Every now and then when I'm on my own and I've hit that zen moment, I am transported back there.

My legs hanging out of the door of the train, paper cup of chai in hand, alone with the sunrise as we roar through the jungles of Kerala.

Favourite Place

Reason to live in Queensland #1: Beautiful Winter days!






(Explains my insurmountable phobia of submerged rocks!)




This was always my favourite place as a child and is still probably my most loved beach. Admittedly, I have a strong sentimental attachment to this piece of paradise however it's appeal is a bit of a no-brainer really (please refer to photographic evidence above).


It was my first time here in years without my dog who we lost over a year ago. It was his favourite place too. These pics are for you, Mookie x

'It does you good to be tenants. It reminds you of your true position in the world. A house should be a home, a privilege, not a possession. It's foolish to get attached.'

Wow.

Active Child - Hanging On

They played this last week as Triple J's fresh pick of the day or whatever and it's already becoming massive. Such an amazing, beautiful track. So much love.

Wayward Television Habits

I am so addicted to The Block right now it's kind of beyond a joke. Especially because I don't really understand why. It's really not that entertaining or dramatic, it's a lot of rehash/replay and laced with constant bang-in-your-face product placement and I am hardly into renovating!

Perhaps it's taking my mind off the fact I am... UNEMPLOYED!!! Gah. I am such a jobsearch fail right now. Boo.

Never corner a scared animal. They have no idea that you could be trying to help them. They will assume only that you mean harm.

Triple J Hottest 100 Australian Albums of All Time

One of the things that makes me feel all patriotic is any Triple J Countdown and even moreso when it's all about Australian music. If I had to choose one country only to listen to their stuff, I'd choose the land downunder for sure. And I'm not being biased - promise!

I loved listening to the Hottest 100 Australian Albums of All Time. I felt so excited and proud when Silverchair's Frogstomp was awarded second place. And although I do agree that Powderfinger's Odyssey Number Five was a well-deserved number one, I would have switched them around if it was up to me. I thought Frogstomp was going to get the top spot for sure.

I wanted to be in the front courtyard at Edward Street with Nicole, Mitch, and Jas (before awkward tension between the trio) and anyone else who could truly appreciate the moment for the opening notes of "Waiting for the Sun" and to be able to sing along uproariously to "My Happiness". Yes, I know I just said I wanted/thought Frogstomp would be number one, but Odyssey really is a true masterpiece. (Oh yeah, I secretly thought Internationalist would chart higher too).

Such a great countdown and it's making me revisit a lot of stuff from my highschool music heyday when my CD collection was my everything. So many amazing albums!

Packed!

It's a quarter past two in the morning and I am finally going to bed. Talk about leaving things until the very last minute- my sister's husband who is my friendly removalist is arriving at approx 9am and I started packing oh, about four hours ago!

I'll leave the cleaning for the morning, yeah? Ok!

I wonder when this is going to sink in?!
