a tiny little project in the making…

I love where I live – Shoreditch. I love taking pictures. I love blogging. So I decided to combine this into my little new project: www.shoreditchstreets.co.uk

Now I’m still in the process of the layout and colours and theme etc. etc. I’m trying to more myself this time as I assumed it would somehow be easier than the two big fashion content sites I recently picked up (let me know if you’re interested – but be warned – they serve ‘commercial’ purposes so its not like I speak my mind on there really) so I wouldn’t hassle Jaymz too much…but it looks like I still can’t help getting him involved…ah well…

Soon more and more pics will be on there and then you can all admire the edgy and cool heart of East London thanks to my amateur photography skills :) woohay – who wouldn’t want that?!

paint and write…

I wish I could paint. I wish I had all my painting stuff here. But it’s all still in Munich in K.’s cellar. This means I haven’t painted in 10 months. How depressing.

Earlier today I felt like painting. But then I did also feel like screaming and maybe throwing a fragile object against a wall.  But then no, I cleaned instead. I did a major clean – moving all furnite to hoover into the most hidden corners, throwing away lots of old paper and magazines and even desinfecting my windows with Dettol (the “kills 99.9% of all bacteria version”). Writing it down now makes it sound really oc but it didn’t seem like it at the time. And it was a really good idea coz now my room is cleaner than ever before, yay.

In the process (both before and after the cleaning) I decided to indulge in a burst of binge shopping as well. This has now resulted in a spend of over 250 pounds which can be ‘allocated’ to three pairs of jeans, 6 tops, a dress, a skirt and 2 bags. While cleaning I realised I have no space to put the stuff I already have. Did that stop me from getting more? Of course not, why would it?!

Anyway, so this now means that I still can’t paint. Am ever more broke than I was before – I thought I couldn’t more broke than I was but then I am so gifted at certain things (spending my own money). Will soon have even more shit I won’t know where to put. So I basically did some totally unecessary oc shopping, then some oc cleaning (actually useful) and then some more pointless oc shopping I now realise in this enlightening moment. I am sooo tired and can’t sleep. And I have a squeaky clean room.
