If I were in Australia this would be an unusually busy week for me, with the 26th January Holiday for Australia Day. The Arts has The Sydney Festival pumping through the city, plus there are music gigs galore as apart of the Big Day Out, as well as Triple J's Hottest 100 Songs for 2006 being announced. The Opera House is full of people, and there are tourists by the jet/boat load. It is usual week that the excesses step up a notch higher than the Christmas time! Usually its a safe bet to say that January is also a massive liver-killer. Australia Day is spent on or around Sydney Harbour, and its even better when you get to share a January in the Arts with my BF, and Miss Chantilly, who graciously popped over from DC via NZ!
So in honour of one of the most frantically busy, yet chilled weeks I love about Australia, its an Aussie post a day week.
I received a care package on Saturday from Sarah featuring some of my addictions, Cherry Ripe, Boost, Caramello Koala's as well as nostalgic fare; flag, stubbie holder. It was so so appreciated. The Berocca even more so!!!!!
This Time Last Year: Off to see The Shins at The Metro Theatre, Sydney with Will, Jen, and 'The English Mafia'.
Today's Song for Australia week; (will be available on a compilation CD burn for those who want one at the end of the week...just let me know your addresses again!)
All The Same - The Sick Puppies
..however on a NON Australia Day note...one more video clip! The new single by Robbie Williams - She's Madonna! Wonder how Madge feels??
