Yep! It's a musical about the life and times of the first Secretary of the Treasury Alexander Hamilton. The musical is all sung - think: Les Mis - and it's mainly hip-hop. There are 3 songs that are completely traditional theatre, but they're so entertaining. I posted about it here a while ago and my goal is to get…

It's also freely streaming on Spotify.

GOOD MAN TERE

Fun fact: Guns and Ships is arguably the fastest Broadway song ever.

That's what happens when you go up against Miranda.

I don't know whether it was the fact that it was 3 hours, incredibly Brechtian or had so many rapes, but I hated it. Why my lecturer thought it was appropriate to put on a university course quite frankly astounds me.

Everyone wants the first one, SG, whether they know it or not :D

1. Three Colours: Red
2. Mon Oncle
3. The Discreet Charm of the Bourgeoisie
4. Don't Look Now

You don't have to read Eleanor & Park before reading Fangirl, they're completely unrelated. But I would recommend reading Fangirl before Carry On.

I asked my friend if I could include other mediums - great opportunity to spread the word of Hamilton and oh so many TV Shows- but she just wants films.

I didn't consume much pop culture as much as I shelved all my pop culture - my number of bookcases in my room has trebled to 3 - one for DVDs, one for fiction and one for everything else which is mainly history, philosophy and comics.

Mad Max: Fury Road picked up 6 technical awards at the AACTA Industry Awards:

I used to call where my Papa and Gran lived 'Up a Palm Tree'! But they don't really grow around these parts, you have to head further up the coast to start getting them. We just have one of those fake ones you put in a box.

There's not really much around these parts in Fall, but we used to have a whole hoop-la when we put up our Christmas Tree.

The Labor Leader of the Opposition suggested lowering the voting age to 16 and it made absolutely no impact. Granted, we do have compulsory voting here, but there wasn't really any huge support/any comment on it.

So I know this is a cliche answer - and wow a really long answer too sorry about that - but I don’t really have one best friend. I prefer to keep a few - ok it’s not a few anymore but it used to be - close friends as opposed to lots of friends/acquaintances. That’s just what works for me, each to their own. I’ll talk…

Haven't watched the clip, but in my head I read the "I am hot. With. Rage." line in the voice of Andre Braugher on B99.

Probably finally start my rewatch/watch of Adventure Time while trying to fit my books into my bookshelf. Spoiler alert: the books will defeat me.

Me too!
