My favourite Fan Fics have been updated - yay! But the worst has happened in Perfect Girl and Ellie is having her Taylor Hanson induced Breakdown in Catapult - and its all so exciting and its left me wanting moreeee.
I've been eating salty corn chips and turkey sandwiches today...and I've been watching movieees since yesterday. I watched Undead - an Aussie zombie alien film, crazy. Infernal Affairs - that Andy Lau is such a hottie when he runs - Punch Drunk Love - beautiful, lovely, weird, interesting - SECRETARY - what happens when obsession, love, and pain creates one weird fucked up yet strangely inticing relationship.
Playlist:
Led Zepplin - the immigrant song
Nelly Furtado - Try
Brand New - Seventy times 7
the all american rejects - swing swing
Brand New - Mix tape
NFG - never give up
incubus - talk shows on mute

I didn't do anything last nite...i stayed home, i had my own anime nite, i watched about one episode of something then i think i fell asleep. Yesterday at myer was good. 9-5 is sooo much better than 9-9! I had fun though and i think i got more done too. I'm working again today 1-6pm in the ladies bfashion department, so if ur around come and say hihi.
I totally nforgot about the movie tomorrow lisa! I went and said yes to a mobile shift at myer from 11-4pm. maybe we can do nsomething after...see the nfilm at doncaster or something?
and im also working monday - doing recovery stuff from 9-1pm. that should be fuuuun...cleaning up the weekend's mess.
Im going out tonite - James has insisted that I go to the Armadale hotel tonite and see his band play. Hopefully he'll remember to put me on the doorlist...but that should be good. I'd like lisa to come along, but i dunno what she's doing at the moe..so i mite just get my brother to come and drive me. meanwhile my brother didn't get home till 6am vthis morning so he'll be passed out in his room till at least 3pm.

Every time I think about you heaven knows I fall into a groove, You're like a great interlude...
- tippy toe, utada hikaru
Hi all!
I'm soooooooo tired. Yes its only tuesday and I'm broke and run down. Nah I'm aight. I'll be fine tomorrow. I'm working from 9am-9pm at Myer setting up the christmas dept. my oh my...i'll be making money. For so long I've wanted a job and now I have one and it's just weird to think that now i'll have money - but also alot less time. Alot less time.
It seems everyone wants a piece of the evelyn pie - some stuff has been happening, i'll write about it later on...well i've told two ppl...but shhh..i dun wanna jinx myself or fuck up. So just know that its kinda exciting - but like it may not happen so im not getting my hopes up or anything...not that they were up.
Uni has suddenly dumped a whole lot of crap on me (crap being assignments and presentations and such) so i have alot of work to sit through and do over the next few weeks. I have an essay due next friday! I'm supposed to have one week of holidays - which according to the university that one week is more like uni but without the classes - there is a strange term for it, but i can't think of it now.
i'm looking for academic articles on weblogs - if you know of any, plz plz plz let me know.
Thanks! *muaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah*
playlist:
utada - kremlin dusk
ff7 piano collection - Aeris' theme
freestylers - push up (because of a conversation from today with lisa - about pictures of headless semi-naked ladies' bodies and why its sextist(see steve's mobile for more evidence of males who see women purely as objects of sexual gratification)).

I finally watched Blade Runner - director's cut - version last week. I liked it alot, although i think I may have prefered the book to the movie. Although it was a worthy adaptation.
When I have time Imight even do some writing, like a review of utada's new album or on the film Zoitochi or something...meanwhile - who wants to see Azumi? its a bad japanese samurai film- but the lead chick is hot, but lacks in facial expressions and the villians are the most amusing crazy bad evil-doers you will ever see - they are also fairly stupid (making holes in their hands or doing weird stuff infront of the camera and ruining perfectly good sentimental death scenes). I think i'll see it again hehe.
Is anyone else confused as to why Jessica Simpson feels the need to do more cover songs - and more bad video clips where she looks all innocent yet she creates a sexualised image of her self with her flowing blonde hair and pouty lips? And why, OH WHY does she feel the need to do a cover of the classic Robbie Williams song "Angels" (which seems to have become a karoke favourite of many people and of the kids on Aust Idol)? I kept wondering throughout the first half of the video when the hell they were gonna pull out the fairy wings for her, because this video was like watching a babyish stage play that a prep student may have put on(except with jessica's oh so sexy breathy vocals and coy smile). To me it just sounds over done and she's just singing it for the hell of it. I didn't feel any emotional connection to her rendition of it, it lacked the emotion and life experience needed to pull off that song.
Playlist for the nighttttttttttttttttttttt:
utada - let me give you my love
Houston - I like that
Guy Sebastian - out with my baby
Ciara - Goodies
starsailor - four the the floor
And whatever else i heard today that rocked my socks off!

