Joe Flanigan - a little Stargate chat



OMG 3 blogs in one day! I'm sure there will be a long dry spell before the next one!

Spent a great day on Sunday... did a very unCenza thing. Took 2 of my girls to Melb Exhibition Centre for Armageddon:the Comic Expo. My kids love Stargate Atlantis and wanted to meet Joe Flanigan, the US actor who was attending the expo on Sunday. I'm a good mother, who was I to say no to "meeting" a very cute guy. "Of course I'll take you!" "Of course I'll stand in a queue for 3 hours" "of course I'll stand next to a six foot something very attractive actor and have my photo taken while he put his arm around me" I tell you all, being a mother is a tough job! Got a lovely photo which of course looks like a family portrait, very cute guy (see above) with myself and 2 children...our new family photo!

Constantly thinking how do these people do this? He landed in Australia at 8am. Hurried through customs, taken to hotel room, arrives at venue at 11am, photos, autographs and chat until 6pm, dinner with fans in the evening. I asked him how long he was staying and he said he was off to Byron Bay surfing on Monday and then to New Zealand on the 22nd October. Some of the other actors were only in the country for 3 or 4 days.

Also met the guy who played "the Source" (AKA the source of all evil)in the tv series Charmed who signed an autograph for my 9 year old "To Gemma. BEHAVE! Listen to the Source". For anyone who's heard me talk to my darling cheeky girl on the phone as she creates havoc at home...you will really understand this.

Also met Alan Tudyk, from - Serenity / I Robot / Dodgeball / A Knights Tale/ and the new movie Death at a Funeral. Very nice guy-great with the kids and happy to chat!

So now I know how to add photos to my blog!

Cheers til next time!

Ella's ticklish toes!


"This Little piggy went to market"....ahhh the role of the "funny aunty". This is a real novelty for me. Ella always graps a book and reverses onto my lap for a story! Very cute!

OK OK Already! I've finally added another blog! I've Flickr'd and added a photo of my niece Ella and I playing "This little piggy went to market!" A very appropriate picture for anyone involved in Youth Services!

I hope it won't take as long for me to post the next exciting installment in the Life of Cen.
