Heard the Band Aid 20 version of this song recently (how crap does it sound?) and, being in Katherine at the time, remembered that we actually bought the original on VINYL (what's that, you ask?) so of course it comes with this glorious CD Cover.... er... I mean LP cover. It's only just ticked over into Christmas and, oops, I'm still up. Spare a thought for "the other ones", because "thank God it's them instead of you..." hmm...

What you didn't know is that Disney also produces children's horror flicks. Like this one...

Terrible, isn't it? December has barely started and I'm already on holidays. Yay! Even so, my "to do" list is preventing me from feeling like I have time to relax. There are things to do that I had put off, y'know, the fun stuff like my tax return. And there's still the seasonal pressure of present-buying, which is GREAT when you're as indecisive as I am.

I also have to find time to jump out of a plane!!! courtesy of JPB in honour of my new-found thirty-ness; a strange choice of present because, now that I'm officially over the hill, it's not like I need to go any faster on the downward spiral of life.

Anyway, so far the start of the holidays has been pretty eventful. It began with a punk-themed Christmas party that I feel like I've only just recovered from. On Monday BO-A showed me a video she filmed on her phone of the party and I honestly cannot remember that happening but the evidence is clear. The only downer was at three in the morning the cunting Stonewall door bitches were enforcing their straight girl quota policy thinly disguised as an anti-"open-toed-shoe" policy which meant one of my dear friends that I had been having such a good time with went home early. Nevertheless, the night up 'til that point was awesome.

Also went to see Branch Nebula's Paradise City, which was a terrific mash of performance skills. A skater, a break-dancer, a BMX rider, an acrobat, a dancer and a fallen diva... facing each other off (as you would do on the street, y'know...) and it was great to see them at times taking on each other's qualities in their own way. Worth seeing. That as well as Emio Greco | PC on the Friday, not to mention James Bond on Monday, and I'm having a pretty good serve of culture... Sure makes doing an end-of-year Top 5 list of performing arts events even harder (what did I see this year again???)

Anyway, I'm rambling. Sorry about the post going nowhere...

Created by my friend anton an co. The footage originally comes from Einselganger, a dance film presented as part of ReelDance's Take 12 and screened most recently at CineMoves.

Managed to score a couple of tickets to tonight's premiere of Casino Royale at the State Theatre. Woo hoo! I got to flash my magic pass and walk down the red carpet with DB. None of the photographers bothered to take a picture of us, despite me positively glowing from my morning facial and DB looking stunning in her slinky black dress. Oh well... Bondy was rather late, which wasn't very surprising - Sydney traffic is crap and Market Street was reduced to a slow crawl. But we did get to see his arrival (luckily I know all the right people!) despite the ushers shepherding everyone into the theatre so that he wouldn't have to deal with us plebs.

SPOILER ALERT!!!

The movie was pretty good and Daniel Craig really is hot as James Bond. The incredible first action scene had JB running after scarface monkey-man as he effortlessly jumped up and over a construction site. Even the mid-movie card game kept us on the edge. You get to see alot of Sony products in the movie, by the way, not to mention a Ford car (before JB develops a penchant for Aston Martin) and JB falling in love, of all things. If anything, it's slightly too long but still pretty exciting.
