Christmas Tree, Oh Christmas Tree

Early morning Christmas tree sales will be the death of me.

At least I got a free tree for my efforts. It looks loverly and smells even loverly-er =)

Double Standard

so we havent posted a blog in a while. a lot has been occurring
relocating houses etc etc
and we have just had a pretty massive weekend. we went a bit crazy in the brain. probably from sleeping at such unusual hours 4 days in a row

christmas day turned into a fantastic night of drinking and dancing and limbo and drumming and guitar solos on the floor until 4:30 in the morning
boxing day was the last bang gang at third class. even though 'standard' was the word of the evening, it was not a standard night at all. we were in alice in wonderland
saturday was reptiles at pony. apparently i was in fairyland. i saw some people that werent really there, and then i saw a man playing a cello but well he wasnt playing a cello at all. and then when i closed my eyes i saw an elephant splashing in the water
and yesterday, we just felt odd. staring was nice. and i realised that no thoughts were running through my brain. it just went beeep beep be bee beeep

and today i feel pretty standard again

enough of my ramble, here are some photos from christmas courtesy of the lovely chloe

Fekking Kent

Wet, horrible, windy, miserable, long, grueling day! This is Summer!? Hard to believe.

I am exhausted. I've worked full time hours, 18 days in a row now, including the weekends. And I have gone out in between as well; Holy Fuck on Wednesday night, Lee Gallery on Thursday and work drinks on Friday night. And tomorrow I have Nevereverland to contend with. Don't get me wrong, it should be a fabulous day, but I may just have to call in sick on Monday ha ha.

Just going back to HOLY FUCK for a minute... this event was definitely blogworthy! It was just so odd. Firstly to see a girl shuffling along to Mountains in the Sky =/ and then the craziness that is Holy Fuck.

About half the time my ears were actually in pain from the volume of the music they were making, and the other half I was thinking 'what the fuck is that instrument they are playing now!?'. Dude on the right had a crazy little piano thing which he blew into to make noise and then he put it on top of a hugely distorted microphone so it sounded hectic. And dude on the left used what I presume was a guitar pickup as a microphone. He seemed to just hold it in his teeth and make noise while he played keyboards and pressed some big red button with his hands. Oh and he occasionally used some unusual contraption with film stuff running through it. And when he pulled on the film it made like a scratching noise? Yeah I cannot even begin to explain that one. Hahaha. I loved it. It was intense. Awesome gig.

Jingle Bells

So despite not really having a weekend, I have had a reasonably good weekend

Selling Christmas trees is not exactly fun, nor glamourous, but it is pretty much tradition. And I guess it was good to see the family

And I also scored a pretty nice tree for free =)

It certainly beats the old one I still have sitting on my balcony from last year haha

Beat on the Street

Alas, the start of a new step in life and the end of another era. With graduation a loom and scoring my new job at hand, we decided to take it to the streets to celebrate. Rain, wind and a bit of sunshine, umbrellas jackets and hats : ). I am glad to finally have weekends, and most of all a carefree day. I think if i only had cigarettes goonjuice and some sweet tunes, i could stay happy forever.

these are the faces of meth. (note: we dont actually take meth)
goon juice representing.

while on our saturday afternoon walk, i decided i don't look up enough. Ah and wouldn't you have guessed, i found this bubble hole along burke street. provides for a loverly view of the tree and sky, apart from that i am not too sure what else the point to it really is. perhaps its for those times when you need questions answered.  you can look up and its like a mystical bubble. sort of like a magic 8 ball. In this mystical bubble it holds everything that you would ever need to know. You can always look up into the bubble and in it,  and questions are revealed.

We ended up down queen street way while on the way to the schwipe party. In a tiny street somewhere  we found this loverly house. 

we found this sign and decided to follow it.

Although we never found it, we did find these amazing things on the walls.

Robots are fucking awesome.

As we were  in the neighborhood, we decided to visit the haunted car-park. Unfortunately instead we were greeted with nothing but ruble and cranes. Next door however the abandoned building of the old forensic centre still stands. We took a detour through into the victorian university law school, we found some stairs which took us pretty much on to the roof of the forensic centre. 

Christmas sprit flooded  the streets. 

p.s i have decided i have really really bad grammer.
but i have also realized i dont give a fuck.
love mills xxoo
