So exhausted… and I still have my sister’s wedding song to finish D: strong tea, be my friend tonight. Please?

Midi sounds aren’t exactly helping either. Have you ever tried transcribing music on Sibelius and all you hear all night long are the horrid nails-down-the-board sounds of midi violins, viola, and cello? If you have, and know how migraine inducing it is, then please spare a thought for me.

In another, completely irrelevant note: Pink candy-floss hair rocks, me thinks!

Fooling around with my pink wig. I’m still looking for an occassion where I will be able to actually wear it… hmm…

You know you’re in for a special treat when you get shivers down your spine upon hearing the faint music of a fair from across the river. It was an absolute pleasure to be handed a brochure at Supanova to this year’s Winterfest Medieval Fair, and by this brave knight, no less:

How could anyone say no? And so, this morning, I went to the fair. Parsley, sage, rosemary, thyme, and the whole shebang.

I LOVED studying the Medieval and Renaissance periods. When I did Medieval History for Year 9, I was lucky enough to participate in my school’s first (and, to my knowledge, last) Medieval Fair. I was the High Commissioner, see. I played the part of a villain who passed judgement on women deemed to be practicing witchcraft. But that was the last time I’ve been to a Medieval Fair…

Until now, that is.

Aren’t these guys just the coolest? I wish I had a costume appropriate for Medieval Fairs, but alas! Alas!

PS: Bonus pic because I think these knights were simply the best for lending me their sword:

Oh, and that sword’s heavier than it looks. No kidding bro, I think that sword was legit.

Found it! A drawing of a gryphon that I did when I was around 10 or 11 years old

I believe that dragons existed in the past, and they never really left this world. They are simply in a deep, enchanted sleep, their dreams filled with visions of an ancient world, waiting for a hero to come and wake them once again.

The gryphons, however, were not so fortunate. The elves and the gnomes number in their smallest. The unicorn has transformed to an untameable beast. The mermaids have gone. The faeries are in deepest hiding.

Oh Modernity and Maturity, what have you and your pet monkeys done?

It’s starting to get chilly here in Sydney. And nothing comforts me better at 12am than a cup of hot chocolate. Here you see it in front of my laptop as I work on mixing a new track (which originally had a cleaner electronic/industrial sound, but now it’s taken a dirtier flavour. I like it!)

Also, I very firmly believe that hot chocolate tastes better when it’s slurped. And I don’t like marshmallows in my hot chocolate.

Razor in my wire is tasty and addictive. But ultimately destructive.

Only chocolate is good. It is not the food of the gods: It is a god made edible.

So don’t insult my chocolate.

I went to the opening of Lang Leav’s Akina show at Kinokuniya (exhibition closes June 1) last week and, because photography wasn’t allowed, had to wait until Lang Leav herself uploaded the photos and stuff. There were a few photos of me in the background (wish I knew the cameras were going already. Wouldve done some backflips for them).

Anyway I’m not sure if I’m allowed to post the exhibition photos here, so I’ll just show you a couple where I’m actually in it to avoid a lawsuit XD

Photo 1: Discussing the subliminal message in the illustrations

Photo 2: Posing for the camera

There should have been a Photo 3 with Lang Leav but for some reason she didn’t upload it Oh well. Anyway I think that’s about as much as I’m allowed to post here. But if you want more just check out the Akina website. She’s really awesome and super nice

Now fridge shot!

This was when I was still happy and flu-less. Now my nose is blocked, my head is stuffy, and all I want to do is sleep forever. Damn stupid flu.
