1991

the last few days: nottingham city (courtesy of archidose.blogspot.com); ithaca creek state school in a ridiculous hard hat and work boots; stirrup leggings in the spare bedroom.

1991 = my birth year, the name of a fantastic crystal castles song, and also, a palindrome. the last few days have been crazy. i'm still sick, highly strung and craving a warm shower and bed. however, the proud owner of a new macbook. absolutely fantastic. beautiful design...so slimline and classy. i cannot believe i ever doubted it. however, the operating system shits me a bit, but i am willing to pay the price of convenience for a bit of vanity.

paid a visit to ithaca creek state school today, the first building i ever helped design! busting to see the interiors - my handywork. crazy green and blue dotted carpet with blue, green, charcoal, white and cream joinery. so excited. i'll keep the photos for years to come - perhaps, mike munro will bring them up on 'this is your life'.

last night, i was going to venture to see hungry kids of hungary but never made it. ended up sitting in the valley for an hour or so drinking hot chocolate. the weather at the moment is way too cold to do anything but stay in bed. this labour day long weekend will be the laziest, most boring, but also the best.

hunting for witches

i'm sitting, on the roof of my house
with a shotgun, and a six pack of beers
the newscaster says the enemies' among us
as bombs explode on the 30 bus
kill your middle class indecision
now is not the time for liberal thought
/ bloc party

i would rather be hunting for witches right now. fortunately, i have digested quite a few nurofen plus's and feel quite a bit better. armed with a 5 day medical certificate, i think i'm ready to tackle these horrible assignments. i've had a sober weekend and it has indeed been a bit of a comfort to wake up refreshed, not tired/hungover/unsure of the previous nights' events haha.

apparently, the cause of my discomfort has something to do with what is commonly known as a 'tension headache' - am i tense? i didn't believe so. perhaps, it's all this running around, organising this, fixing that, planning the next hour/day/week/fortnight/month/six months?! i'm going to make a conscious attempt to slow down my life - less multi-tasking, more focus and less procrastinating.

i've also decided (i had a bit of a big fat thinking day today, you see) that i am thoroughly sick and tired of going out, fortitude valley, wasting money on drinks and not being able to talk to my friends because of the doof-doof. my garage would be the perfect venue for a house party - i'm working on it. perhaps a english themed going away party in late august?
