A Day Out At the Gallery - Taxidermy Exhibit

On Wednesday I had a lovely day out, most of which was spent at the local gallery here visiting the latest exhibit on display featuring a large variety of preserved exotic animals. I do believe that the placement and juxtaposition of many of the animals was meant as a commentary on humanity's constant grapple with it's futile attempts to control the natural order of things. Whatever the meaning behind it, it was certainly confronting and I must say the fighting urge to touch everything was extremely difficult.

Here's a few pics I quickly ran around and snapped before we left;

 

 I think it's one of the best exhibits we've had here, not that we get many. Hope you enjoyed the little peek of it!

Oh and here's the obligatory outfit I wore:

 New ring; thanks Kelly ^_^

That's all for tonight!

Look Out it's Another Outfit Post

 So yesterday...Well actually it's after 12 so I suppose the day before yesterday I had lunch with my good chums Kelly and Luke and I decided I was in the mood to actually put some effort into my make up that day. And as a result cue the neutral eye make up/ I suppose you could sort of call it a smokey eye. Done with the awesome naked palette by Urban Decay.

Ergh I really need to do something with my hair. I want a job and I guess I just need to suck it up and dye my hair a non-'offensive' colour :( I was thinking maybe all black with some pure white in the fringe but I dunno...I just wish people would get over this inbuilt prejudice they have whereby they assume someone with oddly coloured hair is a drug addict, high school drop out who murders kittens and worships Satan. The truth is in my experience with the positions of employment I've held in customer service that my education, diction, intellect and general morals is of much better quality than the average Neanderthal philistine that lives in my area.

And on another note I have no idea what's going on with this blog any more. I barely have anything to post about let alone to say. The outfit things are an easy way to make sure there's not large breaks in posting but I guess it's gets pretty dull but what else can I contribute? Anything I'm vaguely knowledgeable on has been done before to a standard I couldn't muster the energy to repeat let alone surpass. People have suggested starting afresh but I just feel it'd be the same problem, with attention slightly detracted from it for a few moments by change only to fall back in the same rut again and in the mean time losing all (if any) readers.

Sigh, sorry I guess I'm just thinking out aloud...or whatever the term would be.

I'mma go now and continue to watch Dead Like Me episodes for a while before retiring to a book and a chai. I've been reading a lot of Poe the last few days. Ha, I started reading the Raven out aloud to my mother who'd hadn't heard it before and my extremist christian grandmother left the room faster than the speeding bullet himself. So freakin' hilarious. Poe is now Satanic mantra apparently. So don't give a shit! If it means she leaves a room and I get to read Poe aloud what the fuck is there to lose hahaha. Also about the start the Hobbit again with my two friends Luke and Kelly in expectation for the film that shouldn't be too far off. EMMERRGERRD CERRBERRBERRTCHH AS THUURR NERCROOMERRNCURRR!

...*dies*


Speaking of Cumberbatch I picked up the new the dvd Star Trek film...Think I might wait and open it this weekend with the chums ^_^


Anyway I should head off

Finally! I have internet again!

So out here in the middle of nowhere our internet has been on the fritz for quite a few weeks (I reckon it got wind of Liberal's craptacular version of the NBN and decided that it didn't have to work any more.) In any case it seems to be working for the time being so I thought I'd jump back on quickly to let anyone who actually reads this know that I'm still alive haha. Also, I just realised this is my 200th post - wee!


And here's an arbitrary outfit post from a few weeks ago when I was having a small mulled wine obsession.

Ensembles, New Additions and General Happenings Around the Fairy Grotto

So going off what I said yesterday I tried to put a bit of effort into my outfit today, tossing on what is currently probably my favourite wardrobe pieces; plus I did my make up!

Nothing you guys haven't seen before but I am so in love with this skirt and the new Black Milk XL sizing is so comfortable I never want to take these Chopin leggings off.

