Monday, April 19, 2010. I've missed you - take me back? As a token of my longing, please accept this picture of Jimmy McNulty. What a hunk hey. Right, I hope this means we're back on now.

party with magda: July 2009
http://pasticheparty.blogspot.com/2009_07_01_archive.html
Wednesday, July 15, 2009. Ode to laundromat (dot com). My highlight was offering "sage" advice to another newcomer. My lowlight was a visit to the much more expensive, slightly stinky and much less innovatively named "Laundromat" of South Perth; an incident which only increased my appreciation of my "local" laundrette (and I guess also of Tom, who stayed by me throughout the horrible ordeal). Perhaps when I move out, I just won't buy a washing machine. "A good decision"? Thursday, July 2, 2009. Who hasn'...

party with magda: pleasantly surprised
http://pasticheparty.blogspot.com/2010/05/pleasantly-surprised.html
Sunday, May 23, 2010. Gosh I love it when commercial TV does OK. This time, I'm delighted to announce that the pilot of Modern Families. Narrowly avoided the offensiveness hinted at in its trailers (thanks Channel 10, your inability to pick appropriate highlights astounds me yet again). The first episode was exactly how I like my TV: wacky but tight (incidentally, this is also how I like men, RAWR). It spanned the whole gamut of lolz, from the most outrageously amusing (The Lion King. May 23, 2010 at 8:0...

party with magda: June 2010
http://pasticheparty.blogspot.com/2010_06_01_archive.html
Tuesday, June 22, 2010. Since I last blogged, after Dungog, I've been wandering up and down the eastern seaboard, seeking adventure, clarity and creative inspiration. There's plenty to be written about the first two aims, but right now I'm just going to write about the third, and a beautiful exhibit that I saw yesterday in Melbourne, at the NGV Australia. He's evidently obsessed with women and femininity - and while there are all sorts of arguments you could make about exotisising the other I prefer to t...

Monday, May 31, 2010. HIGHLIGHT #3. Push Bike other short films. I watched a buttload of short films over the course of this weekend. Some where hilarious, others humbling, some pretty shit (film festival choices so often baffle me! And a few I will struggle to forget. The story of an African family struggling to fit into Australia. Very little dialogue, no simple charectisation, no flashbacks, no need to explain everything about their tortured background. A story told through images. Filmmaking is endle...

Wednesday, April 22, 2009. My long-time bff Tom "T-Bone" ReyRey recently became one of my work colleugues. Apart from the good corridor times we have shared since his contract began, we have also been spending a lot of time laughing at spam emails. For some reason, the UWA Student Guild (where we both work) is some sort of crazy spam epicentre, with every account receiving on average 50 spam items per day. 1 "your male friend will grow like on yeasts". 4 "give her SHOCK by your manhood - surprise! This a...

Monday, May 31, 2010. HIGHLIGHT #2. Gillian Armstrong. She’s something of a legend in Australian cinema, and also an inspiration for female filmmakers – having used cinema to make strong feminist statements ( My Brilliant Career. Tell beautiful female stories ( Little Women. And also to just have non gender specific fun ( Starstruck. On Saturday afternoon she delivered a panel discussion about filmmaking and her background and her adventures. Here is what I want to remember:. UM pretty sure there are a h...

Friday, February 27, 2009. I haven't posted in a while, and that this is not for lack of inspiration so much as the exact opposite - too much inspiration, too much happening, argh argh argh!

party with magda: dungog highlight #1
http://pasticheparty.blogspot.com/2010/05/dungog-highlight-1.html
Monday, May 31, 2010. Last week I flew all across Australia with four other lovely ladies from the WA Screen Academy to attend the DUNGOG FILM FESTIVAL - a weekend of screenings and parties in a tiny rural NSW town of 3000 people and a lot more cattle. One of my short films was selected for the Sunday "whimsical" screening session (what makes a film whimsical? How do you measure levels of whimsy? DUNGOG HIGHLIGHT #1: Lou.

Tuesday, January 27, 2009. Pretty special) and b) it is difficult to photograph an annual tradition without inane repetition year in, year out. As you can see above, I prob need to acquire some sort of better pen for scanning purposes (and also a better scanner, now that I mention it.). Thursday, January 22, 2009. This is the time, that ill come running. Jesus christ, i'm 51 years old! And then he holds your attention through the sheer intensity of his performance. Personally, I felt as if every sing...
