Star Theatre, Sydney

What's your favorite play and why?

Well I don't really have a favourite play at the moment, although I definitely prefer musicals. I did go and see two musicals (which I thoroughly enjoyed) on the weekend.

Zenophran and I went to Sydney to see The Phantom of the Opera at the Lyric Theatre in Sydney. It was a birthday present from my parents and I'd been looking forward to it for ages.

Phantom was absolutely brilliant, especially seeing it had Anthony Warlow in the lead role. I'd missed out seeing him 10 years ago in Melbourne as Rob Guest had taken over. This time, Anthony Warlow is the Phantom. He is really, really good.  :) One other thing that was much improved since I last saw it was the sound quality. :) They even used surround sound and it was gooooood!!

The other show I got to see was The Rocky Horror Show. I hadn't even realised that it was on at the moment, but when we got to StarCity on friday night, we saw the posters everywhere and just had to get tickets. I have just one comment about that - you got to love a theatre with built-in cocktail glass holders in the chairs!!

Right now I'm blogging to distract me from the mountain of study I need to do.

In other news, I got a free book in the mail today. It's not my usual genre, but I'll probably give it a go. Either that or it will go straight to the bookcrossing pile..

Is it morning?
Didn't I just go to bed?

The original photo ..

Gnome patrol

On a completely unrelated note, I think these may be the gnomes that infect the lab and move stuff around.

Boat Cake

Another farewell, another cake ..

This time it was my boss. We really don't want her to leave, but she is retiring, so we don't have a say in the matter.

Went down to the Scout Hall last week for a leader's planning meeting.
I was early.
Everyone else was late.

So I whipped out the camera and took some shots.

Scout hall

No idea when they painted this, but it's pretty cool.

Charcoal tracks

This is a lump of wood left in the campfire. Makes for a good texture shot.

Telegraph Poles

I think I may be turning into Rimmer

Self Portrait #3

The other self-portrait went so well, I thought I'd take another.

In other news- why can I never seem to find any bookcrossing books. I checked out the latest (dropped a few days ago), but it was already gone. I've yet to find any around Canberra. I'm going to have to keep my eyes more peeled on my travels. :)

/rant ahead. Feel free to ignore/

I don't know what it was about today. Everything was going wrong and I feel like crap.

It might be the weather. It started out with fog and ice and ended up at 30C and humid.
It might even be run down and cranky from binging on junk food.

Or it might be that even 5 minutes someone asks me something they have asked before and expects me to magically fix a major problem. Not even the PhD and experience chemists can fix it (yet). Why ya looking at me for?

Maybe I should go to bed. *dreams about burettes and iodine*

Why do the TV stations always do this to me? Ratings season is starting again and they put all the good shows on at exactly the same time.

Who Do You Think You Are? - based on the UK show of the same name, it traces the family histories of well known Australians. Very interesting. Tonight's was on Cathy Freeman, an Olympic gold medal winning athlete. She is an Australian Aboriginal, so her family would be interesting to trace.

So You Think You Can Dance - The premiere of the Australian version. We've got some good dancers so far. What I don't get is why we need to have 3 UK/US judges. Haven't we got any Australians who can fill one of the judging spots?

Cricket - Yes. Yes. I know. But its a one day game, and it's Australia vs India again. Conflict makes grass growing more interesting.

It was made easier by the fact the cricket kept getting interrupted by rain. I really shouldn't complain about that - we desperately need the rain here!

P.S. In the end I watched Dance, and recorded WDYTYA. It was still raining when they finished and has now been called off..

What's the front page story in your local paper today? What do you think the front page story SHOULD be?

The Canberra Times - January 31, 2008

Other people may have stories on wars and political candidates. We don't. We have a story about how good (read lousy) the new PM is at selecting a cricket team.

More and more people are working remotely these days. Does your job allow you to do so? How much face-time do you usually put in at the office during any given week?

I'd love to see me trying to work from home! I'd have to invent teleport first.

I can just see it now ..

Me:       Hi guys, can you just pass the butanone. Yeah, the small bottle. Just put it in the teleport
Them:   OK. I don't think it will fit. How 'bout I just pour some into a beaker for you?
Me:       Oh, alright. Just remember the lid this time. I don't want to have mutated flies again. Now I'm just sending the             radioactive chromatography strips back. Can you just pop it into the gamma counter for me?

eerrr.. I think the answer to that is NO! I do have webmail, so I get to keep an eye on what's going on while I'm supposed to be on holidays.

If you were suddenly granted the day off today, how would you go spend your free time?

Today is Saturday. I DO have the day off (and all of next week too)

So what am I doing today. Well sweet FA really. Although I do have to go to the aquarium shop and find out why the stupid goldfish I have had for 2 weeks died.
