Open Mic Night

So my best buddy in a hoody is going away for a week to somehwere nice and hot that's named after a christmas meal. Turkey! Yes that's right she is swanning off and sunning herself in none other than the beautiful land that is, Turkey. Jealous much? erm . . . (Looks the window at the grey sky) Yes! And, I will miss her while she is gone.

So to wish her farewell we decided lets go get a few bevvy's in. Nice one! But I'm not really maseph on the club scene if I am honest. I'm more of a go out and have meal with a few drinks kind of girl. Or a pubby. At least somewhere where I can hear the people I am with, I don't have to remove myself from ym seat because some man is dribbling on my shoulder and I dont have to put up with randoms saying "Will . . . (hiccup)... you be my .... (burp) ... Friend?).  With that in consideration we headed for "Alchemy!" a local bar with real fires and the like. Wednesday night (lucky for us) is open mic night and what a night it is. Wonderful. I love open mic nights. It's so lovely to just be able to sit and listen to loads of unique styles and just have a bit of a laugh really.

Is this post dragging on!? Yep! Sorry, what I am trying to get to is . . . I got up there! Indeed I did. I took the guitar and bashed out the old  "foundation" by none other than "Miss Kate Nash" herself. It was great fun. There I was with Chantelle on the stage, sitiing on one of those ridiculousy high stools strumming and picking away. Great stuff. I will defeantly be going there again.

If you are local to Wolverhampton get yourself down there it's a great night guaranteed! :-)

Here's  few picture from last night. Unfortuantley none actually show us up on the stage as Chantelle had stolen my Blackberry to find and sing along to the lyrics!

Actually, that is the only photograph I have of the whole night. Oohps! Oh well, here we have Kerrie and Chantelle attending the Open Mic Night!

MOJO April Edition Is Superb!

"Paul Weller is a man often misunderstood. At least that's the conclusion you reach when you've aborbed Lois Wilson's fascinating and piece with the former Jam man this month. Then again, despite being one of the most revered British artists of the past 30 years, Paul is not alone in that respect. According to her friends and bandmates, Janis Joplin was equally misread. This month, as we mark the 40th anniversary of Janis's passing, we continue MOJO's ongoing journey to unravel the personalities behind the music that soundtracks our lives."

What A Wonderful Edition, Seriously One Must Pick It Up And Read It!

Oh and the low down on my dog, Blue. Remember I told you, a few posts back that he had to go the vets again because we believed he may have swallowed something. Well he hasn't really got any better from the last consultation we had from the vet so today he had to go in for an Xray. :-( This means he had to be sedated! They couldnt find any blockages. So, next theory, Could be bacterial infection or parasites. Sounds nasty. You see when a dog eats anything, they can catch anything! Wish he would just walk without picking up everything he sees on the ground. Get better my little "Bluebian!

New Headshots!

So as I am on my way up ever so slightly. What with a new agent and that I thought it only best to get me self snapped again. Get some variety I was thinking to myself. My present headshots are a bit dull really and I'm very limited with them to be honest. Plus I'm smiling and that's a big NO NO! So yeah Saturday I went down to the Blakemore photography studio and got me self snapped away for the morning. Fun! I don't have copies of the photographs yet but will do soon. So I will let you all have a mooch at them some time soon.

Boogie Nights 2010

Well that came around quickly. Too quickly infact. So yeah . . . Tonight Boogie Nights re-hearsals start. I am quite excited as we have a new director and loads of new members apparently. So it should be really good to get back. Plus I'm really looking forward to getting back on the Grand Theatres stage! :-) Whoop! Missed it! Oh and no doubt there will be some crazy antics through out re-hearsalas as there always is. Chamapgne and the like! haha! :-) I will let you know dates and that if you fancy coming along to watch. It would be great to see you all there! :-)

I won! I won! I Only Bloomin Won!

