Procrastaskate

George Viv and Hannah at the Rooftop Cider Bar in Melbs.

 I'm learning how to skate! It's incredibly relaxing and uber cool and I can't wait til I can actually skate around uni and not stack it every two seconds. Also people are being particularly irritating today. It's probably because I'm stressed and I have this stupid History assignment due, but seriously some people need to grow up and get a life. It's getting rather ridiculous.

Imma go procrastaskate some more !

Submarine

Most people think of themselves as individuals, as if theres no one else like them on the planet. This motivates them to get out of bed, eat food and walk around like nothings wrong.

Oh yes, so the film. I fell in love with it! Two weeks in a row now, date night has had amazing films. The cinematography was gorgeous, the soundtrack (created by the lead singer of the Artic Monkeys, Alex Turner) was superb and the script was hilarious. I enjoyed the film much much more than the book, besides the change in ending (I won't spoil it for those of you who are yet to read and/or watch it). Directed by British comedian Richard Ayoade (most of you would probably recognise him as Moss from The IT Crowd), Submarine follows the story of fifteen year old Oliver Tate, who is concerned with two things- firstly his new-found relationship with Jordana Bevan, who is "moderately unpopular, therefore making romance between the two of them likely." and secondly the relationship of his parents, which he monitors through the dimness of his parents light switch. The film, from the trailer and publicity alone, seems like the trite coming-of-age story that we've all seen before blah blah blah. However Ayoade's soft cinematography, and playful script leaves pretentiousness out of the picture and in the thoughts of Oliver. The film pretty much reminded me of my nerdy pretentious albeit self loathing 15 year old person, and how he imagined his world to be like it is in the films and whatnot. Anyways, it's definitely going to be placed in my top 5 films of this year methinks.

Jus Burgers & Churros

I had a film night date with Viv tonight. Jus Burgers for dinner, watched Submarine then went for Churros afterwards. Yummy.

Submarine Trailer

I just received a phone call from a really old friend of mine who I haven't seen in months who just told me to go watch Submarine immediately because apparently the girl in the film is identical to me haha. After reading the book and all the hype surrounding this film, I shall be seeing it after my stupid assignments are done on Tuesday. Wooooot!

Melbourne Snaps & More Travelling?

More snaps from Melbourne. Viv and I have been planning all our future trips interstate and overseas, so far its:

January 2012: Sydney 

July 2012: Canada/USA or Korea/Japan 

January 2013: South-East Asia Tour-- Vietnam, Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore, Indonesia and possibly Taiwan 

July 2013: Europe? Probably... 

January 2014: Somewhere uber cool and exciting!

Also, I want to go on exchange back to France again for a year this time, so I'll have to pop that in somewhere and I'm pretty keen on a South America trip although Viv wouldn't be able to handle it and I probably couldn't go anywhere without her (whipped, I know).

In other news, I went to the Arts Ball last night which was lovely. All the girls looked so pretty and all the boys were all very attractive in their suits. I'm not drinking for quite some time after having a few bad recent evenings, but I sipped on a glass of red wine all night and danced to the really cool jazz 60s music that they were playing. I didn't get any snaps of what I was wearing because I'm on the organising committee and thus was running around after work trying to organise everything and had to get changed really quickly, but hopefully some from the night will surface around. But now it's time to settle down, write this politics essay and organise a french oral that I have this week. Oh but it's such a lovely day outside!

PS. this new blogspot arrangement is annoying me a little bit, the html code is now all fancy and harder to write with!

Spring threads & Wicked!

I bought this shirt for $15 yesterday on a whim at my universities weekly shop sale thingo (I actually have no idea what it is, it's just a random assortment of things being sold on campus every Tuesday) and have actually fallen in love with it. It has this cute little gold top button, white collar and it's made from this really comfy silk pattern. It's just one of those shirts in where the cut is really flattering. The weather is so lovely at the moment, I could spend all day long lying in the sun doing my universities readings and embracing the sunshine. I finally can start wearing a little bit of variety at uni now aswell, instead of my thick jacket that I always have to wear in the wintertime. I have quite a few assignments due next week, and three shifts at work not to mention a university ball on Saturday night so I've been stressing out just a tad but other than that life is fairly swell. Just a week of stress than I'm of to Phuket! Wooot! In other news, my mum scored some free tickets for the musical Wicked tonight, so we're dressing up, looking pretty and going to a really nice restaurant at Burswood before seeing the show. I'm pretty excited. Also, I'm eating Nutella in the bottom picture. 'Tis very satisfying.

Fatty Fridays

Tonight we made wontons and spring rolls and it was amazingly fatty and I will not be able to eat anything else for over a week. I also planned my proposal to Viv, we will marry when gay marriage is legalised, and planned out the life of our kid that I'm going to have through IVF. It was amazing.

I always went back to my old high school today to check out it's arts day (thats like, for those of you who don't know, a day dedicated to both the creative and performing arts and showcases things like dance, music, photography, art, cooking, chorale etc) and pretty much became ultra nostalgic for the days in plaid skirts and navy blazers. Even though high school sucked, I still missed those days chilling in the media room and being a nerd. It also reminded me of those days where I uploaded to this blog 4 or 5 times a day...
