hi

 I still haven't read these magazines. The first one I bought back in the first week of February.  Found straws and made stars. Watching the first ep of season 4 of True Blood while blogging.

Breakfast at 3.

Having been on my mid semester break for almost a week I've done nothing but sleep, eat and go on my laptop. By sleep I mean for at least nine hours a day and wake up in the afternoon after hectic nights of watching Nigella Express and Spongebob Squarepants. This past week has been pretty unproductive, bordering on boring but, I quote Dan Harmon, 'I am bored, and I don't want to be not-bored, because being bored is a luxury, but it's a boring luxury'. Maybe I should watch Community. eta: With all this time I am unapologetically going to clog up your feeds. To relieve my boredom (I really get bored watching shows I like... err) I made some meringues last night with a berry sauce with some remaining frozen berries I had stashed in the freezer.
 I couldn't take a very good photo without opening the oven door. (and my brother and I ate all the meringues before I could take any photos whoops)  While the meringues are baking in the oven I started on the sauce. miam miam Woke up at 3 today and complained to Jane about having nothing to eat. Nonetheless I gathered some ingredients and had a pretty terrific meal.  Didn't realise photo was blurry until I started editing. Forgive me, I've only been awake for a little over an hour. Pan toasted some bread and used the egg yolks from last night's meringue eggs to make eggs in a basket. Sliced some avocado and warmed up a chickpea patty. Yoghurt and museli, topped with the berry sauce I had left (which turned into a jam!)  Mixed.   Ate some grapefruit.

okay, I gotta start charging. Gon b rich.

luv luv luv

The video's been removed since posting. It was British Style Genius The Street Look.

An addiction of sorts

If you've had the displeasure of meeting me, you probably know that I am a nut for stationery. It all started in Year 1 when my parents would reward me a Pentel gel pen (they were cool) for every school merit card I received. The first one was gold, then silver, blue and red (these were all metallic). Nothing much has changed since then besides a marginally bigger budget (I am no longer six years old) and slightly refined taste. Last month Inscriber sent out a newsletter informing subscribers that they were closing and merging with NoteMaker... and sent me a 20% discount code. HELL YES. A few days ago NoteMaker had a Queen's birthday sale so armed with my discount code I went shopping. I didn't purchase much though and may take advantage of the code again.
 Look at the grain, LOOK AT IT.  2 A4 Rhodia pads. Cheap as. (they were $4.95 each)  Lamy Safari in AQUAMARINE hehehehehehehehehe

My semester's over but I'm still trying to complete this assignment (haha 'trying to complete this assignment' - all I've done is write a checklist of things I need to do). Despite this minor bump in the road (to er, happiness?) I've planned out what I'm going to be doing for the rest of my seven week break.

• sleep until 13:00h every day unless I've got work
• save up
• watch as my bank balance goes up
• write on The People Repeller
• BRAT PACK FILMS!
• maybe rat pack as well?
• watch the 32gb worth of films I have on my laptop currently (this is kind of embarrassing...)
• swim w/ Jane (Jane we must. You get to see little kids.) 
• delete stuff from my laptop. I don't care what. I have less than 100gb left and I'm freaking out.
• READ HARRY POTTER (TIA Jane)
• not attempt to make macaron shells and waste egg yolks
• listen to the music on my iTunes then delete stuff.
• attempt to fix my skin up
• annoy people with my incessant blogging
• design headers for V and S
• buy Tom Ford lipsticks before they get repackaged
• restart Mixtape Mondays
• get a start on typography for next semester

That last point looks out of place but after last Thursday's lecture by next semester's subject coordinator I am shitting my pants. We have three assignments and for one of them we are actually designing our own WORKING fonts. We even need symbols and ligatures. SHIT BRIX M8. Feeling sorry for my future self. 

Wednesday is going to be brilliant. 

Oh yeah, turns out it isn't blogger which is making my photos look funny. It's actually Google Chrome and its shitty colour rendering. If you view my blog in Safari/Firefox/other browser errthang should be sweet.

I'm on a 5 day weekend but instead of attempting to complete the two assignments I have left I've been watching films, eating and sleeping in. Today I woke up at approximately 12:30 because the phone rang (I missed the call anyway). I would've stayed in bed for longer if it weren't for that call. I bet it was a telemarketer. Got dressed in my usual hobo get up, put on my mask and went to the post office to collect what I thought would be a parcel but turns out they were just tickets.  I went into Westfield to buy some lunch – a focaccia. When I returned home I realised I had enough ingredients to make a better one. $8 wasted. I've had the biggest craving for sour ears for the past couple of days and knowing me and my self control I went and bought some pick 'n' mix. So good. The other day my brother gave me some Hershey's. Crappy American chocolate.
