About Me

I live in the coolest city on this Earth - Sydney. And I wake up every day listening to waves and looking at the ocean. I'm looking forward to the cooler months when the whales will be able to be seen from my window.
Don't read too much into this myspace background. I don't have a broken heart, nor have I been left hanging to drift aimlessly. I simply like its simplicity and its colours.
I'm a TV producer and do the occassional radio newsreading shift. I have recently resigned and will be back on the radio fulltime in a week or so.
My weaknesses are chocolate, the view from my new bedroom (u fn beauty!!!), shoes, and kahlua and milks.
Things that piss me off are smokers who throw their ciggie butts on the ground (you littering bastards), helium balloon releases (you littering bastards)and musos who think I'm at their gig because I want to bed them. Just cos I'm watching you, chatting with you and having a good time doesn't mean I want be 'of service'.
Emo Myspace Layouts
Here's my first attempt at some sort of a strange movie/montage thingy ...

My Interests

Writing - poetry, songs, short stories. Live music. The outdoors. The treadmill. Walking. My jack russell Bandit (whom I've palmed off on my dad at the moment). Bushwalking. Running.
Getting pissed with Larns.

I'm into kahlua and milks. Your shout??

I'd like to meet:

Nicole Ritchie (I reckon she'd be hilarious!)
Natalie Maines. George Bush (i wanna know if there's anything going on in his head).It's weird. I had the opportunity to meet by fave artist recently. I said no. I want to keep Patty Griffin on that pedestal.

Music:

Paulo

Patty Griffin
Brandi Carlisle

Did I mention Patty Griffin??

I like music of many genres. Mostly country, roots, folk, blues with some jazz funk thrown in for good measure. LIVE music. Too many fave artists to list.

Movies:

Kenny!!!!
Cruel Intentions

Team America - World Police (still think that's the funniest move ever made!)

** The Wizard of Oz (1939 version of course! Watch Dorothy's hair length keep changing)

Television:

BRING BACK PASSIONS!
Californication. Man that show is cool. Who would have thought I'd find a guy like Hank quite endearing.
Also watch 'Summer Heights High'. Now that show is piss funny! So fn real it's scary.
Rarely watch tv... er .. but I LOVE Sunrise. (Gotta say that cos I work on the show as a producer).
It's kinda cool. I get to pick the brains of all the people you see on the show. My contacts book is pretty damn impressive at the moment.

Books:

Me? Read? um .... You're kidding right?

Tho I'll look at my horoscope from time to time ...

I like reading people's random blogs.

A taxing crucifixion

I’ve sat down at my computer tonight to do my tax. Last year’s tax. That’s what Easter is for right? Reassessing the past. Going over history. Assessing your worth and your con...

Me watching him watching Ronnie and Kix

1:06am An enjoyable gig isn’t all about the band. It’s not all about the perfomance. It’s not all about the set list. It’s not all about the staging and the lighting. It’...

Lisa goes to Mardi Gras

1:13am I'm absolutely drained. Exhausted. My eyes are stinging from the excessive eye makeup. My hair is a mass of knots from both the wind and the flourescent blue mouse ears i was wearing. My feet s...

Kenny Smyth Quotes

"Junk food is a lot like an express delivery - it's in a rush to get somewhere. It stays in the right-hand lane right through your system. Alcohol is also a bit of an accelerant, and curries and spi...
