TiLT - 33

Happy Thursday Readers!

Hope you've all had a good week.
Mine's been ok.

Things I'm loving this thursday are:
- My close friends. The ones who I can rely on no matter what. I'm spoilt to have them all, I really am.
- My two dogs, two fish and snail. I love them all also. They're good to me and make me intensely happy.
- Getting back into the routine of going to the gym! I haven't been to the gym since late May, and then my month's memebership thing expired and then uni got insanely busy and then my life in general got insanely busy so I sort of lost track and stopped going. I'm glad to be going again. I enjoy the gym. I like being able to go there and excercise and whatnot. Makes me feel good.
- Phoenix. I've mentioned them before and I'll say it again - I'm obsessed and they're so great to listen to. Aaaah I love music so much.

- MY NEW DRESS. Rachtwin made me a dress yesterday, as a 7 month late birthday present! I love it. It's a tank dress and is black and aqua and aweeesome. It cute and fits like a dream. Love it. Thankyou Rachel!
- Sharing my taste in music with my twin. I have her 2gb of my music the other day. Made me feel good to be able to share my music and have her genuinely like it. It's exciting.
- Honourable mentions: colourful gel pens, being home alone, banana smoothies, making lists and checking things off and drinking lots of water. Water is good.
- Music I've been listening to this week: Phoenix, Guillemots, Cloud Control, Late of the Pier, An horse, Julia Nunes, Say Anything, Does It Offend You, Yeah?, Kisschasy, Whitest Boy Alive, Tokyo Police Club and Ladyhawke. Man I like ALOT of music.

I think that's pretty much it really. I've got alot going on both in my actual life and in my mind right now. Uni to sort out... Need to find a job... Need to empty my computer (I've filled my 140gb internal hard drive! ANNOYING)... and sort myself out in general really.

Happy Thursday!

P.S HAPPY BIRTHDAY SAMMY. Hope you had a good day little one! Congrats on getting your learner's too. Nice work!

Master Chef.

Hello readers!

Today's motto is: When all else fails, bake!
Which is exactly what I did tonight. I've always enjoyed cooking but my recent obsession with Master Chef has spurred me along a bit. Tonight I made black cherry and blackberry puff pastry parsels... just sorta made it up as I went along. I even made custard and dusted the puffs with icing sugar! So tasty (pictured above). Matt preston would have loved them, haha.
I like to cook when I've got the time, so I made time tonight. Mum's proud, cos I can cook so she knows when I eventually move out I won't starve to death, haha.

In other news, I bought some new friends for my fish Reginald on the weekend (pictured above). I bought a new little fantail goldfish, and named him Hugo. He's only about 3cm long haha. Poor Hugo is like a third of the size of Reginald so Reginald likes to push him around a bit. I also bought a sea snail to help clean my tank, which I've named Sidney... maybe one day I'll get a whole tank of fish and name each one after a character from Skins, haha.

Well that's pretty much it for now.
Hope you're all enjoying the week thus far!

TiLT - 32 (Yet again, not actually on a thursday)

Dear Readers,

So another week has rolled by and here we are again, sitting home on a friday night. I was baby sitting til 11pm but never fear, I'm home in my pjs now, all is right in the world.

So, my favourite things from the past week include:

- Power House markets on a saturday morning! Great company in the form of my cousin who I don't see often enough, great fresh food and good coffee... not to mention great weather! perfect way to start the weekend.
- Going out drinking on a saturday night with some of my favourite people (even though I'm broke!). $10 jugs at the Embassy are made of win! Had a good night, twas good to catch up with some of my fave people :)
- Saturday night, as mentioned above, was epic but in a random way. Stayed the night at the twin's, on the couch, twas good even though it was super cold. Spent sunday with the twin and the boy lounging around and eating Maccas. Gold.
- Monday - a catch up day with my Jade and having her do my hair whilst we ate great food and watched Charmed. I'm spoilt.
- Tuesday was Alison's birthday, a great night was had. Three of my favourite people, really tasty food and Scrabble, what more could I want?!
- Wednesday at Alma Park Zoo with my boy. Great day out. Zoo animals, perfect weather and great company. Bliss.
- Thursday at the dog park with Caitey and our bossy dogs. Zerren and Indie acted like they owned the place. Slightly embarrassing but hey, our dogs could kick your dog's butt any day.
- Finally got my RSA today! I can work in a bar or be a waitress now, woo!
- Special mentions: Drinking lots of water, purple nail polish that matches fruit tingles (the drink kind), crisp apples, new music, four hour long chats on facebook with a lovely friend who's in a far away land, my pjs, my lovely dogs, my many, many cameras, compliments from everyone about my new hair cut and colour, insightful conversations with close friends whom I'm very lucky to have, realising I can change things if I want to, red hair dye, bed socks and Master Chef (I'm addicted!).
- Music I've been listening to in the last week: Kisschasy, Something With Numbers, Death Cab, The Paper and The Plane, Fleet Foxes, Band of Horses, Julia Nunes, Fleet Foxes, Placebo, Phoenix, The Shins, Tokyo Police Club and Ladyhawke.
- Some of my favourite photos from the last week have been thrown into this blog too. Enjoy!

Also, please note, I've done something every day since I last wrote a TiLT! Woo!
I'm really trying to get off the internet and live my life more. It's working, to the max, as the last few TiLTs are a testimate to that I think. I've been rather busy doing social things and my RSA and organisting my stuff for uni and whatnot.
Goood times.
Now I just need some regular casual work and I'll be set.

How was your week sailor?
Good I hope!
Louise
