Today I've been wearing my new coat that my Mum bought me from M&S. It's surprisingly warm considering it's a fashion coat. It's a light, light pink colour which I actually quite like too.

Quilted:

Song Of The Day: Uberbyte - If Something Gets Hard (Fuck It)

Reason: Such a great song! Love the double meaning!

Highlight Of The Day: Finishing work for 2 weeks!

Inspiration Of The Day: Nicki Minaj's advice to women.

Today has been one of those days where I feel like I've done a lot but it seems to have been quite long. We bought a new desk from Staples which is really nice, hopefully it'll be build after the weekend so I can start to organise some things in the study. We also bought a mop and bucket so I have a nice clean kitchen floor. Me and my friend made fajitas for the boy and his friends (and ourselves obviously) then I've come online to look for more furniture! Next week I have 2 days off and 3 half days so really looking forward to trying to get some stuff sorted out and done.

Xmas Choccies:
 

Song Of The Day: Nicki Minaj - Va-va-voom
Reason: Saw the video for the first time today, I really like how creative and well styled they are.

Highlight Of The Day: Buying a lovely new desk

Inspiration Of The Day: This article on The Fetlife a photo series by photographer Danny Ghitis. Really amazing how people can have such complex likes and dislikes yet sexual fetishes are still such a taboo and almost cannot be shared freely.

So today is the last PED of 2012. It's been a busy and eventful year with some big changes. Tonight I'm going to be eating takeaway and watching films with friends, which is by far the best way to spend an evening.

New Year:


Song Of The Day: Swedish House Mafia vs Knife Party - Antidote
Reason: Tune!

Highlight Of The Day: Looking forward to two whole days in a row off!!

I finally managed to sort myself some days off! Roll on Wednesday!! My parents came over today to see little Draco, he seemed to take a shine to my Step Dad and sat on him for most of the time they were here. I've also been online xmas shopping, or at least attempting to. Instead I've been looking at furniture on Not On The High Street which has some really nice, different things on. Now we're jsut waiting for our Chinese takeaway to arrive then it's off for an early night (again).

Nearly Friends:


Song Of The Day: Queens Of The Stone Age - You're So Vague
Reason: Really wish I'd gone to see them when they toured last, they were amazing when I saw them at Leeds Festival in 2006

Highlight Of The Day: Knowing that the days off are coming!

This is the cute snow leopard cuddly toy the boy managed to win for me from a grabber machine on my birthday. He's set up camp on my bedside table for now. He's super soft but tends to malt everywhere which is quite annoying!

Snowy:



Song Of The Day: Nickleback - Someday
Reason: Just randomly remembered how good this song is, in a cheesey sort of way

Highlight Of The Day: A nice day to myself just chilling, catching up on chores and working through my to do list.

Today has been a strange day. Firstly, all my random days off have thrown me off my usual track and then going into work at 11am and staying until 8pm has also messed with my concept of time and I've gotten quite used to Mon-Fri 9-5. Anyway, nearly my week off and my birthday!

Snuggle Bunnies:


Song Of The Day: Nachtmahr - Tanzdiktator (Modulate Remix)
Reason: My favourite remix of one of my favourite Nachtmahr songs. Uniforms are super sexy!

Highlight Of The Day: Learning that shooting is an Olympic sport! You learn something new everyday!

Things I Love This Week

Feeling Better - Seem to keep getting ill at the moment, so glad to feel back to normal today!

Private Practice - Just finished season 4, such a good season!

Gecko Babies - Although I love them every week, Carcass is yawning a lot recently, and its the cutest thing ever. I'm a proud gecko mummy.

Moving On In Life - Its nice to feel that people from the past are still stuck in the same place on repeat and to see that I've totally changed everything and am now better off!

Day Off - And with the boy! Makes a change!!

Xmas Shopping - Being prepared meant I had all mine finished weeks ago! I feel sorry for people who leave it until last minute!! 

Urban Exploration

I'm a huge fan of abandoned, deserted places that time forgot. I think there is an incredible beauty in the quiet, isolatedness of a place where no one goes anymore. Recently I've been looking at more and more blogs about the exploration of abandoned places and a lot of the photos I've seen have really moved me. Strange but true! One of the best, if not the best blog I came across was by Michael John Grist's website (I hope he doesn't mind me linking to his site). I spent around 2 hours looking at his photos and reading about his trips exploring locations and felt that I'd been trekking round Japan with him! I'd really recommend having a good read of his website and it's very entertaining.

Recently, I discovered a way into an abandoned airfield within a few miles of where I live. I'm amazed to think that it was there all this time and I had no clue!! So I dragged my poor boyfriend around for a quick look whilst we were looking for locations for Project Black. We only had around 20 minutes before we needed to get back to meet the rest of the crew, but this was long enough to find the control tower and spot a bunker style tunnel.

As soon as I had to be dragged away I wanted to go back. So I planned to go back the following week. We managed to have a good look around pretty much the whole airfield, including the control tower, 2 bunkers, the reservoir and all of the runways. It's amazing!! We did get stopped by a guy who said part of it was private land and asked us to leave. It was a shame but we left without fuss as we'd seen most of what we wanted to anyway. I think I'm going to leave it at least a few months until I go back to see what changes occur.

Here are some photos I took, I'm no photographer, but they're nice to look at methinks and not bad for my first go!:

Things I Love This Week

Dukan Diet - Going to be giving it a go, hopefully it will enable me to have some better eating habits if nothing else!

Days Off - A rarity, but has given me a chance to completely tidy my room and throw away some clutter. Much prefer working on a film though!

Scripts - For every 2094834 scripts that are rubbish, there's always one thats unique - Bad Penguin anyone?

Old Rock Sound: Music With Attitude CDs - Rediscovering my love of songs and bands I used to listen to years ago; Breed 77, Open Hand, Silvertide, InMe to name a few.

Kerrang! Smash It Up CD - The BEST free CD I have ever owned! Completely reminds me of being 15 on holiday and first starting to get into punk and punk rock music.

Charlottes Birthday Meal - Lovely meal at Ask Italian restaurant with the work girls.
