come closer, sweet human child.

i'm still looking for other jobs, but i also need to figure out what to do for school and where the hell i am going to be living in the next year or two. am i going back to florida? sometimes i think it'd be okay. but i have a hard time dealing with the standards down there. they're not the same as they are here. i never noticed before, but now it's something i can't ignore, no matter how hard i try. we'll see.

i was watching a interview with two women from a blog i read regularly, and one of them, michelle, said something about being an only child, and how because of, she never really feels lonely. she's content to live in her own head most of the time. it just comes naturally.
i have to say, that's the same way i feel most of the time. i'm always day dreaming about something, and i don't think there's ever a moment, other then perhaps when i'm sleeping, that i'm not putting something together, or creating scenarios. i think that's why a lot of the time i'd rather be at home, listening to music and laying on my bed, staring at the ceiling, more than going out with a huge group of people and trying to find things to do to entertain everyone.

not to say i'm completely anti-social. i love going out and doing things too. but most of the time i'm really okay doing them by myself.

sick the wolves.

i just really like this ensemble. it's something i'd wear all the time.

i've got this real itch to go back to school and absorb tons of fascinating information. anthropology it is. i mean really, i've made up my mind this time. i swear.

voyage.

i've had the past three days off, and it's really been total bliss. i've been reading my magazine with coffee in the morning, snacking on sour dough and cranberry bread, watching movies and day dreaming like crazy. on sunday mom took me to the st. lawrence market where i found an adorable beaded 1950's cardigan [original silk lining in it and everything!], a 1940's slip with a few minor bits to fix, a late '40s/early '50s black clutch purse, a really interesting gold snake necklace [which i might also use as a belt], a little gold ring with a dog on it that looks like piggy, a faux pink pearl bracelet, and a few other little things. i mean i really hit the jack pot.
the market is only on sundays, but i think every time i have a sunday off [and a little extra cash to spare], that's where i'll be. especially come spring and summer.

tonight i downloaded the new album IRM by charlotte gainsbourg. i've posted one song, a cover, she has on the album on facebook. so far i really love the whole thing. it's a bit moody, artsy and feminine. "voyage" is a great song.

will's asked me to go down again in april. hopefully i can get the time off work! i'm already day dreaming about what outfits to wear, since it will be sweltering by then. i almost wish i could wear slips like elizabeth taylor in "cat on a hot tin roof" the entire time.

acne and miss swinton.

i bought this at indigo today. 12$ for a magazine seems a bit steep to me, but i have heard good things about this one, and this issue was too tempting! one, i love tilda swinton [though when i first picked it up i didn't even realize it was her!], two, this editorial reminds me of the silent films/gustav klimt paintings/siouxsie sioux. three things i adore! i plan to have my hair done like it is in this. it's basically what i have now, but more styled. mine is beginning to look a tad disheveled and un-chic. heaven forbid it!
anyways, you can have a better look at it here: http://fashiongonerogue.com/2010/01/acne-paper-sweden-tilda-swinton-by-paolo-roversi/

i have the next three days off, so i plan to read every article in it with cups of tea at hand.

fidelity.

these are made by a vancouver studio. i have seen them being sold in the little shop not far from where i live, and oh, how i have admired them for about a year now. i would love this one. it reads, in french; "faithful in absence". if only the price point was a little more my style too!

bright star.

i finally watched this movie this morning. it was wonderful. i'd even go as far to say i enjoyed it more than pride&prejudice. somewhat because it was so beautifully done, soft is the word that comes to mind. but mostly because it seemed so real. well, it was real. but it went along so calmly, much like real life. yes, i adored this movie. i have never wept so much during and after a film. in fact, i've never wept, after a film at all! this was a first for me.

so now, like the overly enthusiastic girl i am, i must go out and find a book with all the workings of john keats and read them until my eyes are swollen and dried up of all my tears.

every bit of you is perfect
I can't believe it
every single inch
you dress so classy too
and you kiss so soft
