tuesday goodness.

i waaaaant a dog.

road trip wednesday.

with that fantastic lad. it's been too long since the last one, and i can't wait!

let the caravan free.

kingswood country

"When I was a kid, our family car was a 1974 Kingswood station wagon - vinyl bench seats, an AM radio with cassette deck, that by 1980 required tweezers to eject the cassette, and of course what every family car needs: front, rear and side ashtrays. Our car was dark brown both inside and out. If you ever spent any time in a Kingswood you will know that the temperatures could reach apocalyptic proportions; you had to peel yourself out of the car like a fried egg on any day the temperature reached 25 degrees..."

This would probably put a huuuge number of people off such a car, but it just increases my love for them, and increases my want for one, or any old holden! ...anyone?!

images of inspiration: pulp art.

i'm speechless.

absolutely beautiful. thank you neil krug.

images of inspiration: little pretties.

images of inspiration: bruce mozertom

underwater photography by bruce mozertom, 1938.

at long last.

one more week of hell, then i'm freeee!

little mittens.

if you haven't popped out and grabbed a copy of both the beautiful girl's and tame impala's new albums yet, do so.

and i can't wait to get my mitts on the new black keys album.

lazy jane, you're cute.

what once was, is now gone.

this morning i saw a lovely old house getting ripped to pieces by a big ugly piece of machinery, and all probably for some rich little snob who doesn't care for history, or all things nice. that's probably what started my bad day. i felt so sorry for it, not that houses have feelings, but for all the memories of the people who once lived there, and i just don't understand why.

i'm over the city.

humphh.

life is too important to be taken seriously.

most definitely. after having the most horrible morning at uni, full of wanker tutors and dick heads - who, may i add, aren't friendly, or nice, or helpful, or informative, or human, or approachable, but are just plain awful - i came across this quote, plastered across a wall, and it really hit me, i quite fancy it, and completely agree with it... and it made me smile, along with hearing from that long lost lad of mine! so after a shiiiiit morning, seeing that quote, hearing from that lad and coming home to snuggle with a blanket and watch beatrix potter, i guess my day's turned around a bit, and hey, if i want to have a break from uni this afternoon, i will, because life's too important to be taken seriously :)

so here's a little bit of happiness and prettiness.

ah.

stresssssful day. here's what i say to you, project for 2d animation.

but on a happier note, if there's a song (well there's many) but this one always puts a smile on my face :)

gratitude.

some, they keep living with no gratitude

too busy straightening their three piece suit

count all the money in a mixing pot

don't see, the more you've got, the more you want

and you will never ever have the lot, no.

bliss.

an amazing album. thank you beautiful girls, for creating what you once did, again, but even more amazing than before.

sick of looking at the screen.

i want to use this photoshop.

some more images for inspiration i came across today: old business cards.

oh, i just want to run away and surround myself with the loveliness around when business cards such as these were floating around the streets.

but then again, my name was popular back then! ha.
