Just a quick note to say that I’m currently consumed by midterm projects and will spending just about every waking hour from now until Sunday night working on them. Unfortunately, that means my poor little blog will have to be temporarily left to fend for itself until Monday when my Spring Break starts. (Please be Monday now! I cannot wait to bask in blissful nothingness!) I have one more post which I’d prepared in advance knowing that I’d be eaten alive by school work this week. So expect it to pop up on Friday. :) Until then, I’ll leave you with the following editorial which I’m currently super inspired by. The jewel tones! The glitter! The Miu Miu! The interiors! The pattern! The puff sleeves! The eye make-up! I could go on and on.

Anticipating… the release of Tim Burton’s Alice in Wonderland in the next few days. The Alice books have been favourites of mine since childhood, so I’m quite excited to see Burton’s take on them.
Also anticipating… the release of the new Goldfrapp album, Head First, and She & Him’s album, Volume II, which are both out this month on March 23! So excited!
Trying… (to no avail) to clean out my feed reader. I have way too many blog subscriptions and I can’t keep up with them any more. How on earth do people decide which to unsubscribe from? This is too hard.
Re-watching… Skins series 1. Classic.
Puppysitting… my aunt and uncle’s dog. She’s so adorable!
Listening… to copious amounts of A Fine Frenzy and Tori Amos. I always go through strange phases with my music.

“I’ve been making a list of the things they don’t teach you at school. They don’t teach you how to love somebody. They don’t teach you how to be famous. They don’t teach you how to be rich or how to be poor. They don’t teach you how to walk away from someone you don’t love any longer. They don’t teach you how to know what’s going on in someone else’s mind. They don’t teach you what to say to someone who’s dying. Honestly, they don’t teach you anything important.”
~ Neil Gaiman

Enjoying… a ridiculously long winter break. It’s been so wonderful though. I’ve had lots of time to relax, watch movies, read, loaf around, and be generally quite lazy.
Reading… 3 whole books this month, and I’m working on the 4th! Before now, I hadn’t read a book since August. (Appaling, I know.) I devoured The Kalevala, The Alchemist, and The Private Lives of Pippa Lee. I’m currently reading The Piano Teacher.
Listening… to Debussy’s Cloches à travers les feuilles. I’m enthralled by this piece of music. I’m going to start learning it on piano.
Exercising… or trying to. I got terribly lax on my exercise regime in December, and I’m trying to work up my endurance again. As a Twitter friend so cleverly put it: “I’m not going to call it working out. I’m going to call it horror movie training. You never know when you’ll need to run.” My new motivation.
Compiling… many-a-mixtape. One of my favourite pass-times is creating playlists in iTunes. I have a bajillion. I’ve made quite a few more than normal this month. Suffice to say, I’m very excited for February’s Mixology.
Listening… and rather obsessively I might add, to Pete Yorn & Scarlett Johansson’s album The Break Up. It’s so fantastic. I’m addicted to the song I Am The Cosmos. No lie, I listen to it every day. And have for a good month.
Preparing… for back to school. Yes, my winter break is quickly coming to an end. It’s back to studying for me on Monday.
Shopping… lots and lots and lots. Probably too much. But I can’t help myself. It’s that time of year: post holiday sales time. I don’t spend a lot throughout the year, so I let myself go a little overboard every January as a treat to myself.
Anticipating… the final season of Lost! It’s all I could think about these last few weeks, and I can’t wait! Only a few days away now.
Stomping… around in my two new pairs of boots! Two months into the snowy season, and I finally have boots. It was kind of pathetic before. But I’m finally armed with two super stylish and practical pairs. Fear me, winter!
Blogging… up a regular-sized storm! Yes, I initially planned to do NaBloPoMo this month, but it became too stressful, too much like school. So I stuck to my regular posting ‘schedule’. A schedule I refer to as blogging whenever I feel like it. :P I’d much rather post things when I’m inspired to do so, than be forced to each day.

I’m going to be a bit MIA this week as I have finals and I still have SO much to draw. Sleep is a word that is no longer in my vocabulary at the moment. Stress is my middle name. Thinking about everything I still have to do is very, very overwhelming. So I’ll see you all on Sunday when I’m freeee! ♥
