Nikki Blonsky and Zac Efron in Australia
I only just realized that the Hairspray Premier in Australia was last week. Pia actually was on George St when Zac and Nikki were at the cinema there. I've posted some youtube videos of an interview from Rove - I was in tears laughing from this one, Rove is just the epidemy of sarcasm! And also I've posted a Sunrise interview which I'm yet to watch because I've got class in a few minutes. I've just posted these up for my reference and for any Hairspray fans out there!

Nikki holds on for a "short" one
Hallett Hall, 3rd Floor West
Well I haven't taken any photos of my dorm as of yet and my room because I don't think it is in a state that is presentable enough. However, Chris took this video of our room and hallway one night because his camera started working. He had dropped it on concrete at some party and the lens had trouble retracting again. I should start bringing my camera out every day instead of just bringing it for special occasions because you always seem to need one when you don't have one on you.
Please excuse the language at the beginning:
Tim-tams discovered
Just when I thought Tim-Tams were non existent in America, Vicki and Sophie discovered them at a food market store just across from Target (30th and Pearl). I feel kind of let down now thinking that Tim-Tams was an Australia exclusive item but what can you do? America has everything.
Today I had a pretty laid back day. I didn't do much except go to one lab class. The food at the dining halls was nothing special again but they had jalapenos!!! I miss them in my Subway sandwiches. I'm really looking forward to the weekend, hopefully spending the day in Denver...just not at home. Oh...I forgot to mention that I could possibly be going to a Drew Seeley performance in Denver in Nov/Dec sometime. I don't know the exact date but it's going to be great. Seeing one of my idols will be great. Anyway I'm going to leave you with a picture of a beautiful Boulder rainbow taken by Vicki.
CU Anywhere
I just thought that I might point out to any potential CU-Boulder students that some of your classes may be video recorded. I knew that one of my classes was recorded for archiving purposes but I never knew where to download them. The page is called CU Anywhere. You can download the lecture or stream it (which is not a problem here in America because your internet is great!). Here's just a little snapshot of what you could be watching instead of actually being there (though I'm not telling you to skip classes).

10 months old
I recently got an email saying my domain was about to expire in 60 days which makes www.jamesflores.net 10 months old! Jeez am I going to have to do something special for my 1st birthday LOL. Last night I had dinner with Todor at Arby's. It totally sucks...do not go there, the food is so sub standard. The night before that Sophie and I had dinner at some mexican place on the hill. Burritos are so good and I think I could live entirely off them. We actually took some photos outside the tunnel to the hill:

Vanessa Hudgens goes public
Well apparently the co-star of High School Musical 1 and 2, Vanessa Hudgens, has exposed herself and it has leaked onto the internet. I do admire her as an actor but I don't think that something like this should ruin her career. I'm not saying that it's normal to happen but things beyond the normal like this happen all the time in day to day life but she just happened to be a celebrity so it matters more. A Vanessa Hudgens' representative had the following comment on the photographs:
Vanessa Hudgens’ representative has confirmed that a nude photo circulating on the Internet is indeed the 18-year-old star of Disney Channel’s wildly popular “High School Musical” series. “This was a photo which was taken privately,” a statement from a Hudgens spokesman. “It is a personal matter and it is unfortunate that this has become public.” The photo shows the 18-year-old actress standing naked in what appears to be a bathroom, with a red shower curtain behind her.

Anyway I hope she doesn't get dropped from the next movie. I also came across this youtube vid of a radio interview on 2DAY FM Sydney with Kyle and Jackie O that interviews Zac Efron about Hairspray. They also drop the question about Vanessa, but as always he refuses to comment about anything to do with his friends - fair enough...I care about my friends too and respect their privacy. So take a look at the interview below:
Salvo’s International Dance Party
This post was long overdue but last week Salvo hosted a great international student's party. It was great to see heaps of diversity and to meet heaps of people. The great thing about going to these events is having to remember names of everyone you meet. The next day you spend an hour or two adding these people to Facebook. Anyway, enough chatter and here are some pics. Visit the album for all the pics.
I pretty much wanted to go home by this point...
