50 Shades of Awkward, Bon Jovi, Holloway House, and Sherlock


Christmas is almost here! Yay! I'm more excited about the awesome food more than anything else. I guess that means my weight-loss plan didn't work. Hehe weight loss! I've been quite busy at the moment. '50 Shades Of Awkward' is in the editing stages, which is really exciting. I've pretty much finished editing my own stories, but I'll be editing others this afternoon :)
 Last night Daniel and I went to see Bon Jovi at the Suncorp Stadium! It was amazing! The best concert I have ever been to! The show went for three hours, with two encores, and the crowd were on their feat singing along to all the songs. One of the coolest things was the stage, which had been transformed into a gigantic front end of a 1959 Buik, with the grill as the video screen and its headlights beaming out into the crowd. A really clever way to decorate a stage!

 Your love is like bad medicine. Bad medicine is what I need!





The whole band was amazing, but from start to finish it really felt like Jon Bon Jovi's show. He was energetic and charismatic and sung with the lungs of someone twenty years younger (and what is with his face? He's like a Time Lord! He's definately said 'fuck you' to ageing! By the end of the show (or what you thought was the end), he belted out 'Bad Medicine', which was so awesome! I loved 'Keep The Faith' and 'Bad Medicine' the most, and I found myself wishing they would play more  of their older songs. But it was still       good nonetheless! Bad Medicine made me think 
 of  'Jay And Silent Bob Strikes Back', where Justice walks into Mooby's. The show seemed to go on         forever, which was great because it meant we really got good value for money. It was a *little* annoying having a billion encores, and I found myself comparing it to the ending of 'Return Of The King', but apart from that it was simply amazing! They really enjoyed playing for us! It was hilarious when Jon mispronounced Brisbane as Brisbane, but I'm sure we can forgive him for that - on account of his extreme sexiness! Seriously! TIME LORD ALERT! Just look at him go! Rocking out like it was still the 80's. He was sweating a lot, but who wouldn't be in those tight pants? eh he he
      
It seemed the whole band has also aged really well, and they were all rocking on like gods! Bloody awesome band! I'm glad my mum loves them and used to play them all the time when I was younger! Thanks, mum!

  So....besides Bon Jovi....

I've almost finished the first draft of my new novel, 'Holloway House' =D It's taken me about a year to get it done. I really want to add some kind of car chase, but I don't know where to write it in. It's a different sort of murder mystery, with quite a lot of story-lines. I really had no idea how to weave some of them together, but it all kind of poured out of my fingers onto the keyboard and made sense. So many deaths! But all of them necessary! I'll be looking for an editor soon, so if anyone is willing and able..... :)

I'm also so excited for series 3 of Sherlock!! There's heaps of new photos posted, and new spoilers! I can't believe we've been waiting TWO WHOLE YEARS for this episode! There are so many theories as to how Sherlock escaped, and while I have my own, I still think the answer is going to be something nobody ever thought of. Just look at them! Sherlock with his smug hey-guys-I'm-not-dead look, and John's here-we-go-again look. They're so awesome!

Anyway....time to swat the baby away from the tree! Her little grabby hands just want to touch EVERYTHING!
