I’ve been bad

But my birthday is on Sunday so that’s how I’m justifying it…

Wow…

So it’s been a month… A month!! What have I been up to in that time you ask? Well, not much really. I got a new job (Woo!!), been studying and doing assignments, going out to gigs, and generally just living my life. Right now I am in the process of deciding whether I really do want to jump on the bandwagon and buy myself an iPad or if I should just buy myself a new netbook instead.
Also it seems that there are many, MANY things coming up in the next few months… I’m starting to look into apprenticeships, my birthday is only a few weeks away, it’s winter and the snow has finally begun to fall which means that mid-July we’ll be taking off to the slopes for a week or so, and then, towards the end of August, that great convention we know as MANIFEST is on again.
If you are going to be in Melbourne over the weekend of the 20th to 22nd of August, then you should come on down to the Melbourne Showgrounds in Flemington and hang out with us. There will be anime screenings, panels, an auction, hell, we even have a cosplay competition (which is fabulous fun by the way, I’m almost tempted to make my own costume and enter!!).
Even if you’re not an anime fan, it’s a great weekend. We have a fabulous traders hall selling all kinds of goods, and you’ll meet so many fun, weird people.

So, what are you up to this weekend?

If you’re going to be in Melbourne and you are in any way interested in or curious about anime and manga, then you should swing on by Monash University’s Caulfield Campus to check out Minifest and Doujicon. It’ll be fun! And there may even be some sort of musical closing act… Come check it out!

Minifest

Doujicon

I appear to have an addiction…

… an addiction to online window shopping… especially when it’s pretty and impractical… oh well…

Lolita…

Of the elegant and gothic variety…








Pretty!!!

What are you guys up to on Friday night?

If you’re going to be in Melbourne then I suggest you make your way over to the Ding Dong Lounge in Chinatown where a band by the name of Faeble will be playing. They’ll be supporting the Tim McMillan Band, and it promises to be a rockin’ night. You should totally come!!!

It’s not my fault, I swear!!

I blame The Clothes Horse. Though I suppose that I really can’t blame anyone else for my weakness when it comes to online shopping… At least I haven’t spent a ridiculous amount of money… Yet…

Anyway, thanks to Rebecca of The Clothes Horse, I have found yet another webstore for me to spend all of my hard-earned money on… Sophistix…

Thanks again Clothes Horse!!

Needing motivation and inspiration…

Having a really hard time getting motivated to do just about anything at the moment, apart from reading cook books, books written by chefs, or watching anime and playing Final Fantasy… It’s all just a little bit too hard right now, and I know I should be applying myself, and working hard, or at least putting some effort in, but I really just can’t find anything to give me that push right now…

The Clothes Horse and ThreadSence

I’ve been following Rebecca of The Clothes Horse for over a year now, and thanks to her have found many other great fashion bloggers as well as some great online stores.

Speaking of which, in her most recent blogpost she brought to my attention a fabulous sale at ThreadSence
Until March 14, they are offering 25% off with the codeword “CHILL”, but if you miss out on that, you can still get 10% off with the codeword “CLOTHESHORSE” until the end of March.

Enjoy!

Grey…

I am feeling very “grey” right now… Probably something to do with the (way too) early start and the fact that I’ve only had 3 coffees so far today, but I have had a brief nap earlier this afternoon.

Anyway, it got me thinking about grey, as in the colour… or rather, the shade that is grey. Barest shimmering silver to deepest, darkest gunmetal… hints of green, blue, purple, red… I think grey is fabulous, and I think I should have more of it in my wardrobe. However, until such times as I can afford to, my latest wishlist blog will have to suffice…
