Have been getting up to some fun stuff of late. Applied to art school the other day, went to a really rad life drawing class the other night. Watched hare krishnan people dance and yodel down swanston street. Yesterday Loz and I went to see lamington drive's new gallery in collingwood. They used to be in fitzroy in a teeny little studio and courtyard but have since gone commercial and moved to a really big warehouse in a pretty industrial area of collingwood. I didn't dig the location- pretty uninspiring. Sorta like fyshwick. But the space is wicked and I saw some of Kat mcleod's prints and was pretty rad seeingthem in real life after falling so madly in love with them on my computer screen a couple of years ago. We had lunch at vegie bar after that and have been trying to cure/nurture our new addiction to The Secret Life Of Us series. Though, it seems apparent that everyone else has also remembered the series as it is constantly out on hire at our video store. Last night we had some pints at Cherry bar early in the evening with Kody and it was awesome to see him. Then we went to see Washington live at the corner hotel and it was a really really really good show. I saw her open for Kate miller heidke last year and she was really good then, but this time she was just really grand. Then we came home and watched secret life of us. Heh heh.
Today I am working all the live long day and tomorrow as well. Tomorrow night I have my friend jess's birthday/grand final bash on at a joint unit house right near me abd on Sunday I am meeting up with jacqueline and elle in thr city to take them to ghost patrol before It closes and then we're having a picnic in the park!
I wonder if it coul get any better than this.

Last week was lauren's birthday. We all went to lentil as anything for dinner and they gave Lauren a cupcake and then we went and had red wine at the Vineyard and it was oodles of fun.
Then another night we went and saw the 7pm project filmed live with mikael and it was fun. I won a prize for answering trivia questions. In it was Claire Bowditch's new cd and a book and chocolates and movie passes woohoo. Then we had red wine on chapel street and it was awesuuuum. Then on saturdy night we went up to brunswick street for a cider with my friends Jacqui and Monique and it was real lovely.
Sunday was rad. I slept in real good. Then had a coffee at hopscotch. Then Lauren and I went into the city to these markets at 100£bend and they were really good. Lots of vintage clothes and cheeses and live music and shoes and badges and stuff and it was cool. That space is so good and I'm glad they're using it well. Then we went to ghostpatrol's show at no vacancy and it's probably my most favouote show I've seen at that gallery. He has set up the space really well. There was like a canopy teepee sort of thing in the middle of the room and there were pillows on the floor and inside that teepee is where most of his artwork was and it was RAD. Got talking to the guy who was manning the gallery and I asked how long it took ghostpatrol man to set it up and he said 'oh it only took him like Sunday night before it was done so we just sat in the teepee smoking joints, watching cartoons every night until thursdy when it opened' hehehehe.
Tomorrow I have physio for my wrist, then am applying for art school, then going to a life drawing class and perhaps seeing our pal be on a game show in between.
Weeeeeeeeeeeeee!

Enjoyed lots of lovely red with two amazing people tonight on chapel street after going to see the 7pm project filmed. How lucky am I?
Can't stop thinking about art school and how much i crave the studious life. On my mind ALL THE TIME
it's raining on and off tonight and I should sleep right now but it's so nice being awake and feeling like I have the night to myself without feeling lonely.
I wanna do art.

looking forward to going back to the gym
hearing eeeveryone complaining about the rain and wishing it would stop. It's nature people, work around it. Rain may be inconvenient for your hair plans, but we need it. So poo you.

Double chin

Spring Is Trying To Spring
Today is the first day of spring and it seems Catchy and I have successfully blogged our winter away, as we planned.
Today, however, did not appear to be a Spring day. It was mostly rainy and ever so grey in the sky, but Farnoush said that maybe the weather just needed to get it's last bout of cold and grey out of its system and then there would be some action from my friend The Sun. Oh how I miss him.
Despite the weather, I actually had a pretty good day. I found out I got a job at Ozmosis, which is a street/skate/surf shop in the city. Well, I think I got it... He said I'm through to the orientation and from there I can decide whether I want to work with them. Which I do. So yay. I am gonna get my summer all the way on.
I get my cast off tomorrow week! I'm so excited. I miss the gym and yoga sah much. Ok. Self indulgent blog: tick