So I jumped into my Dad's car this morning to go to work when I heard on the radio "Only 5 minutes left to get your answers in?" when I asked Dad what the competition was for he told me it was to win Two tickets to the local Wolves game this weekend. Wolves V Stoke. I am not a maspeh football follower but I do like to get the low down. Plus it is a favourite past time as a kid for me. Off to the match every week with my Dad. So, I thought I would give it a go. But deep down I knew that the winner had probably already been chosen what with only 5 minutes to spare. But how wrong was I!?! I had a phone call back within minutes and I was live on the radio claiming my prize. Well Shocked! Shocked indeed! Wonderful though. I'm quite excited to go along. Me and the Fiancee will be going along to support our team this Sunday Wahey! Give us a win then lads! :-)

So a big thank you to the Wolf radio station 107.7. I will let you know how we get on after the weekend.

It Was Bank Holiday And I was Gone For Like ... Ever!

Sorry guys. I am fully aware that I had just dissapreared off the face of the earth over bank holiday. I was quite busy those few days. Many apolagies sent out if you were waiting for me to post and I let you down. Super sorry.

I have one thing to say to you all right now.

"I hope you had a really great easter folks!!!"

Hope you didn't eat too many of these bad boys (above) infact, tell a lie. I HOPE YOU DID! because. . .  isn't that what you do at easter. You eat! Loads and loads hahah! seriously, I hope you had a gooden!

Any way . . .  If you look above, this is what I have been busy doing this bank holiday. That's right I have been working with Urban Voice limited on a Project for Walsall Council called Map My Journey. It's all about people using services that the NHS provide and telling us their opinion on them. It was a really good couple of days actually. I had a good time with them. Took a while to get set up and then to pack down to but all worth it. It was quite good to hear people opinions on different services that are available eg: Stop Smoking, Weight loss, Excercise etc.

We set it up in such a way that we filmed the public in a "Diary room", We recorded their voices in "Sat Nav" style and we took photographs of them with signs they had created with their own artwork. Along with filling in questionaires and of the like. With all this different information and different styles a website is being created to share these opinions. That will hopefully be up and running soon, so I will pass that address on as soon as it's live.

Check out Urban Voice Limited here: www.urbanvoice.co.uk

Another great thing about the last few days is I absaloutley pigged out on flap jack! Oh lordy, far too much of the stuff. Apparently meant to be healthy for you. But, can't be, not when you eat a whole slab of the stuff! hahah!

Pointless post? Meh!

My Dog

Me and Blue boy, our Weimarana

Bizarre topic to be speaking about, I know. But seriously my dog is great. I have decided to dedicate this post to him as I have spent the majority of the morning calming him down at the vets. As he appears to have a bit of a tendancy for eating things, you could imagine our worry when he fell ill last week. Our first thought "Oh my word he has eaten a corn on the cob again!" You see, to help you understand that last sentance. 6 months ago he had to have an operation to remove a corn on the cob from his bowell.It's true I'm not lying. It would appear that behind our back our dog tucked in to a KFC variety box and failed to digest or even chew the corn side order. It was a real worry as goodness knows how long it had been jammed in there and what it was doing to him. But one day he became so ill that an emergency op had to be performed and to our suprse "SWEET BLOOMIN CORN!" Shock shock. But now he is all better apart from a minor bowell infection. That's the cause of the vet trip this morning. Much to my relief. So swallow something un-swallowable he did not. Joy! Some antibiotics will do the trick.

Isn't it strange how quickly you form a bond with your pet. No matter what animal it is. If it is in your owner ship and your care then you just fall in love with it. I could not imagine my life without Blue now. Home would not be home without him living in it.

- When I go home after work I love to hear him bounding down the strais, skidding on the laminate floor and smashing into the front door. All that just so he can see me.

- I love how during the night he snuggles up in between us and does anything just to be near us. Even knowing that our ankles are by him, makes him happy.

- He sits and he waits for his food like a true gentlman. You can see him dribbling as he sits there and wait for the command. "It's yours" Goodness, the second he heres those words he bounds face first into his food bowl.

He is just a gentle giant is our Blue Boy and whether it sounds funny or not "I love him!"

Oh and yes Blue does wear a hoodie when he is cold. Keeps him warm (And trendy) of course :-)
