im home alone tonight since dad is away on business (gambling?...) and emie has gone to visit her birthday celebrating boyfriend. So im watching 28days on tellie. I love viggo mortensen. Dad and I have been watching lord of the rings, I actually need to go out and buy the third one cause I love Aragorn. He is in this movie although not as attractive with his blonde hair.
Today for the food review section i had to go to this american chain store salad bar. I had to interview an American psycho who was probably on speed talking a million miles an hour about how freaking fabulous his American salad company on its path to world domination was. I don’t think ive ever been called dude so many times in my life. Yasmine (the lovely intern from Belgium) was sick today so I was on my own in the office with my boss who winds me up a lot but he is giving me a lot of responsibility which will hopefully end up with me getting to write at least one feature or something else that deserves a by-line. If not at least a fabulous letter for my cv. for this issue of the magazine im in charge of one of the pages at the back.
so im writing about 1000 words all together on some festivals and popstars that are coming in the next few weeks. i'm also doing a few short food reviews and the listings which are torture, they're all the performing arts and film events going on in the whole city! it takes almost two days and its the most tedious thing ever! thankgoodness for triple j online streaming, its the only thing that gets me through those days.
The same night as the salad guy i had to interview this actor/producer/director allroundthesbian for a feature in the next issue. he chose that we should meet up in mcCafe which is freaking hysterical if you ask me. he is putting on equus, you know the play with harrypotter nude with a horse. i had plenty of very immature questions to ask but struggled to think of much that i could actually put down in writing for the next issue. i was also a bit nervous because it was my first facetoface interview and apparently he is always frustrated that no one asks him good enough questions and its all 'surface level' but i think i passed the test as he offered me free tickets (something he doesn't usually do, apparently) and wanted to continue discussing literature. all in all, a success i think.
Reviewing restaurants is probably my calling in life. Yasmine and I have been going to them all lately and sampling the best this big city has to offer. Tomorrow night we’re out for tapas and cocktails. including the tapas and the saladbar, this week were also going to thai, a winebar and a finnish restaurant. mmmmmmmmmmm. loz i can feel your envy!
oh, this is from last friday night... gary is the one in the ears.
This thursday karen millen (british designer, dont know her but i think she might have been at fashion week aim, loz) is throwing an instore cocktailparty and yasmine and i are going. mmm free alcohol, everyone says you get sick of all the events and the drinking but i think im a long way off! we're planning on staying out all night and stumbling into work on deadline day to wreak havoc... haha nah we'lll have to pull it together but im looking forward to it.
i keep complaining about sailing with dad. well last weekend was torture! we had to sail all freaking weekend and when we finally got to the marina we were staying at for the night he wanted me to hoist him up to teh top of the mast on a series of complicated ropes and reel up buckets and stuff so he could clean the freaking mast!
i haven't met anyone too fabulous for any seedy romances. i have met three perfect weirdos, all off limits for different reasons. im not sure if there is anyone as retarded as i am when it comes to their gender of choice. trying not to play any mind games. still writing in my journal although less often. amanda you wouldnt be proud. actually i will have a bath and do that now. well soon.
what's going on back home, no one seems to be seeing anyone. although i nkow im probbly just out of the loop it seems like youre all doing very different things. griff have you been wallowed up by rmit yet? has she bundle? bundle and rose i hope melbourne isnt being too irritating or having an even bigger pole up its arse.
im going crazy with such a limited wardrobe, even with half of mums things it is very restrictive. h&m here i come i think. my toe is making quite a good recovery. i can walk without limping much at all now which saves me some dignity.
i've been watching skins and gossip girl religiously, its very fabulous!
mum and bell and my baby cousins are coming up for easter which will be really nice although stressful in our three room apartment. i cant believe how shit ive been with photos (and cameras, sorry ed!)
well i really dont have anything interesting to say this time around, hopefully wasnt too boring a read.
miss you all tremendously. stobes, need to freaking talk to you. lots and lots of love to all. langice im yet to recieve any rambling emails. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxooooooo0ooooxxxxxxxoooxoxoxoxooxoxi
