back to the 29th!

As i haven't had the time to put in my weekend fairy tales i will as of now!

long weekend was present for a good one. spent thursday evening just at home with the family. friday morning lead on with the chill session in my mother's bedroom, reading fashion magazine, and gasping about the latest artists of the scene. all went well and good. friday evening consisted of going up to Brisbane with Georgia to meet up with Camilla, Lucy and Jaala, all to see the Picaso Exhibition at the GOMA along with a side music gig of new and rising band Yves Klein Blue. i must say the collection was great. with a wide mixture of french, italian, german, english artists it was definately a must see. knowing they were all once under the care of Pablo Picasso was just amazing. even the smallest things were framed and on display there: little sketch book drawings with indian inks and lead pencils as their mediums. all inspiring.

the performance YKB pulled up was a must see aswell. Michael surely knows how to entertain a crown or atleast grab their attention no matter how high or low he can jump. the rest of the badn was just as tantric with their bussing guitar strings and bellowing drumming, and let's just forget Michael's solo on the piano. so great. definately a night i will never forget. i also gabbed their album that they've had out for a few months. it consists of about 6/7 tracks of their choice. something definately to pick up soon.

But to one of the best experiences of my weekend was meeting with an old friend. in reality you wouldn't say "old" due to only meeting this fellow about two weeks ago, although he definately feels like someone i've had within me for a long long time. Tobias and i caught up around lunch time on saturday. we ventured into the wilderness of Broadbeach where we watched "The Edge of Love." as ridiculous as it sounds it was his idea. the films is a beautifully drawn love story, the film revolves around two feisty, free-spirited women, Caitlin Thomas and Vera Killick, Vera's husband William Killick, and the brilliant, charismatic poet Dylan Thomas who loves both women. Broken promises, passion, betrayal, the shadow of war and the constant threat of imminent death push the protagonists to THE EDGE OF LOVE. By no means a biopic in the traditional vein, the story explores the bohemian underworld of war-torn London, and the intimate complexities of two young couples whose lives and loves become dangerously intertwined.

So pretty much the film was great. around the late afternoon we then jumped into the small car with the bell on the dashbord and drove to Berleigh beach for some conversations on life. this lasted till about 6. we drove to his and traded stories with his family of our day. we ate fish and chips for dinner and watched "Donnie Darko" for desert. around 10 Lucas came home and we all had a cigarette together outside admist the cool musk night.
i went home around 11.30 and basked in my very large feather-cushioned bed and slept till the sun could shine no brighter through my window.
Sunday was pretty chil. i spent most of it listening to music and fighting with my sister.

this last week at school has been quite a brain-(metaphor). have had possibly one of the biggest exams i wil ever have in schooling. also considering it doesnt actually matter to me that much, i still felt the pressure. i ate about 20 minties in the last 48 hours. i'm all minted out!
But also very pleased and excited for the weekend.
Leanne's birthday, treats with Toby, thrift store shopping with me mum.

Who could ask for a better weekend ahead of them?!
