Walking on sunshine

Okay, so bit of a cliche post title, but I am seriously enjoying this burst of sunshine we are having! Thinking back to the winter months, when you’d wake up in the morning and it was dark. Then come home on the bus at 5.30pm, and it was dark. It gets pretty depressing after a while 🙁 I find it so easy to get up at 7am and the bird are chirping outside my window! I don’t know how long it will last, but lets hope its marking the start of a proper summer? Not the half hearted summers we’ve had in years gone past, extreme highs and lows thanks to our changing climate and environment. I mean the proper summers that I remember from being a wee girl, where the weather wasn’t up and down and it was always sunny on sports day and my birthday.

Anyways, that’s enough nostalgia for this post 🙂 It was my last day at the Tron Theatre on friday, and I got a wee thank you card and £20 voucher from HMV from the team there. A lovely surprise! In case you are wondering why, the placement I did was unpaid because I had to complete it as part of my course. So it was very of kind of them to give me a little something at the end. Of course, I’m very impatient so on saturday off I went to spend the voucher! I’m feeling a bit uninspired when it comes to music these days… if anyone feels like making me a mix CD of your fave tunes then I’ll be your friend forever 🙂 haha. So I ended up spotting a few dvd’s that I wanted to add to my collection.

I got…

  Sex And The City Movie – I have never watched the series, but I cried like a baby at the cinema seeing this with my best friend Jenn. She is a die hard fan 🙂

Bedtime Stories – I love easy going films like this, plus Adam Sandler is a total hoot!

Adventureland – Didn’t catch this one at the cinema, but it’s from the makers of Superbad so I’m hoping it will be good.

Pricilla, Queen of The Desert – The seamstress in the fancy dressed I worked in years ago always went on about how amazing this film was. And now that it’s been released as a musical, I figured I better get seeing the movie and hopefully see the show one day too 🙂

So yeah, random Dvd choice and maybe not one of my better judgements but I’m looking forward to chilling out and watching them all. So, what did your weekend consist of? On saturday I got some uni work done, then met David and we went to YoSushi! and then booked my tattoo 🙂 The first appointment I could get was monday 14th of June, so I’ve got a while to wait yet. Such a great little pressie though, I have a lovely boyfriend ♥ On saturday night we watched my brother and sister for a while, and today I went to Tinderbox for tea and cake with my dad, gran and step mummy to be! And my little bro or sis who is due in August, kicking away in Julies belly. They gave me a card with the money to buy my interrail pass, an early 21st birthday present. Good times 🙂 So need to get that done asap.

David had went away home to study so I went for a wander around the shops once my Dad and that had left. It was so warm in the city centre, I got myself some lunch and jumped on the bus home. The rest of my sunday consisted of sitting outside in the sun, doing some writing for uni and generally just being a lazy sunday bum! (please excuse the quality of the photos, the sun was so bright and I couldnt work out the proper exposure on my slr!)

I ate some more of this…

Drank an ice cold bottle of this…

And read a little bit of this!

The most strange thing happened to me. Diesel must have some sort of fashion promo thing going on right now. I was walking up Buchanan street and a woman dressed up like a 1950’s housewife and a guy in an equally as random outfit next to a little portable photo booth were standing next to a payphone which was ringing. The woman came over to me and the phone was ringing, she said you need to do something really random and answer this phone for me. The guy was like go on, be brave! So I did, and I got a congratulations from the person at the end of the phone. They said if I went into the diesel shop further up the street and shouted GORILLA at the cash desk, then they would reward me with a prize. The housewife was taking my picture as I was on the phone, so Im curious to know where it will end up! 🙂 haha was so random. So after I said goodbye, I popped upto the shop and left with a copy of Dazed and Confused magazine, and a tshirt (the one the model is wearing on the front cover) 

I’ve literally just done a bit of research to see if my ramblings make sense on a more realistic scale, and apparently they do!

“Diesel, the international jeans brand, is launching “Be Stupid“, a campaign that encourages consumers to take risks and move beyond the smart and sensible track for life. The campaign, developed at Anomaly London, includes online, press and outdoor advertisements featuring “stupid” acts, a digital recruitment campaign for the Diesel music video/2010 catalogue, and viral activity outlining the company’s Stupid philosophy”

Okay, so that makes slightly more sense! Has anyone else seen these outdoor advertisements? Do you think its effective marketing or not? I scored a free magazine and a tee, but to be honest I don’t really think it makes me want to shop at Diesel.

After all these tattoo chats, I was laughing when I saw tylers latest ‘ink’. I asked her what it was, and she replied rather confidently (as if her big sister is stupid) “It’s a man with a moustache, duh!” Haha, well sorry for not stating the obvious :p She is such a sneaky wee thing, and my mum hates when she draws on herself because the child friendly felt tips she has in her pencil case are actually a nightmare to get off! So she went to her friends birthday party this afternoon with moustache man intact.

Tyler – Looking a bit too pleased with herself!

So after months of working away here and there, I am finally back at uni tomorow. We have a huge degree show the first 3 days in june, so this week I will pretty much be getting down to doing preparation for that. Got some final coursework to do, and I’ve been working on my cv and portfolio for a while now and I am rather pleased with them. Just tying up these final loose ends and trying to keep my head above water. Graduation is just around the corner, I know some of you must know what I will be feeling right now. If you’ve followed some of my older posts, then this is my tecchie ‘headshot’ that I was talking about…

So I have a double chin, you cant see my face or the fact that I’m at a paint splattered sink cleaning a paintbrush… But I aint too fussed 🙂 These individual pictures of each 3rd year student in their ‘environment’ will be on the boards along with our name and specialist subject as people enter the degree show. Exciting stuffs 🙂 Also, I can finally reveal that my ‘good news’ from the previous posts was that I’ve landed myself a job at the BBC starting mid August for four weeks 😀 I cant reveal the tv show yet (don’t want to jinx things) but all I can say is that even though it’s a short contract to begin with, it will be my first proper job and I am absolutely ecstatic. Its on the art department, which is exactly the job I’m wanting to do. It is a huge weight off my shoulders knowing that when I come back from Europe I will have a job waiting for me ♥ A short one, but it’s something I need to start getting used to.

I’m away for a bath before bed, hope everyone has a sunny and cheerful monday morning. Muchos love to all you lovely readers!
