?It was like no holds barred in terms of what people would try to eat, so they opened my fridge and started downing Tabasco and maple syrup? I gotta try me some of this Miracle Fruit. Flavour Tripping is the new regular tripping.

Awesomeness. Re-using the original Hobbiton set is brilliant. The fact that del Toro is insisting Ron Perlman will be in the film is deadly too.

Toast Force Five
Jesus Christ, that was a while in coming, wasn't it? I mean, the last one was when, April 20th?
LAST YEAR?
Well, I say a while, but as I mention during the show, this one actually went together in record time (once we sat down to actually put it together), thanks to some new equipment and a the fact that we had done some work on a lot of the track choices and mixes previously. Err... Anyhoo...

My advice for this one is to TURN THAT SHIT UP LOUD. It's a lively one.

Mission Control:
What is with the bloodywell mobile phone signal on this side of the country, I am still on "the mainland" and yet I have no bars. It's official West Is Best, I even had signal on Rottnest Island but not in Mission Beach, I mean I know it's in the sticks as far as the East Coast goes but seriously, that's just taking the piss. Also I am going to be on Islands till next feckin Tuesday (also on a boat sailing about the Whitsundays and hopefully doing another scuba duba dive) so I doubt that I will have any signal then. It's just annoying, I am travelling alone, sometimes you want to touch base with the outside world. Fook SAKE!!

Travel Update - Perth, Melbourne, Alice Springs, Melbourne, Cairns, Mission Beach
Oops, I kinda forgot about this, so it's gona be long or compacted! (heehee who am I kidding!)
Perth was amazing, it is my favourite place in the world now, I officially heart W.A. We went to Rottnest Island, or Rotto, it was 30 degrees of brilliant sunshine, we cycled 28.5 kms in about an hour and a half, we renamed a beach "Wasp Creek" - there were lots of wasps, I hate them, I ran about like a spa trying to avoid them, it was funny! We looked like dorks on our shite bikes and helmets - mushroom heads on tour to the max! We slept very well that night. I went to Kings Park and the Botanical Gardens, it was beautiful, there was a wedding there which I thought was pretty cool - it wasn't me getting wed don't worry!! Botanical Gardens were pretty cool as well! We went to an Irish Bar, drank pints and had fish n chips! Then I went to Whiteman Park (in a Ute!!!) and saw loads of animals and got to feed kangaroos and baba koalas and it was sweet, then had some fish n chips while watching the sun go down over the harbour in Freo! Bliss! We did laundry, I bought lots of shorts on sale in City Beach, my new fave shop, we went to Cottesloe Beach - where Heath Ledgers ashes are, I swam in the ocean which was brillo pads, then I got bitten 58 times by fucking sand flies, ow! Itch Fest 3000. We went to Scarborough Beach, also groovatron! I went to a Celtic V Rangers match, that was scary! Went to Penguin Island, got attacked by the killer seagulls, the fucking chumps had laid their eggs all where we were walking, on the walkways, assholes swooping down at us, I panicked big time, Marian said it was the most girly she had ever seen me, at least I had an excuse, picture the film The Birds, only about 10 times worse and in real life. eek! On my last day we chilled out on Bathers Beach, packed my stuff, ate all of my remaining food and went fishing down at the harbour, A US Naval Ship thang - I think maybe an Aircraft Carrier as there were planes etc all over it and what looked like a runway at the end?? - was docked in the harbour, giant sailors, I think they were all on steroids, they told us there was a McD's on board, healthy eh? I got really sad when I got to the airport. Perth was the first place that I felt the feeling of "home" since I left. Sob!
Got to Melbourne for my four hour visit, killed myself getting from the bis station to the apartment to transfer stuff. My mate drove me back to the airport literally 4 hours later (also in a Ute - coolio!) flew to Alice Springs, it was hot and a desert!
The next day I went on my tour to Kings Canyon, The Olgas and Uluru, it was cool and also VERY hot, sweaty betty, yum tastic. Apparently my outfit made me look like Teri Irwin, I don't know if that was a compliment or not. I met a Royal Flying Doctor on the tour - really!!! He said he had an Aboriginal Ointment for my Sand Fly bites, I would have rubbed shite on my skin at that stage, so the next day I met him at the supermarket and when I put it on my skin it was instant relief, the bites are now gone, happy days! The day tour was really cool and I am really glad that I saw everything. It was the longest most boring bus journey I have ever been on though, 5 hours of nothing but desert! Wild huh?
Then I flew back to Melbourne, where it was really cold, brrrrrrr! Did all my washing which was super exciting and hung out with my mates that live there, got some sushi, got some Boost Juice (your 5 a day in a cup - or something like that!) relaxed and walked about wearing socks for the first time in a long time - I don't really wear socks at home even in the winter, I dunno I just hate them, and boots, I think it's that my feet feel trapped or something! Also I wore a scarf, it was weird. Did some other inane stuff liek upload photos and that sort of jazz.
I flew to Cairns last Thursday, I really liked it, it was nice and warm and I met some really nice people. my hostel was ok, it had a pool and was clean and quiet enough, I like my sleep, quiet is great! I went to Peter Pans travel agents the next day and booked my way down the East Coast which was a good thang, my travel agent gave me a load of discounts and pretended that I had VIP and YHA cards which was cool, go on the Jordan, or Jordy as I have renamed him, then Carolien that I was hanging about with told me that he had been looking down my top, if my non cleavage got me a discount I am very proud of my 34B's, yahooo!! Saturday I went to the Rainforest and swam in rock pools and volcanic lakes, saw and took pics of some cool things, giant spiders etc. My fear of open water is getting better and better, I am still afraid to jump in though, I don't know if I will ever get over that! We had a yum lunch in this little tea rooms, proper home made stuff Mammy style, Mango sponge, it was like my little Mama's apple sponge only with mangoes, both equally delish! On Sunday I did my Great Barrier Reef deep sea dive which was the most amazing thing I have ever done and seen, it was like being in a dream. I got to do my supervised dive with just me and my instructor cause one of the 5 people dropped out at the last minute and then the other three couldn't equalise their ears - when you hold your nose and blow - it's too dangerous to go any deeper when you can't do that so it was just me and him, yay! He said I was really good and calm for a first time diver, most people run out of air from breathing too fast after 15 or 20 minutes, I lasted 35, most PADI qualified divers only last 40 minutes, so I was well chuffed to hear that. I saw loads of cool stuff, giant sea turtles, giant clams, the most amazing coral and colourful fish and loads of clown fish (Nemos). I heart The Great Barrier Reef yeeehaw!
Yesterday I was supposed to do a skydive on Mission Beach, but the weather was shit so I didn't get to do it, Queensland is a bitch, the hostel I am staying in here is cool, only at Mission Beach there is no phone signal, booooo!! Today I did White Water Rafting on the Tully River, it was cool and scary and I was too scared to jump off a big rock into the water and everyone else did it, I started to hyperventilate and was crying but most people were really cool with it and all "well done for even climbing up there" cause they knew that I was plopping it even thinking about it, but then one asshole guy started on me telling me I was a wuss. I really hate that. Everyone told him he was an asshole. I started to smile again after that! My boat was the only one where no one fell out by accident (only when we wanted to get thrown out) my instructor Zoe was really cool and all in all it was a great day, I am wrecked now though and have to get up super early to get a Greyhound to Townsville to go to Magnetic Island, which should be cool enough, lets just hope I wake up, my whole body hurts!
Oh and I almost forgot, my most amazing Ozzie Feat has been not caving in to the goon and 2 minute noodle diet, yahoo! I am drinking moderatly and only real wine or beer and I wouldn't eat a two minute noodle in a fit, say no to beige foods - unless of course it's bread. Mmm lovely bread!

