Things I Love Thursday

Going to the cinema to see Avatar & Where The Wild Things Are. Yep this week I went to the cinema twice =D and I'm decided, I'm going to try and get to the cinema at least once a week in Twenty10.

DecoPetit. They're like pens, that have strips of decorated sticky (Sorry the package are in Chinese) They're super cute. They were originally $4.95ea, but I got them for $1 each. YAY!

I get to make Cheesecake and Potato Salad this afternoon for our Christmas Lunch tomorrow. I'm really excited. We're having breakfast with some of dad's friend, then the tradition family lunch. Then I have to go to work (that's not very exciting, but it's only for 2 hours, and it's double pay)

On Monday, I can officially start using my new 2010 Moleskine Diary (even though I've kinda already have) Mum got me some Straedler pens for Christmas, which are currently wrapped up under the tree. So I can't wait to use them.

That's pretty much it for now. I have some more posts to post today, but that's it for Things I Love Thursday, the second last Thursday of 2009 =D

I'm Not a Powerful Speaker!!

Moleskine Tips, Tricks and Hacks

I'm in the process of filling in a selection criteria for a job at the local library. I'm a little stuck so I'm going to get the "guru" ie my mother, to help me when she gets home. I'm not getting my hopes up for this job. Even though it's PERFECT, and I'm pretty much PERFECT for it. It's exactly what I'm doing now, but instead of DVDs it's books. And I need a change =D

Mum and Dad have agreed to let me decorate the living room. We haven't discussed a budget yet, but they're thinking $1000-$1500, but that doesn't include the floors, because they have already allowed for that in the renovation. I'm excited. I'm going to sit down with them and figure out what they want and do it very professionally so I can use it in my portfolio, which is non-existent at the moment.

I can't wait until 2010. My year, The Year of the TIGER.

RAWR!

THE FIRE TIGER 1926 AND 1986
Eccentric and dramatic, Fire Tigers are aglow with passion and verve. They are outgoing, expressive and look on the bright side of things. They have the Tiger’s natural ability to lead others and are able to excite others simply with their own gift of enthusiasm. They can be funny and have great senses of humor. Tigers are powerful speakers and have the ability to command and persuade crowds through speech. Their own seemingly endless supply of energy can make them appear a bit dramatic, and it may make them more sensitive to cautious or down-to-earth approaches in others.

Xmas Rambles

What I want for Christmas (revised)

another Wreck This Journal (my current one is starting to fill up fast)

Pretty pens. Like coloured fine liners. I don't remember what they're called. STAEDTLER triplus 20 pack (I'm going to try and convince my mother to get me these) or these

Stickers are always good. It doesn't even matter what they are.

Books about interior design or just design in general. I'm going into TAFE on the 18th of January to talk the the head lecturer for the Design course. I'm hoping he lets me in the class.

Pantone Colour Bridge Set

Inkheart, Inkspell and Inkdeath by Cornelia Funke (must be in the covers below (couldn't find the covers for Inkheart and Inkspell, but you get the idea)

That's all I can think of at the moment. But it might help those in my life that are having a hard time buying for me.

I went and saw AVATAR today.

OMG.

AWESOME.

That's all I really have to say.

Just go see it!

Create A World

I downloaded The Sims 3 Create a World Tool. It was free and I was starting to get bored of the worlds I had in The Sims, but fuck it's hard to use. I tried to read the help file and that doesn't help me either. Is it just me, or is it really hard to use??? I think I'll just stick to downloading worlds that other people have made.

Also, you may have noticed the lack of photos. Well yeah, I failed the 100th attempt at the 365 Project =( Maybe I'll start again in 2010, which is just under 2 weeks away. I'm really excited, because I'll get to start using my new Moleskine 2010 diary on the 28th December =D I got my first thing in it too. A party on the 28th December for my friends 24th birthday. She's having a funeral for her love life (because she's (her words) "tragically single"), there's one downside, it's dresses for the ladeez and ties for the boys... I haven't worn a dress/skirt since year 8! that's 10 years! But I have a dress. I actually brought it today. I might wear it at Christmas to get used to wearing it. I really don't like dresses, but I promised her =D

A Town Called Panic.

I just found out today that there is a feature length "A Town Called Panic" film being released. I'm not sure when it will be in Australia. But I so excited.

A Town Called Panic is this completely wacky stop motion animation. the characters are, an Indian called Indian, a cowboy called Cowboy and a horse called (you guessed it) Horse. It's weird and strange and wonderful.

There are only a few episodes, but this one is my favourite.

I present. A Town Called Panic, episode "Cow-Hulk"
