house hunting makes me go mad

Today I tempted myself with a bit of house hunting!

Although I don't know if it does me good or bad.....

Here are my two favourites which makes my heart beat a lot faster than normal!

An old shoe factory and a converted synagogue:

Shoe factory in Hackney

Synagogue in Whitechapel


Too bad they're both over 300,000 fuken quid.

Un-affordable living.

In my dreams.

1LOVEART

On 1LOVEART you can find cheap, or semi-cheap at least, art from up and coming artists.

They got some really good stuff!

DM

Gina

Simon Mills

James Starr

Starchild

3 megabits

cutouts

I found this massive piece of art on the wall by the 'Rootemaster' in Brick Lane. It's been CUT OUT in the wall cement!!

So brilliant.

stik

So this is STIK.

I got this little signed print from him on his last exhibition in Brick Lane.

Unfortunately I couldn't afford any of his bigger stuff, but luckily this was only £5!

I'm moving in with frenchie this weekend.

Cans Festival

finally going

So a ticket was finally booked!

To France.

Or, we're flying in to Barcelona, renting a car, maybe a drive around Spain, and then cross the border to Perpignan where we are staying in a country house.

Niccce.

The idea of going somewhere closer than to Thailand was to save money, but renting a car is apparantly extremely expensive for some reason! The costs just adds up and up and up.... Rediculous really.

Anyway, right now I'm so desperate for a holiday that I almost don't give a damn how much I end up spending on this! But I promised Frenchie this vacation, so it's all on me.

I'm stressed this morning. Don't know why. I need to learn how to relax and stop going through past emotions in my head. They mess up my heart. I always thought I knew so well how to live in the 'now', but apparantly I need to practice.

On another note, I was at a good party this weekend. It ended at an afterparty at 'Ghost' in Farringdon. A very cool place.

Song of the day: Sneaker Pimps

open space

We took a walk yesterday, me and Frenchie, from Shepherds Bush all the way to Tottenham Court Road! It was so nice, hot and sunny; we walked barefoot through Hyde Park, and elbowed our way forward through Notting Hill.

And we bought 4 pairs of sunglasses each once we reached SoHo!

I'm in a very strange head space at the moment. I don't where it's going, and I don't know where I want to go. And I hate feeling like I'm wasting my time by doing things I don't like.

I'm bored.

recently...

There has been.........

• Secret parties under bridges until early morning
  
• Nasty bills


• Travel plans that went to shit


• Lots of loving


• Cats with fleas in a flat which is never clean


• Dreams about converting a warehouse
  
• Dreams about running a gallery

It just gets frustrating..........

being me

I've been bad at writing lately.

But I have a good excuse...

- I'm in love !

How wonderful life can be.

Right now we're looking for a trip to some place exotic.

I wanted to go to Thailand, but seeing the monsoon period starts now, we better not.

So I've narrowed it down to India or Java in Indonesia.

hmm.........decisions......decisions.....

pink

Spent the day in the park today with my frenchman. We played badminton and looked at the nicely pink and white spring trees.

Last night we partied in Acton with a bunch of his friends.

Tonight I decided to stay in and save the money...

Now I'm stuck here with my Nutella, yumyum.....

Hola !

Woaahh.....

Barcelona is amazing and I wanna go back nooow!!

Had a good time with Frenchie, enjoying all life's pleasures.

Maybe too much though as I now have to rush to my bank and put some more money in before they charge me a fortune for spending ALL my money!!

lazpods

Been spending the night listening, and discovering, music.

Found an awesome site with lots of play-time of great music - lazpod.

Also found Imogen Heap. Good girl.

Just need to find a way of getting these new tracks onto my iPod.....

trying.hard.to.find.it

Not a good day. Or week, for that matter.

I should be over the moon that I'm going to Spain on Saturday, but I find it quite hard to find the excitement.

I'm sure it's there somewhere though!

It shouldn't be a big deal to pack for just 2 days away, but how do you choose what clothes to wear for those two very precious days?!

I should raid my closet.....

Brilliance!

All cred to the Sartorialist

I HAVE to post this picture of this brilliant person who put this outfit together!

It is genious.

I have seen noone mention these shoes yet.... and I wonder why?

They are by Alexander Wang and are absolutely gorgeous!

I love shoes with snake skin.

hi-tops

Hell yeah!

- Hi tops are back!!

I'm loving the Reeboks.

tattoos

Went shopping for tattoos in Camden yesterday.

I wanna get some additions to the two I've got.

Sometimes I wish I never got them in the first place. The idea of having a completely natural body is nice. But now when I already got some, I find it difficult to leave a tattoo shop without having a new one done!
