did you know that you can buy giant post-it notes? well, you can! i bought some from officeworks yesterday. i was actually looking for butchers paper and an easel, cause i wanted something large to write on, but then i came across the giant post-its. how can you say no to giant post-its? i bought some giant coloured markers to go with it, and i realised when i got home that these are now officially my first ever crayolas. as a child i would drool over other kid's crayolas and derwents. i waited patiently for the universe to direct someone else to buy me some, but it never happened. i also wanted a barbie but got the cheaper, more rubbery 'cindy' instead. oh, boo-hoo. i actually got my first barbie at about 24 - it's 'indian barbie' and was bought for me by a friend. i knew then i should have left her in the packaging but i couldn't resist - she was, after all, my first barbie. i'd make a really bad toy collector.
on the way back from my brothers, we drove past a large house on burke road past camberwell junction. it's huge, this house, and i've always noticed it because there's a front upstairs window with tiny stickers all over it, and the frontage of the house looks elegant and gentle... but then you look around the side, and this house goes on forever, huge brick thing with all these pipes and stuff snaking up and down and across the side. anyway, someone had vandalised the front, but rather neatly - whatever they'd written went for two long lines all the way across the front rendered brick fence, and the only bit that wasn't painted over was a drawing of either a hamster or a rat.
hmmm. i would love to find out exactly what had been written there.
