If I knew it was your birthday I would have baked you a cake

"Happy New Year!' & "Happy Birthday" is all I have been hearing for the past week and don't get me wrong, I love a happy attitude for the new year coming in and towards me for my birthday, but I'm not so sure about my birthday plans.

Why? you ask... Well, ever since I can remember, my birthday's always been a very eventful and momentous time. I celebrated my 21st birthday with a host of fabulous friends and loved it. This year, having made no plans; I'm celebrating it with me, myself and I in front of a laptop, moaning how un-eventful my birthday has been. Maybe I should just keep drinking the christmas gifted wine next to me or maybe with the magic of the internet, I should create an eventful weekend.

Alas (A lack and oh bugger!) while looking at my schedule, I can't make plans because of work. Isn't that ALWAYS the way!? You have a birthday and because of work you have to either work the day it's on (which I have done), or work the weekend you're plans are made, or in my case, not made (which I also have done).

So do I ring in sick to work or just work? My plans will be set this weekend, with or without management's approval.

Music Review: Owl City

Owl City is more then music. It is social commentary written to music, composed by Adam Young and Matthew Thiessen. I was given the CD by one of my best friends and another Wellington showgirl for Christmas and while I love the catchy hook of 'Cave In' and 'Fireflies', I wasn't too impressed on many of the other songs.

 They somewhat lacked something and sounded like filler music; you know the music on a CD that's there just to pad the CD out. On the bonus disc (I was given the 'DELUXE' edition) There is a very campy remix of 'Hello Seattle' in which I have been blasting for days on end.

Although the CD is good, I think the neighbours are a little sick of hearing Owl City. I am a little reserved on the content, I give this CD 3 out of 5 sequin stars this week.
