oh! i don’t often want to buy dvds these days, but this combines a few of my favourite things:

- films by ozu

- illustrations by adrian tomine

- dvds from the criterion collection

effff, whenever i come across a sonic youth screenprinted poster that i like, it’s usually sold out already. such as this one by todd slater. can’t resist the flickering flames of hell. a nice analogy to what it feels like sometimes to listen to a sonic youth record.

so apparently the scott pilgrim movie is tanking badly, both in the states and in australia. i went to see it last tightarse tuesday, in a small cinema that was only a quarter full. okay, that cinema has shutdown rumours about it, but if people have been saying the film is too “niche”, then judging by the people sitting around me, that can’t be too far off. tattooed kids, geeks, people talking loudly with the self conscious aplomb that inhabits characters in such a movie.

of course if i had had the opposite reaction to the film, i wouldn’t even bother posting this. but even vanity fair is imploring you to watch this film, and others saying you should watch it instead of that other overblown action film.

it’s nice to have an asian model on the cover of frankie this month. i can’t help but think, i would have loved to see this kind of thing growing up, someone who looks a little like me.

happy frankie day!

when i was a kid i used to eat little tubs and tubs of this ice cream. only i wasn’t in japan, where this is normally sold. back then, the peters ice cream factory in perth made them for lotte to export, and a friend of a friend was able to procure a supply every now and then.

i loved this ice cream more than the rich premium connoisseur brand stuff. digging a spoon into a cup of vanilla creaminess… heavenly.

when tony abbott puts foot in mouth, he usually says what he really thinks. like these gems. and you wonder why women don’t like him?

i wish i had a photograph of the girl i saw this morning on the way to work. she was standing at the edge of the kerb in front of the petrol station, about to cross the road, possibly waiting to catch a bus. she was dressed in a black jacket, and a bright red dress which ballooned down the bottom. and on her feet she towered in the vivienne westwood winged sandals, as pictured. she looked as if she was about to get the hell out of suburbia.

yup, sometimes its not that bad at all to be a girl anachronism. dressed head to toe in vintage, she looks as if she could be going bike riding or to a tea party with that hat balanced delicately.

this is easily the best thing i ate today. the green tea in the chocolate is strong and slightly rough in texture, and according to some accounts, because it is actually chopped up tea leaves. anti-fans of chewing leaves may heave on this one, but it definitely hit the spot, and i prefer it to the usual powdered green tea which usually goes in sweets. i hereby nominate this dolfin chocolate for the 3pm spot every other working day.

uh, i don’t know whether to find this awesome, or scream, “nooooo i don’t want to share him with other teenage girls” like the teenage girl i am not. i don’t even know who the fuck is garrett since i only could manage the first book before i was tired out with sighing. anyway, any publicity should be okay after that dog of a movie marmaduke.

looks like these keep catching my eye - a traditional fitted jacket, and cute whimsical printed skirt. prim and proper, but still a little bit alice in wonderland. jacket from jane marple, and skirt by anna sui.

here is someone else who uses their mac as a tv! the people at hindsvik vintage love scandinavian design and simple homes. i wonder if putting it atop a tv cabinet/credenza would stop me from going on the computer so much. but it is another good excuse for me to buy a new 24” screen desktop, since i don’t have a tv.

i am absolutely preoccupied with pictures of bookshelves at the moment. maybe it was started by viewing the bookshelf porn tumblr. but i am always into looking at configurations of space, and how they fit in intricately together, and how items are laid out.

so, bookshelves. are bonde shelves still in stock at ikea?

If you throw a CD at Carl “Air Conditioning” Newman, Neko Case will kick your ass! I get the feeling that if Neko Case threatened to “pummel your fucking face,” about 10% of this blog’s readership would be really into it.

that’s why i love neko case. i wouldn’t mess with her either.
