The worst part is over now, get back on that horse and ride

The title is no reference to anything tonight, friends. Just listenin' to The Shins is all.

Ahh. I have done a couple of shifts in 1000 Pound Bend Gallery over the past few days. It's been nice surrounding myself in local art and 'needing' to be up to date on the happy haps of the exhibition scene in Melbourne. Today after my shift, Lauren and I went to a pop up cafe by Broadsheet. Broadsheet is a Melbourne zine of sorts, I'm not sure how often it's published, but it's basically a 'what's going on in Melbourne re food, coffee, art, shopping' and it's a good read always. Like a little newspaper but with exciting stuff. So they had a pop up cafe in the city as part of Melbourne Food And Wine Festival and it was virtually a collaboration of Melbourne's best coffee blends. It was open for 14 days (today was the second last day-lucky) and each day they would have a different blend, like Seven Seeds or Proud Mary, Dead Man's Espresso etc. Today was Market Lane. Market Lane is a famous coffee shop at Prahran Market off Chapel Street and they roast their own coffee and junk. And it was a delicious coffee. And a rad set up. We took a photo of each of us on Lauren's disposable to use up the last couple of shots.

There is so much on. I think that this Thursday I'm going to go to see City of Paranoia at the Croft Institute. City of Paranoia is a film about London street art and the Croft Institute is a bar down an alleyway off Little Bourke Street in the city and it's themed like a high school science lab. I've been meaning to venture there since I moved to Melbourne but haven't yet. I think this may be my chance, folks.

Tonight I ate lots of red grapes.

I bought a couple of pullovers tonight for $9 each- a marle grey one and a lilac one and I'm going to screenprint on them tomorrow night, but I'm not sure what quite yet. I'm thinking

"DO

WHAT

YOU

WANT"

Or an homage to one of my all time favourite RnB songs of the '90s, No Diggity by Blackstreet:

[front] no diggity

I'm wearing the grey jumper now and it is getting me so, so psyched for winter. I know I will definitely complain about it being so cold once winter actually hits, but I really quite enjoy dressing for winter. And also I like soup.
