sunday bloody sunday

I’ve actually done some of the things I said I would today which is amazing. Still an overall very unproductive day though. Oh well. I would apologise for the lack of posts recently but you weren’t expecting much better were you. No.

La di daaaa. I’m so uninspired today. My apologies to the Justin Heazlewood’s of the blogosphere.
**********************************************************************************************
songs for sunday
The Doldrums - Josh Pyke
Morningside - Sara Bareilles
Sleep all Day - Jason Mraz [SO relevant to my weekends. *sigh*]
Time To Pretend - MGMT [ aka the Managment]
To Much To Do - Sparkadia
Be Your Own Pet - The Kelly Affair
I’m going to leave it there because I think saying nothing is preferable to saying a lot but saying nothing in the process.
Nice to meet you anyway though.

NOTE:

I just looked at my blog as a website and the other day I put up a post with ‘a’ as the subject and no body. I have no recollection of doing this and don’t know why I would’ve done so. I’m assuming it was a mistake. Just thought I’d clear that up with you all.

Because life isn’t worth living…

…if your socks don’t have cupcakes on them!!!

 
Gotta love topshop. And I’ve never even been in to one of their stores. It’ll happen one day and from that day on I will be poor. NOTE: the red cherry’s are in SPARKLY THREAD. When my mum gave my these upon returning from overseas I nearly fainted at their perfection. Oh, and I ate a really awesome cupcake the other day, I’ll be getting another one and I shall take a pic for you, they’re pretty cute. But what cupcake isn’t.
Wow, a post entirely about cupcakes Gala* would be proud.
Just so you all** know I’ve been a bit sick all week which is turning out to be some virus that may or may not prevent posting, it’ll probably slow it down and don’t expect many if any what I wore today posts cause fashion is not a priority*** when I feel this crap. So, nice to meet you anyway, come again if you feel like it.
*iCing run by Gala at www.galadarling.com. She has a cupcake fetish also.
**I mean all in the loosest construct of the word. This is me pretending theres actually someone, let alone multiple people, reading this.
***I cannot believe those 5 words left my mouth in that order. Gasp.

My Daily[ish] ’shot of academic adrenalin’

Title cred to Justin Heazlewood, writer of the article ‘dear blog…’ in the current issue of frankie. magazine. I absolutely uncategorically LOVE this magazine. I’m TERRIBLE with superfluous spending in that even if I’m not buying clothes I still spend too much money on food, COFFEE, alcohol, petrol etc. One of these expenditures was magazines and with a cut down on all of these categories I haven’t bought one in AGES. It was a trial. But I managed. Just. Until yesterday. With an undoubtedly long wait in a waiting room ahead of me I bit the bullet. I looked at Russh and the free napoleon nail polish coming with madison but my trusty frankie was calling my name. It was SO worth it. I LOVE Marieke Hardy who also writes in the Green Guide [Entertainment supplement of The Age, national newspaper] AND co hosts the morning show on triple j which is coincidentally my favourite radio station.

BUT back to Justin Heazlewood’s article, the whole thing is so damned quoteable I dont even know what to share with you my little cupcakes! I think I’ll tantilise your taste buds with the little bold intro;
“Dear Blog, Today I did this and said that and made this private joke and generally my grammar was terrible and I got myself into a situation with no dramatic tension or character arcs and I guess you had to be there *SUBMIT*”
Gold. Pure Gold.

I’m about to get philosophical on your ass.

Na just kidding. Last night I told my friend to get primordial on that sharks ass, cause his name had kill sharks in it. Then he tried to convince me primordial was spelt primorial. He said haha, no d, you don’t mix it with water to make a sweet drink. Which was a sweet call. But he was wrong. Which I thought was pretty funny. Thought I’d share that with you all.

You know I think the power of hot chocolate is underrated. I just had one and before I drank it I had a headache and I was stressing about this Biology Independent Learning Task that was due like, this morning. I was flustered and feeling rather flat in general. I now feel quite zen. I think this is also thanks to my current soundtrack, Josh Pyke, save your chicken soup for lunch I say. Go with Josh Pyke.
I have a great track record for listening to music despite, not because of, the message. Like a lot of Josh Pyke’s stuff is about love or the search for it [what music isn't] and that’s just not a major theme in my life. I do recall after my last break up going a bit crazy over Lily Allen’s Smile which is a little vindictive of me but trust me when I say, well deserved on his part. So I’m clearly effected more by the music than by the lyric. But thats weird because I’m kind of a singer so you’d think I’d concentrate on the lyric above the music. Something to ponder. Maybe I just found a topic for my Music Psychology essay, I’ll ask my lecturer tomorrow shall I.
So now that random rant seems to have ended, I shall once again love you and leave you. Nice to meet you anyway.

can’t blog.

must. write. essays. awwww who am I kidding. Check out my hair the other day, if only it would last. My hair is straight and seems to have a moral issue with staying curly.




was pretty fun. Just went crazy with the hair straightener. Clearly still in bum clothes, here you can enjoy a peek at my year 12 jumper from school by canterbury and my orientation camp t-shirt. Fashion fast lane people.


in this pic:
vintage tee from dads wardrobe
black long sleeved tee from sportsgirl
grey cheap mondays
lace ups from kmart

just in case you were wondering I’m not responsible for this formatting, blog is doing it by itself. Rather bizarre don’t you think?

oh how I love thee

gg. * Tis sad I know, but what can I do, I’m hooked! I downloaded the two episodes that have shown in America and it was really quite thrilling. Most memorable fashion moment; blair in a yellow coat, serena in red [leather of course] and orange fingerless gloves then chuck walks in in, yes, orange. This particular shade of orange was a little too far in the fluro direction for me but I’ll go with if only for the sartorial pleasure derived from the first three colours on the rainbow. *sigh*

Though on their first day back B wore a purple concoction which made her look, well, a little bit… shall we say rounder than she is? Random! Poor choice.
They’re really committed to Chuck new look aren’t they, I’m pretty sure I saw almost-dayglo yellow pants. With royal purple on top. Wowza. Not bad just, wow.
Oh and Vanessa, digging the mustard dress with the bow at the neck and that shrunken leather jacket! So… fetch! [NOTE: the actress that plays Vanessa, anyone see her on What About Brian?! Loved that show, but then they cancelled it. Sad.]
* gg = gossip girls. though it could [and often does in my world] mean gilmore girls. be aware.
********************************************************************************************
It’s 11:53 pm and when I got up today I had 1450 words left to write for the essays I have due on monday. How many do I have now do you ask? I’d say about 1460 actually. I’m that skilled, I went backwards. Referencing is a biatch incase ya’ll didn’t know that. 11:59. I could do songs for sunday in a couple of minutes but I’m pretty sure I actually haven’t got any new music this week which is A NOVELTY to say the least. I’m always getting new music. Weird.
I’m writing a bit of my essay, it’s pretty taxing lol.
********************************************************************************************
So your getting old music. Doesn’t mean its bad though.
Memories and Dust - Josh Pyke
Anyone Else But You - The Moldy Peaches [on the Juno soundtrack, still haven't seen that film]
Forever Song - Josh Pyke
Hearts A Mess - Gotye [my most played song on iTunes, love him so much!!! Real name? Wally de Backer. No shit.]
I Hate Camera - The Bird and the Bee
Little Miss Pipedream - The Wombats
