Does anyone know if there's going to be a Panto handover thing?

So Lindz and I went to Supanova today.  There were many interesting seminars, though unfortunately a couple who I wanted to see clashed. 
I managed to see Spike Spencer, who had an interesting seminar on "How to be a Frickin Genius Voice Actor," Karl Urban (got autograph and photo!), Tim Sale (who drew/inked Lindz an awesome picture of Batman in the rain), and Dave Gibbons, who spoke about Watchmen and Green Lantern. 

They were all very interesting Q&A sessions and funny guys. 

Other people I knew of who I didn't get to see were Stanislav Ianevski (Victor Krum in GoF), Jake Lloyd (Young!Anakin in Ep. I) and Christopher Sabat (voiced Vegeta, Piccolo and some others from DBZ). 

There was also some dude from Twilight - I'm SO sad I missed his Q&A. /sarcasm

I met Karl Urban.  He's awesome.  I love him in everything I see him in (YES, EVEN RIDDICK.  HE WAS GOOD IN THAT TOO).

Here's a photo <3

( Space is disease and danger wrapped in darkness and silence! )

All the cosplayers were great fun to look at.  There was a male Princess Leia, which was kind of awesome.  And a tiiiiny Captain Hammer, n'aaaaaw!

Michael, my laptop, fell off my bed and cracked his screen.  D: D: D:





T_T    Baaaaaaaaaaaaaaw! 

I suppose that he now matches Wilson, my phone.  lskaedjfhblfgboh

So we had a Panto meeting tonight. 

I'm next semester's sexretary. W00t! 

Also?  Uh...  I'm co-directing.

Eeep.  What've I gotten myself into?  It seemed like a good idea at the time!


On the plus side: It's going to be about zombies! :D  How awesome is that?

This will only make sense if you've seen the House, M.D. finale.   SO SPOILERS FOR HOUSE EP 5.24!

( Yo, dawg )

I've been watching X-Men the animated series on youtube and have become as addicted as I was when it first came out in the 90s.

I blame rogueambition  for letting us watch it during Panto production week in the theater.  

Because of this, I'm now doubly psyched for X-Men Origins: Wolverine.  Omg you guys, I'm so excited!  They have Gambit!!!  He was always my favourite - I even spazzed out when his name flashed up on the screen in X2 for like two seconds while Mystique looks through computer files in Stryker's office. (Watch the movie, it's there: Remy LeBeau)

So as many of you know, sometimes I like to draw and paint stuff.

This X-Men obsession has crept up on me and wouldn't let go, so instead of doing my essay I drew Gambit:


( To my friends, de name's Remy LeBeau. To my enemies, it's Gambit!  )



And here's some lineart of the same pic, with my utter fail attempt crosshatching:


( You can go on ahead an' forget dat first name right about now. )

... Ta-da?  Idk, felt like drawing.  Thoughts? Comments? Constructive criticism?

So who else is excited for the new Wolverine movie?  I've liked all of them so far despite the lack of Gambit, even though the third was a wee bit sketchy I still liked it.

Oh and Panto went well.  Thanks everyone who came and supported me/us. <3

Guh I didn't believe it until I saw it.  Oh my fucking God. You need to fucking see this.

( Cut for 1 pic )

Dayum!

Hey so Panto's coming along.  I was cast as Tweedledee XD
I was voted UniSFA fresher rep, (dispite technically being third-year, it's apparently open to whoever's a UniSFA newbie).
I saw Watchmen a couple of times last week.  I still have yet to read it, and apparently they left lots of stuff out.  But I liked it very much.  I want a macro/gif icon to be made of the hair twirl that's used in all the advertisements that says, "Because I'm worth it."  

I have lots of reading which I cbf to do :/  To procrastinate, I watched the latest ep of House, M.D. (my comment is the same as usual; funny and awesome, but needs moar Chase).  There were bits with Wilson which referenced eps in season 1 - one being monster trucks, and another which might be too much of a spoiler so I won't post - which makes me happy.  Hooray continuity!  I have S5 of Six Feet Under which I haven't yet watched.  Though I'm afraid if I start that, I won't stop, and I need to do my readings/assignments at some point.  Eh.

