Here's a picture of me doing it rough. If you're the voyeuristic type (and I know you are) then you're most welcome to view the entire holiday album on imagestation.com as soon as I put it up there which should be in a few days.
But for now I'm sick of talking about Bali and I can't be bothered blogging about it just yet. It all gets too overwhelming when one has actual events to blog about instead of just empty prattle. Pfft! Details! who can be fucked? And then there's getting everything in the right order or making sure that you haven't made half of it up or hallucinated parts of it without realizing. Not going there, nup up, NO.It's more fun to talk about how exciting it is getting ready for the first week of uni.
Mmm new stationary, new bag perhaps, new enthused attitude and presumption that I will be really studious this year and not be distracted by partying, boys and too much new stationary.
The trip to office works is just as exciting as it was when i was ten, except this time I don't have to make up elaborate lies to Dad as to why I need scented glitter crayons and mini stampers for school. No justifying, just-a-buying! Ahhh Officeworks it's the stationary buyers Priceline.
Mmm Priceline. I got this sunscreen there that is coconut scented 30+ that you spray onto your skin. It's the most fun ever and it probably improved my Bali holiday by at least 50%. Not that I want to talk about Bali. Lucy and I doused ourselves in it everyday we were there and sometimes it looked alot like a porno with white stuff dribbling down our chests as we rubbed it into each other clad only in bikinis. We made a movie about it*
Have you noticed the bright colours in this post yet? No?! Don't be a smart arse you know you did. Anyway it's because I was inspired by the Howard Arkley exhibition I saw today. It was a true feast for my eyes as I browsed the giant, bright canvases. I had to restrain myself from actually frolicking through the gallery I was so happy in the colour orgy that was his paintings.
It was fun standing really close the the blurred lines of the sprayed canvas and tricking your eyes into thinking you were wasted. That's one word for it, TRIPPY. But not in a lame, tie dye sort of way but in a shocking colour and amazing texture sort of way. The way he makes dirty lounge-rooms look glorious and brick fences and shrubs so beautiful you can't take your eyes off them. It's well worth seeing if you can race in before this Sunday when it ends. Just don't do what Chox did and go when you're coming down and have had barely slept. You don't want to be there with extremely light-sensitive pupils.

I'd form an intelligent response to your prose but as I'm male, I'm still distracted by the whole sunscreen episode.
Edit: No movie? BOO! I want my money back. Meanwhile I will settle for the photo album, so get uploading Svetto.
Glitter crayons and back to school shopping. I can totally relate. I just bought the regular crayons this year though(I wish I could say I was kidding)...
Yes. Officeworks. While some of us appreciate the convenience, cheapness and air conditioned luxury of officeworks, others love it in a much more visceral way.
Example: Citizane Cane.
Chox: 'Do you like Officeworks?'
Citizen Cane: 'Oh yeah. I love it. Officeworks makes me hard.'
So that's why the pages of my Officeworks catalogue were stuck together...

Officeworks truly is a glorious temple, a shimmering treasure-trove, an awe-inspiring world of wonder.
For my part, I haven't bought back-to-school supplies, yet, but I have bought a miniature portable radio that is shaped like Hello Kitty’s head. It has pink ear buds. You scan the frequencies with her eyes. It is quite possibly the most awesome thing I have ever bought. It’s up there with my Picasso wall-clock and John Malkovich action-figure.
