Oh Opera!

Last night I went to the Opera! In Penrith that is. I went with my mum to the Joan Sutherland Performing Arts Centre to see Carmen (in english). It had a pretty understated setup - they didn't put much effort into the stage props, but I guess it was a one night show. The live chamber orchestra was nice and the dresses were also. I didn't realise how many songs I knew! It was a good night.

Not so grating on your ears

I recently bought The Grates cd - Gravity Won't Get You High. It's not too bad - I really liked the vdo clip for 19 20 20. The little animal costumes are so cute! How I would love to go to a dress up party like that!

This photo was taken using the panoramic feature of my camera... not too bad for on-the-fly stitching, hey?

My photo looks better =)

I thought this witch's hat was the coolest one ever. That is, until somebody lifted it off the underground light it was sitting on.

One way of closing your ears

One of Luke's tricks.

It looks like it hurts - kinda like what they do to make orcs - tortured (burnt, battered, bitten). Well, I don't if you "make" orcs... but you get the idea.

It's August!

I know, I'm a few days late, but I thought it'd be a good chance to show off my cool new desk calendar, as well as mention the following GIGANTICASAURUS events:

Saturday, 12th August: Ali's Hen's Night!
Tuesday, 15th August: Brock's 30th Birthday! (party on Friday 18th)
Saturday 19th August: Ali & Will's Wedding!

Eeyore

He makes me happy when it's gloomy outside.

Paper Kimono Girl

There's a lot of cutting and glueing in making this kimono girl... I'm obsessed with the paper (Yuzen).. so gorgeous!!
