i've been really getting into Paul Kelly and at jono's request: a Cat Stevens cassette i found in my room. really enjoying both. they're really good to study to. Paul reminds me a teenie tinie bit of Crowded House for some reason.
i want to start listening to more Bob Dylan and some more stuff from the ~60s, but cant be arsed to download right now. i think i'm really just going to wait til next year and rely on the file-sharing network at whichever uni i end up at.

like so many other novel inventions - the internet, amphetamines, the atomic bomb - sunglasses were born of war. well..this is not entirely true. like the others, what really happened was they were invented for other purposes and then got their 'big break', as they say, because of their capacity to aid in combat. the internet helped share military intelligence (mostly on atomic bombs, ironically), amphetamines helped keep the soldiers awake, and the bomb, well, we all know how that story goes..

crackling static sounds overwhelm you. you're in a future world, a dark and crowded place, chasing a giant - or is it chasing you ? a cyber adventure, a sensory overload. this is a comic book experience you've never had before.

this week i'm really dreaming about Buderim again (or am i ?) - which means i would have to really soon-ly look into a residence of sorts if i went to USC. it's scary, i really want to be on college first year out..and at least for a year. but if i head out to Sippy Downs..i won't know one person.
but, i think also that that fear is kind of exciting. i could be aaanyone - not that i plan to change so much, well not consciously, but imagine. fresh.
i really feel like going op-shopping and this crave ALWAYS sets in on a sunday. i haven't been in..probably 4-5 months, if not more. feels like really really ages, but i just haven't been feeling in the mood for it for a long time, and a lot has been going on that has either restricted me time/money-wise.
i'm a bit dollar-less right now, and i went into Portmans the other day, only to find about $1500 worth of things that i didn't like but really LOVED. rare.
like, i'm really wanting just a plain pair of small-framed black sunglasses. they're so flexible; black would be so much more multi-purpose than the patterned/transparent pairs i sport now.
i really want a pair or five of black (i think ?, well at this stage) pleated/non-pleated pants that can be/are cropped just above the ankle. they fit so loosely but snugly in the pictures that i've been hounding for months. porties had a pair just like that, i think. but right now i CANNOT afford 100+ for anything like that :(..so cue: endos/lizline.
a little like these, but with cuffs at the bottom..
or some identical to this pair would surely not go astray at all.
unfortunately, though, i dont know if they would look ok with out heels..and if they look shabbitha without some elevation - than they would go to waste in my lifestyle.
there were a thou little black dresses - not excruiatingly short (from what i could tell, i didnt try anything on because i dont plan on having to sew my tear ducts shut any time soon) and all with just the right amnt of embellishment - like a single ruffled sleeve, or some puffed action on either side or or or just what i want in life right now.
there was lots of pastels and sheer, which i thought i would be sick of right now..but nope.
lots of (fake - i did the scratch test, hehe) pearls in just the right, minimalistic quantities.
blazers that weren't too structured/square; and made out of soft fabrics that i can only imagine would sit nice and a little loosely, but still formally
but ohh it was just everything in abundance that i've been trying to find for a lot of months. bug-ah.
so therefore i want to find a great deal of these finds in a thrift outlet-o in this town quiiite remarkably soon. perhaps before the art exhibition's -grand- opening thursday night ?
i guess i could sew all of the above - with all the skill/time/dollars i have.
and and and im really enjoying cropped/cuffed shorts - i guess a liiitle bit like the bottom-haff of this get-up (but not really at all) - teamed with patent nude heels. yummo.
(neither of which i own ? - better get to it.) ive been actually finding a whole heap of patent nude heels in mackay in the last week or two - like in 2-3 shops, which has really excited/surprised me. i've been searching for a pair for at least a year now, since i first saw a picture in one of the cheesie magazines at work featuring vickbeck and katie holmes shoe shopping, and one of them i think was either wearing a pair or trying them on.
many of the pairs that i have recently come across have been well over the budget, but whatever. im worried they'll get really scuffed if i do invest in a pair for formal/grad etc (im going to be well and truly shoe-pooling), like my mocktail pair did..but maybe if im extra-careful, i'll get by relatively unscathed ?
i'm also on the semi-search for something a bit obnoxious in size but also pretty feminine and formal for Prom to whack in my hair. all ive found are flowers and im not too sure, i feel like theyve been done so much before - but i guess it would be a safe option. any ideas ?
