i took this photo last night at concrete while i was having champagne cocktails. at the time i thought i looked like the hottest thing ALIVE. i thought "this photo is so freakin' good i'm going to find a way to blog about it so the whole world can see me looking THIS hot". then when i got home i didn't think i looked hot at all. then tonight i thought "you don't look that hot but that you thought you looked hot is a good story. blog about it". so i have.

in other news, tonight i booked tickets to melbourne. i am going to melbourne. i am taking someone with me. the amazing AL. whose middle name i now know because it was required when i booked the tickets online. i hope we find someone to take us to a revolving restaurant slash cocktail bar. i hope they serve champagne cocktails in that revolving restaurant slash cocktail bar.

oh so the reason i can afford to do things like go to melbourne on holidays is that i am a disciplined saver when i want to be. but that is not working very well for me at the moment. today i had another fancy pants meal. this time at chameleon in the hotel intercontinental. i'm celebrating. one of my faves is back in the country. after two years away. today we celebrated by eating chocolate. expensive chocolate. tomorrow i will go out for drinks but other than that i can spend no more money than what is in my pocket. around four dollars. wish me luck.
