Monday's muse

Ok, so usually I would mention one hilarious or super smart, talented blogger/designer/funny person here but I think I'll talk about two people I am giggling over today. The first is Mark Wahlberg's character Terry Hoitz in the movie The Other Guys. The subtle humour is so clever, I think he should be in more comedy films. Is there nothing that this man can not do? It. Is. Just. So. Damn. Funny...

The second is quirky, adorable blogger Laura Kadner, I found her, where I find most of the funny and intellectual bloggers of today, at Hello Giggles. However you can also find her, her hilarious video blogs and words here, here and and here..

Hot Air

I'm up hot air ballooning 
I'm one decided honey 
I guess this sound is soothing
Oh boy I need your body

From sadness to erotic
I guess it's my ultimate plan
To see if it's inside you
Yes, boy I need your man

I turn from side to side
And I wonder when I'll get to sleep
I start to feel uncomfortable
You're a gift with no release

The floor is making patterns
Of where our bodies lay
Tomorrow's just an outline
Of how we spent today

Normally, it takes alot for music to resonate with me, but this song by Adalita, Magic Dirt's front woman is one of the most beautiful songs I have ever heard. Everything about this almost acoustic album is amazing. Check out her solo work here...

I have nothing nice to say, so I may as well become mute

You know the old saying if you have nothing nice to say then don't say anything at all. So today I may as well have become a mute, not spoken one word! I have had nothing but negative and insulting things come out of my mouth all day. I am aware of this but it is something that was out of my control. I am having negative thoughts flying around my head minute-by-minute, for absolutely no reason. Even the things I am saying that are suppose to even remotely more kind are coming out as uncouth sayings. 

Am I the only one?

So this is what happens to me on an almost daily basis... I sit down, with all of my books on my desk, my textbook, mac and all things study and oh, wait! Is that dust on my t.v? Can I see a coffee stain on my desk? I better get that off there. The seven foot pile of magazines in my cabinet aren't lined up correctly, I should fix that. Once I have said and done all of these things... I might open my window right up, it's such a lovely day. Lunch time! Back to study! Ok, the Fitzgerald Enquiry... Tony Fitzgerald lambasted the local media... 1989... I should get around to cleaning my windows, Actually, I'll do that right now! I do the outside of them too. So I sit back down and, I might vacuum my room, no, the house. While I am vacuuming, my sheets may as well be washing, I'll do that now! I have to work tomorrow so I may as well wash/blow-dry/straighten my hair now. Done, ok! Everything is clean. Study time, remembering I do want to be a journo one day... Oh my sheets are probably dry, I'll bring them in and make my bed! So fresh. What was I doing? That's right! I think I'll go for a walk and buy some dinner.. Something nice, I'll make A something lovely, I may as well drink some wine while I am cooking, 1 2 3 glasses later... This is pretty much how my days go when I try to study. Does this happen to you too?

And so were the days

I picked up a Vogue the other day at a newsagents and flicked straight to my favourite part of ANY magazine, the editors letter - 1, 3, 5, 6, 16 or so pages in past the Chanel, Givenchy, Dior, Balenciaga, Lois Vuitton and beyond ads there it was. I wonder if this international fashion bible has always been so... I am going to say it... DULL! By the time that I finally found the ed's letter I was bored out of my brain. I am interested to flick through some vintage Vogue's... To see the difference in story ideas, models, models figures and how much the worlds eye towards fashion has changed... The covers certainly are more naturally fantastic!

All in a fashion haze
