went and saw black swan today.  it was un petit peu strange, tres sexual and tellement scary.  still trying to get my head around it.  'twas unnerving to say the least.

 it did make me want to go out and get a new leotard though...

and reminded me of how much i love natalie portman and have ever since i saw beautiful girls when i was around 11.  she has sweetness to aspire to.

the times, they are a changin'...

out with the old, in with the new.

now that the dill (butter) has settled...

to ring in the big, bright new year we decided to go all out and have a seafood night. well, go all out we did- we went to the sydney fish markets on what must have been one of the busiest days of the year, bought beautiful lobster tails, a bag of prawns (we cooked them ALL which was at least 3 times more than we needed) and then clarified two (four?) pounds of butter for dipping purposes. we had dill butter, garlic butter and butter butter, butter butter.  oof.  it took me three days before i could re-enter the kitchen to do the dishes.  the scent of dill and (you guessed it) butter was overwhelming and even the thought of seeing a prawn made my tummy a little queasy. but, that's all behind us now. it was great and inspiring night. i'd gladly do it again soon with the same wonderful company!

the martha stewart bouillon.

 we busted out the head massager, which some people didn't love...

while others loved it enough to wear it as a hat for the night.

eye spy.

on desire to inspire today, i spotted a rug in a fancy french home that my aunt has in her place.  love it when this happens!

see? si!

dear momma,

when you come visit, could you please bring my brass giraffe? and that wooden ship you found if it's still around?  x

in addition to saving for a bike (and paying off my uni debt :::hrrrmmm:::), i'm going to save lots of moola this year and hang out in morocco.
