review -So You’ve Decided To Host An Orgy

review -So You’ve Decided To Host An Orgy

Sometimes when your on a budget, your young and well in a relationship its nice to have a bit of “couple time”. But with movies and the theater being so expensive its hard to get that couple time while sticking to a budget.

well the Melbourne comedy fest has just hit Melbourne, some Brainy in there department was smart enough to do the “Cheapskate Tuesday” ticket BRILLIANT! ( I think there’s ones for students/concessions also).

so my partner and I decided to catch a “cheapskate” night out.

the event/night as follows

We prebooked some tickets to see a show in the Melbourne comedy show.

“So You’ve Decided To Host An Orgy”, (http://www.comedyfestival.com.au/2012/season/shows/so-you-ve-decided-to-host-an-orgy-less-intellectual-comedy/) with Avi & Bleeser.

I have know Avi for a few years and personal deference’s a ex and stupid amounts of drama ( none of his fault/ or being attached too) meant I had not kept in contact. ( him not being the only one effected by my “hermiting” of this “scene”)

so firstly  as can be expected I wasn’t so keen at first to go. however, Nik ( the adorable other half) persuaded and we decided to go.

around 9 we  walked out of our apartment ( yes on Spencer so no nasty train trips or myki’s stealing your secret data) to the fad galley.

Arriving half hour too early, we ducked into Shanghai dumplings (http://www.urbanspoon.com/r/71/761716/restaurant/CBD/Shanghai-Village-Dumpling-Melbourne), Basically dumplings (10- 20) for under 15 dollars.. so its always a good cheap feed. at  9.40 we left the dumpling house bellies full of delicious dumpling and arrived there around 9.50 ish walked back to fad (http://www.fadgallery.com.au/web/).I was kept a bit entertained by the pictures/ atmosphere whilst the show was set up. now here’s where I get to be very short but It was funny, hazardously funny the funny that leaves you in hernia/ no breathing stages of laughter. The show was presented  as a very well informed with hysterics included, every thing from numbers to toys you name it…. TENTACLE.. yes ( I suggest you watch the show to find that one out.) However not a show for the young ones but definitely one for the partners, bucks, bride to bes and anyone open minded. and sexually active.

also as another point of reference tickets are still for sale ( as far as a I know) but word will spreed fast so if you don’t want to miss out book your self in. I will chuck the quick sketch up I did after the show in the next few days. I have been flat out like a cat on a hot tin roof  … maybe not the best turn of phrase well never mind

K

out

sigh life dramas

well i’m knee deep in it again. and wanting to just gett away from the world for 6 months. being a unemployed non government supported student I cant afford to, what makes it worse my mac (which was only fixed a couple of months ago if less) RANDOMLY SHUTS OFF!! and I lose everything I’ve been working on… my WD mac hard drive power cord is missing presumed stolen (wont get in to that one) and I don’t have the money to replace that or to take the mac to the store again espically since its over in doncaster!

 

i know i’m going to get the HERRRRRDEERRPPPS you bought a mac live with it. but I’ll put it to you like this, I was using mac at uni at the time, no choice for PC based laptops. I’m still using mac at this tafe course, and as it is the graphic design industy standard computer I would have 95% of having corupted files taking it to a pc from a mac. lastly it was my parents gift for getting to uni. so sentimental value.  it irriates the hell out of me when people go “eww you got a mac…” seriously pull your head out of the motherloving ground. there are some industries and teaching collages who use it as standard

you have to see this

well hand-in for the self introduction project today ugh.. i’ll make a better one another time but in looking through some research i found a post in Philinthecircles youtube account.

seeing the german shep made me teary as i cant have pets where i live.

anyway check it out

handmade envies! moving! Clean out!

I loveeee recycling! As a artist I see so much waste and how things can be reused into items or peices. I recently discovered handmade envelopes. Its amazing what and how many envelopes you can make with a magazine, a newspaper or some waste paper and cards I have made quite a selection of little envelopes so many I’ve organised them into selling stacks on etsy. (If your intrested check out my etsy http://www.etsy.com/karmacrane) If your wondering how I make them out of newspaper or a0 sheets I have a simple guide

1. Divide and Conquer! Divide your page up in to fourths! Now cut the bleed print edge this is the waste area of your page. Then cut the forths.

2. Know when to fold them! Start folding your envelopes there are plenty of tutorials out there on google and the best idea if you have a favourite envelope use it as a template!

3.Double or Nothing! With some types of newspaper and magazines you might need reinforce it so double the paper up with the construction of the envelope.

4. Tape!Tape!Tape! Double sided tape I find works best with envies it stays put and hardly moves!

Know I am on the verge of moving again finding a place with my partner so I will not be doing many swaps but I’ll keep people as updated as I can. and swaping whereever possible!

Now Ive started organising for the move using the 3 box techinquie.

1 Box. Keep.

2 Box. Throw.

3 Box. Swap/sell/donate.

so wish us luck Miss Karmacranes

AH HA!

Dwitt

with illustrators and artists becoming a dying breed with the advent of technology many have had to change styles “adapt or die”. but dwitt has made awesome posters, all hand drawn scanned then recoloured in photoshop or illustrators.

armory wars - unsure of artist

armory wars - unsure of artist thearmorywars.com

im actually unsure of this artist but its more the storyline i like, the armory wars written by the wonderful Claudio Sanchez of coheed and cambria ( two characters in the story)

i actually have to thank my old housemate Pat, for getting me hooked on them.

*blows the dust off this blog*

hey there everyone yes i am aware of the absence in blog posts. i moved house and have been settling in to this new livestlye.
its not the easists of starts on a new life in a new house but things have been working out even if its just mild teething issues with other housemates and then having the other half of my being ( at this current time) move in as well.

lets just say its a full house. I WAS working until i was made redunant over not being able to do a shift… urgh. but now i’m getting back into studying and the cost isnt so high seeming as my other half is now here.

one of the bigest issues is that there is often no internet and i can only retrieve emails inbetween uni time. so if you need to contact me use my phone..
but i can haz food time nowz?
nik and i are budgeting 50 buys us food for 4- 5 days its great! this last week we had hamburgers X2 pizza X3 lasagna X2 (X= meals)
plus extras such as garlic bread and juice milk eggs om nom nom nom.

also i did a naughty thing i bought myself a ruffle dress. normally i wouldn’t but it was at wildilocks and a doll Q ruffle dress and there was alot of squeeing and so it was bought, when nik saw it he was calling me kaylee ( firefly) around pretty fluffy dresses. It is alot of love.
anyway i have to go class is over and i’m heading home to get started on a essay about subcultures and the mainstreem.
bye kitties
oh btw nik is getting dreads.. did i tell you i love that man?
