Summer Woes.
I’ve had a craving for a double-shot Caribou iced skim latte FOR WEEKS. I’m fairly certain that I could get something comparable here, but this craving is so specifically Caribou that I’m not sure I would get my fix.
Obligatory Post-New Years thoughts: On reflection, I would have to say that 2011 was one of my better years. Minus the brief period of time right after the Goon Serpents left (during which I was jobless and having Northern-Southern Hemisphere seasonal depression issues) and the fact that I’ve missed Ronnie an indescribable amount, I was very content. I met a lot of awesome friends from all...

“If you don’t know where you’re going, any road will take you there.”
One thing I can’t wait to indulge in when I get back to America: Black and white film. Seriously, it’s 12x as expensive here (not an exaggeration).
Oh, and a serious road trip during which I will use said film.
WatchI always pictured this as a summer song, but now I’m thinking that maybe it was because I got the album during the summer. I love this video - it almost makes me miss winter. And by winter I mean winter as a carefree child who didn’t have to face the terrors of driving over black ice and snow drifts, shovel snow/scrape the windshield, or pay the heating bill.
Things I wish were real Pt. 1:
Seriously, Mondays.
I really dislike getting to the bottom of a pump-bottle of lotion. It is. So. Frustrating.
Manic Mondays
Just because someone has two “likes” in common with me (which is not very difficult, as approximately 99% of people on the ‘book have the Beatles and Harry Potter listed on their profiles), DOES NOT MEAN THAT I WANT TO ADD THEM AS A FRIEND, FACEBOOK.
In other news, I went to see the Foo Fighers and Tenacious D last week and it was epic. I also had my graduate exhibition which...

”But what I didn’t want to have happen, and I made this clear to Jeremy, if I am able to go coach, I want to coach at one place, the University of Florida. It would be a travesty, it would be ridiculous to all of a sudden come back and get the feeling back, get the health back, feel good again and then all of a sudden go throw some other colors on my shirt and go coach. I don’t...
Australian Things That Would Revolutionize the...
1) Aussies realize that pennies are a completely useless form of currency, and therefore don’t have them. Also, bills here are different colors and sizes (aka it’s easier to do things like make change, find a note in your wallet, or be blind). The fact that the bills are plastic also makes me feel better about germs.
2) There is an unsaid rule that beets (yes, beets) belong on...
By the way, done with University (note: FOR THE REST OF MY LIFE).
Also, I will be experiencing approximately nine months of straight summer starting now.
I feel so free!!!!

Finally something that Congress can’t completely fuck up. We’ll see how this goes…
I really hate when I make a cup of tea and then get all distracted and forget about it and then look up and realize that it’s probably cold and then have to boil another kettle to make another cup and then do the same thing all over again. Yeah.
“Keep my feet on the ground and my head in the clouds.”
I just had a sudden realization that a significant amount of the recent travel photos that I’ve taken have been with my fisheye lens or other goony plastic cameras (i.e. panoramic, Holga, etc)….Maybe this is because I feel like landscapes can be lame and I don’t want to be one of those photographers, but I’m actually getting kind of annoyed with myself for doing it because...
You know you’re hitting your mid-twenties when you find yourself undeniably attracted to the dad characters in television and movies instead of the ripped 20 year olds that play the teen heartthrob characters.
Note: This won’t help with my ambition to be a cougar when I grow up.
In recent news, I’ve been avoiding writing essays, gettin’ my work on at the bakery (therefore, I am also eating too much free bread), and making art. Also, there was a crazy jump in temperature this week - it started off at a normal Spring 17º and blew all the way up to 33º today (my hair had some frizz issues, to say the least). But, YAY SUMMER!
Oh yeah, and I slept through my first...
Photos of Occupy Wall Street in NYC….so wish I was in America for this.
I have a firm belief that Sunday nights are meant for My So-Called Life, herbal tea, and hugger pillows.

Big Shakes
For what it’s worth, I get it. I get that it seems like Shakespeare is stuffy and appreciated only by the types of people that like to say things like “Good morrow!” and “Ah, but hast thou actually had candied shallots?” and then laugh with big teeth, or fodder for the next generic teen movie because Bill is the undisputed master of tapping into the psyche of your average fifteen-year-old...
RANT TIME
I’m just chillin’ here constantly refreshing my Gmail in hopes of receiving a support message from my domain host for my website…apparently something went wrong within my (and many others) c-panel. They sent out a mass email explaining what to fix, but fuck me if I know what they’re fucking talking about. Now my website looks like poop and I have no idea how to get it back...
So, since I acquired a job which involves training during my Uni break, I have decided to postpone the Outback and do a last minute Kangaroo Island adventure…I’m leaving tomorrow at 6:30am and will have a jam-packed couple of days before returning to Adelaide for work, which will start up next week.
Wooh!
