Hiatus Hopefully Over

Posted: June 22nd, 2010 by Captain Nat

I have disappeared for a while but am attempting to make a comeback into the blogosphere. My hiatus has been due to a lack of motivation and dried up well of ideas. Whilst the well may not be full yet I have decided that blogging is one thing that helps me sort my head and shit out and as that has been my “job” of late I figure that I should be jumping back on this show pony and giving it a go.

Today I headed out with Kristy and Jaci for some art exhibition viewing. Out of the two we had planned we were successfull with one as the other gallery was shut. What is with galleries and there odd oppening hours. C’mon Tuesday is an excellent viewing time but the gallery had wed – sun in mind for prime time viewing. The “7 Evils In One Group Show” exhib was well worth the get to though. Held at No Vacancy, the show is on until Thursday. If you get the chance I suggest you get on down there.

I’m getting excited for the Tim Burton exhib that starts on Thursday. Hopefully make it to that soon. Also off to see Jersey Boys on Saturday night, def a week of taking in the arts. Speaking of musicals though I woke up yesty after having a musical dream. i only wish I had of been able to remember the lyrics and had some music writing abilities to write the score. It was pretty fun. I was highly impressed with my sub concious being able to come up with some flashy show tunes in my sleep. I wish it was that active and able while I was concious.

Weekend Recap

Posted: May 9th, 2010 by Captain Nat

Friday night headed out to the Justice & Kaos album launch. First gig I have been to since getting out of hospital and it didn’t dissapoint. Got my dance and drink on which both equal fun. Ended up heading to the strippers afterwards and staying there till about 5am. Finally making it back to Llewella’s house to crash out on the couch for a good 4 hours before having to make an early exit to avoid parking fines. I hate those things, really who does that job.

Had some birthday celebrations for Cint at Polly on Saturday night. Skipping out of there at midninght to avoid turning into a pumpkin. After much discussion it was agreed that midnight is an acceptable time to leave an event cos really how can a fairytale be wrong? A little bit of vogue action never goes astray either.
Nizmo & Cint

Today I have been a lazy arse. Slept in all day and the most activity I have had is some ‘Guitar Hero’ action. Don’tcha wish ya guitar was hot like mine?

Also gave Mother dearest a call for Mum day, as her and Dad are discovery Paris right now. I really hope they get to Jim Morrisons grave. Def one spot I would want to stop by.

Supanova Pop Culture Expo

Posted: April 19th, 2010 by Captain Nat

So yesterday I headed off to the Supanova Pop Culture Expo with my mate Llewella. Hadn’t seen her in so long. You know you’re great friends with someone when you do catch up and everything is as if no time has passed between you.

So I found an entire shelf of The Nightmare Before Christmas stuff that I wanted. I made a massive mental list of things to get when I have lots of money to spend on novelty crap. :)

Some super cute bookmarks. There were so many badges and everything it was truely awesome. There was even a Chuck Norris badge. I’m kinda dissapointed that I didn’t go back to the stand and buy it.

Of course you can’t have a pop culture expo and not include Star Wars. Managed to get a happy snap of Darth Maul, even got him to smile for it. I would of thought it a hard feat to get this little sith to crack a grin, but no.

I was so impressed with these dolls. Such beautiful craftsmanship.

For those out there that like to play serial killer you can now own your very own Dexter doll.

Forget the days of making your own Dr. Who phone booth from old cardboard boxes.

The only purchase I actually made was on an Archie comic book. I went through a bit of a stage as a kid of collecting these, so I couldn’t pass up the opportunity to reminisce. Now to track down the box in the shed with the rest of my collection.

Now I just have to save lots of money to spend at it next year. There was also so much Buffy stuff. I really need to get my hands on the Season 8 comics.