- Bread with Alcohol makes ev less drunk

I dunno why. Im juust in the mooood for blogging. You should all feel so loved that I'm even bothering to write more useless wonderful silly shit for u all to read.
Well I just finished my media assignment - its not very good. I think i should have spent longer reading up on exactly what a textual analysis is (apparently its not just semiotic?!!) and i've uploaded it - but tomorrow i will hand in a cover sheet for it - its stupid handing one in now.
http://131.172.30.71/dmc04/echamlett/Evelyn%20Hamletts%20Assignment%201.htm
That's it there. click that link if u feel like being reading an essay of mine - a badly written essay of mine. I should reeeally start proof reading more often and stop writing my essays on the day their due.
I love henry rollins - you should all go and buy urself a fucking copy of his spoken word cds - cos its the mosssst crazy and funniest shit you'll ever hear. I seem to always listen to him when im essay writing, and its still funny every time i hear it.
Yesterday I went to jb hi-fi with my bro at eastylandy. We bought up big on the dvds again - but not of ourselves...for some strange reason the union at deakin uni geelong, seems to trust my brother with rather large amounts of money. In this instance, they wanted more dvds for their crappy rec room. So of course my brother petitioned to get some dvds - and he created a list of dvds people would like to see..Albeit that most of the films on the list only my brother would have heard about, eg. Bad taste, brain dead - and every other fucked up Peter Jackson film. See my brother likes alot of films, but he has this terrible habit of trying to enforce his film tastes upon other people. same goes with his musical tastes - which can be quite abstract at times and he can be quite annoying when he's he sees a dvd he personally likes and wants to buy for the deakin kids, and i have to remind him that not everyone wants to see the films he likes. He was reeeally apprehensive about buying the zoolander dvd though - just cos he thinks he's like not into mainstream films, doesn't mean he has to force other people to sit through fucking Barry humphries films. honestly, if i wasnt there - he woulda bought just crap with deakin's money.
songs in my head:
britney spears - you drive me crazy
its so obvious, why couldn't you see? That you can't go high flying without a pair of high flying wings!
Im doing my assignment now. Its coming along slowly, im just working out how to structure my own webpage. I feel like covering it with lots of different pictures, cos its pretty boring to look at right now. It gray. like my mood. Well i did consider making it back - but you know there was a time when i considered gray to be very modern - lol...well its the same colour as concrete and apparently alot of post-modern architects are big with the concrete.

fuck it.
Okay the long and short of it was:
Utada's Easy Breezy music video (or Promotional Video as the kids at utada-online.com call it)
-i said "ITS GREAT - WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOt!"
Then i blabbed on about crap. as usual.
but all you crazy kids need to know it my playlist for today:
Houston feat Chingy &someother ppl - I like it
uTADA - Easy breezy (is reeeally cheesy)
Nelly - Flap your wings
Freestylers - push up
Christina Ag & Missy E - Carwash
daftpunk - aerodynamic
www.arjandpoopy.com
- short flash animation, check it out.
www.webmonkey.wired.com
- for those who are html impaired.
I've fixed my windows media so all my music videos play on the lil screen on the tool bar...woot. So now i can do work and watch music videos at the same time!!!! of course it is very distracting at the same time...ooh dirrty. You would think i would have a lot of trouble downloading videos on a 56k dial-up net - but surprisingly its pretty quick. Meanwhile Kazaa is acting up on me, has anyone else had any probs with it lately? Everytime i turn it on it makes my computer run slower than usual - i know kazaa makes everything slow rite - but even kazaa is running too slowerr than normal...I think i have to free up some space on the comp though...all those futurama episodes are taking up too much space!!!!!!! Meanwhile since im in a burning mood - if anyone wants some love hina episodes (the ova series perhaps?) or a few chobits eps, tell me.
My media assignment is coming along slowly. The essay doesn't seem to have progressed far at all. At the moment I'm just working out where to start - do i begin with some media bullshit jargon?(because i've discovered everything that claims to be academic is just jargon and bullshit and big words squeezed into sentences that don't make much sense and would only make sense if the only book you'd ever read more than 20 times was the Dictionary).

