Im having a very james mercer kind of day.
I set up a playlist with all of my shins albums, flake music albums, and broken bells.
I’m hoping that it will calm me down as I’m having a doctor who ‘I have a face that no one listens to’, ‘first rule; don’t wander off – why does everyone wander off’, kinda day.
Why don’t people listen to me, I know I like the sound of my own voice but I don’t just say things for the sake of them. I particularly don’t like wasting time just because someone hasn’t followed a clear instruction. I prefer to waste my own time however I choose.
Anyways james mercer, he is a legend.
He can write songs so beautifully.
He’s almost distracting me from Monday and a dismal cricket test.
Hey, wait, this time it’s not too late
To stop this ship from sinking
Don’t , go, so much you didn’t know,
It’s never what you’re thinking
This is from their Imago album which was released in 2006 – so it’s had a few years to get up the play count. Plus its just an absolutely awesome song.
It starts off so subtly, and all you can hear the pain and longing, until it builds and becomes a cry.
Words cannot describe my feelings towards this song. Continue reading 12. The Butterfly Effect – Aisles of White (141)
so into tonights dinner went
– butter beans
– tinned tuna
– wooshter sauce
– lots of parsley
– lots of coriander
– chopped celery
– milk & cornflour for the sauce
added that to mini penne – and a slice of garlic bread
really really good (and interesting) take on tuna bake.
delish
and best enjoyed on a stable table
now i’m off to watch sherlock
well it’s less than a month till southbound now (awesome camping festival down south) and i’m getting my wardrobe organised.
went shopping today and found the most perfect bag! it’s this really awesome print and it just the right size for me to hold everything i need to but not need to be checked every single time i go in or out an entrance.
i also found two pairs of shorts, a duffle bag, and some much needed new underwear.
so this is outfit number 1. its new denim shorts with a really awesome rose belt, my favourite black minkpink shirt, a black headband with a bow on it, and a wickid pink leather bracelet. and of course the new bag…
what do you think?
And it was good. All of it.
Gossip girl season opener, it answered a few questions from last season’s finale, posed a few new ones, and dropped a couple of very blatant clues as to where this season is going. It’s nice to have that hour where you can completely zone out and watch other people’s lives. And it doesn’t annoy me as much as glee or secret life of the American teenage or any other similar American trash. (by the way I am using trash in an affectionate way).
I have always been a blair and chuck shipper. I always liked them more than dan and serena, or serena and nate, or jenny and nate. I always loved jenny as my favourite character though. I really do see her as a girl who makes a lot of ordinary mistakes and is trying to figure out who she is, which I relate to. Plus I really love her style.
I also finished watching the portrait of dorian grey, which I started watching on Saturday before I had to go out. Its definitely an interesting concept for a movie, but I think I’ll have to watch it again before I can make any sort of critique on it. And I think it’s the type of movie that deserves a proper critique. I’ll have to channel my uni days of textual analysis.
Maybe tonight there’ll be nothing on tele so I’ll have to clean up and put up my Christmas tree. Just maybe.
