I told you I was no good

I'm sorry you died.


Everybody still jokes about you, even now that you're dead. I don't think they realise they're fucked up too. I think we all like to feel better about our own, more socially acceptable, forms of addiction.


We only said goodbye with words, I died a hundred times. xx

Possum


So I will, I will I will start blogging again. And what better way to announce my return (to the 2 people who read this, including my mum) than a picture of my cat. Since cats are pretty much my main interest in life. Not really. But also not not really.


PS. Look at those ginger roots! Oh the shame. Outshined only by the yellow hairband. Lord.


I will be more interesting in future, pinky promise.

Yay presents!

So a while ago the lovely Angie organised the Present Project...where everyone who signs up gets someone to send a present to. I was lucky enough to get Angie herself, who writes my favouritest blog ever! 

You can see what I sent her here...and this is what she sent me... 






Angie I love everything! Thank you so so much! I've been wearing everything non-stop. You are wonderful :)

Mouth orgasm

So Engage turned 4 about 2 weeks into my internship, and so we all went to Myoga to celebrate.
(Spoiler: Myoga gives you mouth orgasms)


We did the 6-course tasting menu with copious amounts of wine. Each course has about 5 options each, so so great. My choices were easy because of veggieness, but how others would choose I have no idea.


My 6 courses were:
Mouth tickler: Goats cheese and jalapeno samoosa with mango salsa and coriander
Salad: Haloumi and asparagus salad with poached egg and aged balsamic red pepper
Pasta: Potato gnocchi with smoked pumpkin, sage butter, roasted seeds and truffle cream
Cleanser: Lemon lime sorbet
Main: Wild mushroom risotto with asparagus and pecorino shavings
Sweet: Sticky banoffi pudding with glazed rum banana and vanilla bean ice cream


Possibly the best meal I have ever had.

Being grown-up (pfft)

So I am now a 'Creative Brandcrafter' (ie designer) at Engage Brandcraft in Greenpoint. We're opposite Beluga, which is rather dangerous when peanut butter sandwiches start losing their appeal...
I work with 4 great guys; Chris, Ian, Dijon and Vaughn. Chris talks branding even when drunk, Dijon puts porn music on for all of us to enjoy, Ian says "Just saying" a lot and Vaughn gets fillings without anaesthetic. I ask questions all the time and have the only messy desk in the office.
Feels good to be earning and working with awesome people all day :)
