“Hey Mistress DJ…”

Captain Nat — Fri, 02 Jul 2010 02:44:14 +0000

I had a DJ lesson on Wednesday night with my mate Craig. Was super fun, learnt how to do some simplish party djing and just changing between the CDJ’s and then moved onto some mixing. I attempted to figure out how to mix 2 techno songs together and man that shit is hard. Knowing when to drop the track and counting beats and all this other stuff you have to think about. I got a cd of some tracks to listen to. I think it would make it so much easier when you know the songs you are mixing really well. Def fun and I look forward to the next lesson.
Also got told that I was welcome to do a bit of dj set at a party in a few weeks. Give my swapping over songs ability a shot in public.

Check out my new shoes.

These are the ones I got last week.

Wardrobe Malfunction

Captain Nat — Wed, 30 Jun 2010 03:22:18 +0000

I am so over my clothes at the moment. I’m sick of everything I own and want to do a wardrobe makeover. However this costs money and I’m also so damn picky when it comes to clothing. I am totally jelous of the peeps out there who seem to have this funky arse way with style. I was def too busy looking at something shiny when those talents were handed out.

I’m not even sure where to start with this, at the same time when you are constantly having fat days it really doesn’t help with the whole looking at clothes thing. I need to get over this. So to start with I think a bit of a health kick severe gym motivation is well in order. I’ve managed to get myself to the gym the last 2 days for a bit of a workout but I haven’t had the energy to really stick it to the man. Whinge Whinge.

I have however managed to get a new pair of shoes last week and hopefully getting some more tomorrow. Sure they might be of the sneaker variety but really them and boots are the only shoes I can really get into. Never been much of a shoe gal.

Hiatus Hopefully Over

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

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.

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.

Do Fairy Children Go To School?

Captain Nat — Mon, 03 May 2010 13:13:25 +0000

I was just going through some of my old scrapbooks and folders from back in primary school and came across a copy of a poem that I recited in a poetry recital competition when I was in about grade 1 or 2 I think. Thought I would share it cos it’s totally cute!

Do Fairy Children Go To School?

Do fairy children go to school?
Do they obey the Golden Rule?
Do fairy children learn to fly?
Have they to try, and try, and try?
Must they learn to dance and sing?
Or do they just know everything?

Perhaps a fairy child could say,
“Please may I have for my birthday
One fairy wish, or two or three?”
Of course, her mother would agree.
Then on a mushroom she could sit
And wish it all – not learning it.
