I see that the new last.fm has gone live and to a less than warm welcome. Personally I really like the new look, especially the library function. My profile looks nice with the visual of the most listened artists in my library. (I know I'm being a bit obnoxious with the links but it comes from a place of love - and vanity). The new look has inspired me to look into some new music so currently I'm downloading a couple of new things, the first - Zero 7 - was recommended to me by Truth when I was telling him about last.fm. He thinks I'll like them so I'm excited. The second came from my last.fm recommendations page. According to last.fm I should like pop artist and DJ, Annie, because I love Dragonette, The Knife, Junior Senior, M.I.A., The Ting Tings and Cut Copy. So we'll see how that goes. At least it will give me something to come back and write about after I've listened.

Other news is that US Project Runway has started again and someone who has my complete admiration has uploaded the first episode to youtube already. So far Shay and I hate the Seattle guy (I've told Shay I won't judge his city on this guy), Blayne. Blayne looks like Gollum fell into a tin of orange paint, he also seems to think that appending the suffix -licious onto words distracts us from the fact that his model looked like she was wearing an old nappie. I also hope not to see much of Suede, he refers to himself in the third person which is unfortunate as his name is Suede. Maybe sharing a name with a fabric makes you some sort of material-whisperer? As I couldn't really remember what his dress looked like I doubt it. Also, his profile picture shows a little bit of hairy belly skin because his "tough guy" stance has hiked up his t-shirt.

I do love that they returned to the scene of PR's very first challenge - remember when Austin Scarlett one with a cute dress made out of corn husks? Austin himself was the guest judge, he really should be on more TV shows. Kelli's dress won and I agree with the judge's choice, she was the most creative with the grocery store materials  - especially those hook-and-eye closures made from the spirals of a notebook. I loved the look of Kenley's dress and it looks like we may end up <3ing her.

Lots of my avatar in this month's Second Style Magazine. I'm just that hot right now.
Read it here.

I'm taking the train to mum's this evening. I'll be in Hervey Bay from tonight until Thursday morning. I'll hopefully be able to install PhotoShop on her computer so I can keep working while I'm there - fingers crossed. If not I'll get stuck into some writing and just catch up my work hours when I get home - diet coke will help with that.

I might have time for another entry before I leave but if not - see you in the bay!

...make him the cutest that I've ever seen.

Yesterday, whilst rather busy, was not particularly productive. By productive I'm referring to me make any in-roads into the assignments I have due tomorrow:
+ A 10 minute short film script. (10 Pages) - Media Writing.
+ A folio of my work from this semester and my edited short story. - Intro to Creative Writing.
+ A City Council response to creative project proposal. (2000 words) - Creative Industries (the core-unit from hell).

Yesterday morning I awoke bright and early to catch a bus into the city, I had a 9.30am appointment to have a style-cut by student hairdressers. The cut looks good (I have what esckey always used to refer to as my "Emily the Strange" haircut - this was just his way of saying that I had a fringe) however I wasn't able to leave until almost 1pm. The student - Rachel - had to have the cut checked by the instructor every step of the way and the whole thing had to start with a pop quiz as to what type of hair I had. I've had about 20cm cut of it, it feels nice.

Dylan stayed at home in bed when I left but he was up when I came home. He was playing his best character on World of Warcraft. If you haven't already played this MMPORPG (Massive Multi-player Online Role Playing Game) you really should avoid it - it's highly addictive and can waste away entire days and nights. It is an especially bad idea if you're trying to say do a course at university. You have been warned.

In the evening I dragged Dylan out to the first ever public reading of Vox Barbara - the student guild affiliated creative writing collective of which I am a member. Our special guests were John Birmingham and Alistair Duncan. The majority of the readers were really good and after a slow start Dylan managed to enjoy himself even though it wasn't really his scene. The reading was at the Good Knight Bar, downstairs from the International House of Pancakes; Dylan and I ordered Nachos. Dylan and I waited for Nachos. Some time later Dylan and I ate cold Nachos.

This morning my first ever package from e-bay arrived. Its a really nice red shirt, I'm expecting more tomorrow and on Monday. I like how this shirt feels against my skin, so very soft, it has pin-tucking and white lace trim on the yoke.

Dylan will be leaving soon, I will be writing assignments. It is set to be quite a flat day and I can not imagine much at all happening.
