Published

I had my internship again today and when I got into the office I picked up the latest edition of The Brag and flicked through, only to find that they published my work last week!

It's only small little bits and bobs I did for each music genre page, like Pop/Rock/Dance etc. but still, I guess that ticks off something from my Bucket List! 

The day was pretty easy and I just did loads of admin for them, and a few more news snippets about upcoming tours and new releases. There's also another intern there who I met who's also at UNSW so it's quite nice to be able to share the workload with someone. He's been there a while longer and is being sent to do some film reviews and stuff this week, so hopefully that'll be me soon!

On my lunch break I spotted this little gem...

...I love this place!

Whilst I was cataloging all the demo CDs and new albums which record companies send The Brag to tempt them to review and put on their website/magazine, I asked Chris what he did with all the CDs and he explained that apart from the ones which he needed this week, I could help myself and take any I wanted. There are boxes and boxes of them I had a rifle through one of the boxes and picked out some which I thought looked good - my decision was totally swayed by the album covers but hey, even if they're shit at least they're fun to look at! I've brought about ten home with me and will browse through them this week, hopefully discovering some cool new artists. Massive bonus getting free music! There's loads of well known artists as well as completely random tiny little bands, so watch this space for anything good I find.

After I finished I went to go see my friend Jesse who DJs at Searock Bar every Friday and Saturday night as he lives really close. He's moving out of his apartment this week and I wanted to see it before it was too late. He lives on the 34th floor and the views are AMAZING. The whole place is literally ridiculous, everything is cream carpets and marble bathrooms and pretty much every bedroom has a balcony. He's moving out because it's way too expensive ($450 A WEEK!?!?!?!) but he's obviously had fun living there for a few months!

The view out over to where I live

So jealous of this view, and he even has a spa on the balcony - say whaaaa!? The flat was looking a bit empty as he and his 3 flatmates were packing up all their stuff, but seriously, it's a crazy place to live. His TV is bigger than my bed for gods sake!

Perhaps, one day, I'll be rich and famous and own my own famous music magazine in Sydney and will live in a ridiculous apartment like this... but for now it looks like I'm just going to have to keep toddling along with my internship and salvaging lost and lonely demos CDs from the bin boxes.
