It’s one of my favourite smells in the world. I only wish milk and tea tasted like it smells.
(It’s also one of my favourite thngs to witness - pouring milk into tea and watching the clouds form and billow in the liquid. I must take...

procrastination
It’s 3 in the morning, I’m eating seaweed, and find myself seriously contemplating getting a MacBook Pro (again - well, Powerbook at that time). Oh and I haven’t forgotten about those lenses either. Anything to distract me from the monstrous amount of packing I have to do tomorrow really.
It’s 2 in the afternoon, I’m wallowing in bed listening to the Cocteau Twins,...

on repeat
I know I’ve said this before, but Roxy Music’s Avalon is definitely one of my favourite albums of all time. It is just so lush. Some review described it as panoramic, and I wholeheartedly agree. Due to the heavy synthesizers, it is in many ways very 80s, but it’s not dated at all. It’s my perfect summer days and nights album, although it’s still at the top of the pile...

and this is why 80% of women and i do not get...
Woman (sarcastically): I'm sorry, I'm such a bitch.
Man: Hmm...
Woman: You think I'm a bitch, don't you?
Man: I didn't say that.
Woman: You didn't disagree with me.
Man: You know yourself better than I do.
Woman: I can't believe you called me a bitch.
Man: I didn't call you a bitch, you called yourself a bitch.
Woman: But you didn't tell me I'm not a bitch.
Man: Because you're acting like a bitch.
Woman: See? You think I'm a bitch!
Man: I said you were acting like a bitch.
Woman: Whats the difference?
Man: Dustin Hoffman acted like a retard, but it doesn't mean he is one.
Woman: I don't know what that's supposed to mean, but you're a dick for thinking I'm a bitch.
Man: Do you mean I'm acting like a dick or I am a dick?
Woman: Fuck you! (storms out)
Man: Too easy. Caramel Macchiato please!
