the go between bridge concert

We’re pretty excited about the Go Between Bridge Concert. It’s on June 25 in Brisbane and features Angus & Julia Stone, Josh Pyke, and Bob Evans, among others.

It’s all ages, and since kids aged three and younger are free, we’re taking Junior Pixels to his first music concert! We’ve already bought his Gwyneth Paltrow inspired earmuffs to protect his sensitive little ears. Tix are about $48 include booking fees, and available now, but I’d hurry, I am sure they won’t last long.

fantastic fantastic mr fox

Junior pixels turned a quarter of a year old on the weekend, so to celebrate we went to see our first movie as a trio. We decided on Fantastic Mr Fox for a number of reasons. Kitty and I both grew up with Roald Dahl galore, and we both love Wes Anderson films.

Wes didn’t disappoint. The film’s stop motion was amazing, the characters were quirky (George Clooney is awesome) and the soundtrack was great. Roald Dahl would have been impressed. The best thing about it was that Junior Pixels didn’t cry. Awesome.

We spent the weekend reorganizing our apartment in anticipation of junior pixels. We managed to sell just about all our excess stuff to people in our building (awesome reuse), and got a few new IKEA things that are a bit more practical.

My favourite new item would be our IKEA fusion table and chair set. I love the retro styling and rounded corners, plus the chairs have backs and padded seats which is something our old stools didn’t have.

I will post some pictures of our redone rooms in coming days.

Introducing junior pixels…

These pixels show the inside of Kitty’s belly.  They also sorta show what junior pixels, also known as space prawn, will look like when he/she arrives. It’s apt that all we know about junior pixels is what we can see in these pixels: pixels really have come to represent the very first stages of life.

We’re both crazy excited. The arrival of junior pixels will be a big milestone for our relationship, and will be the beginning of many adventures and good times ahead. I just need to ensure I don’t bore people too much with talk about babies.

We fly to Los Angeles on Friday morning. I just hope we don’t get swine flu when we’re there :(
