THE 2007 AUSTRALIAN OPEN.

Going to the Australian Open is…

-The only day of the year in which I even attempt to wear sunglasses. I really don’t care how hot or glary it is, I don’t like them. They don’t suit me. They look better sitting on my head.
-A day where you’re just surrounded by tennis experts who think that they know better than Hawkeye (Oh, and makes comments like “Yeah, it’s five nil”. Yeah. It sure is).
-One of the only days where you can feel absolutely exhausted and fatigued from just sitting for 7 hours. It’s bloody hard work (I wanted to say ‘yakka’ but I’m dorky enough as it is).
-When the ‘regular’ people like us scoff at the rich corporates who don’t show up to sit in their nice, cushioned seats in the shade (whilst we’re stuck either reapplying sunscreen every 3 points or getting so sun burnt that it becomes a task to get out of your seat).
-One of the only times that you’ll see the line to the ladies room about the same length as a line to free food in Ethiopia.
-A day when it is abnormal to smell like anything but the combination of sunscreen and sweat.
-A time when you realise how much Australians love to see a favourite fall and an underdog win (unless the favourite is an Australian, of course).
-So powerful that when I get home and watch the tennis on television, I automatically clap after a good winner.

So yes, it was still fun. Katy and I went on the first Tuesday (16th) and had pretty effing good seats if I don’t say so myself (RLA, section 9, row H). The heat was a tad distracting at first, but thankfully, they shut the roof after the first match. We saw Sharapova, Nadal and Clijsters.

Now, onto my mediocre pictures…

WHAT WAS THAT, JA RULE?

When I was in year 8 (2001), I was 13 and I thought that the song "Livin' It Up' by Ja Rule was super cool. Like, really cool. It was catchy and all that.

I recently just read the lyrics to this song. All I can say is...What the hell is he talking about?.

See for yourself. And you thought I cussed alot...


LIVIN' IT UP - JA RULE FEAT. CASE

[Ja Rule]
Baby, this ain't your typical, everyday, one night thing
It's a physical, I'ma fuck you tonight thing
fuck, knowin your name, jump yo' ass in the Range
And roll over, gettin blown while blowin the doja
Bring head to a closure - that's a good bitch
Before it's all over, I'ma meat this bitch
Probably treat this bitch
, mo' betta
Cause if you ain't - know, thugs and ladies go together
Poppin my collar potnah - who in the spot?
Baby, Rule in the spot; and the mug and the watch ugly
Half the hoes hate me, half them love me
The ones that hate me only hate me cause they ain't fucked me
And they say I'm lucky; you think I got time
to fuck all these hoes and do all these shows?
Or flight in the llama chargin white Rolls
Uhh-oh, another episode

[Chorus: Case, Ja Rule]
(case)Do I do
(ja rule)to all my ladies that be livin' it up we say
(case)What I do
(ja rule)to all my ladies that be givin' it up uh
(case)what u do
(ja rule)to all my ladies that be livin' it up we say
(case)what do i do
(ja rule)and to all my ladies that be givin' it up ah
(case)my loooove for u.......
[Rule] C'mon

[Ja Rule]
bitches, just wanna hold a name that's active
That's why they suck dick with mo' passion than average
And I ain't mad at'cha; never leave you alone
Cause we fucks when I'm home, phone sex when I'm gone
We both grown, both got minds of our own
Plus I freaks off like O-Dog in "Love Jones"
Been in, many zones, baby one hoes, two hoes
From, prissy bitches to hoes that do porno
But you know, the Rule be livin it up
And got all these hoes, givin it up
I like a, little ooh baby, how cute are you?
With a body that rides on sexual
I got a stick, I'll ride right next to you
Do a doughnut, and cut, then I'll open it up
On the freeway,dick in the mouth, foot on the clutch
Rule bitch, not givin a fuck

[Chorus]

[Ja Rule]
C'mon, we get hiiiigh
C'mon, we get riiiite
C'mon, we get liiiive
Live yo' life

[Ja Rule]
Love you so sexy, I just want you next to me
Your whole vibe, like you high on ecstasy
Cause ain't nuttin but a 'E' thang bay-bay
I know that pussy wet like crazy
I wanna, feel your passion, come when you askin
Laugh when you cryin, cry when you laughin
But ain't nuttin happenin, the bitch got a little too high
licked up my thigh, then started crashin
The radio blastin Between Me and You
But, you ain't on the low what the freak should you do
Girl I thought you knew (what I do), know I know what(you do)
Cause it's ain't a good night if the head ain't right
Like, Teddy P let's "Turn Off the Lights
And, grind it out, takin no times out
'til the sun come out; bitch let me find out[Chorus] - repeat 2X

[Ja Rule]

cmon we get riiite
cmon we get liive
cmon we get riiite
C'mon, it's my time
ooh baby
[ad libs to the end]

THE BRILLIANT MIND OF MY LITTLE SISTER.

