From the "Only in Janine Land Files"

* I spent five hours (!) getting acrylic nails done for free by a masters student, and now I find it takes me at least three goes to enter the code on the doors at work to get them to open! I can't push the buttons properly! My nails look fab though ;)

* After 2 years of working at the movies you would also think I could make microwave popcorn without burning it by now......apparently not!

* Trust me to walk into Bunnings Warehouse with Mum so she could get a new toilet seat and STILL find something pretty and girly to buy! In an hardware shop! If shopping were an Olympic sport, I would get the gold medal.

* I sat through Surf's Up the other day. The entire excruciating 85 minutes. Dumb. Dumb. Dumb.

* I am extremely addicted to Scrabulous on FB at the moment, so if I haven't already got a game going with you, feel free to start one! Was up until 2:30am this morning playing! Oops!

* I've also decided to abandon the whole "Operation Get Married" plan and focus on a more achievable means of becoming a lady of leisure: winning Lotto. Much, much easier to do than finding a decent man who knows how to treat a lady right!


And in other news, I am heartbroken that I can't audition for the Auckland Theatre Company's open call for young actors to be in their version of Taming of the Shrew - one of my fav Shakespeare plays. If accepted, you need to available for a three week workshop in January. Unfortunately we will be down to only three managers at work, so there's no way I could get the time off :(
I guess I just have to get over it and hope they offer the oppourtunity again next year!
For those of you who think you could be free over the hols to apply, go to:

www.opencall.co.nz

If you get in though, I'll probably hate you forever....well not forever.....maybe a week.

In happier news, face painting is something that I think I have a natural talent for! Yay! We started off with an easy Batman mask and next week we are doing a butterfly and then the next two classes we can have a go at whatever design we want. Will put up a pic of my work once RJ emails it to me.
I also need some volunteers to practise on......hint, hint, nudge, nudge, wink, wink.....I'll give you a lollipop!
I want to get pretty up to scratch on it since I have 3 parties booked for the next couple of months for which I would like to be able to offer it and make some extra moolah! Whoop whoop! Well, four parties if you count my own, which of course, you know I do! :p
