hoodie love.

My sweet friends Caitlin & Ashleigh presented this {amazing} Ben Stiller Hoodie to me today.

Why!?

Well long ago we decided that as fellow brace-wearing buddies we would form a club and Ben Stiller would of course be our mascot. I know what you're thinking, these are some cooler than cool people we're talking about here. Trust me, we know.

Now, they're not finished yet but i thought i'd give you all a little taste of what's coming up.

I mentioned how sweet these two are already right? thanks again ladies!

woe is me.

Hear that? oh that was just my heart breaking. over here. on the opposite end of the world.

boredom leads to rambling.

it's a bad sign when Liz Lemon and her night cheese are having more fun than you are on a friday night.

Yes?

ps. i love 30 rock and may or may not be youtubing clips. there is a high possibility a slanket is involved also.

hello insomnia!

so far i've:

• facebooked
• watched 'the shining', awesome movie to watch before bedtime yes? wrong. thus...
• 'late night with jimmy fallon' soon followed
• ate my sister's amazing chocolate/wheat/not quite sure what's in it, slice.
• fast-forwarded to the end of said movie.
• somehow found myself here.

fun facts at 2am. heck yes!

ch-ch-changes

so i decided, after googling {i think i have a slight obsession} haircuts galore and much

deliberation i settled on one, took the plunge, and visited the hairdresser.

and this was the result:
please excuse the lame internet pic, i was trying to email it to a friend who's interstate.

considering i went from this i was a little bit shocked but i'm getting used to it now. kinda?

i promise you i'm normal.

my brain is telling me to be productive but somehow

i find myself listening to simon & garfunkle and googling the night away

more specifically googling baby pandas. oh yes.
creepy or cute? i'd go with the latter...

how many times can you say the word 'cute' before it becomes redundant?

hooray for 2010!

happy new years internet folk!


{hello kitty-ing it up for new years eve}

upular?

No explanation necessary. Love this.

nytimes does cheesy too.

Now, i know we are no where near fathers day but i was browsing the nytimes archives today and found this piece on fathers and it was so cute and fun i had to blog about it

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Op-Ed editors asked eight artists for portraits of their fathers along with a talent they haven't but their fathers have acquired.

Chip Kidd - as an engineer, he can juryrig anything

.

Harrison Haynes - He can sing and play the drums at the same time.

i loved them so of course i had to do my own, thanks to my snazzy iphone paint app and my oh so obvious skill on tiny screens so came this masterpiece on the left. haa.

Kamaia: He can tie every knot in the book and is the first to have a first aid kit on hand, he carries one with him. all the time. not kidding.

Confession: i suck at christmas shopping.

I even googled 'christmas presents for mum' and did they deliver? No.

Back to the drawing board i go...

current favourites.

I won't lie, I had alot of time to waste before work tonight and as a result along came this little ol' playlist

Down below are some of my -as the title of the post says- current favourites but I saw a theme coming on, stuck with it and added some oldies.
Happy Listening!

Things to remember

1. Everyone feels like everyone else, just not at the same time.
2. People are unpredictable.
3. Letting go is better than maintaining control.
4. Absolutely nothing good can come out of overthinking things.

I have another title for this list, 'things I need to do' don't know how number 1 & 2 would factor under it but I am defintely an over-thinker. Bad.

Lisa Mitchell is really doing it for me lately...
I also have a sudden urge to purchase red gumboots, just me?
