Last Friday I was lucky enough to go with my mother to the Netherlands Dans Theater at the Civic. Amazing doesn't even begin to describe it. All four dances were beautifully done, complete with lights and everything. It's not in New Zealand for long, but if you do get the chance to see it take it! Just have a look at the trailer below. It's incredible!
Glow in the Dark
Our school recently held a glow in the dark themed disco. As usual my friend and I went, only to dress up. Despite the fact that we usually don;t enjoy the discos we ended up having a good time dancing with our friends. We're really hoping for a good theme next time!
After the disco I stole some glow sticks and created these cool jars.

It's a crafty thing I've seen on pinterest a few times and I wanted to try it. You cut open the glow stick and shake out the liquid into a jar. The effect was awesome, even though they didn't last long. But I assume that's 'cause the sticks had been cracked for a while already.
Gollum
Last, last Friday was Adrians school book dress up day. He's always been able to do a creepy voice that sounds exactly like Gollum, despite never reading the books or seeing the movies. So, he went as Gollum. Unfortunately being the introvert he is he didn't act to out at school, but he still looked great and in my opinion this is one of the best costumes I've ever seen! (Well done Mum!)
The BFG
If you're a book fan (like me) I very strongly recommend you go see this movie. If you are not a book fan (very unlike me) I very strongly recommend you go see this movie. Even if you haven't read the book the magic will capture you. I was lucky enough to go see an advanced screening with an old teacher who invited me. I can honestly say it's the best movie adaption of a book ever. Everything's all most exactly how I imagined it.
That's all really. My apologies for this long post but because I haven't been able to post in a while, production practice, school work that stuff, I just put everything into one. Anyway it's nearly the holidays so keep smiling!
