Better than sliced bread

So thanks to a brief mention from Coffee and Cigarettes I found the coolest thing to hit the internet since Youtube.
If you are not already onto the wonderfulness that is Poladroid (I'm always very behind so you probably have...) then click the link!

Yes that's right ladies and gentlemen - now you can turn all your pictures into polaroids! And you can even save and print them off!

WINNER!

So here are two I did before the program went a little funny...well it is only a BETA version...

Personally all my pictures will now appear like this...

And yes all I can think is 'Shake It. Sh-sh-sh shake It."

Three's a Party

So I should really be writing (my New Years Resolution was to finish my novel) but I had to write about the top 3 TV shows on my mind.
1st: Dr Who.
As we should all know by now (right? come on this is ground breaking news...) the 11th Doctor has been announced.
Intro MATT SMITHSome people chucked a little tantie because he is only 26 and therefore too young to play such an illustrious role. But as one journo pointed out once he steps through the doors of the TARDIS he ages 900 years anyway so who cares.
He hasn't seen much TV time but, interesting, has appeared in two programmes with Billy Piper (Rose - the best Doctors Assistant ever - yes I'm showing my nerd) The Sally Lockhart Mysteries: Ruby in the Smoke and an episode of Diary of a Call Girl (1.6).
Sure following in David Tennants shoes will be hard but to be honest I was getting a little sick of his Doctor and I think he chose the right time to leave.
I am, however, annoyed that they will only be showing 4 'special' episodes of Doctor Who this year with Smith starting in 2010.
Apparently Torchwood is recieving similar treatment.
How will I survive?

Second show making the list is: Skins Season 3.
Although it hasn't started yet (and certainly not here is Australia - The Land That Good TV Forgot) but I caught a look at the trailer on Youtube the other day. I might be a little behind on this one but if you haven't seen it check it out.
*I wanted to post it up here but my computer got angry at me so go youtube it if you haven't seen it*
I think it's brilliant and looks super good. I just love the way they capture the complete mayhem of ones teenage years (and turn it up a couple of notches). Somehow, although it is so far removed from my own teenage years it still seems to be one of the closest representations I have ever seen.
And I always really liked Effie's style.

Again a little bit behind but I recently downloaded the 3rd season of The Mighty Boosh.
Apparently these guys toured Brisbane once. Why was I not invited?
I love The Boosh. Especially the crimping which should make it to your local radio station soon if the world is a decent place.
*again I was going to post it buuuttt computer says 'No'. So here is the link to a nice little crimp from ep 3.5 - http://au.youtube.com/watch?v=CNgL0E2BFEM*
My favourite character is definatly Tony Harrison - the Shaman who is nothing but a cleft head on tenticles who takes a lot of drugs and likes to say 'This is an outrage' at everything.
Also Vince Noir (apart from possessing one of the coolest names in the world) also has the coolest wardrobe. I think Noel Fielding may use a lot of his own clothes...

The man is out and about in a fur trimmed coat with a toy unicorn around his neck.
Brilliant.

Ok. Ok. I'm going to do some writing.

Brain. Life.

Bad Bad Bad.
So after Semester my computer and I had a fight. Seems I had been spending too much time staring at his pixelated screen what, between the assignments on witch burnings, studying for medieval finals and a failed attempt at Nano 08. So we took some time apart and I feel maybe now we can be friends again. In fact I hope we can be better than friends. I hope we can really learn to love one another.
So let's ignore that big gap every happened and take this opportunity to sum up a couple of months in a couple of pictures.

Look forward to checking out some blogs.

Messy

I'm a really terrible blogger. I think up so much stuff I could put on here and then it never happens. I'm also very bad with the camera. I took it out with me 3 times this week and not once did I end up documenting - Despite the 2 parties and epic Uni/Life/Random-encounters-of-the-H-kind that happened.
When I started this blog it was really only so I could keep a list of all the blogs I LIKE to read. And also so when I find an awesome link or site or youtube video or whatever on the net I would have somewhere to store it. I don't know if it has really developed from there and to be honest I get suprised everytime I see a comment pop up on one of my pages.
Recently I added a Stat Counter because someone suggested it to me. And I discovered all you little lurkers out there.
Ok so I am a bit of a lurker too but I do try to comment on things every now and again.
So maybe just...I'll curse myself if I ask for something won't I?

Snippits of Life:

"Should we drink Saturday night?"

"No wait till Monday....Ask me again Saturday"

"H. Put some pants on and come outside."

*One side of a Phone conversation*
"I'm at Uni... What am I doing?... Drinking beer and playing pool... Yeah I said I am at Uni"

"It's a fucking whale. You can't blow that shit up."

Is it true what they say about the Son of God?

I walked across the bridge in the middle of a storm and I dreamt of Fairy Tales where the Wicked Witch wins.
I bought two books and I snuck them into the house and I wished I had a typewriter to bash some good words out.
There are roses dying on my desk and a tutu on my floor.
I'm terrible at keeping up to date with my photos and I didn't finish the bottle of wine.
I'm sorry but the words just slipped out.
I'll revist. You drag me back.
'I'll marry you someday. But for now...I am young'

I really like this song.

D.I.E

If I don't get this skirt I may die.

Sex Kitten

Girls, Girls, Girls

Dita Von Teese has the most amazing style ever. We all knew that.
My god what I wouldn't give to have even one item from her wardrobe. But perhaps my favourite thing about the marvellous woman, aside from her pristine skin, lucious locks and abundance of Chanel - is that she is not afraid to talk about how much effort she puts into the look! I hate nothing more than celebrities who are all like 'Oh I'm just effortlessly slim' 'Oh I am a real grotty tomboy actually.'
No you are not Miss Size 2 Miu Miu.
But there is one thing that annoys me about Dita, and it gets me almost everytime I see her. Despite the eyeliner, the perfect pout and those to-literally-die-for dresses.
Her look is always the same.
Now I know when you find a look that works for you you should run with it. And hey, to be fair her look has made her internationally famous. But one gets a little sick of the black liquid eyes and red lips One gets a little sick of the same cut and colour of her hair. One gets a little sick of those same red nails.
She's a totally enviable fashion icon but sometimes I just look at her and wish for a cute bob or some light, pretty eyes.
Oh and naturally her Wonderbra collection is just gorgeous.
Does anyone know how much the sets will be selling for? I make it a rule to study only while feeling fabulous and I have an assignment coming up which needs a new wardrobe.

Now speaking of the classic look of the 40's and 50's.
What happened to Christina Aguilera???
She looked so amazing when she was doing her 'Back to Basics' album and her 'Candyman' videos. Her pinup girl look was so stunning. Especially after those hidious 'Dirrty' days.

But with her new single 'Keeps getting better' I just feel like things have got...well...worse.

I didn't like her look at the MTV Awards at all (although while the dress was a little Mortitia life it was quite nice) but her flat hair and blunt fringe just blends in with her face and the eyemakeup looks too harsh on her. Her stage costumes were even worse. I have never understood the desire to wear leather and latex onstage. Firstly wouldn't it be hidiously hot? And secondly you look like you are putting on a bondage show.

Where has Christina's stylist gone? Bring back the rollers! Bring back the curly false eyelashes! Bring back the red lipstick! Bring back the pinup girl!
