The Saving Goddesses of K-Pop (This month, anyway.)

Since the mock exams and reports and self assessments as such, I've been on a hiatus in more ways than one. I didn't go to Archery, or knit, or draw, or anything at all. I did turn 18 though, which is something. Wow, guys, I'm an adult now - she says with a serious deadpan…

Newton’s Apple – Album by Nell (Packaging and Lots of Fangirling)

I mentioned that I got a really exciting delivery in the post yesterday. I also took photos right away because I was so excited. It's a physical copy of Nell's album, Newton's Apple! I came across someone on Facebook who was destashing her collection at really good prices. I had my eye on some other…

August 2015 Playlist – The Songs of my Summer

Coincidentally, the releases I have been looking forward to this month are all from different parts of the world (ish). From the US, Melanie Martinez's debut album (everytime she releases ANYTHING you will hear about it from me!) was released on the 14th. 'Cry Baby' is a lovely sickly-sweet (and I mean sick as in creepy, hauntingly and…

Music: Creeping

As much as I love catchy, upbeat mainstream pop, no matter how trashy it may seem (Cough - 'Bitch, I'm Madonna' is my jam right now, and of course trashiness is subjective and this may very well be a work of art in your opinion) my real calling is to anything with a creepy vibe…

Thoughts #7

Did you know Sunday was my 6-month Blogiversary? I did post something else on the day, but it was unrelated and in truth I had totally forgotten about it! On January 12, 2015 I started this blog up just because I felt like it, and I'm proud to say that I've been updating it fairly…

Thoughts of the Week #2

My psychology Unit 1 exam was today. I could barely sleep last night. I felt all hyped up, tense yet jittery, and got the same feeling at the end of the exam. I think it went pretty well even though a few topics I didn't like came up. I'm keeping my fingers crossed for the…

Wait, I need to frame this essay

A small achievement was made this week - I got a high score on a particular section of my Psychology Mock Paper. It was the section that I had revised most on, which is giving me signs of hope - the work I actually do is paying off. It seems like such a small thing…

Music – Tokyo Ghoul & hasuinonasa

I like the name hasuinonasa, it has a delightful little hiss to it. Their videos are posted on their record label's channel on Youtube. Zankyo Records also houses artists such as People In The Box and Cinema Staff. So first, check out 'Seijatachi' (Saints) by People In The Box. This was the ending for the…

Music – They Put The World In Slow Motion

I've just been through a strange phase. For a while, I would pick up my headphones and listen to 2 minutes' worth of music before putting them back down again in favour of something... quieter. (GASP!) Now I am suffering (suffering? This is glorious!) a rebound phase. My music is on, and it's on louder than I…
