dirty three and i

so this began 19/02/08 @l'épicerie moderne in Lyon last year.

Me and Mario were meant to meet Tom there.. but we never made it. Instead we found ourselves in no-mans land, in the dark, in the most destitute part of Lyon.
We missed the dirty three and awesome times.

but rekindling.. yes? :)

My most favourite music clip ever.

Brilliant.

double double, toil and trouble

In my efforts to get through this weekend, things seemed to deteriorate and taunt me to no avail. Two confrontations, one complaint and a very tense Monique. If i'd been a more tolerant and more patient person, things would have been mellow and breezy. But i'm not. And never will be. So when my hard work got shafted, i said something. When I got the chance, I had a good go at a poor customer services lady.

I did however, have a good sort through of some delicious ed banger rec samples today whilst i drowned out the rest of this degoulasse world.

jonathan zawada IS space and time

This guy has been a hero since I heard him speak in 2006 circa his association with my beloved Presets. And yet his done nothing but grow and indulge in his fine skills. I'd definitely want to live in the world that he creates!

oh you amazing installation you

There should definitely be more of this folk around, I love seeing the absurd on the street. In Europe there were definitely more to make you take note of your surroundings and to maybe make your day that much more memorable.

The Vision

The vision, ambition, struggle, sacrifice, obsession and triumph. Irrespective of their chosen paths, be it mountain, ocean or amphitheatre, the film shows that artists of all kinds are united by one thing their uncompromising drive to create art.

satisfaction

you know those days where all the boxes keep getting ticked... its such a feeling of motivation when that happens. however, for me, they seem to come in surges every four or five months. it's an irrational graph that gets painted in my mind, but there are definitely cycles that we are dealing with. not seasonal, nor biological, but mentally and at the moment the waves are formulating!

nonetheless i feel my list of things to do is endless and ill never understand those who utter the words 'im bored'.. it is entirely up to you and at this moment i feel like there are a thousand things influencing me and im itching to explore, attack, realise and understand.

i better enjoy this.. cos for every high theres an equal trough.

day pass

monique is having a beautiful day. :) she feels good about many things. its good to spread good news. this is the pre-emotional spin that occurs before spring starts, and new ideas, plans and opportunities blossom. Im over optimistic at the moment but it feels good and right.

My next project!

I've actually been thinking about wanting to make a rubik's cube cake because i think it would be hella awesome.
So then i decided to rummage through google and see what cake precedents i might be able to go by. I found some stunners....

and some that i would still be so proud of.. but not AS proud...

Then there were these hectic blackberry ones...

and awesome mario ones!

and i lolled at this. spud cakes!

♥ ♥ ♥

Soooo... im probably going to get this project underway verrry soon.

Kita likes to eat weetbix, soy milk with banana slices followed by two spoonfuls of sugar.
Everyday she walks under a cluster of flowers that tower over her pinned onto the background of blue sky. She wishes she has her camera with her. But doesn't.
She likes how electrical cords look when they are tangled. Un-tangling them are a different story!
Today at work, she noticed that a ball of yarn looked like a Gremlin. It couldn't go by unnoticed! She's also seen Mr Messy, a smurf and Gumby there too. People say they see them too sometimes. Sometimes they say they don't.
Kita says "remember your apostrophes!"

my 'count on one hand' collection

haha yes i called it a collection!


this lady came in to buy some ugly fur for her "collection".. so if she can have a "collection" so can i! :)

so kita decided that her winter fling had been a joke.. and decided to explore other areas of interest. This included a profession in which her uni degree directed trajectory seemed to land her in (although not her dream job), and then being rejected with many a 'this position has already been filled' retorts. She applied for a Media Planner position which appeared to be exactly what she needed, no experience, training program, student in their final year with a keen interest. What a waste of time to apply! It was this, or writing complaints to The System in hopes that they would listen to her. Ha! Come Tuesday, some other poor soul will be turned away and be required to get stuffed and find their own way. This is the shuttle bus from the city campus to the Kuringai campus. Last week she encountered a fool of a driver who said that if only she had waited for the bus at the other bus stop, then she would've somehow gotten a space on the already full bus. Jerk! However, this will all be quickly side tracked if she finds herself stumbling outside the door of a building not so far away on her new mission. A fleeting but returning thought...

this brand set up shop at paddington markets and i think theyre from newcastle. i absolutely LOVED their stuff. there was one where they were little french words cut out and i thought that it was such a clean cut and endearing piece of work! their detail is amazing.. but to be a jeweller youd have to be.

just spent three days at the snow: selwyn, smiggens and perisher
and just recovering from the head knocks and muscle aching as of today! nobody was spared on that mountain and especially not me. haha

one more week till uni starts
have quite a few uncertainties in my head about several issues.
i do wish it was easier and more transparent
why IS there so much guesswork?

i found my half knitted scarf last night which i hope to finish this winter
might even start another one :)

lightgraff in its finest form

i saw these guys at La Fete de Lumiere in the one and only Lyon last year. These guys are amazing and its so simple yet so calculatively precise. Its ridiculously that this type and form is temperate and so intangible yet so intense and dimensional. Love love love it.

the luxury of a coherent reality

We finally made it, i said to Jean, referring to the movie, smiling for the flashing bulbs. I squeezed her elbow tight for an instant. Most everything has a multiplicity of meaning, and everything stands for something else, but sometimes, as in that brief squeeze, metaphor and intent fuse, and one enjoys the luxury of a coherent reality. .

I can't explain myself, I'm afraid, Sir, because I'm not myself you see.

oooh im wayyy too excited for this premiere! March 5th 2010!
i think tim burtons captured my ideal world completely courtesy of lewis caroll!

"i woke up at 2pm. disgusting."

i have finished semester un and NOT LOOKING BACK. programming outta my life. completely. fail. pass. is IRRELEVANT! i cant remember something that i had struggled in that badly before this. and its one of those things where when you look back on it, you wouldnt have dipped your toes in if you knew it would turn out like this. nobody likes to lose right? so EPIC FAIL and nothing substantial retained or learned. so besides it wasting some money and a lot of time i guess it teaches me just to make better and more carefully deduced decisions!

so what to do these holidays. i have yet to rever and revel but will definitely make the most of it in a command and conquer fashion. yay!

what a wonderful world

its pretty amazing isnt it!


the bunny and the little hand and big hand awww!

sadness.

i was just reading about all the people (200+) who died from the Air France plance crash from Rio to Paris. The report gave us details about the lives of all of them and struck a chord with how death can come upon us without warning. There were people who were not meant to be on that plane who got bumped into that flight, people who had won holidays from their companies and children who were flying alone to go back to their boarding school in the UK. I am overwhelmed with sadness.

obliteration

last night was the worst night ive had in ages. I cant remember a time when ive felt that devastated. well not recently. i epiphanised that:
Men who can watch a woman cry and feel nothing, are not men.
Men are all letdowns.

My new fave word. Obliteration. As in. Im going to obliterate you.

and my favourite song name EVER! :
I Pointed at You and You Burst into Flames.

I ♥ the Young & Restless.

Anger streak much?
