Gaaah! Paid $66 to develop two rolls of 120 film

Slide film is so fun ^.^ but a pain in the a** when half the roll doesn’t develop because the lighting was too dark.
And I got a new phone today cause my other one isn’t functioning anymore. Well… it was a phone upgrade for my Plan/Cap anyway…
$66? Where are you going? I would slap someone who would charge me that much. And even if that price was with...

uhhhhh just got back from ryan adams & the cardinals at the enmore with kate. a-mazing. most fantastic set list ever, ryan was in fine, cheerful form (“these are my bffs - THAT MEANS BEST FRIENDS FOREVER, I TEXTED YOU ALL THAT!” lollllll oh ryan bb ilu) and the only problem was how hot it was, but that wasn’t really the cards’ fault, so i can let it go. also, when i was...
i get the feeling, talking to some americans, that they don’t really know what an arts minister does? there’s a weird assumption that by instituting one, there’ll suddenly be this constant censoring of all the art in the country. um, you don’t live in a dictatorship. all an arts minister does is provide a connection between the government and the arts community, helping...
There is something vaguely embarrassing—even narcissistic—about our new era of...

HAHAHAHAA i was just clearing out my email, and i found my favourite response to the craigslist ad i put up when i was looking for somewhere to live in providence:
hi. i’m recently divorced, very sane, but a little wild. would love to have a college girl living in my place. 2 bed room 2 bath apt. off thames. discrete and fun place. and i own a maid outfit. nothing sexual.. just dressing up...
oh my god, i forgot i made this. i was talking to one of my friends on election night 2007 about how channel 10 had chosen to show star wars instead of election coverage, and she remarked that it might be excellent to see john howard do his morning walks to the imperial march. so, y’know, i borrowed a bunch of youtube footage and obliged. although idk, it loses momentum in the middle, sorry...

Apparently, I’ve only read 23 (and a half) of the books on this list. I’m horrified.
I managed 38; there’s an enormous pile of mentioned books that are lying around my room half-read, stacked up next to my to-read pile. That doesn’t excuse the fact that of the number of books from this list that I’ve completely read I only managed double digits, oh poo
Same....

tv on the radio were amazing, btw. the only thing that could have made it better was if i’d gotten to shoot it (there were only two photographers! usually the metro lets at least three in, i would have felt better if i’d known that the reason they didn’t give me a pass was because they’d filled all the spots, but apparently not, probably because i applied too late), but it...

Nightlife in Sydney, however, means: melting streets, beery shoes, girls wearing flags and flaking temporary tattoos and not much else, Estelle remixes, mojitos and popped collars (still). Welcome to Australia Day long weekend, where bogans roam the streets with twelve-packs hoisted on their shoulders, and green-and-gold clothing is mandatory attire.
ugh ugh ugh i was at the metro last...
see, i was going to make some epic bitch post about how hot it’s been today (in the 40s, mostly), but about half an hour ago this huge cool change came through, and now it’s like a freezing hurricane is battering in my window, so i kind of have nothing to complain about apart from how i think i might wear jeans instead of shorts to tv on the radio tonight? which is not really a...

okay, so i know this is going to bug me if i don’t find out. i used to have a copy of a song that was by someone who was quite like miss dynamite (eg chav-ish female british garage rapper type), but i don’t think it was her, and i remember one of the lyrics was something like “hang on i’m not that big i’m only five foot one” and she sounded sort of indignant when...

HAHAHAAHAH omg, one of the search engine hits to my flickr yesterday was “old lady stealing”. who is searching for that?? WHY. (the other question is probably why do i have photos like that, but psht, i am an ahrtiste, i am allowed to use stealing old ladies in my ahrt.)
No seriously, what did i do at shows i went to by myself while waiting for the band to come on before i had internet on my phone? Stood around awkwardly staring at the ground, is what i did at my first solo one (sonic youth, 2004, if yr interested)
Am by myself at hot chip :/ front row though, it might make up for it.

I just thought of the best 21st cake idea ever. All I need is a ring tin and a cupcake tin.
“You dawg, I heard you like cake…”
DO IT. (and then take photos.)
