My date with Miss M... and 20, 000 other people
Well the last 5 days have been pretty busy for me!
Thursday i had a hakf day at work, TBS gave everyone half a day off paid to do xmas shopping, which was actually really cool and nice cause it was just my unit that got it. So i didn't actually do any xmas shopping. I did get season 7 of Family guy... though i was a bit annoyed that what they classify as a 'season' was only about 2/3rds of the season, 11 episodes. Still, it was only $35 so cant complain really. And its family guy, so its worth paying it.
That night went to dinner with the in laws at Dellissio which was really nice. They have just changed their menu and its much better now! Problem is i had a allergic reaction to something, i got really itchy and broke in all these bumps o_0
I am allergic to seafood... but didnt have any... so im not sure what caused it... hopefully im not allergic to something else now! x_x
So it wasnt too bad when i went to bed, thinking that it would probably die off over night, but lo and behold i wake up in the mornign and its worse!
So i decided to take the day off and go to the doctors. He prescribed me some anithistemines and they cleared it up, although once i took the second one it made me really sleepy. I went to sleep at 7ish and only woke up once in the night to ghet a drink then slept through till the next morning!
Saturday was nice, bummed round for awhile then went out to DFO with my mum, sister and her bf Andrew.
Andrew drove.... never doing that again. Some people need to speed up on roads... he needs to slow down, so impatient. We were in the carpark and he was just not giving other people room... really annoys me. anyways.
So yeah, i was able to finsih off my xmas shopping there, Mum and I each bought some nice bowls for my sister so she had a set of four which was good. Also got mum to get me these nice bowls as a present for me.
So i packed my bags for Sunday and stayed at Nicks so we could leave early in the morning for Sydney.
We had little problems getting the the F1 in Sydney, although we over shot the exit just before the hotel so had to a little bit of backtracking. Went and hung out in the city for awhile, met up with some friends and had something to eat at a cafe- the salad i had was actually really nice.
Had a snooze then on to Olympic park!
Safetly navigated the trains to the park and we got there by 6ish. Went and bought merch, a tour book and a t-shirt. Then hung around for awhile before the show started.
15 Mins before the show started we went to our seats... which was way up the top and to stage left, but hey I was just happy to be there! It was all very exciting.
Now comes my favourite part, Kylie's many cool outfits.
This time they were designed by Jean Paul Gaultier.
She opened the show in a black gown with gold tube round the chest and neck area, she also wore some funky metal gauntlet glove things.
Next was the CHeerleader outfit... which was pink this time, instead of the blue she wore for the European leg. She had fantastic shoes in this out fit!
Next was a nautical theme and she wore a sailors uniform with sparkly theme, i was a bit dissapointed with this as she had already done a ship theme in her light years tour... anyways.
The last costume for the first act was kylie in a red "bell boy" gown... and she came on stage suspended on a big silver skull which was pretty cool.
End of Act 1
The act started off as a Japanese Manga theme, with Kylie in a weird retro theme pseudo Kimono thing and a red head piece. This was actually a cool act cause they released a whole heap of pink and white paper stuff to make ti look like cherry blossoms were floating down.
Then next axt was kylie in a blue evening gown, this was the slow part.
There were these two girls behind us who talked through that whole section... which was so increadibly annoying!
Next was Kylie in a coachman's outfit in an rennaisance theme. This was one of the bst acts, with her impromtu strip in the middle to the pants a top and some suspenders (she always has one set of suspenders in her concerts, i think she in love with them).
The encore section saw Kylie come out in black sparkly pants and a gold blingy top that has been descired as a cher like evening wear.
The concert was so much fun! I had a great time, even though we had pretty bad seat it was still good, i was just happy to be there! About the only dissapointing act was the nautical one, which lost a bit of energy. the Had 6 video curtains on the stage which were really fantastic. They could move around the stage and were realyl clear and precise. The stage floor could also be projected on. It was actually a pretty simplistic stage, there wasnt a permanent construct like in previous shows, the sets created mainly by the video cutains which could make practically anything. There was some props, but most of the time it was pretty simplistic.
It went for ages, with Kylie doig mulitple encore songs which was great, really got our money worths! We got out of there at 11, but the cause we had to catch the train back to the city it took ages to get back. We ended getting to Central and then catching a taxi back to the hotel. Got back about 12pm.
We drove back Monday morning and i just bummed around the house for the rest of the day. Which was nice to realx before i had to go back to work
So a good trip was had by all. I was glad i could go and i reckon ill go to the next tour she brings to Aus, although im gonna get better seats this time!

From the makers of Xena, I present....
Legends of the Seeker
I just downloaded the first 3 episodes of this show last night. Its broadcasting in America atm so im gonna try and keep up with it.
So basically this show is a fantasy series based on Terry Goodkinds novels- Tales of the Sword. At least the first series is based off the first book- Wizards First rule.
Its made by the people who did Xena and Hercules.
Basic storyline is pretty standard, Boy is child of Prophecy, tasked with defeating evil lord... helped by random chick from an ancient order of women sworn to seek out the truth and protect the prophesised boy... who likes to fight in a white dress with long sleves and must surely get in the way... also it is uber clevage showing... anyways and by knowledgable wizard, Zul Zurakal-something or other who likes to be naked....
He has a magical sword that once he picks up knows how to use without any prior training, and a book of knowledge that cant fall into the evil lords hands as he'll use the power to control the world... blah blah blah....
Has to battle through hordes of soldeirs, wizards and random dark creatures...
You get the gist of it.
SO
First impressions-
The first episode- which was actually episode one and two combined... so it went for like an hour and a half.... it wasnt too bad... not fantastic.. but not horrible either... you could tell that it was directed by the same guys as Xena. Its not quite as humourous in that the acting is terrible and the jokes are stupid and badly written... its a bit more serious. The main character is actually pretty hot... he's randomyl introduced building a small bridge over a river... shirtless obviously... nice bod though, very well defined.. *drools*
*ahem*
Anyways... so far the other actors are alright, the chick.. who will more than likely turn out to be the love interest is pretty, but not overly pretty... and as pretty as her dress is she shouldnt wear it as it really would just get in the way of all her fighting. Her acitng is ok, there are times when its a little flat, but at least she doesnt have an annoying voice like a certain blonde pseudo lesbian storyteller sidekick.... *cough cough*
And wizard... who is introduced standing naked in the moonlight and possibly violating a chicken is not too bad either... i've seen the actor in something before.... but not sure what...
The evil lord looks a greasy wog... and considering he's supposed to have been around for awhile he looks just a bit too young to really be an effective evil dude... im sure they cast him becuase he's meant to be the good guys evil counterpart... but it didnt work for me... and he just doesnt look evil enough... more slightly emo... im sure if they have a musical episode he will head bangong to some random emo band (I can't actually think of any band names right now... i don't listen to the stuff.. not my thing)
So yeah... its not fantasticly mind blowing... but its worth a wath if you think you might enjoy it....
