I've been loving this cover so so much:
p.s. I still owe you loads of Japan photos, which are coming up soon. Hope you're not tired of them yet.

Travel tip: get a flight that lands during sunset, and make sure you get a window seat. Be prepared for a stunning view!! These photos don't really do the sky colours justice. It was so much more vibrant.
The travel bug has bitten! Camera Obscura said it best:
If you've never seen the movie Once
, do yourself a favour and see it. The soundtrack
alone is excellent reason enough.

You have no idea how long I've been wanting to post this song on this date because of that piece of lyrics. Tee hee.. *grins*
It's going to be a hot 32C here in Melbourne, so I'm off for a playdate with a friend and cooling frozen yoghurt. What are you upto this weekend? Have a great one! xo
This week's random thoughts/facts:
♥ Just started listening to Sarah Seltmann's album, Heart that's Pounding, and it's making me happy. For example, see above video.
♥ A lady sitting across me on the tram leaned over to look at my polaroid badge I was wearing (3rd one in this post), and complimented me on it. I thanked her and told her "That made my day!" just before hopping off my stop. Random compliments are awesome.
♥ I had a cupcake for lunch today. Because I can.
♥ I like Pip's list of 'Things I Know'.
♥ People and culture fascinate me to no end.
♥ Worrying is exhausting.
♥ A smile can be extremely contagious.
♥ ... unfortunately, so can a cough.
♥ When you don't know what to think, it's probably best not to.
♥ Never trust Melbourne's weather forecast. The day I decided to detach the hood off my jacket and leave my umbrella at home had to be the day it rained.
♥ "Seriously?? It's like you're Photoshopped!!" is the best line from Crazy Stupid Love (in a scene that also involves a shirtless Ryan Gosling. Yeah.).
♥ Life's too short to not wear your favourite vintage outfit more often.
♥ I read better on the train more than anywhere else.
♥ I've been adding cinnamon to my tea because it's good for you (thanks for the tip Diana).
How has your week been, readers? Share some of your random thoughts with me please.

Also, a splash of some artsy music videos for Tuesday's Tunes. Great music, nonetheless.

Intimate and acoustic performances bring out the sweetest music. Also, Camera Obscura doing an ABBA song? How had I ever missed this coolness?
What music have you been listening to? Recommend something to me!
I've been listening to the music of Charlotte Gainsbourg (who you may have seen in the quirky movie The Science of Sleep
, and the more recent Melancholia) after getting my hands on her CD, IRM
.This song is one of my favourites (warning: it will have you nananana-ing along in no time)
This song and video will put a grin on your face:
The song in that delightful video is Song in My Head
By Emma Wallace, from her album Temptation
(which I honestly love, and this is one of my favourite songs on it!). Emma is not only super talented, she is also one of the sweetest bloggers I know, so I thought it would be fun to feature her with this quick interview so we can all get to know her even better.
2. I adore, collect and voraciously read children's literature.
3. I don't like onions or beans - no matter how beautifully they're prepared. But I like pretty much everything else. Just in case you invite me to dinner...

5. My dream vacation destinations are Reykjavik, Limerick, Ireland, Novia Scotia, Vietnam and Hawaii
