I just went to the bathroom at work.
Two of my colleagues (male) came out of the mens toilets. One was red faced, sweating, and clutching a paper bag. The other had a giant pair of red rubber gloves (industrial ones) in his hands.
I wonder what they were up to?
hehehehehehehe.......
Speaking of.... My friend wants to get there for her birthday on Friday (she hasnt been since August last year), but after the horrible night I had in February I am trying to talk her out of it. Is anyone even contemplating on going tomorrow? I just cant do be surrounded by skanky swingers again, watching Flygirl and Mark (gag, gag, gag)...
I iz slow....
This blows my mind.


(thats what the banner says)
And if anyone is looking for yet ANOTHER reason to go to Hellfire this Fri - dont forget its my b'day! hehe... Except Mark and Flygirl from DV8 are performing - ew, yuk...
Opera and Knitting in the Domain on Saturday rocked. We got there 8 hours early (cos we are hardcore), sat through some drizzle and then the sun came out.
4 bottles of wine, one spinach and cheese gozleme and 12 mini dutch pancakes later we had about 20 people with us. It was 'La Boheme', and Musetta rocked (she was a uber-high femme with wicked hair and knee high boots).

I've always loved SteamPunk - when I was an Art student i attempted to make a complete outfit out of paper-mache, meters of tubing, a gasmask, metal scraps, huge skirt and corset. Looked like The Predator meets Le Cirque De Soliel. Not really what I was going for...
But this! This guy is HOT! He's totally rocking my world and I feel the need to visit Pick-A-Part in Blacktown and TotalRubber....
The community is freaking awesome too....

(thats my red skull vest in the bottom of the photo ;D)
Ok, enough of the deep stuff, but I got a new place - yay! Its in Summer Hill, 400m from The Boi and 500m from the train station.
Its ugly 70's on the outside and soul-less on the inside (until I put up all my girly pictures and stuff). 2 bedrooms, internal laundry, small balcony and a lockup garage. A lot of space which is rare in the inner west. The Boi assumes the garage will be his art space ;).
I'm really glad the hunt is over - the rental market is so tight in Sydney at the moment. The Boi and I checked out a place in Enmore, and I swear over 100 people turned up. Crazy!
Everything has just seemed to fall together recently (touch wood!) - finding a place close to The Boi, the date of the move, getting a brand new fridge and dryer (on sale) to be delivered day before I move my stuff in etc. (New appliances are so exciting!)
I kept thinking how I needed a new TV cabinet, and then on the weekend spotted the perfect one in an op-shop. Nice dark wood and probably only a year old. Its one of the cupboard types with the doors that fold back down the sides. Perfect!
All the pieces are coming together so it must be fate....
I'm really glad to be moving - one of my flatmates is a bit patronising and anal retentive and had made it really stressful recently. Too bad his partner and I get on great and could probably live together for ever hehhe... if only he wasnt in the picture ;).
In the crafting front, theres a mega list:
1. Tania's 1960's wedding dress (april)
2. Matching lace wrap to knit for the above (april)
3. My 50's inspired dress for the wedding (april)
3. Lace wrap for my sister for her wedding (aug)
4. 2 pairs of gloves for various birthdays soon (march)
ARGH! Better get my bum into gear as soon as I've moved!
Back from the mysterious sub-continent! Or, back from the weirdest place on earth hehehehe...
The Boi and I had a great time (hy's still there at the Ashram, and will be back next week), it feels a bit bizarre to be back.... I got sick a couple of times (lost some weight yay!), spent a lot of money and saw some amazing stuff!
We saw snake charmers - just like on TV! And got to play with a baby elephant, ride an elephant up to the Amber fort, go on a camel safari....
The Boi got molested by many different cows too hehe... he was a mad cow magnet!
Anyways, here are some pics if anyone wants to see, and i have more at my Flickr account.... ;)
Heres something to remember me by hehe..
