I’ll have a look at it when I get home then 🙂

My favourite actors were the ones that played Valjean, Marius and Gavroche. They were really good. The bloke playing Valjean was really young, he was actually almost turned down in the auditions for being too young, but he was a fantastic singer and I think he did the part extremely…[Read more]

@valtmy

Interesting. 🙂 It’s funny all the weird places inspiration comes from 😛

@valtmy

I have so many plot scraps running around in my head, and Les Mis just added about a hundred more. I may have asked before, but what’s 42nd Street about?

Yep.

@valtmy

I really want to start on SFI’s third draft.

But I am strong. I will finish Wattle Fire…sooner or later.

@Rochellaine

I actually looked it up last time you mentioned it, but I couldn’t find any recordings on YouTube. And I hadn’t heard of it before. Was it good?

I loved it! I only just got back from it actually. And yeah, it was brilliant. The actors were really good. The only thing was that it was occasionally odd listening to an Australian cast…[Read more]

@valtmy

I’m afraid if I end up too much more inspired for SFI I might abandon Wattle Fire to the dust and I really don’t want to do that.

I’m not sure why it started. I know my grandfather, who was a dairy farmer hated it, because it meant getting up in the dark to milk the cows, whereas before daylight savings it would be almost light or light…[Read more]

@valtmy

I’ve never seen it live before, so hopefully it’s a good production!

You don’t have daylight savings?

@valtmy

I probably won’t be on the internet much today and I’ve got dancing…and I probably won’t be on tomorrow either because…

…I am going to see Les Miserables!

We’ve just gone into daylight savings, which meant we moved our clocks forward, thus making it three hours instead of two. It’ll be back to two in March.

@valtmy I don’t know if you are still here, but yes, I’m here now.

@Catwing

Pretending to be someone who likes romance is super relatable. 😛

@catwing

Ah, I see 😛 Sounds like some greatly fun scenes to write!

@Catwing Good job 😀

Is Alex still burning things?

@catwing

I got 546. How did you go?

@catwing yep!

@catwing

No we don’t have thanksgiving. 😛

Definitely! Fifteen minutes? Let me go get some essentials and then I’ll be ready.

@valtmy

All righty! I’ll see you then. The only things I have to do today is clean up a lot and write a lot, so I should be here then.

@jenwriter17

Aw, oh well 🙂

@Catwing

Still here? I’m behind so I need a bit of encouragement (aka, chocolate and word wars).

@rochellaine @valtmy @jenwriter17

Anyone else?

@rochellaine

We were a nation for quite a while before we had a flag other than the Union Jack, so maybe that’s got something to do with it?

Yeah, I definitely wouldn’t. And I’d argue that as a restorer of historical documents, her job description does not include staying with people who kidnapped you in order to protect it.

Don’t worry, I know…[Read more]

@rochellaine

Maybe we just don’t play it in our family. we tend to play a game where we all choose a brand of car and tally up the numbers that drive past, and whoever gets the most wins 😀

Well, Australians are definitely much less up there on the flags. Only government buildings and the odd private house has a flag (though, there’s a house in…[Read more]

@rochellaine

Bottle shops is the technical word, they are actually referred to as the “bottle-o” though.

I may need some clarification on the alphabet game.

😀 My brother and I were just discussing the difference between Aussie patriotism and US patriotism.
