And only a day shift this Tuesday and then I'm done! :(
Am trying to fill in all the "I've always Wanted Tos" before we close - tonight Jess and I played hide and seek between sessions and on Tuesday I must remember to bring a pair of pants so I can cartwheel the lentgh of the foyer! Haha! Yup, I'm nuts, but I've alwasy wanted to! It's so long and straight.....
In other news, I may have a new job! In fact I'm 99% sure I got the job at Carlton Party Hire. I got a phone call tonight asking me to go in AGAIN tomorrow to "go over papers and things"! Yay!
Tomorrow is also my lubbly Mama's birthday so am currently planning her an awesome birthday cake. Will post pics when it's done!
OK, review time:
First up a theatre review of Riverlea Theatre's The Cemetery Club. I went along because my fabulous drama teacher / good friend is in it and it is directed by another good friend. The blurb didn't make it sound all that exciting, but it was fab! Sweet, sad and awfully funny. "Some one stole the lightswitch" had me in hysterics all the way home!......You had to be there.
Anyway, I went preview night, so there is still plenty of time for you all to get your bottoms down there to see it! Go!
WALL.E - what a sweet film. I actually clapped aloud several times.....which was ok, coz I had the cinema to myself! Have been waiting for this one for awhile and I was not disappointed....unlike The Mummy 3: Curse of the Dragon Emperor. Utter crap. I nearly walked out, but morbid curiosity kept me there until the end.
Now, I am one of The Mummy films' loyalist followers, but this was bad. First of all is the fact that Rachel Weisz was replaced. Now, Maria Bello is great and I have nothing against her, but I HATE it when they just replace one character with another actor instead of writing them out and adding a new character. It never works!
Also, the humour in this one was completely nonexistant. I believe there were two jokes...the first which takes place at the book signing, is apparently one everyone misses according to my conversations with SkyCity employees. The second involves vomit. Nuff said.
Jonathon is very underused, which is a shame because he is the only character to remain the same. The others have been changed beyond recognition.
In short, don't bother. If you want to see it, wait till it's on tv.
One good thing about it....the costumes. 40s fabulousness. Brilliant.
And now a Friday Five....
1. Who is your favorite author?
I have several. Margaret Mitchell, LM Montgomery, Nicholas Sparks and Paullina Simons to name but a few.
2. What is your favorite book/series?
Again, several! Gone With the Wind, Anne of Green Gables, The Notebook and The Bronze Horseman by the afore mentioned authors respectively.
3. Who is a book hero you most wish to be like?
Tatiana in The Bronze Horseman or Scarlett O'Hara.

Scarlett O'Hara gets Rhett Butler. What's not to envy?!
