Radar Detector (Xaphoon Jones Remix) – Darwin Deez

This week was actually fun AND productive. The days that I stayed at home, I cleaned out my draws in my room, my wardrobe… just threw out SO MUCH junk. Even re-did my pinboard. Saved a bunch of stuff for shits & giggles for when I’m older, but hopefully things’ll be more organised now.

When I was out, it was pretty ace. Wednesday night I saw The Tourist with Victoria; we chilled out in the mall a bit, catching up and stuff. It was lovely. Thursday, met up with Stacey, Maddie, Stella and Rhiana (Stacey’s cousin) & saw Burlesque (review when I can be bothered), then chilled back at hers watching crappy MTV & talking supernatural shit with Grant. Sunday – and this is why this blog is coming a day late – I went into the city with Naomi. Chilled out a bit, watched a beautiful band busk; they’re called Set Sail & you can see their FB here – they’re worth it, seriously. Anyway, went back to hers, met up with her friends (Anna, Daniel, Victor & Luke), played board games, chilled in parks, etc etc. Naomi, Victor & I pulled an all nighter, which naturally lead to us drawing ridiculous make-up on Victor. Poor boy, poor poor boy.

But yes, as you can tell I’ve collected a bunch of belongings this week too; i-D, some bracelets, some lipstick & these Chanel rip sunglasses which I love and feel about 10 years older in. So yeah, good week. Only 1 more week until school starts, and 2 weeks before Dillan returns. Should be good.

Silvia 2 Ibiza (Myndset Mashup) – SHM vs. Miike Snow

Over this past week I’ve tried so hard not to stress but it seems impossible. Today has been entirely devoted to doing Visual Arts coursework and seriously, its such a bitch. I’m one of the lucky ones who managed to do some progressively, so I feel so so so sorry for those who left it all to this weekend.

On Thursday my geography class went on a school trip the the Blue Mountains. It was beyond fun; our tour guide Darren was ever so charming, our class works so well, we got to do a lot of really awesome things (ride the steepest vertical rail way in the world – which I will admit freaked me to hell) and eat some pretty nice food and it was just a really good day.

Other weekly highlights include seeing Due Date (there isn’t a world in which Robert Downey Jnr is unattractive), Loretta’s birthday on Monday, Jeremy’s (my brother) birthday on Thursday andddd… yeah really, that’s it.

Also, any Australians tried the new V Iced Coffee? I don’t know if I like it or not… seems not strong enough.

But anyway, this coming week will be hell. Study study study and my birthday… 17, the year of telling the truth (according to Maxxie (Skins)). Yeah dreading my birthday already. FUN ! haha

O’Children – Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds [Harry Potter & the Deathly Hallows Pt1 Soundtrack]

Yeah, if anyone knows me they know that Harry Potter has consumed my week. I had to wait until Saturday to see it, but it was worth the 2 day wait. Its so hard to express my feelings toward this film, but I reviewed it here. So that’s where I stand. I remember during the previews I was like, ‘No, I don’t want to see this’ – and to be honest I didn’t – I don’t want Harry Potter to end.

But anyway, before I get all sentimental. The week has been a mix of study for English, working on Art, and being hyped for Potter. I also even managed to type up reviews of all the films I’ve missed at school but naturally I didn’t save it to my USB so as soon as I can get that file, I’ll put them online. I ought to work more on those reviews because I watch a lot of films, but we’ll see. Maybe over the summer.

Other than that, my brother’s birthday this week, and mine the week after. Heaps of things have happened with the family lately – I guess you could say they’re good things despite my personal view – but I’m not going to go into too much detail too early. Basically all I can say is that everything’s going to change.

Also my finger is bending weird again. Jesus.

Also also, my laptop Spike exploded. I might have to bury him. He was always my favourite laptop. Thank god I have my other PC Tyler, though.

Stolen – Dashboard Confessional

The past week has been so crazy. ASOS things that I ordered a month ago [finally] arrived (they’re so lovely; black maxi skirt, sweatshirt dress, grey jersey maxi dress, grey t-shirt & waist belt), received my school report which was (mostly) really good, had a lot of drama but the week’s over, I guess. Saturday I saw Wild Target with Dillan (I really enjoyed it, mainly because Rupert really does stand out as an actor in this film, but I guess I’ll review it soon), then bought Harry Potter Film Wizardry as part of my birthday gift (next month) which is actually amazing. I’ve been doing heaps of course work today, mainly on Aboriginal Art which could be more interesting, but what can you do? From now on there isn’t a week where I don’t have an assessment task until the end of the school year (17th December… so far away!) which is rather scary but that’s what you get for the last year of high school.

Ah well, at least Deathly Hallows is out this week! It really feels sudden in comparison to the massive wait for Half Blood Prince but BOY am I excited. Re-reading the book, too. Good move on my part. Can’t wait!

This is Halloween. This is Halloween.

Its rather unfortunate that Halloween fell on a Sunday. I mean, you can still celebrate (we just had trick or treaters come to our door) but you couldn’t have any good party because, well, school. But whatever. Halloween was never big here anyway.

My past week has been busy. Kind of. My brother had been on school camp so it was rather quiet at home, rare believe me. But anyway, Monday afternoon, hung out with Dillan, simmered in my no-working. Y’know I haven’t had t work all week? Its kind of grand. But yeah, Tuesday chilled home. Wednesday with Dillan again, Thursday I went to the hairdressers (just got more of what I currently have, so I basically just look even more ginger) – and the brother came home. And then Friday I did a whole bunch of Art coursework (my VAPD is actually beautiful; the research I’ve done in there), which is kind of lame for a Friday night but it sure beat going to a graveyard piss-up like a bunch of people I’m not really friends with did.

Saturday was pretty interesting. It started my normal kind of Saturday – movie with Dillan. We saw Red which was actually really enjoyable (I’ll review it when I can be bothered hahah sorry) & had Easy Way and general relaxing city times. Checked out the new massive shopping mall in the city centre – its gigantic & so high-street its kind of bizarre. I mean, there will be a Miu Miu store. And I nearly had a heart attack seeing the Versace Fall Campaign on on display. Weird things to see in Australia.

But yeah, we left the city & went back to mine for a bit, then we went to my friend Stacey’s for I suppose a Halloween party thing. Not quite because there were only about 15 people there, so just a small gathering. It was nice; Maddie, Stella, Loretta, Jake, Fletcher, Grant and Jarryd were all there (aswell as Dillan & I), and a bunch of people I do not know, though I didn’t spend any time with them anyway. It was nice, watched a bit of Rugby, cooked vegan pasta, general relaxness. I hardly get to hang out with people and Dillan so it was nice that this worked. Maddie (who’s dating Jake) and I have decided our boyfriends need to be mates, so this is brilliant.

But yeah, today was basically slept sleeping & doing more Art coursework, and yeah. Kind of boring and miserable but I guess this is the day when the dead rise or whatever the legend is, so. I still don’t have any clue what I’m going to do for my birthday but you guys are probably right, I should do something. All I know is that I have a lot of assessments that week aswell, which is QUITE annoying. So we’ll see. Summer is soon; I’ve decided I’ll go down for a week to see Jess, which will be lovely (especially as Dillan will go overseas for basically all summer, which’ll leave me bored and moody). I’m just so over everything right now BLAH.
