Girlie Weekend

My sister came all the way from the other side of town to see Eclipse with me at my local haunt. She is such a doll, I know it was a frantic morning getting over here by 10 am in time to see the movie.... It was fun and we loved it. Again I heard the Florence and the Machine song 'I'm So Heavy in Your Arms' in the credits of the movie and I so need to get this, love this song.....

So scrapbooking wise, I have 2 layouts that are about 2 great songs...Credits: Where Did She Come FromCredits: I'm So Heavy In Your Arms

My sister and I had a lovely time. Walked around the shops until 3.30 in the afternoon, we were exhausted by the time we got home, so we had some Midori and watched a Russell Brand DVD I bought. Then hubby went and bought pizza for tea and we watched a vampire movie. Then we watched 'Enid' a movie about Enid Blyton with the wonderful Helena Bonham Carter.
She went home the next afternoon, which was entirely too early, but she has a family of her own and needed to get back to them but we had a great time. Tho next time I will buy something else a bit stronger... Midori is just lolly water, lol!
Happily, on the Friday I was able to pick up the 2 Hard Ons CDs I had ordered and my package from England came with the Hard Ons CD and DVD: 'Hard Ons Versus Europe 2007' from their record company Boss Tuneage. So on the Saturday I watched the video with my sister, lots of fun!
Today, while I was trotting around the internet, I found this cool song 'You Don't Like Rock and Roll' by Hunx and His Punx. It is a scream, cool and so true. Like I said on my sisters video blog, if you don't like The Ramones, then I don't wanna know ya! LOL! (that is really a joke... after all, my husband doesn't like them, lol!)
Here are the lyrics to the song, I may have one or 2 wrong, but I just had to write them down, so fun!
You Don't Like Rock and Roll

It's not that I think you're bad looking,
You don't like rock and roll
It's not that I don't like your cooking
You don't like rock and roll
I think you've got a nice body
You don't like rock and roll
All my friends think you're a hottie
But you don't like rock and roll
What the heck is wrong with you,
I think you've sniffed too much glue
You don't like rock and roll And I don't like you.
I kinda think you must be retarded
You don't like rock and roll
I don't want to leave you broken hearted
But you don't like rock and roll
The music you like won't get my ears buzzing
You don't like rock and roll
I think your parents must have been cousins
You don't like rock and roll
What the hell is wrong with you
I think you've sniffed too much glue
You don't like rock and roll And I don't like you.
You like Morrissey and like U2
What the f*** is wrong with you
Are you deaf or just plain dumb
You don't like Joey you don't like John
You don't like the Ramones
So you gotta leave home
It hurts me boy to say goodbye
But you don't like rock and roll
You know I hate to see you cry
You don't like rock and roll
The music you like totally spoils it
You don't like rock and roll
I wanna shove your head into the toilet
You don't like rock and roll
What the hell is wrong with you
I think you've sniffed too much glue
You don't like rock and roll and I don't like you.

Sunday Afternoon

The end of the week end, *sigh*
The kids had 2 days off during the week for the annual Exhibition fair.
We didn't go but it was nice to have the time off getting up early for school.I ordered a Hard Ons CD and DVD from their record company in England, so I am looking forward to them arriving plus I have 2 other CDs on order at the local record store.
Recently I also had 2 fun orders arrive from England...
Australia isn't really into Halloween that much, so bat obsessed me has been unable to find these here, so was forced to finally look elsewhere for these gorgeous bat themed objects....A scrapbooking bat paper punch and a bat cookie cutter, which is the cutest thing, I can't wait to make bat cookies with this! :)I also got my new purple Nokia phone on Saturday, so happy! I have to work out how to use the thing now!
I still haven't done many layouts recently. I have felt completely uninspired, however, I have started a layout with the lyrics of 'Where Did She Come From' by the Hard Ons... I just need to find a suitable mermaid to put on it... as there is a girl in the video clip dressed as a mermaid and I want to have this old double exposed photo of me as a teenager... coz I have been wondering lately were did 'she' go... lol... I really need to get the latest version of ACDeeSee, I am totally lost without it.... makes scrapping completely crap without it. I was hoping to use the freeware 'Windows Live Photo Gallery' but for the life of me, I can't work out how to use it... I can only see jpgs in there, which is useless for a digital scrapbooker.... I need to be able tag pngs with it.... so if anyone know where I can go to read decent tutorials for it, please link me up!
I am looking forward to this week end coming, my sister is coming over on Friday to see 'Eclipse' with me and staying for a girlie week end. I am getting some Midori and we are going to giggle and watch girlie movies together and have lots of fun. Hubby will have to supervise the kids, coz I am going to be off duty! Bring on Friday!!!

Hard Ons Gig!

The Friday before we went to see the Hard Ons I went into the city to get the tickets and bought 4 Hard Ons CDs, one being their recent album. So I listened to these over and over all day Friday and Saturday before we went.Here we are just before we left to get the bus into the Valley and before it went all pear shaped for poor Rob, lol. Rob decided to get irrationally jealous, I'm talking off the planet jealous! Oh dear... He believes that my eyes lit up when I saw the band.... umm... they are my all time favourite band at the moment.... I may have smiled... I was happy after all.... I don't think I was giving them puppy dog eyes... surely?? Never mind, I really enjoyed the night and they played brilliantly. I knew most of the songs... What Would Stiv Bators Do, Sunny, Two Laps in Serbia (I love that song and it is SO good live!) There Goes One of the Creeps That Hassled My Girlfriend, Don't Fear The Reeperbahn (mind you these are in no particular order and I can't remember all of them) Raining, I Don't Want to See You Cry, quite a few songs off the new album and a few oldies were sung too.... I was really thrilled they played 'Where Did She Come From' as one of their encores ... and they came back onstage 3 times (much to hubby's dismay, lol) It was a great night and I am so glad I insisted Rob take me. The only disappointment was that the stage wasn't raised a little, so I could see them better. Hard On fans all seem to be 6 foot or taller... here are a few if the meagre photos I managed to snap.... hubby, who is 6 foot, totally refused to take any photos for me, lol!It may have taken me 4 days to placate the husband afterwards but it was worth it, lol! :)
The following Saturday night we went to see Ecdlipse. That was fun too, probably not so much for poor old Rob, lol. Yes, I'm a spoilt brat... well, it's about time I say.... I must have done something right, because he is now insistent that I upgrade my phone... can't afford the lovely purple blackberry but this purple Nokia will make me just as happy..I should be getting it next Thursday, yeah! :)
