ridiculousness
And now for my ridiculous photo set of the week:
What are you wearing now?
I just had to look under my coat and check for a moment, haha. Old faded black singlet, roughed up black jeans, new very cheap black & red cherry ugg boots, old tartan scarf, white wool beanie, big red coat (formerly the most expensive thing I'd ever bought, before my Macbook).
What’s the last thing you read/are currently reading?
Currently reading the first few chapters of Perfume by Patrick Suskind which I just got off Ebay. I really liked the film and although I hate not having read a book before seeing the film I find the differences really interesting.
Do you nap a lot?
I feel really guilty when I nap because I know I should always be doing something else. I have way too many sleep ins and late nights, so naps feel extra indulgent.
What’s your current obsession/addiction?
Haha, I totally can't help it, but I'm watching soooooo much Buffy. Sometimes it even gets so bad that when I do go outside I double take at people in the street and think that they're holding stakes or crosses or have faces like evil vampires. Also, I've fallen back into the clutches of my old nemesis, Facebook Scramble. It's just so good. I bet my own high score today (I am aware of the grammatical incorrectness of that sentence, but in my crazed Scramble-fueled few hours today I kept saying to C, "I bet you! I bet you!")
Which item from your closet are you wearing most lately?
New cheap ugg boots, currently on, slightly too big. I *gasp* wore them outside for the first time today, and perhaps it was just my own focus on them, but EVERY SINGLE PERSON WAS LOOKING AT THEM. I am sorry, I am a fashion victim.
What's for dinner?
C made me bruschetta.
What was the last thing you bought?
Groceries (feta, red onions, butter, bananas, tomatoes, wedges.
What are you listening to right now?
I just (re)watched the musical 'Once More With Feeling' episode of Buffy. It was so good.
If you could have any super power, what would it be?
Ooooh, I'm not sure. I'm so in Buffy world at the moment, I'd like to have some of Willow's witch powers.
What time do you usually get up?
During uni days generally 10 or 11 (or 7am death on Wednesdays). Generally 11-ish. Lazybones.
What is your most challenging goal right now?
Moving, properly. Sorting out where I want to be at uni. Joblessness. Poorness.
If you could have a house-totally paid for, fully furnished-anywhere in the world, where would you want it to be?
Such a hard choice. I am not well traveled, so I'd like to tour around a bit first. I'm going to say Melbourne for an answer.
Favorite vacation spot?
As mentioned above, being so little traveled, I want to go everywheeeeeeere. Canada, Ireland, South America and everywhere else.
What is your favorite item of clothing?
Probably my bright green long-ago-thrifted old-lady jacket. It is the made of the strangest fabric and when I bought it had this never-worn, stored-for-two-decades kind of scent about it. I have no idea how old it is, but the gold buttons ended up falling off and I replaced them with red teapots.
Favorite pair of shoes you keep going back to over and over, even though your closet is overflowing with a zillion others:
Red & gold Havaianas I bought myself for Christmas, hardy things they are. Whoever thought buying trendy overpriced brand-name thongs would be a good choice. The only reason I am not enjoying winter is that it's too cold to wear them.
What is your favourite item of jewellery?
Ehh, probably my gold Pisces bar pendant that my Nana gave to me or my very cheap and chipped mustache necklace.
Name one thing you cannot live without:
I'm not sure. I was thinking today as I went for a walk up to the shops without my Hiptop. I saw this beautiful big tree and my first thought was that I had to take a photo of it, and then post it somewhere. I find this so depressing that things need to be documented and processed and taken and used. I couldn't just appreciate this beautiful natural thing, I had to think about what I could use it for. I don't think there's specifically one thing I couldn't live without. The absence of certain things could make my life a little harder I guess, but I'd like to think I'm not totally dependent on material objects.
What was the last movie that you saw?
A French movie, tonight, called 'The Grocer's Son'.
What's your favourite movie (You can only name one title, it doesn't have to be your ultimate favourite but just the first one that pops into your head)?
Amelie.
What is your favorite weather, and why?
I like the wet. Rain that goes on for days. Seems kind of miserable, but there's something really lovely about it and when you go outside and everything is illuminated.
Anyhow, late late late, I'm going to bed. I WILL DO UNI WORK TOMORROW. I WILL DO UNI WORK TOMORROW.
Aaaaaaand, now for something completely gratuitous:
^ Oh James Marsters, if only you weren't as old as my dad would've been.
AND STOP PRESS: Oh. My. God. Monkey Island IS BACK.
