Life Update

The list of things to do grows, yet again.

Sigh.

Going home soon. So much uncertainty in the air, it’s already killing me. I don’t plan to leave for another two months at least.
I wish I had more reason to be in one place or another. Hmmm, maybe “reason” is the wrong word.

This last week I’ve figured out a few things I want, and it’s kinda scary. I think I am entering a new time in my life… yet again.

Hmmm, this post seems to be getting more and more Emo. I will try not to derail into a emotional mess of multisyllabal words sputtering into the interweb as a post of confusion, pain, despair etc etc etc. Oh look. Too late.

Seriously though. I think I need some time to chill out and gather my thoughts. Develop some patience. Patience especially. Also, open mindedness… Is that one word. Also, vocabulary.

Sigh.

Australian Music Fans Today

Psychiatrists assessing their patients should consider their music taste in their assessment, says a study published in the “Australasian Psychiatry”. It found that people who listen to pop music are insecure about their sexuality, jazz types are loners and misfits, rap and metal fans are more likely to drive drunk and have unprotected sex, while fans of metal, trance and emo are more likely to suicide.

Now there’s a very valid use of scientific funding… not. Lifted from The Music.

  

How could I be missing this?!?

From the Biennale of Sydney comes: A Forest of Lines.

PLANTS IN THE SYDNEY OPERA HOUSE! So BALSAMIC!

Mayer vs. Cruise…

So I have this theory that preeeeeetty soon, John Mayer will be the younger, slightly saner, musical Tom Cruise… minus the Scientology.

I love the dude, but he’s going a bit nutso at the moment. He’s always been a bit of a showman, a comedian, writer, performer, muso. And now it’s all going full throttle with his celeb status. See the new tattoo? Crazy Japanese style sleeve over his left arm incorporating his old tatts. Fair enough, technically a nice tatt. But JOHN MAYER doesn’t get sleeve tatts! It’s John Mayer! (I still love the three boxes on his right arm, one of my fave concepts ever for tattooage). Plus there’s a new faux-hawk. I’m not diggin’ this new “cool” style. And the Jennifer Aniston thing (well, I don’t really have too much of an opinion on that), but the dude seems to have too much time on his hand.

Go make that new album already!

(update: looking for computer bags I stumbled onto this, from JM’s recent holiday through Nippon. I think it’s funny as a JM fan, that I am more jealous that he is friends with incase, rather than the other way…)

  

I’ll know I’ve nested when…

  • I’ve started to collect and display real art work from my fave international artists and friends.
  • Painted my entire abode colours to my choosing.
  • Bought a cute tea set!

Gigiddy Gigiddy.
