'Rhiaan In Sand' by Ben

Tuesday.

Lately I've been listening to some music from these guys...

Yuck

Masquer

Chad VanGaalen

Yellow Dogs

Grass House

& pretty exciting to see that in one of my regular magazine buys 'Dazed & Confused', The Middle East got a tiny plug for "Sydney To Newcastle" & did I mention it's a UK mag, golly gosh!

Thursday.

Z-BOYZZZZ.

Bike wine rack?!

Cool specs.

Wouldn't like to try & find the right meditation in an emergency...

Whiskey stones - rather using ice that melts & ruins your drink, use these cubes cut from soapstone, yeeeeaahh.

Detox Fail

Haahaah - first & only update on my detox...

I have quit.

Last night I had a migraine/huge headache/sick/gross/eww, I think I'll just try harder to exercise instead.

Shift

So tonight I'm starting a detox.

I got all these herbs mixed for me for a detox tea which I have twice a day & obviously need to cut out all processed foods, coffee, meat, etc...

The lady said I should notice a change straight away & I'll start getting headaches & sore muscles, pretty much like I've got the flu, but it should get better... Should haha.

I can't take panadol for the headaches but should drink heaps of juice instead - high in vitamin c to be exact, & that should help to not feel so crappy.

I'm going to do a rough track on this thing to see how I feel day to day - it's only a 10 day detox, but hopefully I notice a good change.

:)

The Man...

One of best friends, Josh aka Rallings, rang me tonight from Melbourne. We haven't seen in other in some time & I'm super slack at returning his calls. So as he missed me this morning, he took it upon himself to call me back tonight so we'd actually get to talk.

We had a great old chat about anything & everything & he read me a book by his step sister in law (I think that would be the correct title, these things confuse me) called 'THE MAN, THE WELL. (AND HOW HE FELL)'... I thoroughly enjoyed it. I especially enjoyed it because Rallings was reading it pretty shitty & kept stuffing up words & wasn't pronouncing easy words correctly, it was a right laugh & he pardoned himself with this sentence...

"Sorry, I've been drinking wine."

That's all this entry is about. Had to hear it for it to be any funny I suppose. But it was great, in all his seriousness with really trying hard to read to me, pardoned himself with that piece of brilliance.

I must admit, I am a sucker for Judd Apatow flicks.

For several weeks now I haven't been able to stop reciting 'Step Brothers' quotes & it's kinda getting on my nerves because I sound like such a dick.

I think my peak was the other weekend when Ben & I went to Mackay. We hopped into bed & settled in & I didn't even realise I was talking out loud, but I was reciting the part when Dale & Brennan are in bed whispering to each other...

Dale Doback: [whispering] "Hey, you awake?"

Brennan Huff: [also whispering] "Yeah."

Dale Doback: "I just want you to know I hate you. And so does my dad."

Brennan Huff: "Well that's fine. Cause guess what? I hate you too. And this house sucks ass."

Dale Doback: "Well the only reason you're living here, is because me and my dad decided that your mom was really hot, and maybe we should just both bang her, and we'll put up with the retard in the meantime."

Brennan Huff: "Who's the retard?"

Dale Doback: "You."

Brennan Huff: [raising his voice] "Hey ya'll don't say that!"

Dale Doback: "Shut up! You'll wake up my dad and get me grounded."

Brennan Huff: "Just shut up!"

Dale Doback: "You and your mom are hilbillies. This is a house of learned doctors."

Brennan Huff: "You're not a doctor... you're a big, fat, curly-headed fuck!"

Dale Doback: [Dale turns his face to Brennan] "Oh yeah?"

Brennan Huff: [Brennan turns his face to Dale] "Yeah."

Dale Doback: "I'm a curly-headed fuck?"

Brennan Huff: "Yeah. You better not go to sleep, cause as soon as your eyes shut I'm gonna punch you square in the face."

Dale Doback: "I hope you stay still when you sleep, cause I'm gonna put a rat trap between your legs."

Brennan Huff: "I'm going to take a pillowcase, and fill it full of bars of soap, and beat the shit out of you."

[Dale turns away from Brennan]

Dale Doback: "I want you out of my fucking house!"

Ben started laughing & told me to stop & start again so he could say Dale's lines hahaa so that was pretty fun & not to boast, but we're getting pretty good at it... Such dicks, I know :)

Keep Calm & Carry On II

Not that it's important or anything BUT I've moved all the frames again & have settled on this...

& my treasured Tame Impala one is on another wall, I have not gotten rid of it.

Keep Calm & Carry On

Well this is a little bit intimate isn't it, but this is my 'frame wall' & it's coming along nicely.

This is just some nice clouds we saw today :)

This is also a photo of the nice clouds, though the camera focused right on my unfortunate windscreen crack.

❤

I'm with the most amazing guy.

Oh Crack!

In my 'To Do List' I have crossed off "Get my windscreen fixed", it wasn't actually meant to be crossed off until today but I couldn't get rid of the strike-out font... SO today Windscreens O'Brien came around to fix it & the guy said, "Oh you know, there's a very slight chance the chip could run into a crack after we apply this serum, but ahh mate VERY slight chance, it'll be right."

WELL just my luck it is now a great crack & they have to replace my windscreen. The guy was so disappointed he had tears welling, not even kidding, he felt terrible, I laughed but on the inside I was actually a little pissed. Luckily my insurance covers everything because he said for my windscreen it'd cost over $500 to replace it which I'd be totally pissed in paying because it would have been their fault... If it was mine I'd be cool paying it haha

"All of a sudden I miss everyone"

I also found a pretty incredible sounding band Called Moon Duo who has Ripley Johnson (amazing name, I know!) from Wooden Shjips - on my oldschool Myspace I have 'Clouds Over Earthquake' by Wooden Shjips playing.

Have a listen here

They asked us to stay for tea & have some fun...

I can't even remember what year these were taken but I'll never forget that night...

To Do List Revised...

1. Get a job - Not that I want one, but I'm finding that I have way to much time to think & I'm dreaming of every single little thing that happens in my day.

2. Lose 10 kg's - Don't know how as I lack motivation, but I must do it!

3. Get a candle holder big enough for all my candles to melt into one.

4. Fix my windscreen :)

5. Find a place for my sweet 'Abbey Road' frame to hang.

6. Buy a lot of fresh fruit - "I like to have a lot of fresh fruit around & chocolate chips in my pancakes. Write it down so you don't forget."

7. Eat less Subway.

8. Wake up earlier.

9. Change car insurance company's - WELL DONE & SAVING $300

10. Send my dog-chewed Xbox cable off to get replaced.

Stuff I Want...

The above look like they belong to a Pied Piper.

I think I may have already posted these, but they're really cool. I tried hard to get myself a pair in Brisbane but they had all sold out of my size.

Same as the above, but red goes faster.

Exquisite.
