LD TUTTLE

2009-08-20T17:50:00.001-07:00

You know as expensive as these are (for me at least anyway being the university student pauper that I am) I think my tax return may be devoted to one of these bad boys - I quite enjoy the little ankle boots. I see a great deal of longevity and utility in Tuttles designs; a sturdy heal to avoid being "that wobbly chick by the bar" + a simple, clean silhouette = WINNER. Has anyone any experience with LD Tuttles? Specifically does anybody know if they are generally as comfortable as they look?

The Fantastic Mr Fox.

2009-08-03T03:24:00.000-07:00

Initially when I heard about the film adaptation, I was actually quite excited. Now though, I harbour mixed feelings. On its own merits it looks like a reasonably good film. However I am a Roald Dahl freakazoid and as is so often the case with film adaptations of his work, this film seems to be lacking that Roald Dahl essence - you know, that quirky subtle humour. This just seems very americanised; not only with the accents of the voices (which really bugs me) but also with the kinds of jokes and one liners it sports - which are NOT in the book. I must admit that I usually hate most film adaptations of books so perhaps I am biased. But I really think that producers and directors have a responsibility to the books existing audience to accurately represent it. I HATE that the Harry Potter films skip sooooooooooooooooooo much of the plot (not to mention that a lot of the child acting is god awful) and it really irritates me here that things have been added in that weren't in the book - most probably at the expense of events that actually do occur in ze book. Anywho, rant over. feel free to let me know what you think. I love to talk about Roald Dahl!! enjoy. xx

It was really nice to be at a concert where everyone in the crowd was really considerate and friendly toward each other - rude scenesters as Splendour take note! (you've ruined that festival) Then I went and ate pancakes. Was a reallllllly great night.

Consequently, exactly every 2 minutes, the same webpage pops up. It bears giant vaginas and what not, which flash before my eyes for around 10 seconds, then a 'nun' appears to entice me with a dildo. This has been going on for about a week. I really do not need this right now. Source: Anywho, sea of shoes, frou frou, stockholmstreetstyle. xx

thanks knight cat, you're a good egg.

2009-06-27T05:06:00.000-07:00

Knight Cat just has shed some light on what was a SLIGHTLY irksome problem. For some months I had several pictures saved of some street fashion snaps of this one girl who I thought had ze best style I'd seen going in a while and I had sighed to myself and wondered "who is this beauty who has ensnared my partialities so completely?" many a time (usually whilst staring into the distant horizon, nursing my brandy with show tunes playing softly in the background - yes I'm that kind of drunk). I had resigned myself to never knowing. BUT THEN! In my saturday-night-no-money-because-you-spent-it-last-night-and-on-ebay-so-now-you-must-sit-at-home-bordeom I decided to peruse my list of usual blogs. And there she was on knight cats blog - with a name put to her face no less. My street style muse is... Pamela Love. This may not make for very interesting reading but I tell you people, it has certainly made my evening far more fruitful than anticipated. So naturally upon discovering the identity of this goddess, I googled her like you wouldn't believe. Here now are the results of my forage. Enjoy. Thanks knight cat, you have made me very happy!

I cannot express to you just how ridiculously (and irrationally since I have little chance of ever encountering one in ze wild THANK GOD) terrified I am of crocodiles. I read a book about them a few years ago. There are accounts of them lying in wait in the surf in Far North Queensland (Australia) and then leaping forth from the surf and snatching tourists taking an early morning beach stroll. HOW AWFUL! What is a crocodile doing at the beach?! They are sposed to be in the rivers and creeks where they belong and where I know to stay out of! So now I am probably the only one at the beach more concerned about crocodile rather than shark attack. Almost all of my nightmares (I mean uh not that I ahh have many now that I'm an adult..) involve these fuckers. They are beautiful in their own horrifying kind of way though.

Yay number 1: exams are finishedddd (woooooot wooooot woooooot) (annnnd one more for the rd, wooot)

Yay number 2: My broadband allowance refreshed itself todayyyy (which means a return to sporadic bloggen bloggin bloggon)

Yay number 3: The exam induced purchasing russshhh of clothes (online shopping is number 1 in my arsenal of heavy procrastination artillery) resulted in 3 consecutive days of parcel delivery to my haus (I believe the post woman thinks I have a problem and I am sure she is giving me somewhat judgemental looks behind those all purpose sunglasses of hers). Each parcel bore fruit more delicious than the last - which means once I buy batteries for ze digi, expect my face to be poppin up all over de place via outfit posts aiiight.

Yay number 4: My friends have also finally finished their exams too! so today one of my fellow unviresity peers and I are going to the Da'vinci inventions exhibition (did you know he invented the bike?! And I think maybe scissors too but I may have made that up - shall get back to you post exhibition), american impressionism/realism exhibition and then I'm going to sit by the river with my friend and eat froghurt - which given my DRAMATIC love of yoghurt/frozen foods I shall be able to more competently appreciate the quality of than say an 1855 landscape by *insert relevant american impressionist/realist here*. yeaaa boi. And then tomorrow my other friend is going to continue my induction into the comic book worldwhilst chastising me for not reading the piles AND piles of books he suggested last time we met. skeeet skeeet. I love end of exams.

p.s went to the exhibition and no scissors in sight - however Da'vinci designed a lot of nasty naval warships that manage to be simultaneously both horrifying yet entirely logical..

I'm going deep underground.

The blog will remain silent and still for the next week or so for a number of reasons

1) I have dickloads of exams fast approaching

2) I accidentally exceeded my bandwith allowance by watching terrible reality tv online - yet another reason to hate spencer pratt - thus making the process of posting incredibly tedious.

3) my blog addiction is reaching a potentially drastic crescendo - like cabin fever drastic yeh.

Its called "The Power of Nightmares: the Rise of Fear in Politics" and you can watch it all on google videos/youtube. It looks at the rise of religious extremism as we know it today, and the simultaneous rise of Neo-conservatism in the US. I've posted the first 10 minutes of episode 1 of 3 to wet your appetite.

just doing some study for a political science exam next wk (notes are already 37 pages of typed notes and I'm still not done - gaaaahhhh brain pain) and I read a really interesting and relevant article by a guy called Michale Scott Dorran. It's about the ideology of extremist Islamist groups, focusing specifically on Osama Bin Laden. It focuses on the rationalisation behind Al Qaedas attacks on the US and looks at how previous US administrations policy in the Middle East in part precipitated these attacks. I am unable to post it because its about 18 pages long - but its an easy read - so I'd be happy to e-mail the PDF file to anyone thats interested. I realllllllllly recommend you read it!

It strikes me as rather strange that Wen Jiabao - the current head of Government in China - was the aid to Zhao Ziyang (a former Chinese Premiere and a strong sympathiser with the student protesters and who was eventually put under house arrest for the rest of his life for this support) yet the Chinese government still refuses to acknowledge/discuss the massacre. I wonder what Jiabao privately thinks of it all. If anyone has any source/texts they could refer me too, that would be much appreciated.

Cannot begin to explain just how GLEEFUL I felt when I unwrapped that. It's german made, it's mega pretty and its got 100,000 different stitch settings and I have NO idea how to use it. Thank christ it came with 4 free lessons. What the fuck is a Bobbin? I always thought it was a disney character but my mother informs me its got something to do with the string.. This should be interesting. And these pictures detail what I wore out for my birthday celebrations with my friendssss.
