Just a minute... July

Watching... Flight of the Conchords. Mondays on SBS at 9pm. 
Reading... Dracula by Bram Stoker for English Lit. I'm not usually one to get emotionally involved with novels, but this one is seriously freaking me out. A couple of times when I have been reading in bed late at night I have had to put the book down because I got too scared! Haha. It is very well written.
Listening... to Edith Piaf. She makes a really good study buddy.
Missing... Wellington house parties. I have many fond memories of rugging up against the chilly Wellington weather, going to house parties and warming up with dancing, laughter and drinking.
Wanting... to go to the Mountains. I've never been to the snow before, can you believe it? The MTV Snow Jam is this Thursday at Falls Creek, where Cut Copy are DJing for free. If only I could go!
Hoping... to find a part-time job at either a music store or fashion boutique.

Just a minute in June

Watching... Sex & the City. No matter what the situation is, there is always a quote from Sex & the City that is relevant.
Reading... How Language Works by David Crystal and the new No magazine. 
Listening... Primary Colours by the Horrors. They've stepped in a completely new direction and I'm not sure how this is possible, but I think I love Primary Colours more than Strange House. Primary Colours proves that they are talented musicians, not just a bunch of well dressed men (as excited as I was by their debut, I always wondered if they would be more than just a fad). Question, on the American release is it called 'Primary Colors'?
Making... plans for the holidays. I want to do everything and nothing.
Wanting... to spend my days talking to interesting people, playing with words and listening to music.
Promising... to be more careful with my money next time.

Just a minute... May

(Florals, red hair and cupcakes. These are a few of my favourite things)

Watching... Family Guy. It will never get old.
Reading... Through the Looking Glass by Lewis Carroll and Stasiland by Anna Funder.
Listening...The new Ouch My Face EP, my favourite discovery from Camp A Low Hum. While it would be impossible to beat their fuckin' ace live show (where their singer Celeste almost vomited three times!!), their EP is great for turning up loud and falling in love with Celeste 'cause she's so darn cool. Ouch My Face are having their EP release party this Saturday at the Tote.
Making... Friends and journalism contacts and lots of secret projects, which you will find out about later!
Wanting... Someone to offer me a job where I can write all day, go to gigs at night and get sent free clothes. Anyone?
Promising... To visit.
