i am feeling immensely better today. i woke up and felt sun on my face. my lovely newish skirt miraculously no longer reeked of smoke, beer, and sweaty dancing men. here's a list of things that make me happy:
making up lyrics when i can't figure out what they actually are.
case in point... i love, love, love "decepticon" by le tigre, but could not for the life of me figure out what the hell she was yelling about during that catchy, catchy chorus. until quite recently, i was proudly singing along with "hey, cheeky Mao with the bomb-a-lom-a-lom! hey cheeky Mao with the rama-lama-ding-dong!" i now know the correct lyrics.
my outfit today. the other day, while cleaning out my closet, i stumbled across an old pair of Lee jeans. i used to be a major supporter of baggy jeans and have since rethought my fashion philosophy. so i cut up those stupid jeans into a lovely skirt and have worn it twice already. add my sueded black boots, a white t-shirt and oversized bead garland wrapped round my wrist and you've got a recipe for stylistic success. oh yeah and top it off with my strawberry lip marker and surprisingly smooth hair... huzzah! so yeah, i feel really hot today and my mood was only reinforced by Blondie's "Atomic" coming up on my mix on the way to work.
seeing cute cowboys at taint.
i completely love this little new guy at work with british rock star hair (complete with scenester sideburns) and a marked propensity for wearing cowboy shirts and skinny jeans to work. and i was pleasantly surprised to see him dancing herky jerkily at taint on sunday night and singing along to depeche mode. lovely!
that scrumptious dinner with beau and jamie in london. jamie is a lovely girl and beau, of course, rocks my world. his culinary skills were absolutely amazing - that was the most delicious salmon ever! thanks, man!
being busy. i'm one of those people with a very busy mind, so it really helps calm me down when i have a lot of stuff to do. i've definitely got a lot of work to do to get my room in order and i have oodles of creative projects i've been meaning to get to. now i have time! got a few t-shirts in the works. another idea for a painting (they are few and far between, but i usually really like them when i finally make one). haven't written anything creative in a while, and i don't feel like you can force that, but i did take up my journal again. that always makes me feel better!
sitting in Parisian cafes alone and being mistaken for a frenchwoman on the train.
i love being in public places alone and i love people watching. what better place to people watch than a cafe on a busy street in Paris in the springtime. that was a lovely trip and i can't wait to venture out into europe again. ambling along cobblestone streets in montmartre, tearing off pieces of baguette. even the grafitti is more beautiful in paris. mmm, next chance i get, i'm totally going. and italy too. and spain - valencia perhaps.
pete doherty's accent.
haha - also listened to some libertines this morning and during "what became of the likely lads" i realized that i love pete's accent enough to overlook his raging crack addiction and just enjoy his tunes.
tom's jaunty faux hawk. i love that he's kept up his faux hawk, months after he left the UK. it totally fits his face and brings all the boys to his yard.
