Guess who just got their dishwasher fixed… yes you are right, the queens of the palace. We might just have to use a lot of cutlery, plates and pots today just so we can use it! Nice nice nice.
We went to manly last night. It was a great night. We just created a new tradition – Sunday sessions in manly starting now. As chocolate said earlier we went to the wharf. It was a great bar, it was huge and there was lots of people. So we had a couple of beers there and then moved on to shoreclub by the beach. We had to stand in line for ages but it was so worth it! The pace got three floors, we got stuck on the second where there was a GREAT band playing. The girls singing was sooo cool and a great singer. It was even a guy playing saxophone. It was awesome, we def need to go there again and again and again. They’re playing there every Sunday!
We also decided that we’re moving to manly (when are lease ends, in 10 months). It doesn’t take longer than 30 min with the bus to school.
So that was a little update from the right side of the room. Now I’m gonna go try the new dishwasher, or at least look at it for a while. Yaaay!

just saying hey.
just so you all know I (louise, vanilla, master pooface, king of the world, queen of the angels etc.) am not dead. i'm just busy making symbols. well i'll be back shortly with lots of blogging energy.
a day in the life
guess how we started of this beautiful sunday?! first, we ate youghurt with blueberries, pear and banana and then, WE WENT RUNNING! maybe not a big deal for most people, but i can honestly say that ive never done it before! i mean i have been running before, not like this though, when im really serious about it! not counting gymclass at school where they made you run for hours! so im very happy with myself, i was out and about for almost an hour, i did run maybe half of that time and power walked the rest! but mind you, the hills around us might seem tiny, but they are steep as mount everest! so im counting on aching muscles tomorrow - marvellous!
now, antonio's making spaghetti bolognese and me and lou are drawing ideas for our symbols which are due tuesday. im doing a symbol for my cause, its about losing artificial food additives in your diet, especially colour additives, so im thinking about making a rainbow coloured skull as a lollipop, or a plate of food shaped as a skull or the globe in rainbow coloured jelly, what do you think? its only rough ideas so far though! then we have another symbols assignment, we are making 20 symbols for a venue which a 1000 people passes by or uses, im making a spa! a japanese one, and my theme for it is inspired by japanese kokeshi dolls. theyre coming out pretty well so far! theyre not due until week 11 though and week 7 is commencing on monday so we do still have time for it.
tonight were going out in manly. wharf bar, by the, surprise, wharf in manly! its a great place and were meeting up with sophie whos living there! itll be a good night i think, ill bring the camera!
now, antonios food smells so good, i think im gonna get me something to eat.
and, oh...antonio got me my favourite movie sent from sweden - so sweet of him! Its, of course, Roy Andersson's "En Kärlekshistoria" so im as happy as can be and im gonna watch it every day.

wednesday love
i love wednesdays. because on wednesdays we don't have to be in school. no lectures today, yay! and we don't even have that much to do in school right now, it'll pile up soon though so i guess its a good idea to start doing it all now anyway.
anyhow, i do have a group meeting at lunchtime, we're going to pick up our styleguide which is now at the printers. exciting! then we are finishing our pitch and then we are all set to go on friday! im pretty psyched! lulu, our teacher really likes our stuff. she thinks it's perfect! so im pretty confident..
now we're having breakfast. im having semolina (maizena) porridge with soy milk and lingonberry jam - lou's having oatporridge with milk and strawberry jam - yum! and now, we're off to the laundryplace - we need to get our laundry done!
the sun is shining today - wonderful! i don't really get the australian "winter" - it's around 20-25 degrees everyday here. people wear shorts and tshirts! well, i'm not complaining, i love it!
hope all is well! and oh, hope pur packages will arrive soon - they do have some good stuff in them! mine has candy and clothes, shoes and other essentialls and lou's also has candy and clothes and shoes - nice variation :)

Princess beach tour 09/3 - Bondi Beach
As its sunday today, and weve started a little tradition with going to the different sydney sunday markets we went to bondi. What a market!! we couldve bought the lot! there were sooo much nice things, clothes, jewellery, bags, shoes - everything! but, being the good girls as we are, we didnt buy a thing! we decided that we didnt need any of it even though we wanted it really, really bad! so we hung around at the markets and looked at all the beautiful things and the beautiful people - weve discovered that all the beautiful people hides in bondi and manly. and paddington and surry hills of course.
in the beginning there were a whole gang of us going, lou, me, sarah, mia, felix, petra, antonio, robin and cj - but in the end it was only me lou and sarah who ended up going. everyone else had to study, but since lou and i have been so extremely productive we had the day off!
on the way home, we stopped at westfield in bondi junction, had cupcakes, yum, and bought sourdough rye bread. finally some real bread!!! i cant wait!
now im really tired, sarah came over at 3 am this morning after a night out and we shared my 90 cm bed (not to be recommended for every night) so i need a good nights sleep tonight!

Princess beach tour 09/2 - Dee Why Beach
as nicole said we have been very productive today.... parents you should be proud and friends you should be envious. :P well, we didn't go to Warringublablabla (can't remember the name) mall (Warringah Mall - nicoles note), instead we treated ourselves a trip to Dee Why beach, yes that is the place with the best hamburgers in the world. super tasty - they make their own bread and make the meat hamburger thingies on their own with minced lovely meat. ooh and we also tried a smoothie with.. hmm.. fiji berries? (acai - nicoles note), guess i can't remember that name either, probably cause i've been so good today, my brain needs some chocolate that's for sure.
anyway. here's some pictures from todays little adventure. enjoy:

saturday
this has been the longest day, and still its only 1.36. it might have to do with that we got our bathroom painted today. and the painter came over at 7.30..he was a weirdo, did a good job though, our bathroom is now white and the paint will keep away mould, since aussies seems to think what a great idea to build a bathroom, in this humid city, without anything even remotely similar to a fan, yay! when the first layer of paint was drying, the painter went and bought us cappuccinos even though we said no thank you and i even said i was lactose intolerant (not that i am though, but i tried to get out of it) that was replied to with a "come on, don't be so shy" - although, you should never complain when someone wants to buy you cappucinos! but at the time, and due to the weird guy, we definitely. maybe. didnt want any capps!
anyhow, now only half the day has gone by and weve done so much already! ive finished my poster for studio practice, as well as the whole portfolio. and ive done some drafts for a logo and applications for a set of bags. productive! we should always get up this early, then you actually have time to do things other than schoolwork! i do recommend it! (especially to antonio, who apparently just woke up)
yesterday was a quiet night in, me lou and antonio - the original trio - watched into the wild i hadnt seen it before and it was so good! one more thing i recommend! and the soundtrack is amazing - download it now! Eddie Vedder has made the whole thing.
tomorrow, since its sunday, and weve started a very nice tradition, were going to the markets. bondi it is this time, im sure ive said this hundreds of times before, but anyway. were having breakfast at the italian's and then coffee at gusto, i cant drink coffee though. but ill drink tea or something. or a nice smoothie..oh no, its milk in that too. this sucks.
i dont know what were doing tonight, i think weve decided on a quiet weekend, at least me and lou. now weve decided that were totally worthy of a break, so were going to Warringah Mall haha - no one gets this joke besides marcus :) (i hope youre laughing) (and reading)
so, now were off to this magical place!
love nic
