…and all that jazz!
UPDATE: Oooh there has been a little update to the sequel of emails floating around… hope you keep up with it.
Randwick (your chance to stalk us now) here we come!! The very friendly Josh took our booking over the phone. Thanks for organising this Maxine and David and the rest of us all glam bois and gurls for you will be gracing the occasion in your stilettos and feather chapeaux. Here we come… watch for us… we will be screaming, yelling, ranting and raving and pickin’ on each other down the bar and getting merry on copious amounts of lime topped coronas before we try our hand at rolling the ball down the right alley… given the great mix of bowling virgins and virtuosoes in our group I am expecting sheer excitement and euphoria in our hired shoes(we must wear in order to bowl, eeeew!).
Hope you’ll look out for our flickr fest. No ones been talking about what they are going to wear tonight.. it makes me rather anxious … I must know these things in advance as you know! For security reasons please do not wear nipple clamps in the bowling club! Rest should be easy we are all rather flexible of body and sometimes mind!
A good time was had by all! We were 13 +2! and we had a blast! Visit the links below for some flickr lovin’
Glorious weekend. I should have posted this on the weekend of the 26th November 2005 — but as you know I have a job to keep, a cat to feed, brush, bathe, walk, my inner man to please and a lot more exciting things that are not meant for you unless you are happen in the elite ‘puff’ club of the far north shore and no they are not web related either. Schade! Which also means I cannot tag them with technorati much really. And then I keep thinking to myself should I write about ‘em at all, chances are I’d get stalked like a friend of ours did a few weeks back… and now with the trees from my neighbours gone they could literally peep in and see me sleeping in my birthday suit with a pussy on my new summery sheets, scary!
David and I had the pleasure of watching the exclusive advanced screening of the 2005 Cannes Film Festival, written and directed by Christian Carion — Joyeux Noël which was a courtesy of ABC Classic FM. Joseph Hocking the Marketing Manager made the introductory speech before the movie was screened. I was hoping to see Julia Lester in flesh and blood too but she was on air and therefore couldn’t make it to the show. Passionate, bold, poignant, humane, extraordinaire are just a few thoughts that run through my mind thinking of last night. It was truly a moment of humanity that made history. A touching depiction of an extraordinary act of humanity. If I were to pick the two most impacting passions that lived right through the movie they would simply be brevity and respect for fellow human beings.

See you there!!
You can tell we are all having way too much fun when I don’t write or there is so much to write I rather go without. No time for updates (Note to self: “Must keep buffer draft post handy”) and there are php errors on the inner achive pages as Cameron rightly said this arvo — “You are hardly online thesedays”. Hmmm. Besides its the silly season too. But whatever you do don’t miss out on the flickr luvin‘. David, Rish and I had a rather nice evening out last night, ferry to Circular Quay from Mosman followed by cocktail at the Blu Horizons where we met Maxine up in the himmel and then back to planet earth for some wagamama and laughter galore all the way. The ferry back was fun too. Rather choppy drive and a bump or two on South Cremorne wharf and a few handpicked ones along the way but we are very accomodating you know.
