The final dilemma


Does this:

Plus this:

equal this?

Finals are next week and I'm officially stressing. I am so tired I can't think straight, I keep conjugating all my french around the wrong way. My friend suggested that I go to a yoga class with her on Sunday to get relaxed. I've never tried yoga. I tried Pilates onces at home and kept rolling over the floor, I felt so....what's the word?....ungraceful! So I'm wondering if all those Hollywood stars are telling the truth, is Yoga a relaxing way to get fit? Watch this space and wait for an update.

Casino Baby Yeah!



Can I say love? hmmmm I think so. Ok, I must have been the first sceptic when I heard that Daniel Craig was going to be playing Bond. It's just that Bond has always been so suave and handsome and well I'll admit that I didn't find that when I saw a picture of Daniel.

But Oh have I changed my mind. Alex and I went to see the movie the other day and it was nothing short of awesome. I think I can say, oh god I'm going to say it, that was the best Bond film I've ever seen! (She said it, gasp)

Room for me?

He made Bond so natural and so real that you really get into the story. Most Bond films are just an action packed thrill ride but this one had heart. There's still lots of action but they got rid of all those ridiculous gadgets that Bond used to carry around (that's not just toothpaste is it?) I remember thinking that Bond can't be Bond without the gadgets and the martinis, but it wasn't until the end of the film that I realised there hadn't really been any. For the first time Bond got sweaty, bloody and oh so damn sexy.

If you haven't already seen it, go! Right now! Stop reading this and Go! Just kidding, finish this, leave a comment and then go. I was just reading an article about Judi Dench and she said that she caught a glimpse into Daniels trailer and saw, well....quite alot. Her comment: It's a Monster. Oh yes!

The Guts Girls part 2

Vance "Lady Helena" and I
For three weeks I've been working in the costume department at Concordia on the production "The Gut Girls" I had the most amazing experience. It was fun to work backstage for once, every other production Ive been in I've worked as an actor. I still prefer being on stage but I had so much fun backstage too.

Lady Helena ready to go

Gut girls is a production about a group of girls working in the gutting sheds. Its an emotional and funny play and all the actors were brillant. Because the girls work in the gutting sheds their costumes are all red with blood and part of my job was splattering blood all over their faces and in their hair.....ahhh the things we do for money.


The cast do a warm up before going on for their last show.
