Boy bitten by lizard

I adore Carravaggio, he is one of my favorite artists.

This is one of my favorite paintings of his, it is so full of sexuality, and symbolism, I love it.

I heart streetview

For some time I've been looking at street view when I'm a bit bored at work, and exploring views of places I want to visit...

Here a just a couple of images Ive stumbled across...

Whoop! Its snowing!

Please, please, please settle.

The sad death of tapes...

Im so sad that tapes are no more.

I love them!
I am not embarressed to admit that I used a tape walkman right up to 2 years ago when someone bought me an ipod (till then I was carrying round about 10 tapes in my bag!)

There is something comfortable and familiar about tapes, they are what I grew up with, my first ever album was on tape (Micheal Jackson- Bad) and I rememeber how excited I was when I got my first free tape with Smash Hits.

I made mix tapes (and recieved a few from boyfriends and friends) and I used to sit with my finger hovering over the record button, listening to the radio, wiating for my favorite song to come on.
I still have loads of old tape recordings of 90's pirate radio from my yoof, possibly even a few shout outs from me!

I know that people argue that the sound quality is bad, they had a tendency to get chewd up in the machine and there was the whole rewinding and fast-forwarding issue,
but Im a child of the 80's! how could I not love them?!

worry

I'm stressing about stupid things that don't matter and that I cant change.
I don't know why, but Ive always been the kind of person who over-analyses stuff, and worry, worry worry about things that no one noticed or if they did, forgot about ages ago... COS IT WASN'T A BIG DEAL!!!!

I need to get me some Guatemalan worry dolls

Back with the rents

planning my life at the moment.
It very hard making life decisions and sticking to them.

After talking over and over about travelling and giving up my boring-ass job, I finally took a large jump into the deep end and set a rough date to go travelling.

Ater doing lots of maths, I have made the decision to movbe back in with my parents (where I havent lived since I was 18) In Jan to save money.
Whats more, JW (my boy) is coming with me.

My parents are very liberal and chilled people, but its gonna be really weird for a bit whilst we are there.

wow!
