nom nom nom that was tasty.
Lately, i've been feeling as though I should reinstate the purpose of my blog. I've been feeling a little bit self conscious and shy because I know a number of you readers are friends of mine! I know that's a little silly, but sometimes I feel like I am almost inclined to begin a conversation with one of you within my entry, haha. I felt as though I had forgotten that this blog is simply a way for me to record my life so that in the future I can look back here and see what I have created, what i've seen and how i've felt. It is a personal blog, but I've given the link out so that you friends can see what's been happening, too! : )
Anyway, yes.
I've only just realised how much I enjoy crossing in the park at night to get to my house. It's so lovely to be able to look up at the clouded and starry sky without seeing buildings. The air is crisp too. There is a great tree with a single park bench underneath it. Earlier in the year the leaves were such a light green. Now they are slowly falling to the ground. I love how the fallen leaves fill the entire ground beneath the trunk. A huge and complete circle of orange and brown leaves.
Yesterday, I spent the day at the Finders Keepers market. I had a super enjoyable day. The space near Vic's store was constantly busy with people buying coffees and hot chocolate and, consequently, we had frequent groups of people coming over. I was a little bit nervous at the start of the day because it has been quite a few years since I've worked at a market! But as the day went on I felt more and more comfortable. Vic and I got into a really good routine. Towards the end of the day we reached "insane-o'clock" - the last hour of the day. We were both completely exhausted. Vic kept wanting to check the time on her iphone and I kept joking that I would throw it across the room if she looked. (She looked like three times, hahaha) each time I would be like, "NO, VIC, NO!". The day went super successfully!
On my way home I stopped by Loving Hut to get some vegan food and I ran into Mark (architect guy who works in the same space as where I intern with Vic) I must have given him a fright because he literally forgot everything he wanted to order. It was pretty awkward to see him, but it was also really nice because I don't get to talk to him much while working.
When I got home, I received some happy messages from lovely Lizabeth who I miss so very very much. : ) She is one of my best friends, I can't wait to see her in June and maybe have a music day where we just play piano, guitar and sing songs together.
A couple of days ago I was looking at random books in the library and I found the most beautiful book on Italian hill towns. I think that's what the book is called too... But wow. I want that book and also to visit these places, ahhhh so beautiful.
This morning, I tried to do some stuff. I don't know what for. I'm hoping that it will somehow relate to my history essay and the short film I am attempting to do for it. I still don't know what my essay topic is but I'm trying not to think too much about it or I will freak out... And that is not what I want to do.

I had breakfast with the Pandas and the other SSCC girlies - Yasmin and Valaya - at the Auction rooms. We discussed what we planned to do for the exhibition coming up at the end of the week!
yummy breakfast- banana and walnut bread with espresso butter
After the lovely breakfast I went to ACMI to see William Kentridge - Five Themes
writing notes
I was actually blown away about how awesome the majority of his films were. A number of them reminded me of Maya Deren's films. I think my heart actually was beating faster the whole time I was in the exhibition. His process and the outcomes were fantastic. I was just.... in awe and I loved the films where he used charcoal and then a single blue colour. The colour became so so powerful and beautiful. I also loved a whole bunch of his other films, so people in Melbourne you should definitely go see this!
goooooo noooowwww.
Afterwards, I wandered to the Pandas' temporary studio. I walked up a long flight of stairs to reach the penthouse. It was an old building but I the interior was super super interesting. My camera ran out of battery so I couldn't spend much time at all taking photos, and I didn't get any good shots of what I wanted to take photos of! Rahhh. I thought the shower space was super interesting. It reminded me of one that I saw in the Italian Hill Towns book I read earlier in the week. So I suppose that made me like it more! Haha. I spent a lot of time outside on the roof. The sun was setting and I was keen on watching the colours of the sky change.
