UNIVERSITAAAAAYYY
I have to say a quick thing about simon as he's been pretty absent from this blog and its because he has NO LIFE. The uni work is ridiculous and hes working pretty much 20+ hours a day which i think is stupid and the uni is putting far too much pressure on. He also has no money so is being a homeless person and gettin left over chickens from his mates work. Good on him for living though! Ha ha, i think he had better left over food than the stuff i actually pay for, although it is mainly chocolate and chicken.
Anyway....
Uni has restarted and theres yet more reading to be done for my research essay, im getting there. Plus the e-participation section of Media Democracies and E-participation has started. its pretty full on and why oh why did i decide my fictional role would be editor, iv given myself even more work as i have to check everyone elses before its published! Damnit!
its pretty exciting though, and makes having internet at home even better! It also could work in my favour as I can use the experiences in my Media Policy and Media Law research about internet restrictions, and the fact one of my modules is all virtual now.

JOB JOB JOB
I finally got a phone call!!!!
It's from the cafe across the road from our house on Goodwood and I had an interview this morning. I had to make a coffee (remembering my skills on the Princess theatre machine - oh yer) and should hopefully be getting 2 shifts a week.
I have a trial this saturday so fingers crossed it all goes well, its not much money compared to other australian wages, but compared to England I'm getting more than my job in newcastle per hour so thats prety good!
Its a family run business so hopefully it wont be too hard to infiltrate and for them to learn to love me : )
Will keep you all posted..

3 DAYS SHOOOTING - DONE
As i explained before i mean film shooting not gun shoooting (no alex, once again, not rifle shooting!) so anyway this weekend just gone I had 2 days of filming with the "Getting Even" crew for my short film then on the monday a lovely day in Belair National Park for the music video with "We Grow Up".
Saturdays filming schedule was slightly mad as we changed the whole arrangement of scenes to film after realising that the actress would have to change costume and have her hair redone like a gazillion times, and it worked out better to do all the scenes in one costume and then change to another. Yes granted we should have checked the schedule before but it's one of those things you dont really notice until the time, but hopefully not too many noses were put out of joint. and a big thanks to our actors who were very understanding and worked soo well!! you made the film!!
The day went pretty well dispite all the changes and we even managed to finish about 3 hours early, which was great for the guys who were heading out in the vity (it was saturday night after all) We were also sponsored by Subway that day so had two massive platters! There were leftovers which the boys at home were very pleased about when i came back with lots of leftovers.
Second day filming was a lot more blaze, we managed to go over schedule by about 2 hours but i dont think anyone was really that bothered and we got all the filming done we needed. A few crew members made cameo appearances which was all good and we even had enough money in the budget left over for pizza lunch. (although our budget could have probably been used more wisely as we had a million snacks left over - once again the boys were happy and our filming the next day benefitted)
The lovely Chrissy and I also went for a drink after to have a debrief session and to plan for our next filming day. the music video.
We already had completed the filming of the doll and now had to concentrate on the band. There were slight dramas as the band thought we were starting half an hour after we planned and then got lost! But then the cd player packed up so we couldnt even film them with the backing track, until chrissy managed to get to a music shop and get a new one (not planned in our budget - whoops!)
So anyway other than a few minor hiccups the day went well, we finished pretty early considering and I even got to make a cameo which will be at the start (hopefully).
After 3 days i was pretty tired and was now known as the time and continuity nazi! Sorry everyone but i wanted it to be perfect!! ha ha, and you dont have to work with me again!
And i even managed to go for a 7km run (which was actually the only time my headache stopped) and got my loan through, yay! (sorry for being grumpy on the phone mother)

INTERNET!!!
If you havnt realise already by the facebook presense and blog updates we have finally got internet in our house!! the setting up of it did mean we had to pay 7 weeks backdated rent, plus 2 weeks bond, which carved quite a lot out of the savings! but had to be done i guess.
also brilliant to actually see our landlord for once, talk to him about any problems and also to finally get internet! also means i can now skype all u kids that have it and u can actually see what i look like as i have a webcam now!!
I even managed to make it to volleyball after the bus ride and plane back from stanthorpe too, so a very eventful day.

FILMING
Speaking of third year courses, this weekend was our filming dates for our short film - "getting even" and to be honest i thought it would be a lot more stressful than it was.
We had a few minor tiffs but nothing of major importance (to be honest i think any major issues were probably bottled up and a few little comments made but not much coming of them, so well see what happens with the journals)
We got sponsored by subway, which was awsome and had so much food it was ridiculous. we even had a coles voucher so had tons of crisps, crackers and dips too!! oh and also got sponsored by nippi's which is a juice company so got loads of orange and water which was really tasty.
First day we were under schedule by 3 hours which everyone was pretty happy about as some needed to get out (it was a saturday night after all) but unfortunately the second days filming we overfilmed for soooooooo long! it seemed to go well and the lovely chrissy and i went to the pub afterwards for a debrief. as we both realised we couldnt go home without it, even if everyone else could. we also have our filming day tomorrow at the belair national park so had to do a few preps for that.
