GPOY: Watching the Australian Dollar’s exchange rate drop as my trip to the US approaches.

Please, please, please let it reach parity before the 24th.

Anonymous asked: How can you possibly afford to go to so many gigs and dress so well when you're an undergraduate?

Yay, my first anonymous question.

I’d like to say that I am just good with money, but the truth is it is because I still live with my parents. Not having to pay for rent, etc. is a huge boon in terms of disposable income, even if it comes at the cost of some personal freedoms.

Plus, when it comes to clothes and the like, I would much rather save up and buy one item I really like than multiple mediocre items.

Like a big, warm hug under blankets on a cold night in the middle of winter, in music form.

I wish my personality and demeanour was like how Thurston Moore’s voice sounds in all the best Sonic Youth songs: totally calm, cool, and unaffected.

In related matters: totally forgot how much I fucking love this band, hey.

Just finished watching FLCL, and whoah. Loved every minute of it.

Also, it has the best soundtrack I think I have ever heard in an anime. Just listen to that song up there and try to disagree. Hunting down the OST as we speak.

What is this, I don’t even.

Just started watching this, and I have absolutely no idea what is going on… but I like it.

Just completed my last assignment for my Journalism degree ever

Feels good!

Plus, it was an assignment that was actually interesting, fun to complete, and useful.

We had to create an online portfolio to describe what we are about and to showcase some of our work. The idea being that we would then have a link ready to send along to any prospective employers.

Really good idea, in my opinion.

Have a look here.

Now to get more stuff published so I can actually flesh it out…
