MOVIES, MOVIES

Lately, I have been feeling like watching lots & lots of movies. It's probably got a lot to do with the weather here lately, as it's been nothing much but cold, windy & rainy. The dams & lakes around my city are almost back to 100% full. It's really amazing considering we now just coming out of the 12 year drought we've been stuck in! Back to the movies, I guess it's also because there is a lot of new films coming out at the moment, or are about to be released. The latest I saw was Dinner For Schmucks, it was hilarious! I love the comedy of Paul Rudd & Steve Carrell. Basically anything with Steve Carrell in it, is funny as! I want to see a lot of the films that are out now including; Salt, The Expendables, Step Up 3 3D, The Other Guys and Despicable Me. There are a few others coming out soon that I wouldn't mind seeing either.

Into other news; it's my birthday very soon! On the 30th, next Monday. So... this weekend on the Saturday the 28th, I'll be going out! I plan to have dinner, go to the movies and then out partying with all my friend's. I was going to organise a big birthday party at the pub but I won't be doing that now, there isn't enough time to get it all sorted really. And I was um'ing & arghing about it for a while. Just wasn't sure whether the party would be a good idea, it would have been more expensive too, especially to have it at the pub/hotel. Still, it would be nice to have that sometime for a birthday. Maybe my next one and it will be dress-up themed. I absolutely love themed parties where everyone has to dress up as something, they're the most fun! Anyway, either way, my birthday should be fun & I want to spend the time with my family & special friend's. I think that's the best way to have spent a birthday. In other news, my car is going pretty well. I finished putting new seat-covers on it last week. They're black with blue hibiscus flowers on them, they're pretty... I cannot wait to take a photo of them & the car to add up on here, alas, I am still waiting for a nice sunny day to be able to do that. The rain and clouds just keep on rolling on. Which is also good, because we needed it to get out of the drought we're in, and the farmer's outside of the city needed it for their stock & growth.

During the weekend, I went to see my cousin in the play RENT! It was amazing! All the people involved in putting it together did such a great job! Everyone is so talented and good at what they do. I'm really proud of cousin too, she did so well! I had always heard of the story of RENT, but when I watched it over the weekend, it was AMAZING! The entire storyline, it has so much more depth to it than first thought.. the struggles of youth and those suffering AIDS. It really touched everyone in that room, it was brilliant! You know what is more touching, the creator of that particular play that my cousin was a part of, her own older brother had passed away from AIDS & had been dedicated to him. I felt that was just so special. What a tremendous way to spend the weekend. Then that night on Saturday I went out to the pub with my friends, we danced all night and listened to some awesome tunes. Chatted and caught up with heaps of people.. its always fun! Got to start saving money again though, especially to spend it on my new car, lol.

Holidays; oh how I'd love to take another holiday sometime soon. I don't know where I would go, probably to the city of Sydney... miss that place. I haven't been for a while, there is always so much to do there when I go there. And I have family there to see too. I enjoy it, every time I go there! I have been clocking up a lot of hours owed in annual leave, so the more I do and keep going with it, the better amount of time I will have when I am ready to actually take up & use the holiday time. Whoo! Oh, going onto some blog site news; I have started updating parts of this new theme, I just edited and fixed the banner up. Thanks Gwen for pointing that out to me! And I am planning on editing the sidebar column, fixing up a few more things (I added in a new photo of myself in the 'About Me' section to the top right hand-side of the sidebar. I also want to be updating new journal entries more often and frequently. After all, I look at it this way, I am paying for this space on the web, so I may as well use it up. I'm going to go now and finish watching Dinner For Schmucks, so far it is so funny! Take care everyone and until next time.. I will make an update next week about my birthday, with photo's included too hopefully! Love Jaz xXx.
