Things I Love Thursday
[ 18 June 2009 ]
It’s so grey & rainy in New York City right now that I decided a blast of ultra-colour was perhaps what everyone needed! & who better to deliver that than Stuntkid?! (
)
Here are some things I love this week…
Taco night!!!; taking the day off & going shopping; Hank photoshoots; being cute in the mornings; Elton John; Rock The Bells anticipation; for that matter, P.O.S. anticipation; candy-marshmallow-fluff legz; our little family unit (The Dish, Hank Williams et moi); @StanDarde!; peach cobbler; when The Dish raps over MF Doom beats for me while he cleans the bathroom; Pepperidge Farm soft-baked snickerdoodle cookies (ahhhhh); this ring (hello swoon); taxidermied bears; staying inside with a stack of books & magazines; being given an old red hardcover copy of Dracula with a BITE missing from the spine!; kissing Hank on his snoot (“snoot” is a word I stole from Steve Braunias); ...also, using Hank as my personal ottoman/pillow/procrastination device; staying inside when it rains; getting dressed up for fancy dinners; the strange noise my ‘s’ key makes; really good coffee; a surprise package of super-cute lingerie from Bravoom!; watching episodes of The Mighty Boosh in bed; wearing high heels; going out to dinner & not having your phone on the table — focus on one another for a change!; snoring puppies; walking around the East Village; compliments from strangers; working from coffee shops, & The Dish, The Dish, The Dish. He is totally part of my Favourite People Brigade.

Thank you Gala,
* TiLT: Snow days down at uni; deli dinners of fresh bread, salad leaves, sun-dried tomatoes, hummus, brie, salami and ham, yum!; cherishing time with a best friend because you know you’re going to miss them like crazy when they ditch the country to do their PhD at Cambridge (Andrew, you’re a star!); going to pick up developed photos; polka-dot ribbon; seeing my Mum; and cheesecake at lunch-time :)*
that ring is beyond fabulous.
things that have made me happy this week include – new online friends, getting my Moo business cards (EXCITING!) Making my own version of some fabulous viv westwood shoes i cant afford for the grand total of £18, hubby’s cute new hair cut, having our wedding featured in a magazine (check it…oooh www.rocknrollbride.com/2009/06…) someone offering to make me a brand sparkly new header for my site..for FREEEE...ermm i think that is all for now :o) oh and wine. wine always make me happiee
So yeah, that ring is pretty much sex on a…er…ring. Did you get it?! We demand pictures!
Things I love; getting stuff in the mail, polishing shoes so they look like new (we got some black polish for one pair and now I’ve done all of the rest, I am maybe a huge dork!), sewing, cutting my own hair, that my hair is cooperating and will now do volume without looking 80’s stripper, my husband, decorating my new sewing room/workplace, my mint-green vintage bike that we will soon be done refurbing! Ahhh! And I’ll ride it around town in ridiculous heels!
Also I think your fascination with Hank is hilarious; we have a cat who thinks he is a dog and is ridiculously snuggly and clingy. You would LOVE him ;) (His name is Giles…hahaha…the other cat is named Wesley, even though she’s a girl! we found her very young and couldn’t tell for several weeks what sex she was. So we went ahead and named her.) Oh yeah, another thing I love, Buffy! Watching it on DVD! And we’re almost to the part where Riley leaves, I cannot stand him. Spike > Riley
Ok I’m done dorking up your comment space!
Oh wait! I had one more question I’ve been meaning to ask you. Was pink the first unnatural color you dyed your hair? My first color was blue and I’ve become ridiculously attached to having at least some blue in my hair all the time now (it’s pinky magenta and a chunk of blue right now). So I’m curious if it’s just me or if other cotton-candy hair people have the same thing going. Now I am REALLY done.
+My Maximus, he’s asleep on my lap as I write this (he’s a salt n pepper Schnauzer).
+Cute friends who call at inappropriate times.
+New phone and iPod anticipation.
