Put stuff on your head.

Mmmhmm...

Oh summer

How you distract me during the weekends.

I can tie a tie now!

Go me!

Re-doing The Wall

For all my new projects!

And yes. I am wearing a tie. More on that tomorrow.

Outside my window...

I really need a haircut.

Yep. Still sick.

I kind of want to strangle myself.

I've been searching my room for random trinkets out of boredom and stumbled across my HILARIOUSLY HIPSTER 3D glasses I got a while back watching Alice In Wonderland. They'd actually be kind of cool if they weren't quite so enormous.

Please insert obligatory "oh my god they make everything 3D!" joke of your choice.

Aaaaaaand I'm sick again.

Who gets the flu in November? Really? Thanks world. Thanks a bunch.

It was sunny yesterday.

So we planted some wildflowers.

Creatively dead.

Here. Have a macro test-shot I took this morning while I checked my emails.

The graphic border totally makes it a legitimate photograph instead of my going "click" without any real purpose.

So I drove to Raglan yesterday.

There wasn't anything interesting in Raglan. We drove for two and a half hours. I was stunningly unimpressed.

Although this was quite possibly the cutest store I have ever seen.

Also Melissa; I hope you're feeling better and able to enjoy your freedom from the most hated exams. My head is in sympathy for your head's pain!

So. This is a new level, even for me.

Today I sat down and made my dad teach me the basics about binary coding. Because I felt like it. Yes. For those interested/can read it (I can't ... yet) I've put up subtitles of the codes. It's in ASCII.

So much nerdiness. I cannot handle.

I am five minutes away...

...from running away and joining the circus. Oh wait. New Zealand is too small to have a proper circus to run away to. Curse you! Why must you thwart my attempts to avoid real life?!

Check out what I found.

The scary thing is I was probably nine or ten when that photo was taken...

Anyway. To those who wondered; this is what I'd look like if I had eyebrows, moderately dark hair, and skin that actually got to see the sun.

**It was stage makeup for a dance performance and I was caked under about a centimeter of bronzer and hair gel. Fun times!

So close!

I very nearly didn't upload a picture tonight. It's the first time in a long time a double-dose of painkillers hasn't sorted out a migraine for me. I shot and uploaded this while I waited for my second set of pills to kick in. Right now I'm feeling pretty damn sleepy.

My head still feels like it's in a vice. Stupid ineffective over the counter medicine. Please don't make me go over to prescription pain killers. I don't want the hassle.

I love when my dad recommends books to me

Sparkly things!

Yeah!

I have blue nails and incredibly messy hair.

I tried to take a photo of how amazingly sticky-outy the back was, and flailed miserably, so you get this incredibly messy, silly looking photograph.

And yes. It is indeed a burden to have hair this inherently attractive. Thank you for your concern.

Check it out I have legs.

This is the photo I took for lighting check. Can you tell I'm really really really tired?

Yeah. I take a class of vaganova method ballet on thursdays in a desperate attempt to keep myself active. I haven't danced in any capacity in about three years. It's hard work. I'm going to go sleep now.


**Yes they're a bit out of focus. I tried the auto-focus feature on my camera. It didn't work well. The new lighting set up did though! And I exist as more than a torso! It's very exciting.

Today? I made cupcakes.

...

So this post got really off-topic...

I'd originally intended to make a few stupid faces to correspond with little emoticons.

And also to use it as an excuse to throw multi-coloured sequins all around my room (So. Many. Sequins. My vacuum is going to hate me).

~~~~~~~~~

HOWEVER. I noticed a spider lurking behind my drawers, and when I went back to plug in another light IT WAS GONE.

And then proceeded to get distracted and make this set entirely about how worried I was about the whereabouts of the spider. Bloody thing.

I mean, it could be anywhere. It could go into my clothes. Into my box of happy things. Hiding under my bed. HIDING IN MY BED.

*Squeak*

OMG YOU GUYS

I ACTUALLY GOT AN UP TO DATE PHOTO OF MY DAD. Whoo!

Admittedly the only way he'd consent was to cover half his face with a book, but whatever. My mother refuses outright to get in front of the camera, but I can occasionally bully my dad into letting me take a photo. I think the last time was two years ago. In Paris, because it would have been a crime not to have a photo with my dad in front of the Louvre.

In other news....

Oh my god why do I own this book. Two pages in and the phrase; "brooding mist" is used.

I swear this book is going to devour me whole. Please send help?

In other news I'm getting more and more pleased with my lighting setup. Look at all that over-exposure! I'm so super excited! Now if only I could bully more people into coming over and letting me take their photograph...
