thank you for the music

I'm a creature of habit, and I like the idea of tradition. However, there is only one tradition I partake in that is really my own. Every year, around may, I make a compilation CD and force my 'personal' and somewhat 'acquired' taste in music on Amy. This started out as a birthday gift idea for poor, unsuspecting Amy in year ten. For some reason I never got out of the habit. Strangely enough, she seems to look forward to this. However this year I'm extremely late, as it is a gift belated by nearly two months. But I'm rather pleased with the outcome, and happily listened to it on the tram on my way to the University of Melbourne this morning.

18 songs for 18 years. Happy Birthday Amy! (and I apologise for the 70s. They didn't know any better)

On a different note, today was the University of Melbourne's Access All Areas. In all truthfulness it was rather boring, and the highlight of my day was definitely Lygon Street and San Churros. For those who have never experienced churros, I like to know if you've been living under a rock for the past ten years. This is what you're missing.

Spanish donuts and dipping chocolate.

Chocolate macadamia tart which Kris and Andy (my Grecian lovelies) ordered

It was supposed to be an 'M' and a Heart

Looking just a bit glamorous

This is me being a being a bit artistic, and a bit proud of my lacing.

I apologise for all fuzziness and bluring. I blame it on the lighting, shutter speed and the movements of my models. I of course, am perfect.