But I didn't find any pictures I particulary like of myself, except for one of me and lisa taken on Valentines' day. But for fear of death by lisa's hands - i won't post it. I know she doesn't like it when i mis-use (in her opinion) photos of her - i honestly think its a nice picture of both of us. But its not the kind of picture I want of myself online. I think i want a picture that doesn't just show me forcing a smile for the camera, or one where i'm being a fricken idiot. There are plenty of those pictures but none that really show me in a way that I want to be represented.
Okay for those of you with a few minutes to spare - go to my website and look at the old pictures I have up there and tell me what you think about them. Don't just tell me if I look hot or ugly or whatever - I've been told that enough by strange icq ppl. I want YOU to tell me why you think I've chosen those pictures of myself to put up there and what kinds of images I am portraying of myself. And also, leave me a comment. I hate having to ask all the time - You should all just leave me comments anyway! I know people read this - but unlike marko street - i don't wanna put an ugly counter on my blog (i've had bad counter experiences, don't ask). Also Considering how long this blog has been going for - its stupid putting a counter up now after so long.
so until next time.

Me and my bro took the dog for a walk and we got chips and sat by the river and ate them. We saw a water rat - very eww. Kinda looked like a possum though because of it's tail. But to think people swim in that river in summer and there are rats in there. I will never ever swim in the Yarra River now after seeing that rat - not that i've ever swam in the yarra before anyway.
I've been trying to do work all day and everytime i come online i get distracted. Yes, people distract me - but i've been loving all the conversations i've been having on msn of late. Everything seems to be going well, apart from my media assignment and the myer stuff is going well. I'll be doing the job training session soon, i'll find out next week what day i'll be doing it.
Tomorrow is the swinburn uni expo. I think my mum wants to come with me for it, which is cool - as long as she drives. She's started busing to the city of late - for meetings and eduactional things she goes to. But for me, Buses and Sunday's don't mix.
I have to read chapter 5 of web theory, i might do that tomorrow night. Same with my readings on modernity and post-modernism. Also tomorrow night I'm seeing the film Zatoichi at the nova cinemas. That should kick ass - I've been wanting to see it for awhile. I've been dying to see some more japanese samurai films lately.

N.E.R.D - babydoll
Hanson - lost without each other
The juliana theory - this is not a love song

Something Corporate - i want to save you
goo goo dolls - here is gone
steven speaks - the goodbye song

I was at uni today. We watched some of blade runner - I don't think I've ever watched that film all the way through. I think I've seen like more than half, but I've never sat all the way through it. I guess i'll have to now, blade runner will probably come up again in my media class. I've picked the site i'll be doing my analysis on, http://1000words.net.
I have to finish the coles myer online induction stuff tonight or tomorrow. And I have a film Criticism essay to start. I've decided to do it on Shaolin Soccer - which is a crazy hong kong film which mixes sport and crazy martial arts into this insane film - and somehow also manages to fit a dancing number into it. I love this film so much I'm willing to see it again and again and again at the cinema, because it was worth every cent of my 11 dollar ticket. I haven't been that entertained all the way through a movie for awhile.
films:
Jersey Girl
the killer
starsky and hutch (do it, do it)
shoalin soccer
playlist:
ashlee simpson - pieces of me
timbaland, utada and kily dean - by your side
taking back sunday - lost and found.
