Yay! just uploaded a small "not working yet, but hey!" message to my site. BUT, you know what that means?! My site is on its way to becoming real!

Anyway, now that the evil of evils (cPanel) is no longer part of the "great unknown" I shall get back to working on my assignment and fear its future upload into the interwebs - no more! :D

dear frankie

Yay! my frankie 2011 diary came in the post today... and its so pretty and vintage I just want to curl up in bed and fill it up with notes. ♥

wishful thinking

Whilst being faced with my computer yet again waging war upon me, I have again turned to that thing which tortures all people - the wish list. Those desires that we have which seem so unobtainable...

However, late last night I casually asked my father if he would give me four grand, after he enquired what for and I explained that I wished to purchase an iMac he simply responded "yes. I think that's the way you're going to have to go". I was so elated I couldn't speak. Silly dad that he is. Mum just shook her head and laughed this morning as I recounted the event and triumphantly announced that I would hold them to this promise.

I know this might not happen, but with the rate that my computer likes to crash and destroy all my files, as well as the number of virus' it collects as it cruises the net; I feel (more and more strongly) that apple may just hold the key to solving some, if not all, of my computer difficulties.

The white iPhone 4 has been added, since my youngest sister and older brother have got their black ones, and being a lover of all things techno, I hate being out done, not that I can see it being any more efficient than my 3Gs so I really shouldn't complain... it's one of those 'wishes' which are more or less fleeting.

The travel bag by Amy Butler, however, is torture I want it so much. I however, lack the time and money to purchase the materials for and to make such a lovely bag and will more than likely just use one of our ugly travel bags come February when we head back to Melbourne for my cousin's wedding.

jet setting

As our flight home began the day was ending, and the amazing view of being above the clouds at sunset was something I wanted to capture and share, however, I only had my iPhone on hand (so please pardon the grainy, darkness of the pic). There was a lot more light at the time, but editing didn't do this photo any justice, so I've simply uploaded the original, in the hopes that its beauty may be appreciated however dark the image may be.

I did enjoy the trip to Melbourne, it was great catching up friends whom I haven't seen in years, and the best part is just falling into conversation and friendship as though you only saw each other the day before; which makes the upcoming trips back to Melbourne something to look forward to.

Also, I want to make a special mention of the trams. These may not be much to some, but this weekend was my first time using the 'light rail' and I enjoyed it, much like the enjoyment I get from riding the trains when we visit Sydney. Of course, I even enjoyed catching buses when I was in High School, so I guess I'm just easily amused :D

workity work

I'm feeling rather pleased with how this semesters work has been turning out, since I've been trying my hardest to stay on top of everything and try not to get overwhelmed etc.

I've just uploaded my initial design over on my uni blog (check it, if you're interested). It's a website re-design that the class has to do.

Anyway, I'll be heading to Melbourne for the next four days or so, which I'm not all that excited about, just because that's four days away from my computer and the work I could be doing... but it'll be nice... I hope.

It's really late, I should have perhaps thought of something interesting to say before I started this entry, but I planned poorly and I guess cyber space has to pay for it. :D
