Theatre antics in full swing, with bump in going from 8am saturday morning till 4 am sunday morning. I was back at uni at 9am, squeezed a quick shower in between shows and was home by 10pm sunday night. So it was probably best I didn't get to Wolfgang, or assorted friday night activities.
I will be at Young & Restless at the Zoo on Wednesday night tho. Am excited.
The Basics on their comeback tour at Rosie's on the 20th. Am excited.
May take some photos and things and post them up sometime. Don't know why. The idea just entered my head.
Theres not much point to this post. Sorry.

Being pedantic
I'm a bit of a usability nerd. I'm all about intuitive interfaces, logical organisation of data, self explanatory navigation. So here is my gripe.
I've been trawling through the archives of a few blogs and things lately (remembering that one feature of using a blog format for a major site is the ability to place your content in a timeline). And, almost without fail, down the bottom of the page, there is the pair of links 'previous page', 'next page' or some other ambiguously labeled link.
The problem I encounter, when I'm further back then the front page, is the horrible inconsistency among sites to decide which way in time they are moving. Often I will click 'previous page', expecting to be taken back in time (blogs being timelines and all) to previous posts. But instead it takes me back to the page I was previously at. The newer one. So the next site I visit, I click 'next page', and I am again taken forward. Some people who give over a certain amount of eloquence to resort to 'older posts/entries' and 'newer posts/entries' achieve a better user experience. People just need to make up their mind.
In other news, I bought a 50mm f1.8 lens for my camera. I've been wanting it for ages, and I don't think its going to be coming off the camera for awhile. Great sharpness, depth of field etc. Brilliant 'normal' lens.
And now brace yourself for a shameless plug:

Fresh Blood is a production showcasing 2 student written/directed/produced shows, and will prove to be an interesting combination, one being a surrealist piece, the other an 'Aussie comedy'. I'm stage managing the comedy and would like us to show to a full theatre. A full theatre of young people would be even better. So get along if you have time :)
