Congratulations.

My first congratulations is to Carmen and Jeff, who got engaged on the weekend. How exciting! I can’t wait to go shopping and help her think of ideas and stuff!

We all went down to Sydney for it, and it was a really good weekend. Carmen didn’t suspect a thing, which made it so much more fun! Luke and I met up with them after the proposal, and carried around Carmen’s hoards of flowers!! Read more about it at her post: here.

I guess the only bad thing about Sydney was how I kept thinking I was in an Asian country. It actually made me upset that this iconic piece of Australia was really not Australian at all…

My second congratulations goes to Baz Lurhman and his newest film, “Australia”. I am now incredibly proud to be an Australian, and am happy that people all over the world will see this movie, and think of Australia like this… in some way or another.

I felt that it was a really respectful representation of all types of Australians, particularly aboriginal people, and I found that it was a really interesting perspective on them. It made me want to pack up and go live in the outback. I feel like it’s almost where I belong.

I bawled my eyes out nearly the whole time, and basically just clung to Luke (poor Luke!), but it really was a great movie.

Thanks for visiting my site again! keep checking back for more updates!
