A picture of somewhere you’ve been to
To be honest it was hard to pick out something to use for a place I have been to. I wanted to use one from one of my trips to Melbourne but most of them were of people. Then I found this photo I took of the entrance to Missing Link Records, which is the most awesome music store I have ever visited.
I am a bit of a music nut and I made sure that on my first visit to Melbourne back in 2005 (with my then-boyfriend and his family) that we popped by this store. While they waited outside I went quietly hyper over the music and magazines they had. Ended up spending quite a bit on music.
The second time I went was in October 2007 when I was over for the Australian BookCrossing Convention. This time I had more money and time to browse.
Melbourne is a city that I want to go back and visit. I have enjoyed both my visits there and have had amazing experiences there. I have also got a bit of an addiction to slurpees from the 7-11 as depicted by this photo here taken on my second visit.

Kick Ass
Well so much for updating regularly, I was intending to post every few days or so but for some unknown reason (probably slackness) I haven't updated for a while.
Updates since then have been that I have not being doing so well with the ol' Script Frenzy. I changed my story idea which helped but then my enthusiasm for the whole thing just kind of collapsed. However I am still giving my full support to Erik (have even offered to work on his script with him if he gets stuck) and am still attending the write-ins.
A couple of Saturdays ago I went to see Kick Ass with Erik and a couple of friends. Erik has been in a rabid fanboy frenzy about this movie ever since he first heard about it. We've both read the comic collection (looking forward to future issues too) and looked forward to seeing the film.
I'm not sure how many other countries the film has an R18 rating in. I had a good laugh during a walk recently in Newmarket where I saw a poster next to the Kick Ass movie poster stating that if you were under 18 and wanted to see the movie, you can't. Then again I remember being underage and wanting to see certain movies, being frustrated that I couldn't.. well until the DVD release anyway. I think they had DVDs then..
The movie is quite violent and while it is funny in parts some of it is kinda dark. However I enjoyed it and laughed, cheered and even went 'aww' at a few scenes. Definitely not a movie for everyone but one for those who enjoy action/comedy/superhero movies who are not easily offended.
Erik is planning on seeing it again on Tuesday so I might be able to update this post with more thoughts after we go and see it again. There's also some other movies coming out soon that I am looking forward to seeing.
In other news tomorrow I am heading up to the Bay of Islands for a work famil aboard the overnight cruise ship Ipipiri. Working in the travel and tourism industry rocks!
