Music Mondays: Muse Madness
*Image from Victor Ayala Limon photostream - click image for more*
Today I freaked out and thought that I was going to miss out on tickets to see Muse return to our shores in December - luckily the second show was announced and we got general admission tickets for their stadium spectacular.
This video is in celebration of this fact and also to help get myself excited (not that I need much help) for Glastonbury in 2 1/2 weeks where I'll most probably be up to my knees in mud dancing, singing and screaming to this song.
It's all far too exciting. I'll be in the beautiful city of London in 10 days.

NEW HAIR - take 2
Today I spent a nice chunk of the day getting my crazy hair to change colour again. This time with the help of my lovely hair dresser we've created something we'll probably never be able to do ever again.
It's still not quite where I want it to be - I think next time I'll just use old lady "silver toner with purple shade" colour to try and get the light purple (anyone else have any suggestions - I've tried Special Effects toner with pimpin purple and/or virgin rose but each time it's come out much brighter and not light purple). I love it anyway. This is the first time I've had the majority of my hair an unnatural (apart from bright red) colour.
It wasn't easy getting my hair bleached down enough from the mega red I had previously but I think it was worth it.
I didn't use a flash for these photos and I didn't edit them in any way (except make them smaller). The colour is a little more of a purple than what shows up in this light but I think you get the picture.
I'm happy with this hair adventure!

Why I love: Becoming a GLEE addict
Welcome to another edition of Why I Love - Today is all about GLEE
It's official.
I have posted about this show months ago when I was competing on the My World Tour competition and to say my feelings for this show have intensified is an understatement. It's quite simple - I'M OBSESSED.
The past week I have watched every episode of GLEE again and even downloaded the newest episodes so I can watch them over and over again whenever I want. I promised myself I wouldn't get ahead of what is showing on our TV (which is about 2 weeks behind the USA) but I broke that promise this past weekend and used up all my download limit.
Tonight I realised I'm in a bad shape when I went searching for all the songs that aren't on any of the soundtracks - I found them and am now listening to them. This takes my collection up to the 88 song mark - 5 hours of Glee music that I can quite easily force upon my work mates (I have been this week but come on - they are classic songs and amazing versions).
The episode that is airing on Australian TV's tomorrow night is quite possibly my favourite episode so far. For anyone playing at home it's the episode that features Neil Patrick Harris - and surprisingly it's not even his storyline that had me hooked. It's Arties.
I think out of any of the characters on this show, the character of Artie is my favourite - he's sweet, smart, resilient and a dreamer. His story is heartbreaking and this episode broke my heart a couple of times over. His "Safety Dance" is by far the best choreography the show has seen and boy can that boy move.
** If you haven't watched this episode yet – WAIT and don’t watch this youtube video **
This show is all about being yourself and dreaming BIG. This is the message that I love – it’s always about the “outcast”, the underdog. It’s about showing that you can do whatever you want as long as you are true to yourself and don’t be someone else because it’s easier.
It’s a brilliant show with an amazingly talented cast - each week I’m intrigued to see what songs they’ll sing and what is going to happen to these characters.
The show was recently signed for a third season – which is crazy, we’re still on season one. I’m stoked that I know I have a whole bunch of episodes still to come.
Am I the only Gleek around or does everyone else love this show as much as me??

Birthday madness
On Sunday it was my niece Bridies' 4th birthday. We all headed over to my brothers house to help celebrate with a bbq lunch and lots of Tinkerbell cake.
We got a call in the morning saying that poor little Evie had been sick and did we still want to come over? I figured that Bridie would never have forgiven us if we weren't there so it was worth the risk of illness to attend.
I got there around 1pm - which was apparently late as everyone was already eating lunch. Bridie had already finished her first serving of lunch and came running over to say hello and let me wish her a Happy Birthday. It's funny how people say kids grow up so fast - I always used to think this was just old people being funny but it really is true. I can remember my first cuddle with Bridie when she was only 1 day old.
But I'm digressing
Bridie opened her gifts from the Aunties (and already had the book we bought her so we have to get her a different one) and loved her new copy of Toy Story on DVD (she actually went "aaaahhhhh TOY STORY") and immediately tried on her Tinkerbell PJ's.
We let the kids play for a while - I watched Kyla and Bridie jump around on the trampoline outside while Bridies other cousins (from my sister in laws side) bounced around them too. They also dressed up in Bridies fancy dress and danced around to the Chipmunks singing Katy Perry's "Hot and Cold".
After the kids had worn themselves out we had Tinkerbell cake and mini pavlovas.
The other cousins left not long after cake was eaten and then Bridie decided she wanted to run around outside and that I was a "monster". I chased her and Kyla around the backyard until me feet started to get too cold. We then went inside and started to do lots of different puzzles in her play room.
I took Kyla home around 5pm where she crashed on our couch before her Mum got the chance to come pick her up.
It's absolutely amazing to me how much of a real little person Bridie is now. I know that sounds weird but it's true - she has her own personality and knows what she likes and doesn't like.
It was a fun day spent with the most adorable nieces ever!
