A reflection of my week..

Spent with swine flu, Hamlet, my mother and one fantastic Nikon D60...

the black and white is a bit of a reflection too - everything seems colour-free at the moment, it's sort of as if school is dictating my existence - which, i suppose for a grade 12 student in term 3, is how it should be. Hmm...

But some things that are on this week that you most definitely should know about as they've had the shit advertised out of them is the Easton Pearson exhibition at GoMA, Pamela Easton and Lydia Pearson are doing a talk tomorrow, with the curator Miranda Wallace - something worth going to as you rarely get to hear them talk, it's at 3pm and i shall be there too. The other fashion thing you should know about is the InFashion exhibition at MoB (city hall), it's on till 29th of November, so there isn't really an excuse for anyone not to go - clothes from

Anyhow, i'm a bit tired - last night i hit this Chinese restaurant with the galllss, also did some shopping and took some photos and met up with a friend for a maccas feast (we only really had drinks, but yeah) - so i might go sleep, or go do some schoolwork - probably the sleep option.

Here are some of the photos from the last few days, last night included - enjoy :)

everything was better in the 70's

It was my mother who first got me onto The Clash. She saw them in the 70's in Brisbane, then a couple of years later when she was living in London. I've totally been raiding her music collection at the moment and yesterday came across some old 4zzz compilations, sex pistols, bananarama (lol), some 90's Ben Lee, "the best hits of the 70's" (x2 lol!!) and Combat Rock by The Clash. A few weeks prior i dug out London Calling, and you can't really can't find anything more creatively fused than this record...


So what i was going to say was, Tuesday is The Clash tribute at The Trobadour. Would love to go but for three reasons i can't - i'm not yet of legal age, i'm going to a formal anyway (the joys of twelfth grade) and thirdly my mother and her crazy mates are going..


Only heard of a couple of the bands - Honey Month - heard a few of their songs. And who hasn't heard of YKB... they've got to be the most played band from this town at the moment. Please go in my honour, or at least, in The Clash's.


ps. changing the name of the blog now, comments, complaints, queries?


Noone even reads this blog so i'm sure the number will be limited.