One of my communications units, Designing Virtual Play, looks awesome - we play games in workshops and create them and have a voluntary assassins tournament going on.  The other one requires me to rewrite a fairy tale, fable or myth that has some sort of 'significance' to me.  Any ideas, people?  What fairy tale is significant to me?

Hey guys. I haven't updated in a while, or read my flist in ages. I don't know why - I just haven't been in the mood. So I'm doing a meme to hopefully get me back into the swing of things.


( TV meme )


Well there you go! I hope to update again soonish. I've just started uni again, which is stressfull what with panto getting underway and all. This one is called James Bond in Alice's Wonderland and should be very good. (It'd better be; I'm producing)
I saw FOB a couple of weeks ago. I love them and they are awesome. Read up on some of the more crap bits here.  Coming home that night(morning) to a house that had been broken into was less awesome. Only one thing has been taken that we can tell, which wasn't very expensive or anything, but I think they kicked my dog or something. >(
I'll put pictures of the show up at some point soon, I hope.

Goddamnit

Short version: Random comp winners may be given early entry in front of those who've paid a lot of money for it.

Wilson: Ah yes, if it isn't Dr. Ironside.

House: Ah, if it isn't Dr. I Had No Friends When I Was Growing Up So All I Did Was Watch TV By Myself Which Is Why I Can Now Make Constant Pop Culture References Which No-One Understands But Me.

Wilson: ...That's my name, don't wear it out.

XD



(PS:  The latest leaked FOB song is awesome. It has Elvis Costello too.)

The night before last I had a dream, and I think my subconscious is trying to tell me something. It wasn't a bad dream.  It was quite a good dream, in fact.

Okay so a lot of things happened in this dream of mine, but one of them was that I auditioned for NIDA.  And I got in.
So throughout my dream I'm spazzing out, thinking I'm going to NIDA and just celebrating in general.

And then I woke up and came back to reality and was like, fucking damn it.  Maybe this is telling me more than I want to think about right now.

My Panicobracademy update is still coming.  It's gonna be so old news by the time I actually get around to it.  Ah well.

I love-ah my baby! (I love-ah my baby!)
I love-ah my baby! (I love-ah my baby!)
Hey! Hey! Hey!
And my baby loves me!


So I saw All Shook Up last night, presented by Mesh Theatre Company, which a friend from Panto was in.

It was awesome!!! :D  It's a musical which incorporates heaps of well-known/loved Elvis Presley songs. (Kind of like how Mamma Mia is filled with ABBA) Based in part on the stories of 'Twelfth Night' and 'Footloose'.  It's showing at Perth Convention Centre.  There are two performances left, both of them tomorrow (Saturday 6th Sept '08) at 2:00PM and 7:30PM.

Go see it!

/Pimp.

My Panicatthedisccobracademyistarship recap will be done eventually, when I have time and don't have 234345684 assignments due next week.
Remember to vote tomorrow because otherwise you'll get a fine! (Oh and something about being part of the decision process or something?)

Cobra/TAI.../Panic in four days! :D

Lindz got early entry and a Panic meet & greet! *Jealous* How exciting!!! XP

Expect a ridiculously long and probably boring recap afterwards, as per usual. (See also: BDO, MCR, FOB, LP, Soundwave recaps)

In other news, I had to work from 6:30AM this morning, which meant walking to work in the freezing cold at 6:15AM.  Joy.

I dyed my hair.


BUT OH HAI WAIT A SECOND WHAT'S THAT UNDERNEATH?!


Yay :)

I just saw The Dark Knight.

I predicted a low-ish mark in English, seeing as I handed in my research essay - worth 50% - over a week late. 

Augh don't want the holidays to end.  How will I get by without listening to the Once More, With Feeling! and RENT soundtracks for a billion hours a day?

We have a title for the new Panto:  A Very Young and Restless Fairytale.  It'll be in October, put it in your calendar!

The Big Read reckons that the average adult has only read 6 of the top 100 books they've printed. Well let's see.

1) Look at the list and bold those you have read.
2) Italicise those you intend to read.
3) Underline the books you LOVE.
4) Reprint this list in your own LJ so we can try and track down these people who've read 6 and force books upon them ;-)