+My sister getting a job she actually wanted.
+Having short hair, I really am happy that I chopped it all off.
bat wing hairclips
peppermint oil
streetlight manifesto
catching up on megatokyo
icewater… ice. i’m so glad i cleaned my ice trays before it got hot out!
pinapple perfume oil that i dumped on my pillow
watching my cats kill a feather flower to death until it dies from it and how proud they look.
In response to Michelle I too am watching (and loving) Buffy!
Things I love this week:
INTERNET SHOPPING. The internet is made for shopping and there are so many pretty things to buy!
- My new hair extensions and my new actual hair, raspberry red, very nice
- Gothic Lolita Bible scans – and trying my hardest not to drool too much and short out my laptop
- Shoes. Just shoes. I’m having a shoe week.
- Getting packages. Being a student the most awesome part of my life is getting packages. It sucks walking back from my post box emptyhanded but I’m expecting many lovely things (as a result of aforementioned internet shopping)
- Sleeping in and listening to the rain. I miss the sun but waking up and hearing soft rain on the window whilst I’m warm and bundled up is awesome.

FAVORITE THINGS THIS WEEK:
DRESSING UP HOURS BEFORE I GO OUT. Around noon I dress up so I’m ready to go out at 9pm. Because I’ve finished my exams, I have nothing to do but bask in my glory and beauty heheh
LOOKING AFTER A FRENCH MANS PET ROOSTER. Totally hilarious and fun! I tried to feed it chicken but I think my dalmatian ate it instead. He wanted to take it to the rugby game but wasn’t allowed, so I’m looking after it.
FINISHING UNIVERSITY. Well, at least the semester. I’m so happy, I can finally get busy with all the creative ideas I have!
DJ TV DISKO. Also my Media lecturer, who I adore as both a DJ and teacher. He is so clever and always inspires me. He’s also a Marxist, which is awesome.
GOOD LOOKING BOYS WHO LIGHT MY CIGARETTES IN FANCY WAYS. I met the most good looking boy I have ever seen the other day at a party, and when he tended to my cigarette, he did a little fancy allegro ballet dance lol, which was so cute I asked for his number!
COSMIC CORNER SUNGLASSES. They have the coolest range of sunglasses at such good prices, I just had to have two pairs hehe
TiLT
The anticipation of leaving for Europe in 30 days
New houndstooth leggings
My husband = who rocks my world
Listening to Manowar and feeling like nothing bad can ever happen to me
friends and vegetarian lasagne
early nights in bed snuggling
Bad dreams that teach you something about who you are
Being Wuved
My new blog!
Being able to see the world in a way no one else can
Helping a friend to make a positive choice in his life
French pastries for breakfast
** My doggy eating his oats every morning ** Walking around the shops for hours taking photos of my bf and I trying on silly hats and glasses ** Finding a major bargain ** Wearing pretty things in my hair ** Hair cuts creating a new level of confidence ** Buying tiny tiny baby clothes for my sister ** My cat trying to hump my dog (ahaha) ** When it is so foggy you can barely see in front of you ** The Electric Blanket on 3 ** Waxing my boyfriends body parts (eh) ** Crossing my fingers that dad’s cancer results are ok today
mine is here bexlyell.blogspot.com/
it includes warm chunky scarves, anticipation butterflies, vodems, electric blankets and not using capital letters.
p.s. gala, i love the dish. you two are gorgeous!
“favorite people brigade”
Excellent phrase! I think I must steal it!!
-The Cheshire Strawberry Festival. Amazing strawberry shortcake (which is basically a scoop of cut strawberries in sugar water over half a biscuit and slathered in whipped cream) as well as antiques and accessories—I got not one, but two adorable hats as well as my newest favorite thing: a complete tea set for four. It’s all white and gold china painted with purple violets, and the best thing was it was only fifteen dollars. I picked up another really cute teacup, too.
