Do do do do

Hey there! Sorry for the not writing over the last week, it's been a busy time. I got excited about a lot of things and either organised to do them, talked to people about doing them or thought about doing them. The things I did do include buying a ticket to the Black Lips, buying a ticket to Ty Segall, applying to be a volunteer at falls festival, applying to study fine arts at RMIT in good old Melbs and finally: BEING INVITED TO ATTEND AN INTERVIEW AT RMIT! I was so excited that I cried. Here's the thing though; I am in NSW, the interview is on Monday. I'm in a frenzy.

Tomorrow I'm going to Blurst of Times festival with Bridie. It's going to be so fucking great. We're staying in Sydney and then going to see Bluejuice on Sunday with Dan, Hamish and Beth. Or at least that was the plan, I'm seriously considering dropping everything (blurst of times excepted) to be at this is interview. Oh dear, oh dear. Life. Everything all at once.

Our electricity is out. We suspect that rats chewed through the wires. I'm sitting in the dark stressing about what to do but I am also just so happy. So, so happy. A real life interview and presentation of my own portfolio! I thought it was just an urban legend...
I'm not sitting in the dark anymore. I lit one candle. Maybe in a another life there would've been more candles. But that's in the past now. There was a fucking spider lurking about on my bed so I've relocated to the lounge room where I'm spending 50% of my time shuddering and ringing my hands when I remember how that fool back in the bedroom tried to crawl over my person. I'd better preserve some phone battery so that I can be woken up by it in the morning.

Goodbye :')

Ooh here's a picture of the sweet as snow that happened a couple of days ago! Good stuff.

Good stuff

Happy Friday! For everyone who doesn't work in hospitality.. But even for the fools who do (me) it's still not so bad I guess. I'm sitting here behind the bar like some sort of super cool king. There is only one table and they're a little too preoccupied with their pancakes to notice that I haven't actually been doing anything. Today I'm really just getting paid to draw. I thought when my boss came over I was gonna get a little telling off but she just smiled and offered me some better quality paper. I accidentally drank quite a lot before work. What I thought was going to be one small drink to ease the pain of having to work on such a nice day turned into a third of a bottle jim beam. Gross. I've been drinking coffee and tea since I arrived in desperate attempt to counteract the alcohol in my blood. So far so good.
Here's a quick photographic summary of my time on the job. Yay!
