Morning TV highlights
Kathy Lette - Fabulous woman! Just saw an interview on Kerri-Anne, what a diva! Perched on KA's bland sofa in all her hot-pink fabulousness, spikey short hair and blazing lips. I just wish I had half her hustspa i.e. asking Prince William if he wanted tongue when she was obliged to kiss him to present a trophy.
Highlight of the interview - how to deal with your sulky teenagers declaring they wished you dead - take a big drag of your cigarrette in one hand and a swig of wine from the other, blow the smoke out slowly and say "I'm doing my best darling..." ahahaha!

The Past
Ahahahaha, I've just read some of my older posts from...wait for it...2003! Yep, thats how lazy I am. I get enthusiastic, fall in love with an idea, am passionate about it...for about 2 secs and then forget all about it. Therefore we have a 5 year gap between posts. Not bad, coulda been worse.
Anyway, what a confused little individual I was way back then. I'm quite sure I wasn't suited to being a PA, all those sleepless nights and following the orders of a psycho producer. Wasn't she a bag of fun. I heard down the grapevine that she eventually had a nervous breakdown, no surprise there. "What the hell is she on about?" I hear you ask. Well that is if anyone is actually reading this. To explain, I was a Production Assistant in Jakarta (my life is random) for about 2 seconds. Unfortunately the Producer whom I was to Assist was Hitler reborn. She frequently had screaming fits on set, followed swiftly by a torrent of tears and accusations. Now I dont know if this modus operandi (check that, getting all fancy with the ol language, not sure if correct use tho) for producers, but it freaked the hell out of me and all the crew. I basically had hardly any sleep for 3 months and suffered post traumatic stress.
Ah, good times.

Unemployed Bum
After many many many years, its high time I started writing on the ol blog again. Have to add to my repertoir of daytime tv, checking email and Facebook. And I've Googled just about everyone I know. (dont deny it, you've all indulged in the guilty pleasure!) And now I'm down to watching Playschool. Argh, we need cable tv.
Its been so long since I've wrestled with anything vaguely technical, starting up this blog again was the freakiest experience. Whats HTML again? Urgh, I think I'm going to break this thing. Can't believe I used to do this stuff for a living. I can barely get this post up let alone contemplate editing it. Therefore it will just have to stay relatively boring until I can stretch my creative techie muscles again. I can just hear my multimedia class mates sniggering in the background.
Phew! Stick a fork in me, I'm done. Good effort, try another post again in an hour.

Jakarta, Indonesia.
Its midnight, need sleep. For some reason thought it was high time I got on with it and made a blog. How did I end up here? What am I doing? Lesse, brief history of me. Was web designer for 3 years in aus, freaked out, packed up and moved to europe last year. Worked in pub for 6 months in UK, went backpacking round Greece and Turkey for 2 months, decided to come home to Bali for 'visit' and ended up in Jakarta as a Production Assistant to a TV/Film Producer. Life is interesting.
So here I am, re-learning my native language, Indonesian (12 years out of the country has successfully erased all ability to use said language) living in same room as producer, finding my way around one of the craziest cities in Asia, if not world, and learning the ropes of this mad business we like to call 'Production'.
Suprisingly I dont make that many coffees. This is however compensated nicely by the monstrous lack of sleep. Ahh yes, sleep. Really what I should be doing now.
Just thought I should kick this thing off...finally..