-Music swaps, late-night IM conversations, exploring old abandoned estates that I never knew were so close to my house before, finding toy whales in the street, my dog, folding paper stars, the most glorious umbrellas at H&M that I had to buy two of because I couldn’t pick one, Maison Ikkoku by Rumiko Takahashi, tea parties, cooking again, baking chocolate chunk cookies, drawing manga at the library, drafting pencils, postcards, and rainy evenings with a cup of tea, a puppy dog, and a sketchbook.
Magical bartenders, snow cone shots, taking dinner to my grandparents, modeling my new bikini for my beloved, Erase and Rewind by the Cardigans, unattainable just-for-fun crushes :)
this week was so great.
patrick wolf gig last night (!!!), wikipedia-ing, giraffes, my new bedroom, feeling free, my new kitten, school being done, composing music, i got a notebook (sounds minute but is required for survival), violins, jogging in lush wooded areas with convenient paths where nobody can see you, plastic flowers, libraries, upcoming haircuts, glitter, sparkly miscellanea, free baked goods which were delicious, realizing i don’t need loads of money to have a good summer.
there’s more probably.
I’m having an amazing Thursday!
Things I’m lovin:
+ Signed the lease and put down the security deposit for my apartment today!!!!!
+ Having to step up on someone’s steps to give my boyfriend a hug
+ Celebrating with CANDY, beer and Wine!
+ Coming up with decorating ideas for my new place!
+ My fat kitty (baby beluga)lost weight and can lick her own butt, again! haha…trust me this is good because it means I don’t have to chase her around the house with a wet rag anymore!
P.S. Gala, my boyfriend asked if I had a crush on you. I said yes.
I always wait anxiously for your things I love thursday. I did my own on my blog today 100% inspired by you!
Things I love Thursday!
* Thursday!! Yup giving some love for the day! Ah Thursday. Sweet sweet Thursday. When I get to you I know the end is near and that makes me happy. I always liked Thursday nights. As a kid it meant packing for Dad’s house on Friday. It was also the night my family always went out to eat. It changed over the years. Sometimes it was Pizza sometimes Thai.
*Blogs! OMGAH I can’t get enough of blogs. I read them on the T, on the couch, walking places (yeah should stop that) basically everywhere. I have googlereader full of them and bookmarked on my iphone.
Check some of my favorites in the links at on the right.
*iPhone. I KNOW I talk about it a lot. But I mean who doesn’t talk about their lover a lot? Honestly. Its my best friend. My link to the world. My link to my family who are all in different states.
* Twitter. I can’t believe I have had an account for two years already. Only recently did I have more than 3 people to follow on their though! It helps my inner blurter. Soothes her when she needs to yell something.
*Lets keep up on the tech train. Google Reader. The ONLY way to keep up with websites and blogs. Also the sharing feature. Instead of mailing your friends 1289 links of things you think they would like, just add them to your share list. The comment feature is so fun too. I originally set it up to share with dave as I was emailing him 12 times a day with links to kitten pictures. This way he can check them when he has the time. He likes to save them up and do a bunch at once.
Oh my goodness, I must have that… scooter? Tiny cute wheeled thing! It’s amazing. Also, hell freakin’ yeah to taco night! They are, truly, the nectar of the gods. When made right, anyway, ha.
Things I’m lovin’:
~Real badasses
~Calls out of the blue from cute boys
~Snakebite piercings
~Friends who look out for you
~Summer smoothie concoctions
Learning bass, summer break, bunnies, graduation, BBYO (uhh greatest thing ever), whinnie the pooh cell phone charms, fuzzy slippers, back handsprings, my dad, getting motivated, meeting new people, salads, colorful photographs, really great remixes of songs I love, boys who pick me up & carry me around, and volunteering. Happy weekend!
& also, I love when people’s awesome lingo rubs off on me, and spending an entire day baking adorable cakes with my sister who I never spend time with. we made a vegan carrot cake and a rainbow lemon cake! =D Happiness!

