Dralion – Cirque du Soleil

dralionA work Christmas present got Geoff and I to Dralion, Cirque Du Soleil.

It was amazing, people should NOT be able to bend like that or hang off someones neck mid-air or run up walls or balance 6 people on a ball when they are dressed up in pairs in massive dragon costumes!

The dragon’s were by far the most entertaining (and if I can be girly and mention how cute they were), the acrobatics, trampolining and the juggling wonderful – astounding, the singing people were naff, but all up it was extremely worth every minute. Although the 2.5 hours seemed to go very quickly.

If you get the chance, go.

Doncaster Apple Store Opening

becatapple

Geoff and I made the early trek to the opening of the Apple store in Doncaster. Geoff also made it to the Chadstone one, which probably classifies us both as nerds – be we knew that anyway. Was quite a pleasant wait with free wifi (from Apple) which I made use of on my new phone and a fair-trade latte which was surprisingly good despite it coming from Jamaica Blue. So we were in about the first 60 or so people to get in and got our free tshirts – they are rather huge. I had to laugh at the 4 very nerdy looking guys who had camped out overnight to be the first customers… they were very wizard of oz when they walked in (Think linked arms, hi-ho hi-ho lets do this together etc…). Sadly my friend Jess (who has a job there) was sick this morning so we didn’t get to see her run around like crazy screaming – that was disappointing indeed, did however see Ryan whom we know from YVV. So yes, *taps nose* I have friends in high places.

Infographics

I don’t know much about info graphics – apparently I’ve got a subject on it next semester (and it’s one that lots of people hate).

But this makes it look cool.

I think I might actually enjoy it. Everything is always about idea.

Measured words online

My friend Cat has just started blogging. I am still getting to know Cat: I can however already testify to the fact that she’s a marvelous cook, writer and has pretty much the cutest kids in the world (really – that is not an exaggeration) and she has rather good taste in art, accessories and other little things that some people don’t pay attention to.

I might make small note here of the fact that Geoff and I meet with Cat, her husband and a few others: Les (and Wepke) & Bob & Tim, some Wednesdays to eat good food, drink nice wine and talk about life inclusive of things of God (because it is all intertwined – as an extra or add-on it loses significance and that friends is a no-no and frankly just not how it works).

RG Hamer Arboretum

RG Hamer Arboretum is one of my favourite places and I know I’ve barely seen a 1/4 of it. Yesterday I took my sisters up for a bit of a fun (bit of homework) photo-shoot thing.
