a babble of birthdays

yesterday's was leah's, today ilona's. brad's tomorrow, jamie's the day after. what am i, made of hugs and well wishes?? well, yeah kinda.

there was shopping (a new phone - not an iphone, & clothes), wandering and starbucks and music in laneways...
i've got that lovin' melbourne feeling again.

the eve was karaoke at kbox on latrobe. what a whole lot of silly fun, pizza, drinks and friends. moved across to trunk after that. and the night was just amazing. i'm referring to the climate. short sleeve top with no jacket, or cardigan or scarf or anything. a sunshiney day turned into a gorgeous evening. the promise of the wonderful summer ahead i reckon.

post-work, pre-dance

the in-between moments. playing catch up with a film released a few years back now. a few laugh out loud moments and a couple of gagging moments. but i did enjoy this. i like simon pegg. not as much as john simm though. ;)

awesome film

see it. 'nuff said. moving on.

i want THIS!!!

i covet this roomful of books. i followed a link to shelfari which is just a glorious idea for a site and i landed in the magical land of neil gaiman. i swear this man is haunting me at the moment.

i want all my books around me. and a big, deep chair without books, to sit upon.

getting and giving

in the last three days i've received two gifts. how great is that? both unexpected and both glorious. sunday's was from tash. she was having a belated birthday afternoon tea and ended up gifting her female friends with a tremendous book.


strange custom, but i definitely approve and will get on with reading it very soon.

then last night at dancing nat handed over a handmade present of woolen sleeves. i don't have a picture to explain but i'll post one when i do. they're wonderful and she knitted them for me. so yah... i love gift-getting and gift-giving (when inspiration motivates me). i'm in the gift-giving mood at the moment and am preparing a few fabulous ones i'm really excited about. man, i hope the receivers enjoy them just as much. ;)

things have changed

or is it just me?

you know when you've got it good, but you still think something's missing...? ah... sometimes i just wish i could be more content. one day... ;)

i went looking for a book the other night, then realised when i got to my room that it's been in storage for the past three years. i swear i've been in storage more often than not. another one day...

dreams and destiny

"The boy didn't know what a person's "destiny" was. It's what you have always wanted to accomplish. Everyone, when they are young, knows what their destiny is. At that point in their lives, everything is clear and everything is possible. They are not afraid to dream, and to yearn for everything they would like to see happen to them in their lives. But, as time passes, a mysterious force begins to convince them that it will be impossible for them to realise their destiny".
one of my favourite books, the alchemist by paulo coelho.
