I am under no illusion that I do not have a very privileged life, and I'm thankful for that. Of course if living a blessed life meant an eternal life which sucked I'd throw it away in a heartbeat. All things considered I've had a great and busy week, and it's that which I want to talk about :)
Earlier in the week I went to the Melbourne performance of the famed musical Les Miserables. It was an amazing performance (I've seen tapes/dvds/youtube clips of the English performances and films) by any standard and well worth the admission. I just love the mixture of grandeur and epic story with the music Then on Thursday I ended up heading across to my best mate's place (he lives with several other young adults) for some video gaming (Dota 2) and a late night Maccas' run. Friday it was a trip to the footy, which is where the first downside of the week struck in that my team played worse than I have ever seen them play before and we lost - but flipside is it wasn't an important game yet and there is still room to bounce back. And today I went to the Melbourne Oz comic con - which is a new event since 2011 and one I have never been to. Seeing the cool geeky and nerdy cosplaying and the various actors (X-men's Shawn Ashmore, and SG1's Richard Dean Anderson) was pretty awesome and I walked away with some cool posters and comics. That said I lost/may have had my backpack taken at the very end. Fortunately I had my keys, phone and wallet - but I did lose one book I was busy reading and a t-shirt that I liked...
But still two negatives in a week full of amazing fun makes for one amazing week! I hope everyone else had great weeks too, and that my American friends enjoyed their 4th July holiday celebrations :)
