I rang my mother at 10am this morning, she said, "what are you doing up so early?". How did she know I was out late last night? Mum's, they're amazing!!


What have I been doing this week?  Let's see - 2 movies, a dinner out, strata meeting, location recces,  speed networking, screenings of 2 different shows i have done this past year, dinner at a friend's house, birthday dinner at Thai Potong in Newtown. Busy much?


Seriously - my life is not always like this!! This blog is making it look like it's all I do but remember after sleeping in on Sunday mornings I am at home writing this up on my laptop. 


So last night saw me split my time between my bestie's birthday dinner & drinks in Newtown and the cast & crew screening of HOUSOS. I sandwiched the dinner & drinks with the screening. Thai Potong banquet!!! Belly rubbing goodness all round. It was lovely to see my bestie surrounded by lots of loving friends (old and new and just as kinda split as mine was - but that is the downfall of large groups on long tables. Go the chinese restaurant round table - so much more social!) 
It's the first time in 4 years of pre-shoot drinks, wrap parties and screenings where I couldn't be there and I didn't have to work it. It felt weird to have to sneak away but I went back to catch up with the stayers, and so glad i did.


I also realised just how public an outlet this really is. 
Someone asked me "is it really that hard to meet people these days?". He had read my blog. I was a little surprised coz he isn't quite the target market but hey - if i'm going to post it here then I'm asking for it to be read, right?
I started this after about 6 months of a friend pestering me to start a blog coz I was forever spouting off random comments to her about anything, everything and nothing. So why not share the love and post it all in a blog. I have written for myself for years, never quite sure where it would take me and it seems I now have the arrogance to think what I have to say needs to be heard/read/posted online. 


My aim is to post something weekly. It started after an interesting Saturday night out but it won't always be like that. I do tend to ponder questions about human interaction and relationships but you may get the occasional rant about movies and/or restaurants. Y'know, it's the kind of ramblings you have after a bottle or 2 of red wine and you get all deep and philosophical.
