what's the time mr wolf?

high tea time!

i wish.

i was trolling through my favourite site for bankruptcy, etsy, and decided that i want to make a feature wall. a feature wall of clocks! i told ben (my partner) and he seemed less than pleased, as our clock from ikea likes to make sure it gets noticed by its tick tocking. although i prefer this excuse then him interrogating me where i would put them all. i get this from him everytime i want to purchase a new frame, painting, table tennis table, air hockey table..

bah, details... buy now, fit later.

i do although love how my walls are set up in the lounge room. on my left i have a collection of nintendo characteture prints from fort awesome studios, my own paintings on skateboard decks, random assortment of other prints (mark ryden for one), ikea clock and my favourite vintage floral plate with 'shithead' painted on it from trixie delicious (which was actually my first etsy purchase ever).

then in front of me, i have our tv mounted on the wall. then to my right my 3ft fish tank surrounded by an angelique houtkamp print 'cornelia' and my all time favourite movie poster japanese edition, labyrinth. david bowie is the dreamiest goblin king ever. then behind me i have a montage of frames housing numerous disney posters from japan. i have heaps more i need to frame though but i try to hold off going to ikea until i have a herald worthy parchment with my list of must-buys.

'need' and 'want' are not part of my vocabulary, its only 'must'.

giles spring 2009

after his post about nintendo gadgets and returning home after a midnight launch for a new game (modern warfare 2) it inspired me for a new post. the midnight launch itself wasnt as exciting as i thought it would be, although i only have 3 others to compare it to. the first one was for the wii, which was i guess boring apart from the fact that the security gaurds kept telling us to enter via different entry points... which also happen to be on opposite sides of the shopping mall. so after lots of walking back and forth and a ride in the security mini car, we just sat around and waited. the second one is my favourite, not for the game but for the cupcake overdose i nearly induced. nom nom nom. the third we went a bit late and it was pouring with rain, no one was there and they were closing up. although because him is a regular they let us in and also questioned as to his whereabouts, saying 'its not a launch without you there'. laugh. then there was the one tonight. standing in line. fun. with a drunk girl protesting with one of the clerks that she SWEARS she would trade her mobile for his mario hat. he didnt because clearly he wouldnt be up for the employee of the month running if he did. and she wasnt super model.

don't blow this.

nintendo hard drive by 8bitmemory @ etsy

Looks like Super Mario 3, but plays like a hard drive - 500GB to be precise, just about enough space to hold every game from your childhood or childhood you never had and are trying to relive. Does not include carefree adolescence.
