The Old Blog

It’s October 20th. I depart London in exactly 2 months.
Okay so I’m freakoutcentral.com today guys. My heart is actually beating too fast for my chest to handle. I’m not sure if I’m excited or scared, happy or sad, hopeful or regretful. I don’t do freak-outs… but I’m doing one today. Big time. Whatever I’m feeling…I [...]

10k

Good Day Readers,
This is going to be a post about running.
As a few of you know I’ve been training for quite a while now… I recently got a couple of 5k races under my belt and this weekend I did the Cancer Research UK 10k race in Victoria Park. It was a great day. The [...]

1 Year

1 year has passed and I feel okay. It still doesn’t feel real though. It’s hard to comprehend. I think that’s because I haven’t been there to process it. When you’re really far away from home you learn to function without the people you love in your life… That made it easier because I got [...]

Geek Out

Last night I had the most pleasant and unexpected 2 hour long discussion about all things geek. It got me thinking about how I don’t really have many geek friends over here apart from Jules…hi Jules. Oh how I miss driving to Cousin Darren’s in St Kilda on a Friday night to stay IN with DVD [...]

My New Full-Time Hobby: Moving House

Good Day Folks,
This morning I woke up and actually didn’t know where I was. Kennington? Fulham? Putney? East Finchley? After a few moments of scenic observation I remembered I had in fact moved to East Finchley the afternoon prior and all confusion was put to ease. I thought it might be a good idea to [...]

Bestival 2009

Of all the festivals I’ve experienced throughout Australia, Europe and the U.K- I’d have to say Bestival takes the cake. In fact it doesn’t just take the cake, it takes the flour supply, whole bakery, world-wide wheat-fields… it is bigger than yeast itself.
A few blogs ago I ranted about the mass commercialism of V Festival. [...]

Day of Birth 2009

I used to HATE my birthdays. Yes that’s right- capital letters ‘HATE’. For the last 25 years of my life I’ve avoided as much birthday fuss as possible. I’ve never thrown parties…insisted on no presents and generally wished I could run and hide far away. I’m not sure why? Quite bizarre really…
This year feels different [...]

Back to School

Just put in my VTAC application for schools next year. What a trip down memory lane… Takes me all the way back to when I was 18 and starting my Police Studies degree. Then again to when I was 19 and starting my Music course. And then again to when I was 21 starting Screenwriting [...]

Change

When I was growing up… my Mum had a friend who seemed to me; the worldliest/wisest woman I’d ever met. I used to go to her for advice, answers and direction. She didn’t give me cotton wool wrapped explanations or excuses for life’s tragedies and disappointment- she spoke in brutal honesty. I liked that. 
I remember [...]

The Mighty V Festival 2009

Just got back from a work jolly at V Festival 2009. My Creative Director didn’t need to do much to sell me on the idea…Free tickets, Food, Drink, VIP passes and not to mention the weekend days back in Lieu (Bestival)
What was my overall opinion of the festival? It was great to have so many [...]
