Also tagged Black Phoenix Alchemy Lab, eyeshadow, presents, teaNo beer! Noooo! What was technically yesterday, I came home early from work (thinking we had no drinks run at work, thanks to my stupid but silly workmates), ran to the post office only to find out I had nothing waiting for me there (the slip lies! *shakes fist*). So homeward bound for some beer [...]
Also tagged beer, bike riding, friends, housemates, MelbourneWhat seemed like an eon ago, I ordered a Comic Book Legal Defence Fund special item, created with the assistance of the olfactory orgasm-inducing Black Phoenix Alchemy Lab. This item was a limited edition chapbook (of which there were a thousand) for Neil Gaiman’s short story ‘Snow, Glass, Apples’ and also a limited edition fragrance [...]
Also tagged Black Phoenix Alchemy Lab, fragrance, Neil GaimanLast night I went over to DH’s place and was treated to a fabulous spaghetti carbonara yet again. I didn’t go to work because I was still not…well. I did, however, make it to the first dress fitting for my brother’s wedding, which miraculously took no time at all. I think we spent more time [...]
Also tagged food, friendsOkay, so not real ones. It’s nearly 7.30am on Wed, I don’t start work for quite some time. I sort-of slept for a few hours, not particularly well… However, had a wonderful evening with my pal T whom I’d not seen for months. We’d talked on the phone a fair bit but because he works [...]
Also tagged alcohol, Brunswick Street, food, friends, Lawrence Ferlinghetti, life, Melbourne, musicHad a doctor’s appointment today. It was…hard. And it was payday. That meant…BOOKS. The prize find for today was a graphic work by John Coulthart – H. P. Lovecraft’s The Haunter of the Dark and other Grotesque Visions. It has an introduction by Alan Moore but even cooler, it has a listed soundtrack! As follows… [...]
Also tagged musicOr ‘glitch’ for short is what the most recent xkcd cartoon calls ‘broken hard drive techno’. According to the xkcd forum. I happen to love glitch. In fact, I recently started listening to it again. Life is slowly starting to improve. I’m socialising, losing weight, and reading an awful lot. On my day off on [...]

BOOKS Marion Bradley Zimmer, The Mists of Avalon Antonia Fraser, Marie Antoinette Christopher Hibbert, Elizabeth I (zomg if someone can actually find this and get it for me I’ll be your sex slave forever…or will promise never to [...]
Also tagged birthday, CDs, DVDs, wishlistNo alarms and no surprises… …I didn’t get any Valentines today. Hardly surprising, I wasn’t expecting any but I confess it might be nice to get one. I thought about sending one but I didn’t have the guts (besides the fellow in question is apparently getting back with his ex-girlfriend so my effort would be [...]
Also tagged reading, Sylvia Plath, Valentines DayFilched from Singular Scene, a mate of mine… Ones in bold indicate those read. I have a horrid feeling Dee might’ve read more than me, which is appalling given that I was a lit major. Bad moi. Someone tell me to stop playing World of Warcraft and get reading dammit! Edited to add that the [...]
Also tagged listsThe word honden means ‘shrine’ in Japanese, in case you were wondering. And in case a particular ‘Magic’ pal of mine is wondering, yes, I did know the word before discovering the delights of the ‘Kamigawa’ block. Anyway, this is about a book I am trying to read. Lately, I’ve managed to finish a few [...]
