser you are.
• "so where does that Pacific highway start?"

Mary's lovely drawings on my shoe:
Anna: WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT?
mary: Lips. what did you think it was?
Anna: Oh! i thought it was an ink blot!

Everyone talking about how Nikki Webster posed 'provocatively' on the cover of Zoo magazine.
Donna: yeah it was so gross.
a little while later
Gwen: wait. where is this zoo that makes you get naked?

MARY: well, Australia can't be a povo third world country! they've now got porn in their zoos!

Mary: so for your going away we've decided that we have to go to sizzlers!
Anna: yeah!! love sizzlers.
Gwen: where are you going?
Mary: SIZZLERS! DONT YOU LISTEN? oh right...she's going to New York.

along king george road near wiley park station.
Anna: okay ladies, look to your left. what the hell are they building?
Keya: dunno...
Anna: i know! im so perplexed.
Mary: its a brigde.
Anna and Keya: ohhhhhhhhhh.
Mary: you see we had one at our DAS school.
Anna: well in our privileged schools we had electricity for lights.

• NOT playing team monopoly. tear.
  
• NOT eating the crunch spicy apple cake. double tear.
• mary trying to prove to me that she ALWAYS says 'no good' (like Kath and Kim) by saying it after EVERYTHING that she said and then saying 'see! i say it all the time!'
• discover that team aniston is the best and angelina can go get stuffed with her rainbow family.

And Finally at the party, a lack disney and a lack of princesses. No lack of Daren however.

This one is for you mary...

on the glasshouse there was a man who's nickname was Jeff and his real name was Aaron.

its catching on...

The Latest from Apple for Americans

Actually my friend drew on my shoe and he meant to say WOW. It didn’t quite work so his sister said put an exclaimation mark after it…that didn’t quite work either.
