Weekend with the Frenchie

After attending my disappointingly unsuccessful appointment at the Air Force, I headed back to school, to round up the troops and head into :

This was something I'd been looking forward to for ages, after my parents went on the first night. Thanks to the ever-reliable Mme Davies, (who of course had connections with the artistic director), a school group was able to attend with reduced ticket prices; $55 in A Reserve!!

I chose to drive, and due to a shortage of seating on the bus, Pip, Laura, Edi and Josh joined Colin (the Camry) and I. Due to the traffic and the abundance of road-works, we arrived late, to a flustered Mme Davies who hurried us into the Grande Chapiteau. After making a quick toilet break, I slid my way through the opening and into the pitch black tent. It was actually really scary, I couldn't see a thing as I walked down the stairs to Jenny who would "gladly help us find a seat". From the moment it started, the show was amazing. Not only were the performers amazing, but the music and the visuals were great. Really good. Below are some pictures of a few of the Quidam acts.

Due to the absence of John's backbone, it was necessary for Pip and I to chaperone he and Laura on their date following Quidam. We accompanied them to a dinner at Spargo's and then to watch Mr and Mrs Smith. The pizza at Spargo's was gross, the moving was boring and bitterly disappointing and because I had to drop Pip and Laura back at Pip's the night obviously wasn't great. Still, I was honoured to be there to witness love in the making.

John, Me and Pip in Spargo's. The disappointing pizza can be seen on the table.


Despite having, I think, the two sexiest people in the world in this movie, it was still pretty shit.

Saturday involved the usual Soccer and running for footy. Soccer was disappointing again. Lost to St Ignatius 3-2. After having dominated the first half with a 2-1 lead, they scored 2 goals in the last five minutes to steal the match from us. Footy on the other hand was quite the opposite. There was a fair bit of build up surrounding the clash between the Camels and the CBC 'boys' as the notices so eloquently put it. Both the Firsts and the Seconds came away with a victory. Congrats to them.

Saturday night was dedicated to the celebration of Lovely Lucy's 17th Birthday. Despite being ill and her sister having an exam two days later, Lucy insisted on having people over. Having been exhausted from the day's exercise, it didn't take me much to get drunk. Despite this theory, others have told me that its no difference from my usual cadbury performance. Nevertheless I had a great night. Of course, that was until I was kicked out of Lucy's at 1:00am in the freezing cold with Toby. After walking Pip and Laura home, we were stuck for things to do, so thought it best to return to Colin and get some quality shut-eye. I woke up at 5:30am to find that Toby had disappeared. After trying desperately to get back to sleep in the freezing conditions, I decided to head home. Walked through the door to my father, who seemed quite surprised by my early (or late) arrival home.

Happy B-day to Lucy and hope the rest of you had a good weekend.
