Fav: Show

Our tv blew up thanks to a power surge a month or two ago.... so no tv for me.... but yay for Bones episodes on my computer! Seriously... this probably is my favourite show. I love the conversations between Booth and Bones. Agh and the nerds, they are funny. What is not to love really?!

Good Music

I just heard of these guys: THE MORNING BENDERS, after seeing a clip of theirs on Frankie Magazine's blog. Their song "Excuses" is just glorious. I have linked to the clip below. Shall be an interesting album. (And what a pretty cover!)

Excuses by The Morning Benders

This is me on a fort I built with some friends yesterday. We used driftwood and rocks at the beach. I was a lot of fun. We followed it with a nice picnic. Mm. I am off to QLD for a week of lectures. Toodles.

MADE IN AUSTRALIA

Last year I went a whole year without buying any new clothes (underwear excluded). I bought second-hand clothes from op-shops and e-bay. My main motivation for this was to be more ethical in my clothing choices, that I would not be throwing money toward companies who have their clothes made in China or India where workers do not receive fair pay for their work.

Anyhow... that year is over, and having broken my clothes shopping habits, my goal now is to continue buying second hand clothes, and when buying new clothes, to buy fair-trade or Australian made clothing.

There are some really lovely clothing companies who make their entire line in Australia.

These include:

Secret Squirrel

Morrison

Rodeo Show

Skin and Threads

(I bought one of their T-shirts from a local store the other day and it is comfeeeee!)

There are also some companies which make large amounts of their line in Australia (so you would have to check on the item's tag)

Metallicus

Cue

Baku

I am on the lookout for more Australian made clothing.

I Love:

Yes it is sad and somewhat childish. But pineapple lollies are the yummiest. I am so into them right now. Yum!
