Things I Love Thursday
[ 14 December 2007 ]
1. s i n k i n, 2. Versus, 3. tea in portobello, 4. Untitled, 5. LSD, 6. Heatherette, 7. Manolo Blahniks, 8. too darn hot
“A thing of beauty is a joy forever; its loveliness increases; it will never pass into nothingness.” — John Keats.
Here are the things I am appreciative of this week…
Inspiring friends who make your brain crackle. Last weekend we had a friend staying with us from New Zealand — he is a great adventurer & starts stories with, “So I was in an alley way in New York & walked up some stairs & saw Lenny Kravitz & asked, ‘Is this Milk & Honey?’ & he said, ‘Only one way to find out’...” or “Well, it was either riding across Kyrgyzstan on a horse or hunting moose in Greenland…”. Anyway, he lived in New York for years & it is his favourite place on Earth (a high accolade coming from him, since he has travelled practically everywhere). He has totally been stoking the embers of my NYC obsession. I am now DYING to go back.
Flight of the Conchords! If you don’t know who they are, they’re a musical comedy duo from New Zealand (actually, Wellington, where I grew up). I’ve seen them perform in person more times than I can count, & they are absolutely hilarious. They just finished filming a series for HBO & there’s a second season in the works for 2008. (Yay!) Anyway, I have a little crush on Jemaine & I am pretty convinced that listening to one of their songs first thing in the morning is the best ever way to start the day. (I recommend Business Time, If You’re Into It & Bret You’ve Got It Going On!)
Polyvore. I know I am totally late on the bandwagon, but I am having way too much fun constructing imaginary ensembles with it. It’s a major time-suck, but I like to justify it to myself as content generation! I am going to post a whole lot of them soon. Anyway. LOVE IT SO MUCH. Sign up & go nuts!
Hip hop! Drool. I find it hard to explain how happy it makes me. It combines some of my all-time favourite things, including spine-tingling bass, sexy men’s voices, taking old ideas & making them new again, & clever word play. Good hip hop makes my heart race, it makes me jump up from my seat, it makes me dance like a lunatic all the way around my living room. (At the moment, the tracks making me do that are American Gangster & Ignorant Shit by Jay-Z, Give It Up by Twista feat. Pharrell, Desire by Pharoahe Monch, Hombre by M.I.A. & everything off Shock Value by Timbaland.) Ahhh! So happy!
Singing ridiculous songs, especially in bed. This morning, my boyfriend said, “I better brush my teeth before I leave to meet Joel,” & I started singing, “Brush your teeth! Before you go-go! Or else Joel will think you’re a mofo!” to the tune of Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go by Wham! HEE HEE.
No regrets. It’s a really, really good feeling to look back at your life & feel okay about everything that’s happened so far. All the little things that happen to you, no matter how horrific or disastrous they may seem at the time, have helped propel you to this spot… & if you can look at it with the view of ‘everything happens for a reason’, your life will seem less confusing & random.
Honourable mentions: Beauty therapists who give you product samples (I had a facial on Tuesday, yum); blossoming friendships & the sneaking suspicion that the reason someone called me was just an excuse!; fabulous new opportunities to grow & change; yoga anticipation (I have a class tonight & I found about yoga in the parks on Sunday!); the incredible emails I receive every day; scribbling all over my Moleskine & knowing that I have a new one to use in two & a half weeks!; talking to my parents on the phone; looking forward to going away over Christmas; taking naps whenever I feel the need… & this video.
Foux de FA FA!
(This is the alarm tone on my cellphone.)
So, what’s turning your crank today? It doesn’t matter what day it is — there’s always a reason to celebrate & be happy about what you have! Think of it as mentally blowing kisses to the things that make you feel good. Share with us!
Super-love & cupcakes,
Gala

the foux de FA FA video brought me an immense amount of joy. Thank you gala, for having such a lovely sense of the vaguely absurd.
hehe, foux de FA FA is going to be in my head ALL day!
Ooo, it’s that time of the week again…
Flickr – Oh dear, I’m addicted!
Going home for Christmas – I’m going to get work done, see my family, eat tasty food, enjoy the warmth of a house with central heating, oh…and maybe relax a little!
White chocolate chip cookies – Wait, have I picked this before on a TILT? Probably…but I guess they deserve another mention. Delish!
Friends – We had such a fun, giddy, drunken Xmas send-off, and right now I am so grateful for each and every one of my close friends.
Gala! – As the year comes to a close and I think about my plans for 2008, I realise a lot of inspiration for my life improvement & goals comes from you, Gala! So, thank you!!
Love n’ hugs to all,
Georgi

