im still alive...

So I am so sorry for not writing sooner but let me know if your still reading and want more... not sure if anyone actually still looks at this but I promise to get back in to the groove... I feel I have less to write about these days, I guess its a sign of actually living in this city.. it is no longer still a holiday and new, it is still always exciting, but it is slowly becoming the norm!

So what's been happening... I've seen two concerts in the last week, Tom Jones and Missy Higgins... both great concerts, both unbelievable in their own rights. Tommy may not be a sex bomb anymore... but he thinks he is and i guess that's all that matters! Nudging 70 he sweated under the strong lights and at one stage even flashed his belly... enough enough.. i agree! He still has an unbelievable voice and I enjoyed the spectacle along with the rest of the audience who were probably also nudging 70! Even though everyone in the room including Tom was slightly geriatric, it didnt stop them throwing their underwear all over the stage... I've seen flowers thrown before but never g-strings... I guess it is a remnant from their youth!

Missy was also fantastic, I don't know why I enjoy her performances so much, I guess its the way she communicates with the audience, you just want to be her bestfriend! Anyway it was made even better by our front row positioning... I've never been in the front row of a concert, but its a great interrupted view, and a fence to lean on! So did anyone watch GP in their youth? it was that great medical show, set in a doctors surgery, a GP practice to be precise... anyway there was a girl in the show called vesna?! I think she was the receptionist? anyone remember?! anyway she is now a singer living in LA, Lenka is her real name and she was Missy's supporting act... as soon as she came on I new she looked familiar... and thanks to wikipedia I worked it all out... it was a great night of Aussie singing...

Got Nat and Jason coming to visit next week, cant wait to entertain them in this fab city... and its just 7 weeks till I'm home in another great city, cant wait for that either... :) Just structuring my year of holidays, I'm thinking LA over Independance Day, London over Thanksgiving, home for kathy's wedding in Dec (yayayayayayay) and then to Thailand over christmas and new year! sounds fantastic, let me know if you want to join me anywhere :)

Sending lots of hugs and kisses,
marissa xx.
