hi! i'm als & this is my blog.

i write about random things.
these days i write pretty sporatically.
sometimes i completely rave about something, like a tv show but sometimes i write pretty serious things.
i write in short phrases, i like the freedom of not having to write in proper punctuation and grammar.
i'm a christian. i also ♥ music, art, photography, movies, tv & books.

hope you enjoy ♥

help! i'm alive #255



















"i tremble
they're gonna eat me alive.
if i stumble,
they're gonna eat me alive.
can you hear my heart beating like a hammer?
beating like a hammer?
help! i'm alive.
my heart keeps beating like a hammer."

i've been listening to this song on repeat
metric - help, i'm alive
i finally bought the album today
at highpoint
whilst i was there with emma
who was looking for a job.
though she seemed to be hardly looking since she only dropped two resumes

but anyway.
need to studyyyyyyyy

#227 detangle my tangles!




















on friday, i did end up buying the freelance whales album
photo of them above
(i quite like the photo, its cute.)
i was pretty excited when i saw it on the shelf
i may have possibly have gone 'yesssssss!' aloud
when i was behind someone
the guy moved slightly.
he probably thought i was weird
or something.
:)

also, because my hair gets really knotty
really often
i also had to buy a johnsons kids strawberry sensation no more tangles spray
funny how there aren't any detangling sprays for adults.
but oh well,
i like smelling like strawberries.



this whole week Don Carson will be speaking at Storey Hall (the green RMIT building, across from melbourne central)
so if you ever had ANY questions at all about christianity
please come :)
i'll be going all the nights
except thursday.



i'll just copy what it says on the CU website

Many people have questions about Christianity, life and faith and how it all fits together.

NOW…..during RMIT week 6…. there is a great opportunity to spend a night or 2….or 5, thinking through these issues.
Don Carson, an internationally renowned speaker, and author on all things Christian, is flying into Melbourne and is booked at RMIT’s very own Storey Hall for 5 nights of epic talks, slick music and decent dramatic performances.

Each night is different so come to one…..or come to all…AND bring your friends.

• Monday 23 August ~ How can we see God?
• Tuesday 24 August ~ How can we start over again?
• Wednesday25 August ~ How can God Have a Son?
• Thursday 26 August ~ How to get the best Bread in the World.
• Friday 27 August ~ How can I believe Jesus rose from the dead!

Whether you are just curious, or seriously sceptical, then this event is for you….AND ITS FREE!

Time: 7.00pm – 9.00 each night
Location: Storey Hall, 342 Swanston St, Melbourne

:( uni #195


first day of uni of the semester today
i skipped the first two lectures
because i was still at clara's
and still uber tired
i had to endure some bs class for two hours
when she could have given us the lecture notes
instead of slowly frying our brains
but anyway.

i also bought tegan and sara's sainthood yesterday
because it was $15
haha
i've only listened to it a couple times
it's ok so far.
though, i might need to listen to it a bit more to get into it.













this is also a uber cute version of them singing 'alligator'
daniela sent it to me
they changed the lyrics :)
so cute.

#189


i bought 3 cds today
which made my day
as i've mention time and time again
buying cds makes me excited

i bought:

Muse - The Resistance
though i really should have it already
and i love Muse because their albums are always so complete
as in liste
ning to the album is an experience as a whole
and not just having a couple of good songs spread across the whole album
like some artists
also, in United States of Eurasia, the complete song and key change
the moment for some reason reminded me of We Are the Champions (Queen)
they're probably singing in the same key i guess



Vampire Weekend - self titled
i wasn't really planning to buy it
but it was cheap
and it has many of the tracks that i like from Vampire Weekend so i bought it












and lastly


Tegan and Sara - The Con
which i should also already have
but don't
(because of the lack of funds)
i also wanted to buy The Sainthood
but it wasn't that cheap
so i shall buy it later
to complete my Tegan and Sara collection

far.


i got a new cd today:
Regina Spektor - Far
i really love Blue Lips (& Folding Chair)
they were the reason i bought the album.
i do quite like the album
in terms of this album vs old albums
i think it is a little more mainstream & pop (actual pop, not the electro crap.)
and a little less quirky
but she still is quirky though. (i like that word)
& i still like it
&
it also has a bonus dvd
:)


a thing i love about regina spektor is the random lines she has
so here are some of my favs from this album:

"i've got a perfect body, but sometimes i forget
i've got a perfect body, cos my eyelashes catch my sweat
yes they do, they do." Folding Chair

"two birds on a wire,
one tries to fly away
and the other watches him close from that wire
he says he wants to as well
but he is a liar"
Two Birds

"i have no wallet
i keep my cards together with a blue rubber band
and with a free hand
i search in my pockets
for pieces of, pieces of paper and change" Wallet

i love love love getting new cds.
have i mentioned that already?
i probably have.

the reason i love buying cds
is that
i love ripping them open
and seeing the contents
and the booklet
and art
i don't know.
i just really like have the cd.
something physical to hold.

LOVE
