Thank you all so much for the well-wishes in the last post....still battling the flu, but I feel much better. Nothing a beer won't cure, right? ;)
I kid, I kid.
I kid, I kid.
Of late, I cannot stop playing Bertie Blackman's music. Over and over and over again. How best to describe her music....hmm, folk-inspired pop with some serious grit to it. Or as best described by a comment left on her music video Heart on YouTube, "Bertie Blackman has a cocaining voice". Hell yes. Perfectly put. I cannot get enough of her. Check her out. Love her stuff so, and I need to buy her album. Meanwhile I'll indulge in watching her music videos a myriad of times on Youtube....they're always slightly left of field and fiesty. Her artistic perspective is so refreshing that you cannot just call this music. Emotive. Love. Must buy new abum.
p.s. sooo proud to claim this brilliant musician is Australian.
Check out Heart by Bertie Blackman:
If you like Heart, check out The Storm and Thump also by Bertie Blackman.
Lets talk up another Aussie here while we're at it. Samuel Johnson, that's who. A fantastic film and tv actor, he's won a whole range of Australian film awards. What's more, whilst there may be claims that he is not classically "handsome" or "gorgeous" I'm of the opinion that he is the REAL DEAL. Why? His sense of humour, his intelligence, his serious film chops, that boyish charm, the cute hair and most importantly.....that killer smile.
Yeah, sue me, I think he's bloody good looking.
bless....
Gahh, check out http://ten.com.au/talkin-bout-your-generation.htm for the latest episode featuring Samuel (if you've got the spare time) just to witness that killer smile. Yeah, yeah, on rare occasion I act like a complete girl. And tell me you don't do the same (just a little bit, even) after watching that talkin' bout your generation episode he's in.
p.s. even Stuart loves this guy.

Anika - I tagged you on my blog, I know you have the flu darling but get with it, kidding, hugs. Feel better soon.
Oh, I had a weird/bad dream about you last night!
You were starring in this really big musical called Anika! Haha.
And you were getting really famous and stuff from it, and you were the lead and it was this really crazy over the top musical. And you started to be really mean because you were getting too famous and you were getting really cocky! And I was really sad, and then you started having an affair with your love interest in the musical and I was so mad at you!
And then your character in the musical was supposed to die and you were dressed in this crazy makeup and costume that made you look dead and you came over to my house like that, and you looked so evil and scary and I was just screaming and running away. Ahhaha it was super weird.
Then my dream suddenly completely changed as they do, and I was talking to this guy about how I was going to hit people with books, and how I had andy warhol's giant size at home and it was a really big book, and I would hit them with that and I would be unstoppable, and then I woke up. Hahah it was super weird.
Anyways, yeah I am busy Friday too, but possibly Saturday? I will check with Ash to see if we are free. But I think we are!
Get better get better get better.

Feel better soon.
