i am loving laura marling right now!

- learn a new guitar chord
- re-learn an old song
- play guitar at least twice before the end of sunday night
- read one page of music theory book each day - so far yes!
- remember to water seedlings each night -  again, yes, thus far
- go for a swim once this week (laps)
- go to bed early.  - going better than usual

Who can tell me where I can find the best summer dresses for a CHEAP price.
They have to be able to be worn in the daytime in Brisbane heat.

I am at a dead end.

Oh, and as icandy mentioned, vintage fair this weekend! I will totally miss it again! Silly being out of town....I'll be having a fab time though so that's ok :D

had a craving for raisin toast this afternoon, some craving! i went to coles and bought spicy fruit toast and some cream for mah hot chocolate.

perfect for a grey rainy day like today!

Isn't it wild, Amy? I mean, in time and space you get to experience what you think, think what you want, and want what you don't have. Yet so few visualize.

scary.

!!!

I was at my friend's house earlier, swapping some files with her, and I inadvertently contracted a VIRUS!!!

My poor little external hard drive is infected! I did ask her if she had adequate virus protection, she said yes, and I suppose it did TELL me I had a virus, but OH! I don't know if it got rid of it.

She was using AVS I think...and it said "remove all unhealed instances?" (or something like it)  and I said "yes" because I wasn't sure if I had any other option.

The problem here is that it was in one of the central WD passport files that I'm pretty sure RUN my hard drive, and control it's ability to synchronise data and backups etc.

I don't want to plug it in here, because I have at the moment an expired Norton subscription. I don't really want to get Norton again, because, well, it hates my computer and makes it run at the speed of a grandma who's just missed the butcher on Christmas eve.

I want to fix it.

Does anyone have any ideas

a) about what is the best resonably priced virus protection that runs effectively, is reasonably easy to use, and won't kill my computer's RAM?

and

b) it's a trojan but I can't remember the name. Started with H i think...may have had a 'y' in it somewhere...
Best way to fix???


MANY THANKS!!!!

It is OVERCAST on my DAY OFF!

I am shattered. I was looking to lie about in the sun all day reading books!

Bugger.

I guess I'd better go have coffee somewhere lush.



[Edit: the sun just came out! wooo!]

The Big Read reckons that the average adult has only read 6 of the top 100 books they've printed. Well let's see.

1) Look at the list and bold those you have read.
2) Italicise those you intend to read.
3) Underline the books you LOVE.
4) Reprint this list in your own LJ so we can try and track down these people who've read 6 and force books upon them ;-)

Man, there are so many books on here that I want to read! Must track them down!

Based on my viewing habits, can any of you reccommend any films for me to see?

I am dying to see a good one, haven't for quite some time now. I'm sure there are some classics I'm missing from here.
Criteria are kind of:

foreign
arthouse
related to art/ists
great cinematography
cult film

or anything else along those lines.


Any thoughts?

I am sitting in my half unpacked room eating my eggplant, tomato and almond bake...and it is uber yummeh!
I can't wait until I can get rid of a whole heap of my stuff at the markets! Kirst and I are OOOOOOOverdue. I always seem to get there, hang out for a bit, and help her pack up! Haha.

I am also re-embracing the incubus albums i own. ROCK! :D

I am feeling pretty good of late with the excess exercise! hehe.
No TV has also helped tremendously. I don't think we really miss it at all.

More on my ecstatic frame of mind in tonights late news...

I want to go out and play in the sun...but I have no one to play with!            

I love Tony Robbins.

That is all.  

It took me ages to find out what it was, because I have no clue, apparently!
It's a Marc Jacobs "Stam" bag.

I want it, I need it, I have to have it!



Does anyone know where I may find one for less than the princely sum of $1350.00?

mmmlseepy

downloaded abc vodcast of "not quite art" which I loved but missed the last episode of when it aired.

woohoo!
thanks, aunty :D
