dark rooms, flat bum

MIFF list for 2011... there are 44 films in my very near future over a very short time period. i'll keep you posted.

who's who?

this was an interesting episode because there were two romanas in it. what i mean is that the doctor is travelling with romana version one and their adventure takes them to this planet, where the princess embodies the physical representation of who romana version two becomes. it's all a bit confusing and i haven't seen the episode where romana one regenerates yet. that's a tale yet to be told.

seeds of nightmares

another trip to the library and more dvd's to watch. i believe this episode of dr who may have contributed to my little sister's night terrors whilst growing up. i recall a couple of times her being trapped in her nightmares, babbling about plants coming to get her. hmm... i would say sorry sis but perhaps you shouldn't have watched them with me at the time??

maggots!

this is one of my favourite episodes. i've always remembered the maggots and the green death. this is companion jo's last episode as she heads off to journey down the amazon with the long haired ecologist professor. ah, sweet 1973.

let's play!

art of the brick is showing at fed square. i lined up with a zillion kids and a couple of parents to wander through these amazing and inspiring creations. yes, this is lego you see before you.
















all sorts of things going on at the permanent exhibition of screen worlds at acmi... from the early days of film and the lumiere brothers, through to television and current digital technologies. a lot of fun to spend time in.

my neighbourhood...

no, really.

july already

and i've volunteered to help out with the 2011 melbourne writers' festival. eek! i needed to get involved with the community more and i figured this is a great way of being part of something as well as attending something i'm interested in.


the festival doesn't start until late august but that will give me a chance to get over those long dark sessions of the film festival (which is about to knock on my door again).


introduction of adric to the show. i remember having such a crush on him as an 11 year old. how was i so blind to his whiney, selfish manner? ahh... youth.
