I'm practically famous

You guys!

My blog got to over a 1000 hits the other day! This means, because there are approx 83 posts and because I've been doing this for almost a year that on average at least 12 people have read this blog every day...

Look, if you don't understand how approximate maths works,it's not my problem. Just take my word for it that I'm pretty much famous.

I'm on my way home from the city where I watched Wild River, an awesome movie from 1960. The next few weeks playing at Cinematheque are all Elia Kazan films. Next week is A Streetcar Named Desire and I'm very excited about it, hopefully I'll be able to go.

Now that I'm a professional blogger I feel like I should be paid, or at least get presents, when I say good things about a company. It's okay ACMI, you get a free shout out this time. (When you realise your embarrassing faux pas of not knowing who I am you can make it up to me with a yearly pass to Cinematheque.)

This is a photo of me being a professional blogger on the train. As you can see, I am also a very considerate person. The film tonight was made in 1960, so the skirt I'm wearing is from 1950. I did this in case the actors on screen were somehow transported through time and space and were able to walk into 2012.



I wouldn't want them to be freaked out by our futuristic fashion (let's be honest...it's pretty terrible). See my plan is that if they walked through the screen I'd jump at them and be all like 'Hey guys! Let's go bowling and rollerskating!' to distract them and make them think it was still the 60's while Captain Picard (who'd traveled BACK in time from far in the future) figured out how to transport them back into their time.

Montgomery Cliff and Lee Remick would be all 'that skirt is so 10 years ago. We feel sorry for you - loser girl. Of course we'll come roller skating and bowling that's what everyone does in 1960!' and Captain Picard would be all 'You are such a genius distracting them. I never expected to meet such a svelte and intelligent woman in 2012 - as you know I have come from the far future to stop this time blip, now I insist - call me Jean-Luc and come with me into the future and be my wife even though for some reason we all laugh at monogamy on my spaceship and dress like we're from the 70s.'

AND I WOULD DO IT IN A HEARTBEAT.

80's dress, Cyndi Lauper and Twin Peaks

I've been watching Twin Peaks with Fabian, my all time favourite TV series and it always makes me so happy. No matter who i'm watching it with it always reminds me of the first time I watched it with Sofija, Jasmine, Liam and Harry when I was much younger.

That was one of the happiest times of my life and I think i'll always treasure those golden days.

I went shopping with my new friend Molly (who i've actually known for 5 years yet for some reason have only struck up a friendship with her now...how strange life is!) the other day and we share a love of good vintage clothes.

We both wound up with some killer dresses and skirts. As I write this i'm wearing an 80's dress, 100% polyester with removable shoulder pads...I don't think I want to remove them!

Of course, Cyndi Lauper started playing on my itunes and the whole mood was created. She became one of my idols when I was 16 and I still think she's one of the coolest people to look up to.

I have more or less recovered completely from my surgery, i'm experiecing some systemic weakness but that will pass with good sleep and time...and i'm happy to oblige my body with as much sleep as it needs!

I started working at my student clinic last week, which was very exciting. Of course, I was assigned the first week of reception duty so I didn't get to treat any patients - which worked out for the best in the end because I got zapped of energy very quickly.

Now sticking to my vintage theme of the day, i'm off to play Heroes of Might and Magic II and see what Fabian's up to.

Love Nani xx

Update:

I visited Fab and his aquaponics garden was bursting with chillies, green tomatoes and mint!




Here I am, very happy with the harvest and my 80s dress
