Buuuuurgers.

Aww shucks, I’ve been craving a huge juicy burger since watching HIMYM S4E2 this afternoon.

buuuuuuuurger

Haha, I wonder where Melbourne’s best burger is hidden. My vote goes to Andrew’s Burgers till proven otherwise.

I hear the St Kilda BBNT’s “The Stack” ($7.50) is one of the best late-night burgers you can get. Midnight drive, anyone?

As always, I should have started earlier.

!!!!

I have a bone to pick with all you fine, learned lawyers/law students/academics who write lengthy papers on criminal policies + theories. OMG can’t simple non-convoluted language be used to put a simple point across?! Essay. due. in. two. days. still. don’t. know. what. the. heck. these. papers. are. trying. to. saaaay. All these circular arguments ): It’s like… they… they… they’re sneering at this poor criminology student saying “har har, you’re no alan shore. you suck.”

I’m just kidding. Sort of.

On a more serious, non-whingey note though, haha, whatever time not spent thinking about my essays, has been spent thinking about LTC. I feel God has been expanding my mind, opening my eyes and and poking at my heart to stop focusing on my inadequacies and to see beyond myself.  It’s like, trying to see the participants through God’s eyes e.g. I wonder if they realise the how much value God puts on each of their lives. Yeah, plus a whole hoard of other stuff I shan’t elaborate on. ALSO! Meh, LTC retreat is sandwiched just between my two majormajor essays; I’m afraid I won’t be fully rested/prepared/ready for it! Been trying to prepare my heart by taking more time off to pray for fac+participants, butbut I already feel so saturated with that deep-bone weariness. Deep-bone weariness = barely being able to muster a smile to anyone in the past two weeks. Oh noooo what to doooo? *weary semi-panic-dance*

Anybellyhoo, I feeling like gorging on almond croissants. And… a big meaty burger (Andrew’s burgers and Grill’d!). And a buttery cookie. And a huge bowl of rice. Or like, baked potato with bacon bits. (Hi, my name is soandso, and I’m a carb addict). Klow, your post on Arnotts biscuits and Danish tins!!! Made me feel all greedy + nostalgic. Haha, I used to only eat the pretzel looking ones crusted with sugar. Then when those were all gone, I would move on to the rectangular ones crusted with sugar. I never liked the plain ones. Haha, see krys, if we shared a tin we’d both be happy.

5 Years’ Time

I love bikes.

Hurhur, style over speed! I’m quite in love like with Copenhagen Cycle Chic. European culture. Le sigh? Hahaha. And see, look what I found!  A happy (Topshop) biking video. Extraextra bonus because the soundtrack is ‘5 years time’ by Noah and the Whale (!!!!!). “Love love love” their music; currently one of my fave bands! (:

Soooon! I’ll be getting mine soon. I hope I don’t jinx it by saying it out loud… I hope I get that old little blue one at BAC bikes! It has a little white chain guard and fenders. So quaint! (((: I can ride around singing “and there’ll be suuun suuun suuuuuuun, all over our bodies, and sun sun suuuuun, all down our necks!” But of course it won’t be as carefree as in that video because of Australia’s stupid mandatory helmet laws. Ugh.

Back to my 3rd and final assignment for the week. Sometimes I think to myself if I can really stick it out for the whole 5 years of my Comm/Arts degree. But I don’t want to look back in regret when I’m working, wishing I’d enjoyed my student life more (: Haha, that logic applies to other areas too. I want to look back and sing “it was fun fun fuuuun…”

Mis – (insert verb)

“Ask me no questions, and I’ll tell you no lies”
- Oliver Goldsmith

Misheard lyrics (august will pass! haha), misinterpretation, missteps, misdirection. Brooke Fraser was right on the money when she wrote “show me how I should live this” in ‘Faithful’. Ah well,

Philippians 3:13-15

13 Brothers, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, 14 I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus.

15 All of us who are mature should take such a view of things. And if on some point you think differently, that too God will make clear to you.

Exciting things ahead! Oh anybellyhoo, not to continue being emo or anything… but hey look at this Greg Leswall song! ‘It’s been a year’! Hits where it hurt(s). Heh. I like him. A little Janove Ottesen, a little Jose González, a little Rob Thomas/Matchbox 20, a little Counting Crows. Very mellow. He does a lovely play (<– click) on ‘Girls Just Want to Have Fun’ too! Okay, at the risk of being pigeon-holed as one of those people who annoyingly force their music taste onto their readers, here!

Yeah it’s about that time
that you contact me to make rhyme
and reason of what we did
now that it’s been a year

Don’t clutter your head
I’m fine
Don’t clutter your head
It’s been some time
And I’m fine
Strange it’s almost been a year

And you sound so sweet
You sound so sweet
To me

I should know better by now
Then to pick up that God damn phone
But I don’t
And it’s almost been a year

And you sound so sweet
You sound so sweet
To me
You sound so sweet
To me

Yeah it’s about that time
That you contact me to make rhyme
And reason of what you did
Now that it’s been a year

And you sound so sweet
You sound so sweet
You sound so sweet
You sound so sweet
To me
You sound so sweet
To me

Mood: ;(

Mum’s on the plane home.

Dad’s somewhere in Bendigo preaching.

Sis is away visiting her new best friend.

I’m feeling very ‘Sylvia hotel’ and I’m crapping my pants about tomorrow’s exam.

And this is a lonely life
Though I think it suits me well
