Step back to the 80's with the pleasure of drinks from the millenium...#lovemelbourne #bars

After our delectable dining at Hardware Lane, we stopped by Robot Bar for a quick drink and a reminder of life in the 80's...

We sipped on frothy and chilled Espresso Martini's while we played Galaga on the big old brown box game machine (official name unknown...however I am sure my disappointed boyfriend will comment with it). We played, yelled, consoled while we fondly remembered our childhoods. The only regrettable incident from the evening was that when I finally managed to win a game, post serious RSI to my right thumb and possible, no definite disturbance to the other more relaxed patrons, I entered my name on the list of winners as 'AAA'...not sure if that means I had started my own association of AA or perhaps needed to, but none the less it was a sign it was time to cease drinking cocktails and journey home. It is a quirky, neo-Tokyo bar found at the end of another of the funky lanes found in Melbourne. If anime was/is your thing, you can gaze at your childhood heros pinned up on the walls or you can place your $1 in the game machine for the reward of 3 lives - if only life was this simple. So when you feel the need to step away from your busy world consumed with worries of jobs, relationships, politics, money and tomorrows pop down to Robot Bar and remember the joy of being a child and only worrying about who wins the next game...

About

I am a final year student at RMIT (Media) and its now time to get serious (well intermittently) and start combining my various online profiles into one that captures who I am now and where I want to be heading. My passion is writing, whether it be in screenplays (short and feature length fiction and documentary), novels (I'm progressing slowly with my first), journalistic endeavours (starting/hoping) and of course my blogs, which are currently spread out across 4 separate accounts and will soon be centralised here. I also procrastinate in photography and video production and I am currently editing my doco which I filmed throughout Melbourne and South East Asia. I will also post my everyday footage of settings, people and things that make me smile, make me cry or make me think along the way. I dabble in web design and have just finished studying a course in Graphic Design, so watch for my new logo to be posted shortly. And in the case that this was not enough, I've just started Italian lessons as a sidekick. So I hope over time this posterous site can entertain, inform and distract those who are also multi-tasking their way through cyberspace and life.
