2. Devised an IMC for Tim Burton's upcoming Alice In Wonderland (2010). Tried to pretty my application up with photoshop graphics. Went home to find my uni transcipts.

2. Forced Nathan to come home early with me! It was raining so badly.
3. Tried to find the best Graphic Design course to do next year. Apparently it is my new potential career.

September 1, 2009

1. Tsuki all day. Coming to the last month of my internship.Planned Edweana's surprise baby shower and drinks for my goodbye!
2. Walked to Oxford Street to catch a bus to George and found a potential light for my room in an Indian homewares shop
3. Met Nathan and went to see Taking Woodstock (2009). Such a great story. I think everyone wishes that could have been there. The casting was crazy. The actors look almost identical to the people they are playing. Ang Lee did a great job incorporating real events into the film. The toilet guy, the nuns, the muddy hill, the bathers in the lake. Awesome.
4. Caught the train home and educated Nathan on Altamont and the Gimme Shelter documentary. I want to start writing a screenplay about it. It would be a much darker story than Woodstock. The end of the 60's and the hippie dream. How sad.
5. Fell asleep to Woodstock (1970), the documentary about the Festival.

August 31, 2009

1. Decided to teach myself Maya and made a little temple using the first few tutorials. Have a long way ahead of me!

3. The usual internet search for jobs, courses and answers to my impending post-uni future.
4. Shopping on eBay for a light for my new room.
5. Bistro close. No till for me because Jess told Angela she had to do it, even though she was there first.

August 30, 2009

1. Spent the morning in bed with Nath. A day off together!
2. Planned a walk and visited my family to get my running shoes. Instead was distracted by choosing paint colours and designing wardrobes
3. Nath had to go to soccer shortly, so we went back to his and made his Bento Box for lunch on Monday. We put on Ponyo but I fell asleep and he had to leave before it finished.
4. Nath came home and woke me up. We finished Ponyo and cooked crappy pizza for dinner
5. I called Nan and Pop and spoke to them for half an hour. Coolest grandparents ever. They'll be home soon and are going to get out the old record player for me.

1. Open at Boost. When will the torture end?
2. Went home before Prue's Birthday shindig, for a quick nap with Nath.

3. Went home and felt a strange urge to dance.
4. Back to the Bistro. Counting till again.
5. Nathan was at a factory rave, so I decided to entertain myself with my new tarot cards and did a couple of readings. Very interesting results.

August 27, 2009

1. Tsuki all day.

2. Met Nath, Tash and Simon for diner at a Thai place in Surry Hills. Delicious.

3. Walked to The Hopetoun for Sherlock’s Daughter EP Launch. We were there pretty early and watched both support acts. Kyu were pretty good. The singer from the second band was highly entertaining. It looked like he was making it up on the spot! I couldn't keep a straight face. The kids from Sherlock's Daughter were awesome. They looked so genuinely excited and happy to be there. Must have been a really great night for them.

4. Wore my new velvet jacket. Very regal.

5. Caught the train home. Ergh. Picked up a copy of mX and Sherlock's Daughter were in it. They keep popping up everywhere lately.

August 26, 2009

1. Tried to finish my journal.
2. Nostalgia for my uni course. It's so close to over.
3. My Melissa + The Wizard of Oz shoes arrived. They fit perfectly!
4. Nath's Edgar Allen Poe book also arrived. Only two more presents still to come.
5. Bistro close again. Sick of counting the till!

August 25, 2009

1. Started my journal properly.
2. Realised that it was pretty easy to write from experience rather than from research.
3. Decided to convert some of my favourite films from Nath's computer to my iPhone. Vicky Christina Barcelona (2008), The Darjeeling Limited (2007) and Burn After Reading (2008).
4. Became obsessed with downloading Wes Anderson's short film, Hotel Chevalier (2007), for my iPhone despite having no internet left for the month.
5. Cooked chicken kievs for dinner with Nathy. Marked the extras with pictures of ourselves so none of his family would eat them.

August 24, 2009

1. Woke up and felt very gross. Watched crappy TV for a few hours. How can Foxtel have nothing on! It was obviously a slow news day because reports were luda.

2. Went to Sutherland to the Royal for lunch with everyone from the team. Mia and I were still living it up. Fun to get roped into a neverending bender.

3. Finally back to our own bed. Quick naptime.

4. Close at the pub. Received an artfully crafted plate

5. Evil email session

August 23, 2009

1. Arrived at Seymour for a day of Soccer. Watched the Bonnet Bay Womens’ team. Great atmosphere. No other club compares with the effort and spirit of the Bay!

2. Went to Coles and Dick Smith in between games. Picked up some batteries for my Diana + F Instant Back. Yay! Alas, the first packet of film was exposed when I screwed around with it a few days before.

3. Nathy’s game! So stressful. There was a great turn out with a fair few of our friends, all of his family and my parents. They won, but only be default after extra time and a nil all draw.

4. Back to the clubhouse for insane celebrations with Mia and Nicky. Bomber shots of Absinth and Blue Curacao. Worst shot ever. Stayed at the club till early hours of the morn.

5. Back to Bjows. I fell asleep on the mattress while everyone was still watching TV.

August 22, 2009

1. Boost open. So tired.

2. Nath picked me up and we went back to his for his Family Birthday Lunch.

3. Dinner with Dari and Joy at Thai, then on to the Russian Coachman for the After Party! Free Vodka! Too bad that I was buggered and not in the mood for party time
4. Hung out with Olga from the Stay In Bed shoot. Found out that she is an assistant manager at The Chauvel
5. She introduced me to the owner and the manager. My phone ran out of battery, struggled to get home.