OMG, that collage is beautiful! That’s going to be new desktop wallpaper – I especially love the shoes – they remind me of Andy Warhol’s shoe illustrations. I am not too mad about his paintings, but his fashion illustrations are mind-blowing!

the phrase ‘turn my crank’ really turns my crank.
getting to see amanda palmer in melbourne, sharing my cigarette with her (yes, smoking is lame) and getting photos and autographs.
my friend zoe’s exhibition last week. it was amaaaaaaaazing!
* turning my final portfolios for this semester * seeing three of my loveliest friends in one day! * baking cupcakes with my favorite cousin & aunt * getting to dress casual at work, and finally quitting that dreadful job. * dancing to m.i.a., melody club, & daft punk all day * my newly purchased leopard print dress, which i love love loveeeee!!! * getting tickets to see the spice girls reunion in chicago!!!
yayyyyy! :]
Today I love:
Getting my hair cut. Love the mini head massage, and that salon shampoo and conditioner….
Dexter. I’ve only watched two episodes, and I’m instantly addicted!
Buying secondhand magazines from op-shops. Today I bought two issues of Bazaar and one UK Vogue for a grand total of $1.50!
Hosting a pre-Xmas cupcake party! I’m thinking of baking some kind of chocolate and cherry concoction…
Today I’ve written about 30 Christmas card so far :]. I’m still writing them and packaging up presents, but it feels so good to know that I can deliver little bundle of joys to those who are dearest to me.
The thing I love most about this Thursday was that today was the day that I was awarded the Dux Scholarship from my school for 2008!!!! (Dux = Valedictorian).
My principal rang me yesterday when I was at work to give me a heads up before the ceremony today and I burst into tears! I had to explain what had happened to the girls in the office and then they were all so lovely when they realised why I was a blubbering mess. They all got teary as well and gave me big cuddles and kisses! (They’re scary professional polished lawyers but they’re so so sweet to me! – It was also my last day there for the year and they bought me flowers! Beautiful orange ones … to match my hair! Hehehe!)
So now i’m a big kid! Its scary/exciting and I absolutely cannot wait till Uni starts next year! Eeeep! My courses look amazing and the campus is absolutely beautiful! I can’t wait to meet a whole new set of people and expand my way of thinking!
So this has to be one of the best Thursdays ever! I’m bouncing round the place waiting for it to all sink in! I’m also happy because we had a lovely leavers dinner last night and i’m going away with my family tomorrow for a holiday up in Golden Bay (beautiful beautiful place!)
Now seems quite a fitting time to say reach for the stars .. i did .. and it lead me to $3500!!!!! Yay! Put the effort in, keep a smile on your face, and people WILL acknowledge your hard work, whether it be with flowers, money, or cuddles and kisses! (the latter being the most rewarding I feel)
Love to everyone, especially Señorita Gala who makes my heart smile every time her pink and blue themed page loads!
* Mwah *
Gala i totally agree about your Christmas fantasies. As an Aussie girl, i always wanted a white christmas and was terribly excited when I got one in 1997 – i also got to drink eggnog and i agree with u, it’s a bit weird.. hehehe.
Anyway, this week I love:
*sandypandycandy. I always love her & she finally put up a new album of photos!! Yeee!!
http://sandypandycandy.livejournal.com/33159.html#cutid1
*My boyf – we’ve only been together for 2 months tomorrow but we get on like we’ve known each other forever. We watch silly tv shows and steam up the windows in my car on deserted roads.
*Eating random food for lazy dinners with my mum – tonight it’s salmon, microwaveable fried rice and guacamole.
*Knowing that my little bro will be home to visit me tomorrow night until Sunday night!! Yayyyy!!!
*Knowing that one of my bestest friends is coming back from the US on Saturday night – I haven’t seen her since September 2006!!! Too exciting!!!!
Yay!! Now i’m even more excited about my thursday!!!!

And i strongly reccomend seeing his new movie Eagle vs Shark tis a kiwi movie so of course its fantastic and bloody hilarious saw it at dendy in brisbane and there was only 5 others in the cinema i mean hello its jemaine here why is the whole place not booked haha
only thing that annoys me is cause i was also born in wellington and i can’t figure out where it was filmed any who great film and great folk comedy duo
