Wanted.

This little gem is a dream come true:


It's a combination Holga and Polaroid. And it's only $175. Err...I'll take back the 'only' part. I would sell $175 worth of clothing to get this camera. If my clothing is even worth that much. Which I highly doubt, considering most of it is thrifted. Time to sell that $98 Anthropologie dress which was worn twice.

But if those plans at gaining income fail, well, I suppose it's back to babysitting for $10/hour. Thats...17.5 hours of babysitting (the good thing about blogging is that you don't get to see how long it took me to figure out that amount).

Irana Douer


Whilst perusing the many blogs and whatnot that I keep track of on the interwebs, I came across this lovely artist,
Irana Douer. This is my favourite sort of artwork. It's a bit reminicent of the Decemberists' crane wife artwork. Or maybe it's just fantastic in it's own right. Or both.

Sigh no more, ladies...

...sigh no more. Men were deceivers ever. One foot in sea, and one on shore. To one thing constant never. But sigh not so, and let them go. And be you blithe and bonny. Converting all your sounds of woe into 'Hey nonny nonny'.

Recently watched Kenneth Branagh's version of Much Ado About Nothing. It's fantastic. The cast is amazing. I was particularly enamoured with a young Robert Sean Leonard (of House fame). Boy is he handsome. Plus Emma Thompson is great, as usual, as is Kenneth Branagh and Denzel Washington. Wasn't a big fan of Keanu Reaves' performance, but it was effective, although not much more than that.

That being said, go watch that film. Really, do.

it's been a long time...

I gotta say, the initial excitement of having a blog kinda wears off after a while, and then you get lazy, especially without people to prod and pester you to write things. Ah well. Summer has come, and I'm kinda proud of myself for calling those brogue-type shoes before they showed up in all these magazines. Actually it was more of "I'm gonna get some of these even if they don't become popular".

I just bought two new CDs and got 3 large songbooks out of the library:

Regina Spektor's Far


Cage The Elephant's self-titled debut album



And then I got these out of the library because I can't afford to buy them, but I really want to...







I'm excited to look through these. And hopefully be able to buy them at some point.

In other news, have people heard of
this? It's going to be epic.

Well, that's all for now.

Give yourself to love...

...if love is what you're after. Open up your heart to the tears and laughter.

It's been a while. Didn't you miss me? Wow, that was a narcissistic thing to say. Please pay no attention to that. Ok. Anyways, let me begin.

Item 1:
School. it's over. really, truly over. for this year, of course. My goodness how fast this year went by. I still don't feel like school is actually out. It's surreal.

Item 2:
Well, more like items. I do believe it's time for a fashion blog.




Forever 21




Dorothy Perkins




Marc by Marc Jacobs

That's my fashion round up for this week. Has anyone else noticed how much I'm in love with flowers? Because it's starting to dawn on me...hmmm...

Apocalypse Please

That's great, it starts with an earthquake, birds and snakes, an aeroplane, Lenny Bruce is not afraid. Eye of a hurricane, listen to yourself churn – world serves its own needs, don’t misserve your own needs. Feed it off an aux speak, grunt, no, strength, turn, ladder, start to clatter with fear fight down height. Wire in a fire, representing seven games, in a government for hire and a combat site. Left of west and coming in a hurry with the furies breathing down your neck. Team by team reporters baffled, trumped, tethered cropped look at that low playing! Fine, then. Uh oh, overflow, population, common food, but it'll do. Save yourself, serve yourself. World serves its own needs, listen to your heart bleed dummy with the rapture and the revered and the right, right. You vitriolic, patriotic, slam, fight, bright light, feeling pretty psyched.

It's the end of the world as we know it
It's the end of the world as we know it
It's the end of the world as we know it, and I feel fine...

(c) R.E.M. 1988


This song always brightens my day. It's fast paced, cheery, sarcastic, and a mouthful to sing. It's great.
