the week so far...

monday was dancing and baking for the last lindy at brunswick for the year. took along custard powder cookies, just like mom used to make. mmm... tuesday was a walk into the city for trivia with jamie and jenn (the two jc's). then we headed up six flights of stairs to the rooftop cinema for chinatown with mark, eloise and andrea. i hadn't seen the film before and i had expected something just a little more from it. beautifully shot and set but it was just a little slow and kind of so what? and i didn't really empathise with any of the characters. it was nice seeing parts of l.a. though. echo park lake in the early 70s was lovely. when i was living in the nearby suburb of silverlake, not so much. ;)... wednesday i went on my first home inspection in richmond. let's just say NO to that one. then picked up trish on the way to elsternwick to watch george clooney's latest, up in the air. it was so so. company was super though... moving onto thursday. a three hour work lunch. then fighting through traffic mayhem. yes it was raining and with only 8 sleeps til christmas, people were a tad feral. had a look through another apartment, really nice but on the second floor and the living area needs to be a larger to fit my table and chairs. i'm not giving those up. a quick dinner at raffles with dave and clare before dave and i schmoozed at the offices of a whole group of producers/ directors/ writers. so i didn't network that much, but i showed up and smiled a bit. give me a break. i'll get there.
