You might be wondering where Liss, of totally-looks-like Nicole De Boer fame, has disappeared to. She is currently stuck in Levin. Ok, not stuck, she’s willingly there at her own choice and spending valuable time with her mama, a velvety lazyboy and Brody Jenner by way of Bromance marathons until she moves to Auckland. She has no access to the internet in Levin. Not even dial up. I can’t wait till she comes back so I stop looking like a greedy little blog poster.
Don’t be alarmed, dear readers, this isn’t a post about Lindsay Lohan. It’s about a car. If you look beyond LiLo you will see the car I drive in my dreams with James Franco in the passenger seat: the Rolls Royce Phantom. LiLo is renting one (even she couldn’t afford $450,000 to buy one) and with that said, I swear that will be the last time I write her name on this blog. Anyway, back to The Phantom. I’m not usually one to froth over cars, but The Phantom is different. It’s badass.
Top 5 reasons why I need a phantom:
1)It’s MATTE. OMG, Swoon, etc. 2)Check out the grill, yo. 3)Guaranteed to be a total babe magnet 4)It kind of reminds me of a tank, so driving it would give my small self an immense sense of size and power. 5)It’s called The Phantom like the superhero. Therefore driving one would further reinforce false sense of power, particularly whilst playing my yet-to-be decided theme song.
Back when I was a student, I was one of those square and probably quite annoying types that loved getting a new assignment (no, really), with checklists, assessment criteria and recommended readings. I also enjoyed the girly-swat satisfaction of handing in neatly bound final project to my tutor by the due date. It’s the little things. Anyway, I came across this university project on yayeveryday, and it got me dreaming about studying, particularly something that has scope for such creativity. I’m not going to, but Liss is about to start a web design course which is awfully exciting! I really like the intelligent and fitting design for this hypothetical Wes Anderson Film Festival; in fact I love the whole idea of an Anderson film festival in general. I love his movies. What was the point of this post again? Oh yeah. Studying is fun, (note moral boosting, Liss), Wes Anderson is cool and this project is neat. You can see more of it here.
I’m obsessed, obsessed, OBSESSED with this song. It’s so beautiful. The version on his Live in London album is even more special than this one. I can’t believe it took me so long to discover Leonard Cohen . . . I have your Dab and our trip to Bali to thank for that Lissy! X
I love lists! I've noticed this fun little format on a few blogs so I'm going to steal it everytime I get the urge to list things :p
Watching: Bromance, Running in Heels. I don't understand why I enjoy Bromance, it's so bad. It creeps me out that fully grown men fight over "one on one" time with Brody Jenner. I watched the entire marathon on sunday : / Reading: A portrait of Dorian Gray by Oscar Wilde (slowly but surely) Listening: Guns n Roses greatest hits, Leonard Cohen live in London, The Doors platinum collection (the best doors CD i've ever heard) Drinking: St Clair Vicar's Choice Pinot Noir - exactly what I want after work on a cold rainy day. Wanting: This dress, a return flight to London and a Glastonbury ticket! The line up this year is so good it's just insane. It pains my heart. I can't believe we were actually there two years ago :( Trying: To be a diligent little journalist and not moan about the ridiculous amount of work I have on at the moment. Oh and keep my new car sparkly and clean!
Aaargh I so hope I find an awesome flat in auckland that I can decorate all pretty like :) well, my bedroom at least. I've been a bit obsessed with decorating blogs lately!
Marina & the Diamonds - Obsessions - I don't usually like chicks like this but I like this song :) The Antlers - Kettering - um this is like the saddest song I've heard in ages, listen to the lyrics, waaaaaaa (why do I like sad songs so much but I'm not sad?? weeeeird :p) Grizzly Bear - While you Wait for the Others - new album not quiiiite as good as old ones but still <3
A couple of months ago I was at Mighty Mighty dressed up as a future shaman (naturally), had drunk far too many wine (naturally) and I bumped into Kelvin Cruickshank of Sensing Murder fame. Me being me, I had to tell him how I loved him, loved the show, loved mediums, and so on. I felt like an utter twit when I remembered the whole cringey display the next morning. But tomorrow is my chance to redeem myself because I’m interviewing him! I wonder if he’ll recall me as the mess in the blue feather headdress and compass claiming to have her own psychic “feelings?” I sincerely hope not. Regardless, I’m well excited about it because I genuinely do love all that stuff. I’m also quietly hoping he might have a couple of messages from the other side for me . . . hmmm…
You really should watch this new clip from Saturday Night Live of Justin Timberlake and Andy Samberg singing Mother Lover. because it is AWESOME. I love how Justin Timberlake is secretly a comic genius. The old sly dog . . .
