Things I Love Thursday

I'm back from my trip to Melbourne & Sydney

My sister Alex and I went.

We went to PAX Australia in Melbourne

Then went to Sydney to do touristy things.

Read about it HERE

While in Sydney

We went and saw Pacific Rim at IMAX...

and not just any IMAX...

THE BIGGEST IMAX IN THE WORLD!

It was FUCKING Amazing!

Anyway Pacific Rim was amazing!

Guillermo Del Toro has really outdone himself!

I'm not going to review it...

just tell you...

GO SEE IT!

I will say the worst part was...

The Australian accents of the non Australians playing Australian

(I don't know why they didn't just hire Australians)

But after awhile you forget about it.

THE BEST THING!

Well 2 things actually

where these two...

they are Hermann Gottlieb & Newt Geiszler

and they are the funniest and best part of the movie!

and yes... I SHIP THEM!

They need their own spin off show

or this...

THIS NEEDS TO HAPPEN!

Watch the TRAILER

You may have also noticed that I'm changed my background to my blog.

you like?

I watched The Host last night
I went into it with very low expectations (cos of the whole Stephanie Meyers/Twilight thing)
but I was pleasantly surprised!

It was good!!

 plus I could perve on Jake Abel (right)

It also led me to a new band!
Imagine Dragons.
Their song Radioactive is used in the credits.

I've actually heard heaps of the songs in the past.
In Glee, and on movie trailers etc.
I downloaded their album
Night Visions

I also ordered some clothes from ASOS!
I really shouldn't be allowed on that site!

That's right!
I ordered a comic book print dress!
So freaking excited!
Hopefully it will fit!
$35 with free shipping
I'm not going to complain!
order yours HERE!

That's it for this Thursday.
Next Monday I start my new job in Childcare
So I will have less time to blog etc
So I need to come up with a blogging timetable or something.

We will see!

bye-ee

Geek Trip of Awesome #1 - PAX Australia Part One

PAX was amazing!

The train was crowded.

We stood in line for about an hour in dizzly rain.

Then we got in!

It was amazing!

Very well organised.

The Expo Hall was full of all sorts of awesome.

The Indie Game Showcase was amazing!

We played so many awesome games.

And collected lots of swag!

I apologise because I didn't take very many photos

Here are some of the photos I took.

GIANT JENGA! 

Empty XBox One stand!
It said "Come back soon"
I walked past 10 times and everytime it was empty!

Who parked this here???

The League of Legends stage was always packed.
They had people playing
Behind the screens vids
Animator showcases!
It was excellent (never played League of Legends)

New Zelda game is due out. It's one of the older titles redone :)

We only spent 2 of the 3 days there.
We decided not to go on Sunday
Which was good because we spent the day relaxing.

Stay tuned for PAX Australia Part Two: Swag
and the continuing Geek Trip of Awesome

What A Week!!!

What a week!

And it's only going to get even busier.

First off, I don't know if I mentioned the job interview I went to.

Well... I GOT THE JOB!

A full time Childcare job!

I start when I get back from my holiday!

Which starts Thursday! I can't believe that this weekend I'll be on the other side of the country!

It's such a long way away. 

PAX is going to be freaking awesome.

I'm going to try and just 'go with it'

and not get stressed etc.

Tomorrow I PACK!

I have done a test run, but I don't want to forget anything!

So tomorrow I pack for real.

And charge all my bits and bobs (laptop, DS, Camera etc.)

DON'T PANIC!

I'm excited and scared about my new job.

Starting any new job is scary, but I've never had a full time job before

and this one involves LOTS of RESPONSIBILITY!

I'm looking after peoples Children!

But I will think about when I get back from my trip.

Now I will think about:

GAMING

Taronga Zoo

PACIFIC RIM @ IMAX

Awesome things!

Stay tuned!
