1. Open at Boost. When will the torture end?
2. Went home before Prue's Birthday shindig, for a quick nap with Nath.
3. Overslepped and arrived at The Lounge at 5:00pm. A cocktail and some tempura fish. Delicious.
4. Took photos with my Diana F + Instant Back. Trying to learn how to use it.
5. Party moved onwards to Northies. No Fusion for me. A lift home with Lewis via Maccas.

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 5, 2009

1. Tried to find a video of someone singing Happy Birthday Melissa on YouTube for my sister's birthday
2. Called Liss and listened to her read out all of her birthday messages.
3. Waited at Grays Point turnoff for Sam and Paul. Spoke to Amz on the phone to pass the time. Excited for Saturday girls dinner.
4. Went to dinner at Thai Passion in Newtown with Angela, Nicole, Sam, Paul and Sarah.
5. Phoenix at the Enmore! Had a great view and lots of space. They were such a great band to see live. Lots of energy and a good mix of old and new songs.

July 27, 2009

1. Home time for most. But not us! A bit of cleaning up, mainly executed by Nath. Said our goodbyes to Tasho and left for the beach.
2. Lay on the beach in the nice winter sun. Such a great day for it. We stupidly bought Tim Tams for beach food and the great photo saga of Nathaniel P. Butterworth's Race Against The Melting Chocolate was created. Carlie and Michael came to find us but weren't too keen on our next plan
3. We decided to go for a lovely afternoon stroll down the beach in search of rockstars. But instead we only found rock faces. They were still pretty impressive! The rock was so soft you could make marks in it with your finger.
4. Met back up with Carlie and Michael at the Beach Hotel for late afternoon drinks, and then went to The Middle East with some of their friends for dinner
5. Afterwards we went upstairs to the balcony where Paul and Sam were staying. Hung out there for awhile. Felt pretty tired. Attempts to party on at the Beach and Cheeky Monkey's were pretty dismal and we were home before midnight

July 26, 2009

1. Arrived at the Festival just in time for The Middle East. Blood was an awesome singalong!
2. Ate a divine pie. Decided to restrict my food intake after the previous day's binge on awful, terrible food
3. Stayed with Tash for most of the day but met up with everyone for a massive dance to Friendly Fires. Couldn't believe Amz missed Paris! The horror.
4. Staked out the main stage waiting for MGMT and The Flaming Lips. Found Amz and Dewey and all of the people we were staying with. I went ballistic in MGMT especially hearing their new songs. Everyone else was a bit underwhelmed. Flaming Lips were unreal. I want to find out how you get to be one of their dancers! Do you realiseeeee?
5. Quick trip to Tipi and then the trudge home. Nathan gave me a piggyback. World's greatest karaoke dance party at home. S Club 7 absolutely went off.

July 25, 09

1. Woke up with a splitting headache. Was seriously worried that something in my skull might burst. Readied for Splendour and then started drinking out on our deck with everyone, shared sections of the newspaper
2. Walked to Splendour. Was a bit further than we had anticipated. Saw Yves Klein Blue. I think.
3. Went to Tipi Forest where the annoying theme song of the weekend made it's debut. Riverside Motherfuckers!
4. Walked to the camping ground to meet Amz and Mia. Parked there for a fair few hours and had far too many drinks. Everyone left and we had a singalong to Wild Horses and New Slang in the car. Thought I had lost my ring but had really only lost my shit.
5. Back to the Festival just in time to see the end of Bloc Party. Ran into Carlie and Michael, held hands and danced around in a circle. Back to Tipi and then home for more dance party action.

July 24, 2009

1. Got ready to leave for Splendour. Did my hair and spoke to Tasho and Nate. He had arrived safely at the airport and was sitting there waiting for our flight
2. Dad drove me to the airport and Nathan met us outside the Terminal to ditch his suitcase. Reunion time at the Departure Lounge. Got Maccas and had to throw away my tweezers and razor. I knew I would had to, don't know why I bothered bringing them. Nathan found 50 bucks!
3. Our "Reliable. Fast. Airport Transfer' was late. I dozed on the way to Byron listening to The Shins
4. At the house! Raining. We met all of Tash and Schmang's friends, who we were staying with. Started drinking and then departed for dinner
5. Nathan bought shit Rose and we all proceeded to get blind. Tried to get into Beach Hotel and stood in the line for an hour. Left and found Paul with "no pants on" out the back of the Northern. Went home and fell asleep on a bed made of cushions.

May 29, 2009

1. Potentially attended my last lecture ever! ARHT2656: National and Transnational Cinema Lecture No. 11. We had a guest lecturer who wore an awesome velvet blazer. Need to find one on the Bay to buy Nate. And we watched Bjork in Dancer In The Dark (2000). Bit of a miss for both me and Amz. The musical numbers became torturous towards the end. But I still managed a tear or two.
2. Saw someone actually spraying a graffiti heart in the Graffiti Tunnel at Uni. The first person I've ever seen in action!
3. Went for a quick trip to Pitt Street and bought a new lipstick. Chanel Rouge Allure in Enthusiast. 
4. Skipped out on meeting Debbie to practice for our French Oral.
5. Went to Chilli Blossom Thai and then Bizzo's for Grafton Primary and Art vs. Science. Proceeded to drink far too much due to the extreme wait at the bar, and was very ill on the way home.

May 15, 2009

1. Spent a lazy day at home
   
2. Attempted to cross off some things on my to-do-list. Pretty unsuccessful, but did get my uni email up and running
3. Went to Finders Keepers markets with Nath, Tash and Simon
4. They were too busy so we decided to come back later and went to dinner at Thai Times 9 in Newtown
5. Nathan and I tried to convince Tash and Simon to start Latin dancing classes with us. They laughed at my ambition for Nathan to become a professional dancer because he has "the right physique"

May 9, 2009

1. Opened at Boost with Tash, Ev and Matt
2. Dee gave me lift and we watched an old man do a 5 point turn around a chicane
3. Photoshopped a photo for my Mum, minimised Dad's sunburnt face
4. Read Linda Goodman 'Love Signs' and 'Sun Signs'
5. Had drinks at Nicole's house
