Another birthday another challenge...

Good evening, apologies for my recent neglect. There is no excuse except that I have been otherwise distracted with living life in the real world. So what have we here? Just a few photo's from Ava's "Alice in Wonderland" themed 21st birthday party! :-D


The beautiful birthday girl Ava (aka Alice) + cake



Poor Bell, she was dressed as the red queen (inspiration from this years movie adaptation of this timeless classic) and we just couldn't figure out how to get the white face paint to spread evenly... that and I forced her to do the whole bright blue eye shadow thing which quite hesitant/afraid of... and I'll admit that I basically had to tie her down to get it on... :-S... Sorry, but it was all in the name of the character and whilst I may enjoy taking photo's I am by no means a make-up artist.



Mum are you happy? I out a photo of me... I am the blue caterpillar after it has turned into a butterfly (and has gender reassignment I suppose).



Now Elvira is going to hate me for this one but it is on of my favourite shots. Look at how her hair looks like its on fire! But below is why I really started this post... Eddy, in my wings...

Now flick through the following two photo's 1, 2, 1, 2, 1,... this is how Eddy thinks her wings should flap so she can fly... the video has me crying of laughter but unfortunately I don't have a copy of it so you will have to use your imaginations... 1, 2, 1, 2, ...

Ramblings, and a journey from London to Amsterdam...



5 london to amsterdam_0024

So, its been rather cold this week here in sunny Sydney. Even had the coldest morning in 67 years (or some-such, I read it in one of the weekend paper but can't remember which one, day or part so I'll just make up the details shall I?) and as I cannot just pick up my bags and travel overseas to a warmer climate due to the expiration of my passport and my laziness in applying for a new one (damn passports - who was the dolt that decided they should expire anyway?!) - doesn't my grasp of the English language just astound you sometimes :-P - we are taking another pictorial journey back in time to the Northern summer of 2009... London to Amsterdam...

Last week sometime Eddy and I were scouting out dvd's to rent (due to the appalling choices available in the cinemas this winter) at our local Civic. Here's what went down...

Eddy: *spots a tittle from the distance and calls out the name*
Darcy: Oh yeah I know that one, its got what's-her-face in it, you know, ahh... blondies ex-husbands ex-girlfriend *looks towards Eddy for a sign of comprehension, confident in her own descriptive prowess*
Eddy: *Blank, confused, brows crease*
Darcy: What?!
Eddy: *Walks over to the cover, squints at the tittle and reads the name for herself. Then physically and verbally abuses Darcy for no apparent reason*

Meanwhile, at another time, in another part of town, I had a sudden lightbulb moment...


7 Amsterdam to Rhineland_0100

After being physically abused by Eddy in the name of her honours thesis, I decided that my body deserved a massage (okay so maybe thats not exactly how this turn of events happened but bare with me here). Apparently these days when you go for a massage, they get you to fill out some kind of health form.

I has all the usual questions; name, birthday, address, medical history... occupation... :-S

*light bulb*

I no longer have an occupation... I'm not a student anymore!!!