Things I’m loving this Thursday:

> The smile that a runner makes at another run when passing him/her on the street

*~> Finding out that I can cook awesome meals for dinner
*~> Finding the perfect color for my toenail polish
*~> Sitting on a blanket at the park, reading a book
*~> Laughing with my friends at work
*~> Seeing the babies that my cat Simpson just had like 2 days ago!! They are adorable!
-Using the phrase “improvtastic weirdo” in a formal essay, & knowing that the teacher likes me enough that I probably won’t get in trouble for it.
-Practicing piano & taking breaks to mess around on my ukulele. I love my musical life.
-Getting my piano exam over & done with. I got a 66, but I don’t even care, I’m SO happy it’s finished & I no longer have to play diminished 7th chords & baroque sonatas.
-Going over to someone’s house & having them say to you, “Make yourself at home! Would you like to take a nap?” & then taking a nap on their basement couch & later being awakened by a tiny toddler cooing your name. Seriously. So good.
-Toddlers in general. I think they are god’s vessel. They say things that are so wise, raw, honest, true, simple, lovely, & adorable. They are far better people than most adults.
-Getting cute people to sign my yearbook.
-Performing my songs in front of people I genuinely respect, like my english teacher, older cousin, or voice coach.
-Making a huge list of things to do over the summer, from reorganizing my room to buying a new ukulele to learning new hula hoop tricks. I’m a true Taurus but I definitely had a Virgo moment there.
-Realizing I can no longer call myself an atheist, & then writing a little essay about my spirituality, which may not be conventional but makes so much more sense to me than any organized religion ever has.
-Writing a song with my best friend called “There Ain’t No Sense In Frownin’.” I played my ukulele, she played her Celtic lap harp, we sang harmonies, & it was a grand old time.
-Putting on a knit hat over my huge headphones & sitting on my deck while rain poured down. It was strangely freeing.
-Being struck by inspiration on the walk home at dusk, such that I had to sit down on some nearby steps & write out an entire new song before it left my mind.
-Crazy realistic, romantic, exciting dreams about my crush, from which I wake up smiling.
-Ridiculous accessories. Basically, anything remotely silly, whimsical, or outlandish, and preferably spooky.
-Eating cornbread for breakfast. Delicious.
-Seeing 3 celebrities in one day on a totally random trip to my old neighborhood.
-Playing with adorable puppies through the glass of a pet store.
-Candy. I wasn’t much of a fan until I had some for my birthday, now I like them again. Particularly Jelly Belly Sours (delicious).
-Mint chocolate chip ice cream. This tastes so good, I can’t believe I overlooked it when I was younger!
-Ice cream in general. I might try a new ice cream flavor once a month every month, for fun.
-Peanut butter, especially in peanut butter and banana sandwiches. I’ve written a lot about food in this TiLT, but I recently had sweets after a long time of not eating them and remembered how nice they can be.
- My “zombie” multicolored hair.
- The Dead Kennedys!!
-All the rain we’ve been having in New York lately. It’s fun to wade in, and to sit at the window and look at the gloominess.
-Seeing Henry Rollins talking on TV. He’s so funny and charismatic.
-Imagining what I would fill up sketchbooks with while drooling over them in Borders.
-Reading TiLTs.
*walking to and from biotech each day, even in the rain *going out to lunch w/ friends and crashing at jackson hole *SURPRISE birthday parties planned by awesome friends *sweet emails *biotech. surprisingly. *writing. nyc prep *sleeping. lots of it. *actually wanting to read at philomel assembly *walking in the rain. *wonderful pictures of wonderful friends *mango smoothies *the incredible stupidity of *new museum. *Bones. *

My TiLT:
Hanging with my best cousin again. It has been forever since I last saw her, can’t wait for Saturday!
Sunos opening by my house! It is my favorite. Grand opening party tomorrow night!
The kitten. I’m not suppose to like it. I’m not allowed to. But it is so damn cute! It is super fluffy and has no tail. Does it get cuter than that?
