i'll take care of you if you ask me to



it's only 3.15pm and i'm wanting it to be past 5 so i can call leo because that's when he'll be out of work and i want it to be past 6 so my mum can come home and make me some nice food. i'm home alone and it's shit. at least i'll have some company tomorrow, also on monday i'm excited to start my new project, we're gonna be making a MASSSSSIVE installation that's to take up the whole studio near enough. WIZARD!

i've been listening to too much of beach house, best coast and warpaint. as much as i love them i don't want to hate them by listening to them over and over again. any suggestions...?

there's nothing wrong with you (hopefully)

"I'm really happy with how the book turned out and I can't thank Upper Playground and Gingko Press enough for giving me the opportunity to put together this cross section of my work. I hope it inspires other artists to persevere and follow their dreams. Because if a weird skate/art nerd in Texas can get a book published, then I don't see why anybody else couldn't."

i'm kind of over resizing pictures, it takes too long.

DEEP INSIDE YOU KNOW YOU'RE HIM

today is couch potato thursday! last night leo stayed and my mum bought us chinese food, we watched annie hall for the BILLIONTH time and then i went in for a hot bath and then we went to bed. he had to leave super early this morning because he has work. so i walked him along to the station at 8am or something and came back and passed out on my bed. i woke up at 12ish and now i'm slouched on the couch watching season 3 of curb your enthusiasm. sounds just fine!

i'm at leo's just now but he's off doing manly stuff with his dad just now. so for the next hour or so i'm sat alone reading this, which, if i'm honest isn't too bad because it's SUCH a good read. i'm nearly finished reading it! i've requested that leo returns bearing gifts ("gifts" being chocolate and crisps) i'm binge eating, SOMEONE, FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, PUT ME OUT OF MY MISERY!

oh, i started my prep course at the glasgow school of art on monday and everyone is very sweet and i'm really enjoying it. that can only be a good thing i'm sure. i've been arriving a good half hour before class even begins so i've started walking down the road to sainsburys where i buy chocolate-pastry-deliciousness for breakfast.

...this is what happens when you don't brush your hair EVER. fucking dreadlock looking tugs. it's awful, don't think i'll ever get rid of them. maybe i should actually just cut all of my hair off. been told i could make it as a baldy.

YOU HAVE TO LISTEN

Sunday 8 August 2010

this morning i've already eaten a sandwich, which in turn just added to my SEVERE TOOTHACHE. honestly, it's so painful, puts me off doing anything. i'm glad today's a sunday, i feel no obligation to go out and do anything. i started doing more stupid drawings of ugly girls again 'cause for a while i actually felt inspired. just now i'm listening to beach house and deciding between going in for a long bath or watching freaks and geeks in bed. i'm gonna take some solpadol (the strongest painkillers ever ever EVER) and maybe go for a kip. i'm unsure. later on though i plan to convince my boyfriend that hanging out with me today sounds like the best idea in the world. think he'll fall for it?


i miss my mum. i wish she'd just come back from holiday already.

feels like people have sort of forgotten about literature and REAL BANDS and proper films. instead, everyone's concerning themselves with taking pictures of their friends wearing expensive bras and only blogging about shit that they think other people will deem as cool or something. wish there were less pseuds and more funny folk. gonna tune my ukulele and start PLAYIN' cuz i want to be in a grrrl band.

also, make sure you listen to this, warpaint make some of the most enjoyable music i've ever put my ears to. you can find out more about warpaint here at francesca's warpaint tumblr!









been listening to warpaint demos and watching freaks and geeks. today i looked like juno. keepin' it androgynous, y'know?

Tuesday 3 August 2010

francesca came over last night and our time together has consisted of: carpet picnics, warpaint and enjoying the idea of DREAMY BOYS. mhmm. also, too much smoke. the only thing i hate about getting together with francesca is how my room smells afterwards. paint crossed with dirty smoke.

Monday 2 August 2010

if i had a job, i think i'd be less of a bitch. i think leo's coming over tonight which means i'll most definitely have to cook. i need to finish painting my room too, the fumes are SO bad, honestly.

band that i will most definitely be listening to during my painting process: micachu OF COURSE!
