The Social Network - movie and beyond

Last night I watched 'The Social Network' aka "the facebook movie with justin timberlake omg it's meant to be so good".

It was amazing. I'm not going into details, but in my opinion it was SO well put together, the story was fascinating...and the actors (yes, even JT) were incredible. INCREDIBLE.

Go see it, ASAP.

In other news, my Foursquare addiction is progressing nicely and I unlocked the '16 Candles Badge' today! Wooohhooo.

Yesterday I got a Distinction + in my university assignment - 'The Downfall of Lindsay Lohan' which was a critique of a new story for my Principles of PR class. Our group came top in the class..I've said it once and I'll say it again - VIVA LA LOHAN!

Speaking of social networking, today, a twitpic I took of a fire on Sydney's Oxford Street made it into the Sydney Morning Herald and various other Australian online publications (with my name credited, of course). This is why I am in love with social media. My ex boyfriend hated me for it. I guess when you wake up in the middle of the night to check your twitter, you know you have a problem.
Whatevs.

Addicted


to Foursquare.

For those of you that don't know what Foursquare is - it's another social networking tool (alas, unbeknown to many). You check in at different locations, updating your friends to your whereabouts. You can gain rewards at certain venues (like free chips @ Grill'd!), and the idea is to collect 'badges'. Such badges are highly addictive. I want the pretty, rare ones! ...Social media freak = I.


Don't judge.

'The Sweat Shop'

Today I heard Sweaty Betty's (Australia's largest beauty and fashion PR agency) reality TV show, The Sweat Shop, will no longer be airing on Channel 7.

This news came eeyrily soon after a friend and I were pondering exactly when the show would be aired. I love the Spin Crowd, and a show based in Sydney - at places we know and go to, and the PR industry itself would be so good.

Shoutout to someone @ Foxtel: pick up the show!

"Just a quick drink" - famous last words.

So, at 1pm yesterday I get a text - "come for a quick drink with me and Tiff at The London".

With an hour or two to spare before a party later that afternoon, I soon found myself enroute to The London in the blissful Sydney sun.

Fast forward 2 hours, 5 bottles of wine, 2 cocktails and a thunderstorm - we are running wild through the streets of quiet and quaint Paddington - complete with a cat slung over my shoulder (naturally). One birthday party, random descent on a friends apartment in Wooloomoolloo, a conversation with a stranger about circumcision and XYZ amount of cocktails/wine later - we are home in bed eating pods and watching The Spin Crowd.

Half a day in bed, a vanilla milkshake, bacon sandwich, sushi, ANTM, SATC, coffee and copious amounts of water later - I am home - and survived to tell the tale....

Sometimes the random nights that were never planned are the best.

Tomorrow after class I'm going to the pre-screening of 'The Social Network' - a film based around the founding of www.facebook.com . It's had amazing reviews, so I'm really excited to watch it. The poster is gold.

Stay tuned for an update...until then - sneak peak of last nights antics...

XOXO

Get Outta My Teenage Dream (Official Katy Perry/Kylie Minogue Mash-up)



This is such a good summer song. And, today in Sydney it's 30 degrees! I'm just off to Rushcutters Bay to sunbake pre cocktail party! Summer - FINALLY!


LIVE


Before I sleep...I'm loving this.

It's nothing new to the internet - but I still love it. Watch Lindsay Lohan's court tribuneral LIVE. haha, too good. Viva La Lohan.


According to sources, LiLo is likely to head back to jail today despite several weeks of 'sobering-up' @ The Betty Ford Clinic. I'm wishing Lindsay all the best, despite how entertaining this tabloid-trainwreck may be. She's due at court in a matter of minutes.


Peace out bitches XOXO

Mission Accomplished.

It's 2am... my swedish housemate Lily and I rented the movie 'The Back-up Plan' with J-Lo and some gorrggeeeous man-candy whose name I can't remember, and drank red wine and ate chocolate! Rather menopause-esque, I loved it. Perfect Friday night in!

Cute movie..check it out.


Hello weekend! xoxo
