"I will wait for you"

Spoken Work poetry - it's impressive!

It's taking OVER!

It started with a big toe only slightly dipping into the water; the water of online clothes shopping.At first it was a pair of pants but before they had even arrived it was a couple of bras too. And now I'm back there. Scouring ASOS, Victoria's Secret, Net-o-porter, Tony Bianco, Nude Shoes, Nine West thelist goes on - all for the perfect shoe or skirt or, or.... dress!

I have accounts with more online clothing retailers than I care to remember but they are kind and remind me with constant emails for sales and discounts. With each one I have a swagger of saved items patiently waiting for my next pay check.

The crazy level of shopping that on occasion consumes ever fibre of my being is still controlled; just.

I have rules you see. Rules that can never be broken; rules learned through great spending splurges of years gone by.

If you need help consider adopting the following rules too:

1. Only begin when all credit cards have a balance of $0.

2. The total amount spent on clothing can not exceed the amount of disposable income for that pay period, once that limit is reached it's time to click the 'Save for Later' button.

3. For every major item bought* at least one item must be given away to a op-shop.

*jacket, skirt, shirt, dress, shoes

Three months and nothing

It's been three months since I've written anything here. Probably because I spend most of my 'blog writing time' working on stuff for the You Love Random blog.

Day it is a public holiday is Melbourne. The sun is shiny and everyone seems happy and carefree wondering around outside. But not me. I have to work today.

The day is going very slowly. But tonight will be better. Going to Hogans Gallery for the Studio Ink opening with the girls and then dinner with more friends, it should be good.

I'm not addicted

Coffee is a love of mine. Sweet delicious coffee. With full fat milk in latte form, it's just wonderful!

But I'm not addicted.

After discussion with friends on Saturday night I have decided that I will not consume caffeine for one full week.

I'm told that when you go on holiday's and don't drink coffee that doesn't count. So here I am, at work, not drinking coffee.

This comic show's kinda how I already feel though it probably doesn't help that I got to bed late last night after seeing Linkin Park LIVE (exciting!).

I'm now starting to wonder if I can hold out. I love the smell of coffee; that first sip....! AAaah it's all just the best drink ever!

But these thoughts are making me think of Jesse Bradford. Jesse played Joey in Hackers (1995) he gets nabbed by the feds and has to go into rehab for 'computer addiction'. The best part.... oh just watch below, the part I'm referring to starts at 0.56
