HTFU

This is amusing my lots at the moment and i feel something i should take on board with some things i have going on ..

give me a break ..

shove all that amazingness the trip gave me - im paying for it now in utter wide awakeness . Ive been awake all night and now its 7 am and i have to get up and get myself out to the airport and off to cornwall . Gutted . 

Since i gave up trying to sleep two hours a ago i have found out 

1. about 1 billion bike seats i wanna buy 

2. the fact that my (as i thought) amusingly titled blog has a name share with a incredibly polictically educated cat - www.katablog.com. He knows way more than me .

3. David shrigley still rocks.. 

summer calling ..

ah dear .. i just worked a 14 hourer; screw longer nights and sunny days,  that fact is officially the sign of the start of the summer and the event season. Hmm. Ill be honest - this year im not convinced ! 

Co co co coachella .


I just returned from a 11 day jaunt to coachella and cali . To say it was wonderful would not do it justice . Totally amazing. Me and heezer who i went with are utterly compatible road trip buddies . I love a good road trip . Only downer were that both of our ipods broke just before we left . i had the bright idea to get a 4 cd 80s rock classics albumn . it turned out to be a kareoke one made from a casio keyboard . Whoever wasnt driving got to sing.





heather won a giant stewie at universal studios .

 It was a highlight of our lives!

 

As if i wasnt going to get some bike time !




Other key highlights were

Strolling/swanning around ridiculous pool parties
Parking in artists parking beside chloe sevigny  (i know, i know celeb geek!) 
sipping silly cocktails by the rossevelt pool
the worlds' BEST cheesburger in the worlds BEST diner ! Straight out of grease!
Bikey shops in LA
Seeing russell brands hair . HUGE . like a giant nest.
Gigantic lie ins

From the top !

Ive just switched over from another blog site ( as me layout was annoying me!) and going to take me a while to get this all sorted .

I want to get the archive sorted as its been going for a while and i have some good on there . Basically this is just a place where i post about general shanigans going on in my life and the ways of London . I do it 50% for my own joy and amusement and 50 % for the fact that at the grand old age of 28 i have to write things down all the time . Long may this serve as a visual memory of whats ive been up to otherwise ill totally forget .

In the meantime whilst im waiting to figure out via google how to transfer you can have a selection of pictures of things that i have loved over last year or so ..

Below tis I - i love this photo as it doesn really look like me . my friend nate took it . i call him the worlds' best photographer . He is a good pal and shoots tons for work for us . he never minds that we put "must take pictures of us girls looking hot" in his photography brief .

And yes, in answer to your question - i guess i am slightly vain . but i challenge you to find me someone who doesnt like to look well , nice !

.. this is a more accurate desciption of what i look like (albeit standard myspaz pose and flash!)

I lovethis picture as it was from my birthday in 05 or 06 (See, I AM useless!) In Iceland . We were in middle of nowhere with poulos with work and the thing we came to work on broke in first 10 minutes and we were 4 hours from anywhere ! gutted ! It was also so windy i couldnt get out of van incase i blew away .

Next up is my bike. Its amazing and called Joe Lightening . He is my best friend . We go everwhere together . ive become bike obsessed in the last year . Seriously love it ! gets you fit, makes london smaller, met some great new people, is something that allows me to spend hours on web getting sorted ! Seriously . What not to love ! It bought london some more time did Joe . If youve read old posts you would be more than be up to speed on my love / hate relationship with this amazing/annoying as hell city !

Pals pals pals . Thats what life is made for (that and family guy watching) im lucky to have a good bunch here and all over . and they are all pretty funny too . good times ! here are some of our heads !

right after this photo the wee doggie ravaged gendles' jeans leg ! (in the nice dog way not the rottweiler way)

Work . Its a major one but after 5 years im really trying to not do it 12 hours a day anymore . Semi retirement in old age ! My work is fun - kind of like a high school . This pic summarises it . This was from a christmas party where i attempted to be the apex of a human pyramid . We failed - utterly not my fault of course , there was a creaky lynchpin on the bottom row. you can just see my little legs there . I fell hard - akin to a ton o bricks

This other picture was taken from a trip to a snowboarding film contest . We got a head from nate friend that was used in a horror film . That thing gave me el creeps for weeks !

Another massive thing of mine is snowboarding . Growing up in ze mountains and then living in the best place in the world - portes du soleil for a season was the best thing ever . Was 21 , saved for 3 years to do it and do jack all work - got there and had a ball . met on on my bestest friends on that trip - She still lives there with her man and their zoo . I miss them!
