today was an incredible aftermath from yesterdays 4am crazyness with bassnectar.
who was incredible. fyi.
favourite photo.

jelly fish!








penguin

johanna beach sunset.
in that moment everything was puurrrfect.

we went camping this weekend, again.
i may be an addict?

i returned yesterday from one of the most memorable weekends of my life.

well the weather has finally changed for the better!
two friends and i went to some incredible vintage markets this morning.
i bought a chair, 2 small glass bottles and a mannequin foot. (!!)
it's a sunday afternoon and i'm doing my readings for my art history lecture.
i wonder if university art history teachers will ever get sick of talking about duchamp's urinal in reference to modernism and it's link to post modernism? uggh i don't think so.
so these little glass bottles and plants are my new fascination.


these are the new blue ones i bought at the markets

the mannequin foot

& my chair was too hard to photograph on my tiny balcony.

blergh, vitamin c, get in me.
i'm feeling horrid today.

we have established a tea tree off the deck of my apartment.

we've found wonderful jewelery.

and we've worn daggy clothing in our desperation to stay home and keep warm.

if i said anything about these photos i'd be a liar. i don't know the subjects at all.
but what i do know is that they're super cute spaniards.

I've done it!
I'm in melbourne.
I live in melbourne.
All my things are in melbourne.
I have a roomie.
I'm lucky to have her to live with.
O-week starts tomorrow.
Uni starts in a week.
Everyone who lives here is american.

day 2 groceries at the vic markets.

last few hot days in this city.




more soon!

a cat, a dog, a peacock, chickens and grapes.

as i have nothing new to show for myself due to the head ache of the qld flood disaster and my move to melbourne, i shall instead show you 4 books which you should probably read in your lifetime. (:

goodbye blue monday.
i'm reading kurt vonnegut's breakfast of champions for those of you who missed out on the quote.
it's raining in brisbane, non-stop. i think i'm beginning to get a bad case of seasonal depression. in australia! what even?!
they say that today we are due for 300mm of water. that blows my mind.
in other news, i'm moving to melbourne in mid feb. well, i'm still to get my final conformation letter from RMIT but the apartment is booked, and road trip dates are confirmed. maybe the weather will be better down there. ha, who am i kidding?
anywho, this is warszawa, poland, 2 years ago.

i'm not going to say merry christmas because i feel it's been overdone.
this is a bit of a huge post for my best friend sam who spent christmas over in india (and anyone else who is interested in a polish/australian christmas). i don't think i've been so jealous of anyone. ever.
anyway sam, this is my christmas and these photos are for you to have some feel of a homely christmas. i think.
anyway enjoy!
