So, the recording of my podcast today was an epic win. I had a total of one person host with me. ONE! Screw Mother’s Day, someone should have come and hosted with me! Nah, I’m just kidding. I love my mum and she understands why I can’t get her a present this year because I’m saving for Azkatraz. Her birthday is also in June... I don’t know what I’m going to do about that yet.
Recent additions to Songs for the Memories include:
Follow Me Uncle Kracker
Voodoo Child Rogue Traders
Strawberry Kisses Nikki Webster
Do Wah Diddy Diddy Manfred Man
My Band D12
Now I’ve downloaded Strawberry Kisses by Nikki Webster and my sister and I made a music video to it. I have our other music video to Shake It by Metro Station on the fiveaussiegirls channel but my sister and I decided to create a new channel just for our music videos. We’re calling it Illoura Productions (I can’t say why) and we have plans to do tons more videos to Hot n Cold by Katy Perry, Flaunt it and Fuck You Right Back and many more. Check it out here: www.youtube.com/illouraproductions
For the uneducated, Nikki Webster is the little thirteen year old girl who sang at the Sydney 2000 Olympics. Afterwards she had mild success with her debut single Strawberry Kisses and album Follow Your Heart. And what was not to love? She’s a little thirteen year old girl singing poppy, dance tracks wearing hot pink leather.
There hasn’t been much heard from her since then. She played Dorothy in the Wizard of Oz theatre show thing and was a contestant on the Australian Dancing With the Stars and apparently had a fling with her dance partner. She did a cover of ‘Dancing in the Street’ which the music video for was recorded at Movie World (a theme park/amusement park) the day I was there on my birthday! I actually have a picture of that somewhere...
Anyways, I hate Sundays. Even though it’s the weekend and I have a break from work the day always goes by too quickly and them I’m in a bad mood because I know I have to go to work tomorrow. I finished Nick and Norah’s Infinite Playlist and Beyond the Horizon this weekend so I’m happy about that. My mum is also going to withdraw $25 from my savings account so I can pay for the library fines and get the books that are on order. Yay Mum!
Now, onto the things I wanted to talk about. Do you have a period in your day/week where you’ll just think about things like what’s going on in your life or what you’re doing in the future or where you’re life’s headed/stuff like that? I think about things like this at night, right before I go to bed. I’ll daydream about Azkatraz at various points in my day but at night I think about life.
Before I left school, assignments and exams were mostly consuming this thought time. Now I’m thinking about Azkatraz, meeting John Green, reading, my novel and my plans for finishing school in the future. I like thinking about things.
I love laughing. I like things that are funny like comedy films and shows. But I hate horror/thriller movies/shows or violent supernatural shows. Some examples of shows I’m unable or find it very difficult to watch: Ghost Whisperer, Dexter, Underbelly, Law and Order and most recently Harper’s Island. It is playing on the television right next to me at the moment and I don’t know how I haven’t turned it off yet.
Oh my god! I’m turning it off! Okay, now the television is off I can blog without fear of waking my whole house up. I’m fairly certain I won’t be spoiling anyone here because this is an American show and the people I know of reading my blog are American. The show started with a whole group of people on a boat at a dock in Seattle, Washington.
Basically the “line” for the show was that one person would die every episode. This put me off straight away but as the show was on after Rove and an MA15+ rating popped up I wanted to see what was on because I knew it wasn’t Dexter. The show centres around Harper’s Island where seven years ago a serial killer named John Wakefield viciously murdered six people.
Two of the main characters are engaged and now seven years later they are taking their bridal party out to this island for the week. The groom’s best friend, Abby, was on the island when the murders took place and her mother was one of the victim’s. Now, I don’t know how I was able to keep watching after a PERSON (Cousin Ben) was ATTACHED TO THE PROPELLER THINGY ON THE BOTTOM OF THE BOAT.
I don’t know if his head came off when the boat started! I was covering my face and also I have really bad reception on my television so the part I did catch I couldn’t make it out. I just know there was like an explosion of blood in the water! The reason I just turned off the television before was because the captain of the boat thought something was underneath the boat and called some others over to investigate. I didn’t need to watch anymore. I already knew it’d be horrific.
Now, despite my “fear” of stuff like this I have seen several horror films, all of which I’ve been forced into watching by my sister who loves them. I’ve seen Gothika (which isn’t really that much of a horror), When a Stranger Calls (again, really mild), a bit of Wolf Creek, Deep Blue Sea, Anacondas, American Werewolf in London, Hide and Seek (got forced into seeing this at the cinema with a couple of friends), a bit of Kill Bill (all I saw is the chick in yellow get stabbed in the stomach?) and The Hills Have Eyes 2. (I didn’t even see the first one, but the second one was bad enough for me).
I have the same problem with hospital shows. Any shows that have operations and things of the sort I’m unable to watch properly. I used to watch House because I liked the bits that didn’t have operations because it’s funny. I would sit there on a Wednesday night at 8:30, armed with a pillow to cover my face. On an unrelated note, Cashmere Mafia was on after this and I don’t know what happened to it. I think it might have been axed which is too bad coz I really liked that show even though it was a bit Sex and the City-ish. I don’t know how I’m able to make this comparison having never watched Sex and the City, but I’ve heard enough about it I think.
My family knows about this issue of mine. My mum sometimes watches hospital shows too so it can be really bad. If I see the television on a channel that has some operation going on I’ll have to quickly turn away and scream “Change the channel! Change the channel!” It has happened by accident too sometimes and it aint pretty. I’m a romantic comedy and sketch show girl all the way. I much prefer laughing to screaming, thank you very much.
I think that’s enough out of me for tonight. It is ten thirty and I’m going to go get a drink, clean my teeth and curl up in bed with my iPod on MuggleCast #174: It’s All Coming Back. Cross your fingers that I don’t fall asleep before the episode ends like I did with Smart Mouths last night... though I had already listened to that episode of SM before...
I will also be praying to the God of McDonalds that Hogwarts Radio will come out this week.
UPDATE: I wrote this last night and episode 30 is out now! Thank you, God of McDonalds!
