wild.

I'm normally one to dislike people that say 'I'm a winter person' or 'I can't stand winter, i LOVE summer!'. It seems silly to be angry with half of the year, for the rest of your life. Enjoy it all, embrace it all!

It's a grey, cold, rainy kind of day. And I just finished watching 'Black swan'. Insanely amazing film that had so many amazing parts. Too many to talk about here, but needless to say, I loved it. Even the weird bits, they added to it's amazingness. Aronofsky is a true genius.

I went to see a band called 'the crooked fiddle band' last night after getting a lil' bit stir crazy at home (I hadn't been given any shifts at work this weekend).
But anyways, I had a wild crazy time dancing like a maniac and not caring one bit what i looked like.

With the Katoomba mist billowing outside and the drinks flowing inside, it was indeed a joyous night.

This is them


I have been in love with the band 'city and colour' for quite a few years now and with their soon to be released album, I've been finding some amazing songs of theirs. This is just one which sums up the type of wintry mood I'm in.


Oh, and this song is also amazingly suited to this time of year.


I saw this very very eerily beautiful film called 'Van Diemen's land' about a year ago now. The image above is from the film and sums up beautifully the wilderness of winter.

Enjoy the last 2 days of autumn, because winter is well and truly upon us.

sunshine.

Wow. Haven't blogged in ages. Just been really super busy. Essays and presentations are piling up for uni, and my 'I'll do it later' mentality is starting to get out of hand. So... I'm getting back into a nice rhythm.

I've had a heap of small little adventures over the last few weeks. I had a performance art work that went incredibly successful last week and it's really ignited my passion for creating art works that are a experience rather than just putting something out there and letting it be.

I visited this store in glebe the other day and had a super time browsing the amazing invention's people have come up with in order to reduce, reuse and recycle.

I've also had a crazy boost of happiness. The weather has been beautiful and like the simple person i am, am incredibly influenced by the weather.

I've got some holidays coming up and I'm quite content in being relaxed and just spending some down time in the mountains. I'm planning on fixing up the backyard and making a small little veg garden. This has mainly stemmed from watching a great show called 'Costa's garden Odyssey'. The show focuses on converting dull spaces into great sustainable gardens. Over the summer i started enjoying being in the garden and made myself a shabby little area out the back of my door which i filled with some seeds and some other plants. It's going well but I'm wanting to make something more substantial. I really enjoyed the jamie oliver show 'Jamie at home' and the book that followed. It's one of my go-to books when I'm not sure what to cook and want some inspiration.



I found these really neat lil' things which am really interested in. The seedbom is a 'bomb' full of seeds which you just through and let the seeds breakdown into the soil and then..hey! a tree! Very cool stuff.

It's my birthday tomorrow and have been invited by a friend's parents to go to a wine tasting at the MCA followed by dinner at a Japanese restaurant. Will keep you posted!
Also, for my birthday next weekend me and some friends are going out to my Aunt's property to spend some relaxing down time by the fireplace. Theres a heap of bushland to explore and the glowing red cliffs capertee valley are a sight to behold come sunset. Will put photos and stories of the weekend when i get back. But this is a pic from the last trip there.



Anyways, best stop the procrastination and get back to actually doing some work.

Here's some songs

happy music is so much better.

I don't get why people like angry music. Calm music, chilled music i get. But angry music. Who wants to be angry? Happy music is so much better.

debatable.

im confused.