Little sister to dad:

"You shouldn't have got your hair cut - it makes you look so much older. You're creating your own receding hairline".

Yet another brilliant mind. What is going on?

PS: I'm currently eating marshmallows. I don't really like the taste of them, but I like eating them. That's just weird, no?

THE BRILLIANT MIND OF NICK LACHEY.

So, did everyone have a fantastic Christmas and New Years?

I did. I hope you did too.

I was just searching through everyone’s favourite resource, wikipedia.org when I stumbled across an article about Nick Lachey. Now, I’m not going to bother to post a picture of him, because I’m sure that you all know what he looks like.

Anyway, in 2006, he released his second solo album “What’s Left Of Me”. I have heard all the singles, but until now, never really processed the songs (and the order in which they were released in).

Check this out.



“What’s Left Of Me” – The ‘I’m so devastated that we’ve broken up you can take my life but you can’t take my dignity’ song.

“I Can’t Hate You Anymore” – The ‘I’m starting to get over this whole divorce thing’ song.

“Resolution” – The ‘I’m fully aware that I’ve milked my marriage to Jessica Simpson for all it’s worth…time to move on to Vanessa” song.

I never knew that singles had to become a story with a beginning, middle and end. Just a tad tacky, don’t you think, Nick?

And if that wasn’t enough, Mr Lachey is now engaged to that chick in the “What’s Left Of Me” video, Vanessa Minnillo (Oh and they also share the same birthday, surprised?).

How does it all work out so, perfect, for you Nick?

LATELY.

*Theo and I made our starring appearances on "Deal or No Deal". We were seated in Block 1 and were the second group to go up to the podium. Sadly, Theo and I both incorrectly guessed what was in our briefcases, but it was still a fun experience nonetheless. And O'Keefe, just remember that we will see you again on that effing stage. And the set of A*Mazing WILL be rebuilt. Yeah!

*Katy and I went to see Kylie Minogue on the 13th of December. Was a lot of fun. And hella spectacular. I love Kylie so much more now. Funny how that happens.

*I ordered John Mayer's accoustic EP today, "The Village Sessions". I know what you're thinking..."What took you so long to do that?". Well, I had to order it online, and I didn't want to bug dad again with the whole credit card thing (after buying buttloads of tickets). I finally felt like today was the day. And coz I'm being cheap, I checked "standard international shipping" so I shouldn't be expecting the CD until mid to late Feb. Great. Oh well, I'm sure to forget about it, so it will make a cool birthday surprise.

*I can never borrow from the Traralgon library again with my card. Meh. That's what little sister's are for, right?

*I recieved a wonderful surprise today...John Mayer DVDs (like of various performances and appearances) from the lovely Julia. Is probably the best thing I've ever received in the mail. Thanks again! *hugs and kisses*

*John Mayer (and the JM3) received 5 Grammy nominations for the 49th Annual Grammy awards. High fives all round. He (and Steve and Pino) deserve them all. "Continuum" is just magnificant, I really hope it wins "Album of the Year". Take em all, bitches! Can't wait till Feb 11. I'm definitely doing some predicitons closer to the date (And yes. They will be biased).

*I'm stoked at the news that Delta Goodrem will be singing at Carols By Candlelight on Christmas Eve. Delta AND Dennis Walter? Life is too good sometimes.

*Little Danielle turned 18. Oh. God.

*Australia won back the Ashes! Suck. On. That. Pommies. Weeeeeeee. Apparently, Warnie is going to retire tomorrow (or today, meh) which is sad, but on a personal note, I'm glad i'll at least see his last hometown test on Boxing Day! We're going on the 27th and I can't wait for it! God, please make Australia bat on the first day, so that when the second day rolls around (and we're in the crowd), we can see Warnie bowl and hopefully, take his 700th wicket!

WAN LOY.

Tonight (Well, technically last night), myself, Adele, Simone and Theo went to dinner at Wan Loy's. It was to catch up and exchange some Christmas gifts and cheer (I got a lovely book and some beautiful perfume - nice haul, right?).

Going to dinner with pals is always fun. Food + friends makes for a great combination. And I love that as we've grown older, we've slowly moved from going to "lunch" with your friends to going to "dinner". We're growing up, alright. And that's why I've insisted on taking more photos of us. We're not going to be this awesome forever, you know.

And here are just a couple...

THE WIGGLES.

I’m sorry, but I don’t like the new direction The Wiggles are going in.

Sure, you’ve got a new member (Sam Moran). I’m sure you want a new start and all that. But this?…

The brightly coloured skivvies and smiles doesn’t make up for the fact that promoting gun use is BAD.


And this one? My 2nd favourite Wiggle (Mad Murray) is actually directing his shot into a fellow member! Horrendous!



I will not tolerate this. The Wiggles will not incite violence into the next generation of Australian children.

Nicholas – No Wiggles for you. Someone has to protect you.
