• I came across this gorgeous little paper goods website called Papermash, run by Lynne from Tea For Joy, and as the shop has just opened she is holding a competition where you could win a years worth of stationery. Obviously, this is totally up my alley. I'm so on that. Here are some of my favourite things from her little shoppe:
  
  
  1. Lace tape 2. Paris Polaroid postcards 3. Library birthday card
  
  
• Imgfave is a picture sharing website like Ffffound, minus the invite only policy. Very interesting browsing.
  
  
• Cute girls in glasses.
  
  
• As you're probably aware, director John Hughes (The Breakfast Club, Ferris Bueller's Day Off, Home Alone) sadly passed away this week. My friend Paige sent me the link to the website of a movie made recently called "Don't You Forget About Me" and I'm really interested to see what it's like.

Today C, our friend 'T-Bone' and I went to see the Newcastle Jets play the Wellington Pheonix. Overall it was a really good game. We won, which is always a nice extra. Afterwards we got takeaway (my favourite laksa) and went to Film Society, where we saw a French/Lebanese film called 'Caramel' which was subtle, but it had some really moving moments, I liked it.

Now I'm gonna drink some tea and relax :) C has become obsessed with this game called Frozen Bubble and I think it's driving him crazy, quite literally. His eyes have almost turned into the little Frozen Bubble balls.
