Lazy Weekends and Christopher Columbus







Had a lazy weekend today..just because I could..but haven't done anything with it..if there was anything to do on a lazy weekend apart from sleep in 'till three in the afternoon.. don trackies and a supersuper large Newcastle hoodie and not venture out the door unless it's to collect the Meatzza Dominoes pizza with the room mate. Attractive times, I know. But right now, inspite loving the lazy lazy weekend, and being inside not obliged to do anything at all is the nicest thing after a crazy headach-ey week, but I think I'm feeling that a trip t somewhere far away and oddly spelt like. Fiji or ....Paris. That'd do me, I'm pretty simple t please.
Anyway, that's what the globes were about if you were wanting to know. I've decided that I'm not a massive fan of the blue-green purple-y ones that they have in classrooms. Much prefer the vintage yellow ones. Or If someone could give me an exceptionally old school view of the planet like, perhaps. a flat one. Christopher Columubus style. mhmmm. That would be cool, but thinking about it.. It might take up lots of room. and you wouldn't be able to spin it like a proper globe. Back t the drawing board methinks.
But anyway, the POINTT of all this typing out loud, lazy weekend stuff is pretty much that I wouldn't mind spinning the globe and placing a finer on any place that maybe isn't in the middle of the sea and has nice coffee shops and that could maybe speak Latin, so I can put my new found skills into practice. See? I am incredibly easy to please.
Going to go now tho. and be more lazy. Only a eleven-ish more hours of this lazy weekend left.

Peach Colours and Ordering an Elephant Online








Inspired by the peach dress in the Pride and Prejudice shot, I've been flicking through the tumblr sites and have found a new favourite colour. Which, I've come to realise, is all this blog is about.. what my favourite colour is this week ..and how I realise that in my mildly extensive wardrobe there is actually nothing of this colour. I shall have to go look tomorrow. But I realy shouldn't, because I am but a poor poor student, to lowly even to walk into H&M.
Mmm. 'Typing' of being a student.. I'm missing textiles again. Which is just sad, isn't it? But I've been flicking through the short courses on the London College of Fashion website and thinking about taking a course in fashion design.. or illustration- except I can't 'realy' draw. Bleh. I feel so limited. Have so much energy and excitement for these things, but being talentless realy limits you, I find. mm. Must find something I am good at. Like... . ..

.... ... ..

..like eating. I shall eat for a living. But maybe I can't even do that because my flatmate (in jest, I hope:) )told me it was funny when I swallowed. So maybe I won't be able to eat for a living. .maybe I shall grow a beard and join the circus and eat popcorn all day and wear peach colours as my circus clothes. Excellent plan. Though now I feel like a traitor to my degree. Poor Linguistics (and a little bit of Latin), never mind. I am sure syntax will not miss me as I take up a career in trapezing and or elephant training.

Must go now, I am going to see if I can order and elephant over the internet. You know, just for practice.