 

Leggings and Skirt - Black Milk Clothing

Jacket - Saxony (Ebay)

Tee - Black Victory

Boots - Big W

Speaking of comfortable BM leggings...Oops I slipped ;)

I can't wait for these, ever since they were sneak peeked a few months ago I've been dying to get them on my legs.

 

 Also, new ASOS order arrived today; a first from them for me.

It was a leather skirt which I got on sale for a bargain of less than 60 bucks. But yeah, it is real leather so vegans/vegos should note that in case they wanted to buy their own. They do have plenty of varieties of veggie-friendly, faux-leather options however.

Sorry about the constant crappines of my photos but my computer can't handle having any more photos on it and my SLR ones are huge files plus the light in my house is complete shit.



In other news my ability to read for long periods of time seems to be returning (who knew that anaesthetic had such a bad reaction 0.o) So I've started this book ...again, hoping this time I can get through it. I normally don't read that much modern stuff however I for some reason was put on to a series by the same other by a friend and hoped this would be as attention-grabbing. So far it's a bit so-so but I do believe it's getting better!



Moving on, I just found a cute little reference to me in this lovely blog that I'm probably the last to discover :P It's called Dark Side of the Net and the post mentioning me and my little place on the interwebs is here. Thank you kind stranger for the mention and for reading! ^_^


Also, check out the awesome breakfast Mum and I had on Sunday ^_^ nom nom

Anyway I think that's probably all for tonight. Please check out my last post on a possible outfit challenge, more participants equals more fun!

P.s. Readers do my pictures appear blurry to you? I'm not sure what's going on but for some reason even though I know the pics aren't blurry they show up as such on my blog. If you open them in their own window/tab they come into focus though; it's really weird and frankly it's pissing me off! Anyone got any advice/comments?

P.p.s. I'm approaching 200 posts, do people usually do something special for these kind of milestones?

Edit: Until I can figure out why stupid blogger makes all my photos blurry when they're resized I've had to make them smaller but if you click on them and open them in a new window they appear much larger and clear. Again if any one knows why this happens I'd love to hear from you either by comment or you can email me at sydneysomething@hotmail.com
Thanks

A Day In My (New) Shoes

So going off what the poll said, I took a photo of what I wore to work today (Though just the bottom half, as I just wore a boring t shirt on top. I would normally wear something nice with these bloomers, but seeing as I just sit all day and no one sees me anyway I can't really be bothered looking nice. Plus I didn't wear make up).

Front



I'm not really a big fan of the corset style ribbon lacing on the back of them, but eh..


Plus I wore these with my new brogues/oxfords! Their style is called 'Harvard'.













Bloomers: Lovechild Boudoir
Shoes: Ziera Shoes

This will probably be my last post for this week as tomorrow morning bright and early I'm heading off to Sydney on a bus in order to catch a flight to Melbourne! Tomorrow night I see Rob Zombie and Wednesday 13 (And other bands I don't really know/care about) and then Friday, Saturday and most of Sunday I'll be chillin' in Sydney with Gracie and a few others I expect.


See you next week!

p.s. I updated my blogger bio, lemme know wha'cha think :) Also, does anyone know how to put paragraphs in the bio section? I tried the usual html code for them but it didn't work...

Wayward Corporate Slave Raver

Howdy y'all, sorry that's its' been a little while since I posted but it's been a hectic week over here in the land of Aus.

The weekend just gone as some of you may know, I attended Utopia Rave in Sydney. Although it was fun, it was as I said, unbelievably hectic; and Australia's weather just wasn't playing nice. It was like... 35 degrees Celsius (and this was at like...9pm >_<) which according to google is 95 Fahrenheit for those of whom don't use metric... I have a very small amount of pics, I apologise for the quality. They were taken on my phone, and two of them I pinched off my friend Rachel McLachlan's facebook.







Todd and I




Rachel and I


I also apologise for my disgusting, sweaty appearance but it was a rave after all :P

And moving on I thought I'd do a little post of what I wore today at work. It's nothing new or exciting, but meh :P





My hair needs re-dying >_<
