19/365 Learning Choreography

Learning the choreography for the Chicago bracket of "Forbidden Broadway". 

18/365 Photography

I had a bit of a play with some of the settings on my camera and captured the love of my life looking thoughtful.  Sepia makes every photo look great!

17/365 Musical Theatre

One of the reasons I've been slack in posting is because I'm very involved in the local musical theatre scene.  We've just finished a season of "Forbidden Broadway".  If you're not familiar with it, google its ass.  It's a satirical look at musicals...all the melodies remain the same, but the lyrics are changed with hilarious results. 

Les Miserables "On my own" has been rewritten as "On my phone" and "Somewhere over the rainbow" is now "Somewhat over indulgent".  Check it out. 

Also, apologies in advance...many of the next posts will be related to Forbidden Broadway :-)

16/365 My diary

Yup, I'm the first to admit that it's been a while between drinks/posts...but things have been chaotic.  When I took on this challenge, I had no idea how time consuming it would be, especially when combined with real life.

Anyway, I'm one of the last people on the planet who HAS to have a manual tangible diary.  I just don't trust the electronic ones.  Also, with a REAL diary, you can colour code things, and make it look all pretty and interesting.

15/365 Photography

I'm rather pleased with my photography efforts...although I have to take quite a few pictures to get one that's ok.  Again, I unfortunately don't know what kind of flower this is, but loved that it merged from mauve to pink.  I'm going to get out the watercolours and try to recreate at least part of this image.

14/365 - Poetry "Spirit of Queensland"

Spirit of Queensland

Rain took livelihoods, homes and dreams

And doing so broke many hearts

It couldn’t take spirit by any means

Queensland – sum more than its parts

Awash with water, drenched by tears

Pride then strength simmer and stir

Long road ahead, maybe months or years

Queensland – recovery altogether

The people will toil with hearts and hand

Neighbour, friend, digger by mate

Plants will awaken, replenish the land

Queensland – return to sunshine state

Soon the swagman will waltz again

The kookaburra will chortle with glee

Children’s laughter and their play will reign

Queensland – spirit, strength, victory

13/365 - Photography

I was so pleased with my photo of the flowers the other day, that I gave it another whirl.  Found this cute little dude just shooting the breeze.
