Petals Marked With Spots: April 2010
http://petalsmarkedwithspots.blogspot.com/2010_04_01_archive.html
Wednesday, April 14, 2010. I’ve made my own toasted muesli. This is big news. 8221;). Well, although I’m not yet converted to bread-making (for now, I’m buying Vogels or bread from Brooklyn Bagels, thanks) I have undergone a complete cereal turnaround. And so now I’m spreading the home-made muesli love. But, if walnuts, spices, lots of dates and honey is how you like the oats in your muesli to roll (please tell me someone got that joke), read on. 188; cup canola oil. A generous ½ cup of honey. Leave the ...

Petals Marked With Spots: July 2010
http://petalsmarkedwithspots.blogspot.com/2010_07_01_archive.html
Sunday, July 18, 2010. It's that time of year again. Right now, Wellington can either be stunningly beautiful, channelling Tennyson's "all in the blue, unclouded weather," or unapologetically foul, as the Cook Strait is rained, blown and spewed upon the streets, houses and hills. Basically it's this one day:. And something like this the next:. The state of the weather is a little bit off-topic, but my point is that each year, mid-to-late July heralds the New Zealand International Film Festival. There's s...

Petals Marked With Spots: Laneway Festival (NB: Not actually in a lane.)
http://petalsmarkedwithspots.blogspot.com/2010/02/laneway-festival-nb-not-actually-in.html
Tuesday, February 9, 2010. Laneway Festival (NB: Not actually in a lane.). Clock-tower, stage adjacent. Compared with Big Day Out a week or so earlier, the atmosphere at Laneway was groovy and vintage. No shirtlessness anywhere. Lots more 80s sundresses. Stacks more Doc Martin boots. And, a whole tonne of chilled out indie popster punters. And then there was the line up: The Middle East! Though unfortunately they were on at the same time as…) Mumford and Sons! So how did it all turn out? 8221; and diving...

Petals Marked With Spots: September 2010
http://petalsmarkedwithspots.blogspot.com/2010_09_01_archive.html
Friday, September 17, 2010. I need to break my webcomic addiction. This comic, titled "Outreach" from xkcd. Is perhaps the only thing that gives me a tiny twinge of envy when people tell me they're studying science. Once I stop laughing at the comic though, I remember that my degree means I get to read children's books and have only nine contact hours of classes a week. Take that, flying shark-wielding scientists. Wednesday, September 15, 2010. Kinoko Fry. And coffee. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). What we ...

Petals Marked With Spots: November 2009
http://petalsmarkedwithspots.blogspot.com/2009_11_01_archive.html
Monday, November 30, 2009. Beauty and the Beast. 8220;Beauty and the Beast”: A traditional French fairytale where, in traditional fairytale style, the heroine’s mother is absent (let’s assume she’s died in some appropriately romantic way, like from consumption or from blood-poisoning - whatever). To the ultimate symbol of unrestrained, brutal masculinity: The Beast. Who has to contend with the sexy, wicked Malevolent. Belle, on the other hand, only has to take on male adversaries. So back to the Beast...

Petals Marked With Spots: Kinoko Fry. And coffee.
http://petalsmarkedwithspots.blogspot.com/2010/09/kinoko-fry-and-coffee.html
Wednesday, September 15, 2010. Kinoko Fry. And coffee. The latest update on the wonderful Hark! Was a guest comic by Rebecca Clements from Kinoko Fry. Kinoko Fry, it turns out, is all kinds of awesome. It's sort of like SuperMario, some anime and The Nightmare Before Christmas had an inky three-way (oh dear, where am I going with this? Which somehow resulted in a love-child. And that love-child was beautiful and humourous, knew that comics needed tight and strong narratives. View my complete profile.

Petals Marked With Spots: January 2010
http://petalsmarkedwithspots.blogspot.com/2010_01_01_archive.html
Friday, January 29, 2010. Burnt, Dehydrated, Overtired (But Definitely Out-there! As my cunning acronym inspired title may have alerted you, this is a post about Big Day Out – specifically mine and my lovely lady friends’ adventures at this years’ first Sydney show (22. Are the girls in Sydney so much further ahead in the fashion stakes than me? Anyway. On to the music. And most of Peaches (who wins major hilarious awesome points for encouraging the last clothed 20% of the crowd to strip by saying she wa...

Petals Marked With Spots: May 2010
http://petalsmarkedwithspots.blogspot.com/2010_05_01_archive.html
Tuesday, May 25, 2010. Honestly, I don't think art gets much better than this. Perth-based artist Bennett Miller has created an instillation which critiques the dysfunctional nature of the U.N. using, wait for it, dachshunds. 47 of them, one for each member-nation, and a chairperson (or chairdog). 47 dachshunds. How very, very fantastic. Because I really should continue writing my essay on Alfred, Lord Tennyson (best name ever! With Miller, as he describes what he is trying to convey through the piece:.

Friday, August 20, 2010. In an effort to procrastinate further, I thought I would share some lovely gems from the magazine. So I'm pretty sure I need to get myself one of these pantsuits! So practical, yuet so stylish. Did anyone say Orlando Bloom? A girls gotta have some croched pants! I'm really not sure what's goiung on in this pic, but that sparkly number is amazing! I'm guessing this pic is trying to advertise the furniture? But that guy is hilarious! Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).
