I'm not very good with water-colour yet, I'm trying to figure out a technique but it's been a struggle.
Nonetheless! My baby David Bowie.

I just found this in my Photobooth folder and laughed hysterically.

Sometimes I'm such a mess.

Change Is Coming Around You

  My cousin (my 2nd cousin's wife, so - does that make her my step-2nd-cousin?) Christen is a beautiful folk/ballad singer, and she had a show tonight at The Little Bean Café. It just so happens to be a few blocks away from my house yet I had never been there before, it was quite large for a coffee shop but maintained that cozy and romantic vibe. However, it's been a bit of a chilly day so my aunt said she would pick me up since it wasn't out of her way and we immediately ran in for hot drinks (while making them 'Irish').
  We chatted with fellow friendly coffee-drinkers and grabbed a table to chit-chat with each other at. The opening girl began her set and I thought her voice was lovely (until Christen's set), but we grabbed some cards and played a few games of euchre while gabbing and enjoying the sounds flowing around the room.

  Oh and decided that I need to get a job so the boy and I can go out more often because spending a few days in my apartment lead to the following atrocity:

Basically the epitome of our existence.

Gifted Rooter

 I went to the boy's house on Tuesday and came home Friday around noon because I was supposed to have an interview at 1, but it was unfortunately rescheduled last-minute. We spent a lot of time bumming around and watching stupendous films/documentaries and talking (he made me eggies in a basket for breakfast which was just lovely because he's a wonderful cook).  

Movie List!

 K-PAX with Kevin Spacey who I am so smitten by I should be embarrassed. This could be the best acting I've seen him do where he plays Prot (prote), a patient at an institution who says he's from the planet K-PAX.

Catfish is a documentary about a photographer living with his brother and friend who are filmmakers. They spend almost a year capturing his developing yet questionable internet friendship with a family who send him artwork.

Dear Zachary is a documentary about the life of the late murdered Andrew Bagby dedicated to his baby son Zachary whom he never met (I cried like a fool during this one).

Another Spacey gem to satisfy my needs. The Usual Suspects is the 1995 film about five crooks who randomly end up in the same police line-up.

I not only loved this film for the obvious reason that it was fantastically written, but because the boy was geeking and giggling the entire time which only made me laugh more. Paul Giamatti and Thomas Haden Church play two best friends going through a mid-life crisis filled with wine and a road trip.

On the way home my mum made two pit-stops to show me these amazing thrift stores that have somehow gone unnoticed despite that they are located mere minutes from my apartment. I felt like a child in a candy store rooting through every possible rack and spending so much time in change rooms while having the most lovely conversations with their sales ladies.

  I checked all the tags vigorously looking for original prices but I had to check websites for a lot of them in the end. The original prices overall came to a whopping $860 while I only paid $65.99 and of course I'm experiencing just how pleased I am with myself.
