A new beginning

Had to wear a hat and scarf it was that cold. Autumn is officially here.

I much prefer the colder weather. I feels so nice to be able to rug up. I did plan on using Summer and going to the beach as much as possible. I think I went three time, during Summer I actually lived quite close to the beach and still didn't make the effort. Maybe I am not a Summery person.

Yeah! Hats - 02/03

Originally I took that photo because I got to wear the hat. But I suppose it is of the moment I thought "stuff it", and decided to just make the blog.

The main thing that has stopped me in the past is the name. I know that the name here is nothing profound and deep. I just wanted something to summarise the blog. Project 365, seemed to generic for what I wanted to do.

Catching up

Nearly on time now. The date that is at the top should hopefully be the date of when the photo is taken. Hopefully.

I live in this house which has a fair bit of security which means I can leave my bedroom window open during the day to let air in. We have window grills.

I didn't take into account the large winds and the fat that my door has a dead lock.

Came home from uni and my door is shut... and it won't open.

Keys - 01/03

Message my flatmate G who tells me that there is a key in the kitchen for my bedroom. There is nearly 30 keys on here. Hey, what am I gonna do anyway? All the stuff I need is in my room.

Could this really be the most exciting thing to kick off Autumn? I guess so.

Doh! Forgot my camera.

Last day of Chinese New Year.

After a bit too much of a sleep, I rushed down to Dragon Boat Races at Darling Harbour. I had a friend racing so I was keen to watch. With all my rushing I forgot my camera. Got a bit anxious without actually. I have always taken my camera with me, just in case somethng happened. Now that I am suppose to be looking for those moments I feel a bit anxious without it.

And there were many at Darling Harbour ; (

My Handbag - 28/02

I have a bad habit of picking up any free booklets or pamphlets or pretty much anything that is free. You can see my purse there on the left to give it a little perspective. I should buy a smaller handbag which would hopefully prevent this from happening in the future.

Mardi Gras

This was my first Mardi Gras.

Got down there at a bit after 8pm, the parade started at about 745 from the start of Oxford St. We were standing around South Dowling and Flinders, not too many people about and a fairly good crowd.

Got there just in time to see parade chief Amanda Lepore come past.

Parade was good, some of the floats were really well done. I think if I were to go again I would try to get to the start of the parade. A few of those in the parade seemed a little tired by the time they got to us, and a few floats and marches whizzed past so we didn't get a great look.

One of the floats - 27/02

Can't remember who did this float, I just thought it was really simply and colourful. Many of my photos turned out really blurry.

Police

When I first say this I thought that they Police were marching as part of the parade. That was until some of the Police turned around and pushed the crowd, that had joined, back. Last years parade ending in a fair bit of violence, so we weren't keen to hang around. I was pretty tired from the night before still, so onward we went to Surry Hills for a drink and an early night.

Napping

First week of uni, done!

Pretty happy and exciting about my subject choices for this year. First week of Uni usually means no tutorials. My 'Intimate Sphere' lecturer wanted us to stay back for tutorials to sort out presentations, which meant I had two hours between. I was heaps tired, so went for a kip in my car.

Interior of the Silver Bullet - 26/02

'Laying' there listening to the radio, I realised how much I really like my car. Don't know about love, that is a little excessive and disturbing. I have had this car for nearly 7 years, I don't look after great and fawn all over it. It gets a yearly clean inside and outside, and service when it's needed. It has moved me 7-8 times since I got it. Been pretty reliable. Think I would be a little sad to see it go now. On the way back home a few weeks ago the cassette player broke, the AC needs to be re-gassed and I think I have ducks living in my pedals.

Kings Cross Coca-Cola sign

Dinner at The Australian in The Rocks followed by a few other pubs with a finish in the Cross at 430 in the morning, so technically this photo is from the 27nd not the 26th, but meh.

Chinatown

Last few days of the Chinese New Year Celebrations. Went for a walk around Chinatown and Paddy's Markets. Didn't really find anything that I was super keen to buy.

Squealing Sexy Lady - 25/02

These were.... er.... interesting. Never knew what to do with a rubber chicken, and am equally confused as to what I would do with a squealing sexy lady.

Finally, I get to see it.

'Paranormal Activity' at Moonlight Cinema.

Watching Trailers - 24/02

Alot of people go to Moonlight Cinema. I had only previously been to the North Sydney Starlight Cinema. Moonlight was good because there were no lights, whereas at Starlight the large buildings and their signs can be a little distracting. But, at Moonlight we were giving chairs made out of cardboard that were not exactly comfortable but meant I didn't have to sit/lay on the dirt.

Squeeee! It's about to start

I had wanted to see this film since last years Sydney Film Festival. Nobody I knew wanted to go, so I missed out. Session for Moonlight came out and I thought it would be better to see it there in the dark, outside, with bats.

Was alot better. Bats really made the film better. They were low-flying and fighting and knocking the crap out of the tree I had to sit under.

I never thought that this film would be a cinematic masterpiece, it was just one that I thought would be better to see at an outdoor cinema.
