so yesterday i was meant to go to the welli library zine fest but circumstance got in the way. circumstance being the fact that i'm the world's best aunt and took ryles to te papa to play shops instead. i have to share with you how amazingly cute it is to watch a two year old remain unconvinced that the banana is plastic and therefore not for eating. but we've already established on numerous occassions that ryles is the light of my life so he can basically just sit there and i will talk for hours about how it is the most adorable thing ever.

in short i missed the zine fest. but never fear. i got one of just about every zine on offer to look at. how is a secret (but i thank my flattie). and basically i spent saturday night lying on the floor, with strongerlight as a companion, eating chocolate and reading zines. it looked something like this...
while some are a bit hit and miss some are AWESOME. joanna's is an obvious fave. but there are others too. like sweet valley 69. as a result i'm totally into lesbian erotica. it is my new fave genre.

(i am probably going to get some hits as a result of lesbian erotica. the people searching will be disappointed i'm guessing)

and today has been awesome too. not only have i told everyone i've seen that my new favourite genre is lesbian erotica i've also done some pretty exciting things.

booked concerts:

the gossip are coming in december. i'm going to rock it. BIG time. and by then i would have had a lot of experience in rocking concerts. cos today i also bought tickets to bjork in new york. madison square garden to be precise. you know, a famous place. i'm going cos of the klaxons. but more people have heard of bjork so it is a more recognisable headline. and then a week or so after i get back from the USA the killers are playing in australia. and guess who's going. yeah. that's right. me. my life rules.

eaten cakes

care of simply paris. my favourite cake shop of the moment.

drunken drinks

not many of my drinks have been alcoholic. in fact i've only had a sip of alcohol. a pimms cup. which was someone elses. sharing a straw is basically like pashing. so i guess i've gotten it on in public today too. but mostly i've drunken coffee. lots of delicious coffee.

got my perve on...

i went to the invaders tonight. it was a-ok but not great. and daniel craig really looks best as bond it turns out. also the invaders wasn't scary enough.

also i have enquired about surfing lessons with firefighters in hawaii.

watched weddings

well i technically did this yesterday but i did it again today. my friends got married overseas and i got to see the results on the internet. and all i can tell you is that i have a new fave wedding song - viva las vegas.


anyway with all the excitement i forgot to do the things i was actually meant to do. so this week's to do list is very important:

• clean my room, before thursday which is rubbish day, because it is the last rubbish/recycling day before i go to hawaii (did you know, i'm going to hawaii)
• be world's best aunt. i'm probably going to be an aunt again within the next week. this week is my last "alone" time with ryles. i plan to give him advice from one eldest child to another (which will be along the lines of find a niche and we will always love you)
• laundry. i am running out of clothes again. how does that happen?
• find out how to take new zealand wine to new york.
  
• select some songs for the new york wedding of the century. i meant to do it today but the day... it just got away on me.
• magically save up a few thousand dollars spending money (!)
• remember that my life rules (this one is to act as inspiration when in desperation throughout the working week i check my blog to see if anyone has commented. and then i can see this one and be all calm and awesome again).
