Jordan has been playing guitar for a bit under a year now, he really loves it, although maybe doesn’t practice quite as much as I would hope he will. He is fairly good, reads music well, just needs to practice that technique a bit more!
We picked up his report yesterday, and all in all I am pretty happy with it. It shows that he loves it, and I think that is the most important part!

Ok, so I haven’t taken a photo today, but I will share some images that have touched me today!
Firstly, watching a movies ‘Across the Universe’, awesome movie based around the Vietnam War and set to the songs of the Beatles, the songs are part of the movie, not just background movie so it almost becomes a Rock Opera of sorts. It is truly awesome!
The next is a book I have just finished by Suzanne Collins, it is for Young Adults, and I really recomend that you read it before give it to your kids, it is a bit emotionally draining, but truly magnificent. The only problem is that I have to wait to next year for the sequel .. arghh!
And lastly, an older series, so I just need to get hold of the books. I never read these before, again for Young Adults but really cool! Again, read it first as it is a bit strong, but fantastic. I wouldn’t have any problems with Jordan reading this one (but I think he can wait on the Hunger Games). The series is called the Tomorrow Series by John Marsden, he is an Australian Author and I am looking forward to hunting down the others. On a side note I am also read a novelisation of Hamlet that he has written, so far it is proving excellent!
So that has been my reading the last week or so, looking forward to the library tomorrow, I have a couple of Jodi Picoult books waiting for me to pick up!
Would love to know what your reading/watching!

For Christmas, my mum bought me an Amy Winehouse CD, wasn’t sure at first. Really other than her drug taking I haven’t heard much from/about her! I tentatively put the CD and absolutely loved it. I know she is in trouble, and struggling to be clean, but my goodness can she sing! The album is full of gritty, down to earth, strong music! She does some great takes on old music, and brings forth some fantastic of her own! So, was I pleased .. damn straight! Funny though, I can’t remember the last time I actually bought a CD, what with my iPod, I have been buying iTunes.
One of the first things that I did on getting home from Adelaide was to put the CD on my iPod, unfortuantely I then placed it in my car and the Sam started driving my car to work! LOL … but I went and snatched it back out today …
So that is my photo today, my very funky hot pink iPod, yes I know it is an older one, but I love it allt he same. And my very neat headphones, and pink skin … as they don’t make purple …