Let the taggee know your entry is up.
Random thing #1 - The first major gig I went to was Guns N Roses in Slane Castle in 1991 - I think!! I was about 7 or 8. It rocked, so did I!!
Random thing #2 - The first CD I purchased with my pocket money was: Hole The First Session. Strangely enough the first Cassette Single I bought was Coolio 'Ganstas Paradise' ("As I walk through the valley in the shadow of death....") Yes I do still know all the words!
Random thing #3 - I still have no idea what I want to do for a living, all I know is that I want to help people in some way. Even though I have a qualification and I am good at it it's a pain in the arse job and I will be forever annoyed for not doing something else in college because now, at this stage of my life I am too scared to go back full time.
Random thing #4 - When I was 19 I had a total of 13 piercings - mostly facial, and I had crazily died hair, now I wear pearl earrings and have au naturel hair and face - ie: no makeup most of the time, apparently now I look younger than I did then, how odd seeing as I am 6 years older!
Random thing #5 - I hate throwing parties because I am always afraid that no one will show up, especially for my birthday, which is has been a disappointment every second year since I was 16 (I like to call it the pattern, based on last years this years should be good!)
Random thing #6 - I have been known to cry at a beautiful sunset, pathetic I know but I am a very emotional person, the last time I did it was last Friday in Fremantle, W.A, it was the last sunset I would see there, we had been fishing on the harbour, the sky was beautiful, orange and pink, there were dolphins in the harbour and I knew that it was the last time I would see my friend in a long time.

(with apologies to Adrian)
I took a few "action" photos of George and just had to set them to music. I think I picked the right track. I like 8-second videos.
