Start a few fires and have my way
I got an expensive haircut today: my sister’s hairdresser doesn’t work on Fridays and I was impatient, so I paid a little more for a “more experienced” (aka more expensive, and apparently more popular) stylist; which resulted in me having to wait for a whole 40 minutes from the appointment time I had made, before he finished with the previous client!
These are photos pre-cut. I can’t be bothered with any post-cut photos yet, oopsies.
I’m feeling rather strange about the fact that I watched two compleeeetely contrasting movies today: Nine and Valentine’s Day. Mum picked me up from the city as I finished uni slightly earlier on Fridays, and we managed to catch the only remaining screening time of Nine. As I hadn’t had lunch and was feeling peckish, we decided to be naughty and snuck in food from Burger Fuel – though I must say, I don’t think the Bacon Backfire (huuuge burger that has bacon, chicken and brie in it!) that we shared was half as good in the dark though… It’s just not quite the same as being able to see the yummy, unhealthy goodness ooze into your mouth… mmm.
Anyway, the movie itself – compleeeetely different from what I had expected. I was very curious about it, but wasn’t prepared to pay for it (and I actually didn’t), but the main reason I agreed to see it was because Mum really wanted to, and had no one else that was willing, haha. I think overall, I only mostly enjoyed the visual and audio appeal. I liked Fergie and Kate Hudson’s song and dances the most, but the entire movie was just a bit too frustrating for someone who isn’t exactly a musicals fan.
Then, just before, Charlotte and I caught a late screening of Valentine’s Day. Yes, yes, I know it’s almost a whole month after Valentine’s Day, but I don’t think that two girls catching a lovely, light-hearted movie at the end of a tiresome week needs any justifying!
In other matters, Mum caught this photo of me earlier today, which shows what I wore to uni: MinkPink singlet dress; grey slip (the singlet is freaking see-through!), Aqua Dr Martens; Mi Piaci Laine bag; Le Specs; and my good ol’ bass on my back – weighing me down all day week!

I really want to watch Valentine’s Day, no matter how late it is now.
I love the colour of your Dr Martens!

You know, I used to think that it was against some terms and conditions to bring non-cinema food into the cinema because the staff would make a huge fuss over it, and we’d have to hide the food, but apparently, it’s not — it’s perfectly legal here, and now the cinemas in Australia have stopped being all Nazi on people.

Aw, its amazingly cute how you and your mom catch movies together – wish my mom would understand enough English to watch a full movie with me in the theatres haha. Valentine’s Day seems like such a light-hearted cute film. I can’t wait to watch it .. online bahahha. I thought From Paris With Love was a pretty good movie – comparable to “Taken”. Both were by the same producers so they were equally as good. I love action and comedy filled movies! I hope you enjoyed it just as much

Oh yes, I am ALWAYS around queen st during uni time. I’m sure you’ll see me again hahah you shud come say hi
I’ve yet to see any of those movies! Was thinking of the Valentines Day one on the actual day but I thought it would be too cheesy lol
And omg the food thing in cinemas is actually legal now? Thank god, that means I can stop smuggling now.

RE:
Emma – yeah it’s just coming out of summer here, in the southern hemisphere!
Jen/Marcella – I’m not sure if it’s legal… I smuggled my food in. But I know for a fact that at Berkeley Cinemas in Botany the policy is no McDonald’s cos it stinks out the whole place and gets stuff greasy, etc… O_o
