st. jeromes.

yes i'm slowly making my way through the archives, and yes we're still in february.

i, with an old friend and a sturdy pair of gumboots went off to Laneway festival. i couldn't let my newfound penny-failing-saving ways get the better of me. could i!?

Beach House. Stornoway. Two Door Cinema Club. Foals. 

Jenny and Johnny. Yeasayer. and a glimpse of Warpaint.

{Beach house with Stornoway on the sidelines}

it was well worth all the bruises and dehydration if i do say so myself.

feb-ru-ary in pictures.

milk bottles and cardboard targets beware, i learnt how to shoot a gun. 

there's no better time like the beginning of february to talk about january and no time like insomniac-o'clock to whip up some banana pancakes {last night's venture} or in this case update the blog.

januaaary!

1. Convention-ed it up in Sydney with new friends and old.

{stalk more photo's at the lovely wongblog here}

2. Got my ranga on with a wig and a birthday, and incidentally became one myself. horrible-horrrible story concerning bleach and a dodgy d.i.y dye kit but no hair has fallen out so hooray to that!

3. Celebrated pa's birthday and australia's big day all in one.

....he totally wants me.

i will freely admit i am a grinch. nothing personal against Christmas. birthdays and the festive season are generally not my thing either. could be due to my ever-running stint in the customer service biz, that people's inner crazy always seems to come out at family events or that my mother insists we listen to babyface's Christmas album circa 1998

EVERY. SINGLE. YEAR

however this holiday season, i am trying to make an exception. mariah carey has been played more than once, christmas carols have been sung at church, fairy lights admired and sugar cookies are currently being baked.

all i need now is a bad reindeer sweater and the cycle is complete.

ps. seems Beach House are making an exception too.

just to save time and because i find it increasingly difficult to form proper sentences {really should've listened to the olds when they warned me of facebook and the dangers of being part of a 'text generation'} let me break down my last bit of october and novemeber in dot points.

• i cut all my hair off. see the embarrassing and poor quality webpic that got emailed 'round to my friends and family below.

• tagged along with friends and caught Ingrid Michaelson. She is incredible live.
  
  
  
  
  
• said hello to the queensland sun after days of miserable weather down here.

and there you have it, november.

hi july.

july has arrived. six months into 2010 and i can't catch my breath. time is whizzing past.

{ffffound}

hi rye.

i love camping!
and i also have a newfound appreciation for aloe vera and its ability to relieve sunburn now.

good times.

{i don't know why the image is so grainy but here's me and vikche livin' it up on the pier}

for your information.

i've gone a-camping with Stephanie, Vesna and Viktoria.

Be back in a few!

google, we are no longer pals

Confession: i suck at christmas shopping.

birthday presents, i'm a total pro
it would seem december and me just aren't

the best of friends right now
and my gift buying is suffering for it.
I even googled 'christmas presents for mum' and did they deliver? No.

Back to the drawing board i go...
