A Tribe Called Quest - Check The Rhime

I'm sitting here learning the lyrics to Check The Rhime. Phife's part is easier than Q-Tip's.

I've been having the loveliest times lately, hence the lack of posts I suppose.

I've been eating lots of breakfasts. I went to my friend's looovely coast house for a day and it was relaxing and really nice. We had party this weekend to celebrate us signing our lease for another year in our apartment. It was a whole lot of fun. I'm doing a no-drinking thing for a month so I didn't drink but I did make at least 8 or 9 litres of punch and was told that it was delicious. And I had a really rad time. Made a great playlist if I say so myself. The party went until six in the mowning a'la Gin & Juice cause our friend Alex finished work in the city at 5 and we had to stay up to greet him. By that time, my friend was asleep in my bed, and in the lounge room was me, Lauren, Yasmin and two friends-of-a-friend and as soon as Alex arrived, we had a No Pants Party and played pantsless Uno. Good times!

Last night I caught up with some old old friends in the city and it was unexpectedly really really really fun. Pretty much didn't stop laughing for five hours. Hanging out with old friends who are in town for just a weekend always gives me a really nice refresher and makes me appreciate moving to Melbourne all over again.

I'm not working very much and need to get another job and save or something. I'm having lots of fun for now. I'm starting to bum out a little bit because all my girlfriends are preparing to go back to uni now and it reminds me how I'm not studying which still really SUCKS.

When I was on school holidays in primary school (nerd confession) when I was bored at home I would make a schedule for my whole day and set projects for myself and deadlines of homework and stuff that had to be ready at certain times of the day and have a special time for little lunch and big lunch and it was really fun. Maybe I'll do that this year. Maybe I'll set essays and assignments for myself. DISCIPLINE!

Stupid Dumb

Feeling like an angry vegetarian this night. Just watched Matt Preston make an ass of himself on Good News Week saying that he ate whale and then went on to say "Don't ever eat it, it was gross, and the guilt that comes with eating it..." And then within a matter of seconds went on to say how everyone should have 'pig' in their fridge and then explained how some stupid fuckin chef somewhere makes a great cut of pig's cheek dipped in sugar or some shit. Ohhhhh, get a clue Velvet Preston. You were so cool before this idiotic encounter. So ignorant and fucking lazy really; you would think someone of his status would be more informed in this particular area. I don't care if he eats organic; it still is an animal. Oh fools, fools!

Apart from this, I've had a really cool week.

Hey boyfriend! You should come over and watch movies with me tonight.

Oh that's right, my mistake, YOU DON'T EXIST!!!

Recently I have been fine thanks, readers. Been having coffee in new cafes and spending money I shouldn't, and dreaming about my bearded boyfriend who is my boyfriend but doesn't know it ;) And working from home writing articles for the internet.

Oh, I got into art school! Which is cool. But I can't go until 2012 because of money woes, which is crap. But I got a place, yeeee! In the mean time I'm going to do everything I can to make this year fly.

Are we gone? (Yeah) Come on yeah, we know we're gone.

Take all your reasons and take them away, to the middle of nowhere and on your way home

Throw from your window your record collection

They all run together and never make sense

But that's how we like it and that's all we want:

Something to cry for and something to hunt.

It's a little too late, too late, too late for this
Isn't it a little too late for this?

You know you had a permanent piece

Of my medium-sized American heart.

So don't wear your watch when you're out with the cunts

You can break what you have but the rest of it's mine.

Maties.

Have been having some good times and spending too much money lately.

Yesterday I had a fight with a vacuum cleaner, drank some tequila at our friend Mikael and Liam's house and lay on the concrete until 3 this morning listening to Dr Dre and Bon Iver.

Today I watched Misfits, fell asleep, got groceries, and went to watch the 7pm Project filmed with Joel and Ashley. And it's all been good; must stop spending money.

Today I affirmed my love for a heartily-bearded gingerman, bought a fuschia diary, bought a fuschia watch, ate a lot of cherries, drank a jug of cider, cuddled amazing friendlies, ran for a train and made it with seconds to spare, and loved on life.

I'm gonna go have a shower.

Yesterday afternoon, I made my own version of a Selby for our apartment and it was just too much fun. I still am yet to have it printed, because it's going to cost me a bomb, but it's going to be the largest zine I've made so far- 20 A4 pages. In colour. Oh lordy. It's called Number 23. And will be on lovely gloss matte paper. And will be available on my zine blog when I've put it all togeth! You can place orders there now though.

Today, I'm gonna go get a coffee from Monk Bodhi Dharma in Balaclava for two reasons: had my first good coffee of theirs yesterday, and spy on cute barista. Then I'm gonna go collect a roll of film I had developed from Snake Valley. And then maybe venture all the way up to Northcote to have a coffee with Zoe and go to At Large Gallery and then perchance will make my way out to Life Drawing tonight with Ashley 'cause I haven't been in arrrrges. Saving money is so way hard.