Making money. Pay day is so close! There are so many things I’ve been waiting to buy.
My mom. She really is the best, no joke.
Cookie Sundaes. Having a girlfriend that works at an ice cream shop has its perks.
This has to be the best thing ever! It’s turned into something of a NZ phenomenon
www.scarywashingmachine.com/th…
- suddenly realising that my heart doesn’t feel so broken any more; time really does heal.
- baking upside down peach cake, then….
- ... gobbling up upside down peach cake lathered in double cream, mmmm…
- super chocolately hot chocolate on a cold, rainy, windy winter’s night
- lazy Sunday nights at the cinema. This time, it was Sunshine Cleaning. Such an easy to watch, feel-good movie; and how brilliant are Amy Adams and Emily Blunt?! These girls will win Oscars one day fo’ sho’.
- my friend popping in for a visit, for no reason, then opening a 12-year-old bottle of shiraz that I gave him 7 years ago! I wrote on it that he should save it for a special time. No time more special than “just because you’re my friend and I love you!” Awwww. And: yuuuuuummmmm…..
- John Brack exhibition, what an amazing artist; the ballroom dancing paintings are my favourites, with skirts that billow across the canvas like enormous, marshmallow-y, fluffy bird plumes
- rocking out on the inside at work, headphones tightly locked on, to hot, hot, hot, hot, hot, hot tunez. Links are too long to put here, but I have ‘em on my blog. For a taster, search your fave music site for Wolfgang Gartner – Wolfgang’s 5th Symphony
the Bounce Low (John Marr) remix. And turn up the volume LOUD.... :)
OK, Hank Williams is a great name for a dog and that ring is magnificent!
My casette necklace. I found it randomly in a jewelery store I frequent. I absolutely love it, and I always want an excuse to wear it! Picture:

- Emiliana Torrini & Regina Spektor filling my house with beautiful music;
- My two year old Godson, whilst taking him to our fishpond at night, I said “It’s too dark! We can’t see them!” so he toddled off into the house and came back with a flashlight!! Genius or what?! Also his cute “Wow…pish!” at the lit-up fish :) Cutest ever.
You should see The Mighty Boosh live, so amazing!

Fabulous guy friends
Being done with all my exams!
Greatly deserved new clothes
How my bunny is becoming more attached to me every day..so cute!
Green Day’s new album,
Birthday parties
Watching hilarious videos from last summer – great memories :)
Having half days at work so I can lie in; sorting out boxes in my room and finding a box of shoes that I forgot I had; watching code geass for the 8th time and still loving it; COFFEE!; hayfever finally settling down to just a constant runny nose rather than regular explosions of sneezes; finding some leopard print slouch boots; AMERIKA IN ONE MONTH!; newly washed and straightened hair extensions; amusing lyrics in the non-radio friendly version of Lily Allens ‘It’s not fair’ that I never realised were so silly; giving most of my clothes to charity by the method of giving them a voice – “Hello, I am an ugly jumper and my holes tell people my owner is a scruffball”; unexpected calls from best friends
-Sunbathing with my dog-although she does so everyday, at exactly 10 a.m. (the barking is ridiculous if I don’t let her out), it was my first time with her. Love all the vitamin D and relaxation.
-Laughing at something really funny after being depressed the whole day.
-Trying to relearn how to blow bubbles with three pieces of chewing gum.
-Letting your imagination run wild.
-Realizing that not all you imagine is out of reach.
-Touching my head to my knee for the first time. Thank you Rodney Yee!
After about three solid weeks of severe anxiety, I’m struggling to find some happy things. But anyway:
-Giovannnniiii Ribisssiiiii. Oh my god. I don’t care if he’s only an inch taller than me, 15 years my senior and a bit of a crazy scientologist. I have such a crush.
-Coffee with new friends who share music tastes with you and are hilarious and wonderful.
-Gummy bears.
-Twin Peaks
-Skins.
-Warm beds.
-Eating scones with rhubard jam. Mmmm.
