Best snacks ever 

I've still been obsessively listening to Kraftwerk and re-watching documentary clips on Youtube with original members. This is so typical of me. Whenever i get into something, i REALLY get into them and then basically exhaust all my interest in a short time frame because it's so concentrated. But i feel like Kraftwerk are one of those timeless bands that i'll always love. Like Air and singers like Michael Jackson and Lana del Rey. No matter what happens in life, i'll always be listening to them. I said to my friend at work the other day that you can tell what artists i really like by whether i have their full albums or not. If i have a full album by a band or artist, i really dig them. If they're OK-ish, i just have one or two songs which i like by them.

I bejeweled my phone !!|

Not much is on. Just the usual work every couple of days, wine time alone and some catch ups with people here and there. I've begun writing again for publication which is exciting and much needed. Although i haven't actually started on the pieces yet. One is a book review for 1Q84 and the other is an old essay i wrote that i have to re-edit. I've told my editors that i'm back in the game though, so they know.  My mum says she is going to buy me a ticket to New York scheduled to leave for September as a gift. My parents have been so unbelievably generous to me which i'm so thankful for. My dad says that i have to start saving now which i'm 1000% dedicated to doing because he proposed a deal to me. Whatever amount i save after one thousand, he'll double it. This is such a good deal, i can't believe how amazingly awesome he's being. But i mean, it's kind of what you have to do to get me to really save though. I'm starting to get embarrassed at my lack of self control with money. It makes me seem really irresponsible and privy to impulses. I am a bit of both because i always listen to my heart and seldom my head but this time, shit gets real coz my mum is buying me a ticket.
