Mum made spring rolls or "chả giò" over the weekend. It's one of my favourite foods.
I'm very particular about my spring rolls. I think my aunty's mum's recipe is the best. It's so good that she has to take orders off our family and friends. The process is pretty time consuming. I'll be sure to get it off her and add it to this blog sometime.
I get Very narky when people confuse Chinese egg rolls with Vietnamese spring rolls.
They Are Not The Same.
Anyways, here's a photo I feel inclined to share:

I got my haircut a few weeks ago but went back to the salon recently to get my fringe trimmed.
I feel very much like emily the strange.
On the topic of fringes, the Melbourne Fringe Festival is running again this year!
22nd September to 10th October 2010. I'll be volunteering at the Festival Club.
The festival is a mixed bag of creativity; encompassing the categories of cabaret, circus, comedy, dance, kids entertainment, live art, music, performance, special events, talks and visual arts.
Browse the the program on the website (link above) and get involved in some of the stuff that's going on!
It's going to be heaps of fun! I'll see you there ;P

nightly, i walk
destination, unthought
i pass, a tree
where a bird, escapes free
i halt, ponder
and then wish that were me

I wrote and posted this blog update on the weekend via my mobile. I'm trying again on my computer:
I'm currently in Wangaratta at the Pinsent Hotel for the very first Winton Festival of Speed!
These are photos of a championship winning Porche 935 coupe 1976 - worth a few million but pretty much invaluable.
I'm here for the weekend shooting stuff for In Pit Lane.
Today I did my first official interview ever with VHHR (Victorian Historic Racing Register) member, Ian Ross.
***end of original post***
The show we put together should air on Channel 31 on Melbourne Cup Day.

So I have a thing for guys with guitars. I can't help it. I don't know what it is.
However after some extensive research between a friend (who shall remain nameless) and myself the underlying message we received was that "music is the window to the soul".
Showing passion and injecting personality into one's music reveals a part of oneself that would otherwise be hidden. It's sort of trusting and vulnerable.
There was an interesting theory of how making music is not an essential survival skill, so men who display this creative ability must have a lot of time on their hands, be relatively well-off and able to support a family - which is what a woman looking to pro-create would subconsciously take into account… Interesting stuff. Is it not?
And now, for your enjoyment (and a giggle) please watch this short clip:
I went to a 21st birthday party over the weekend. The theme was "Broadway". I wore a Vietnamese outfit called an Ao Dai (http://www.pathfind.org/pf/Journey/viet%20nam/ao_dai.htm) and went as a character from Miss Saigon.
A friend of mine decided to go as a crew member. She created this sign for another friend to stick on the back of his t-shirt. He didn't end up using it and it got left in my car. So I thought I'd post it here to ensure that her efforts aren't wasted. :)
I love creative types. I also enjoy witty banter.
A Channel 31 TV show I'm crewing on at the moment in the role of Autocue Operator is 'The Inquiry'.
It's a political satire. I'm absorbing the creativity of the show's writers through my pores - it's that infectious!

I was house-sitting this week, looking after two cats:
I also played a game of monopoly, high-tech style. It doesn't have fake money - it has fake credit cards! Amazing.
The place was right by my favourite park, I went for a couple of walks. Yesterday I got a really bad tank-top tan in the 30 degree heat. I know, I'm insane but i wanted to take advantage of the scenery.
Hmm a few other things happened this week. One was the vietnamese festival. Who likes this T-shirt I spotted? Oh and the Kamikaze ride I braved?
Let me leave you tonight, with a clip of a song I'm obsessed with atm:

I just finished reading Interview With the Vampire by Anne Rice.
This is an excerpt of my favourite passage:
"'And how is this evil achieved?' he asked. 'How does one fall from grace and become in one instant as evil as the mob tribunal of the Revolution or the most cruel of the Roman emperors? Does one merely have to miss Mass on Sunday, or bite downon the Communion Host? Or steal a loaf of bread... or sleep with a neighbor's wife?'
"'No. ...' I shook my head. 'No.'
"'But if evil is without gradation, and it does exist, this state of evil, then only one sin is needed. Isn't that what you are saying? That God exists and. ...'
"'I don't know if God exists,' I said. 'And for all I do know... He doesn't exist.'
"'Then no sin matters,' he said. 'No sin achieves evil.'
"'That's not true. Because if God doesn't exist we are the creature of highest consciousness in the universe. We alone understand the passage of time and the value of every minute of human life. And what constitutes evil, real evil, is the taking of human life. Whether a man would have died tomorrow or the day after or eventually... it doesn't matter. Because if God does not exist, this life... every second of it... is all we have.
The line 'fall from grace' has got me remembering that song... Boys Like Girls - Holiday.
