Picnics, Shooting, Easter Bunnies

Went to Perth over Easter, this year i was lucky, normally my Birthday is during the week, this year it was on a Saturday AND on the Easter weekend. I never work on my Birthday, it's the rule. And i also decided i'd like to go away for it. So last year we went to Tasmania and this year we went to Perth.

Lots of building going on in Perth, half the city is a construction site, no joke!

We have been wanting to go to Perth for Years. It's ridiculous! We even wanted to move here about 3 years ago, but then we didn't. I'm glad we didn't, i'm not a small town girl, small city.., same thing.

Anyways, i liked Perth, it's nice. It's a picnic city, it has lots of nice gardens and parks and the beaches aren't far and very beautiful. Busy with surfers though, which is ridiculous because the waves are really small and shitty and crash right at the beach, but whatever, they gotta know, pretty pathetic display though.

 That's me playing around with the target

So we went to the local shooting range for a day. We wanted to do that for years too, finally crossed that off our list. We shot 2 different guns, shotgun and a 9mm semi-automatic, it was great fun but i was nearly shitting myself when i heard the guns go off the first couple of times. Fuckin scary!!

Guns are bolted in so you don't fucking shoot your head off by accident

Then we went to Fremantle, it was pretty shit, around the harbour/beach where they have the lookout thing it was quite nice. But all in all pretty fuckin boring! I got a nice ice cream though, Nutella and milk/cherry. So i was somewhat content.

 Nice park at Fremantle/Harbour

Perth has a really nice, really wide river, which is much cleaner then the shitty, dirty Yarra river we got in Melbourne. It looks like a bay, that's how wide it is. Yeah, Perth is a cool chill city to relax and have picnics and even go out at night to some of the bars in the cooler parts of the town.

A disgusting weird thing that looked like it's been around for at least 500 million years that we found near Perth river

On my birthday we had a picnic(what else), a drive through the hip suburbs, a couple of walks and then went to one of my friend's houses, she invited me for dinner. That was really nice and it was great meeting people there, makes it more personal.

 And some pretty crude Easter window decoration

We had a nice Easter, i hope you did too. What you do?

The internet is eating my life!

Saturday i took a whole day off from the internet. It was awesome.
I'm on the internet so much, sometimes i feel like my eyes are going to pop out and afterwards i'm just quite confused and exhausted.

Slightly confused..

Everything is on the internet, my business, my friends, entertainment, education.. Watching movies, i even do that on the computer.

Sometimes i wish life would be more simpler, in every way. But i suppose you have to make it.


This is me after a whole day and night on the internet, i'm just not quite this happy.

When i'm not on the internet and i have a day off, those are the things i like doing,

going for a walk
reading classic, old English novels, i just rediscovered that
going to the library, same, i just rediscovered that too, i always loved libraries
baking, gotta do more of that
cleaning and tidying, yeah, i DON'T really like it, but i like the result
loitering about in the city, going out for breakfast
going for random drives
ah yeah and the beach, the beach is great.

This is me after a whole night on the internet. Check out my EYES!!

We actually went to the beach on Saturday, but it was fuck windy. Which means you are basically getting attacked by a sand storm and if you don't move for like 3 hrs i'm sure you would just disappear.

My eyes, my eyes, my brain is exploding! So many things to focus on!

So those are some of the things i like to do on a lazy internet free weekend. What are yours?

Just a little bit disturbing or is it not?

Got a couple of videos i found on my journey on Youtube last night.

First one is about Swansea Junkies, Swansea as in Wales. I always forget about Wales. Or that it is part of the U.K. I remember Ireland and Scotland of being somewhere around there. And i've even been there, to Cardiff to be exact, i liked it, probably coz i visited some of my friends there. No junkies, just a whole bunch of Queers.



Next one is NOT for the faint hearted! There are some GRAPHIC IMAGES in there, so please if you are sensitive to such matters don't watch the video.
It's about the Body Farm, an anthropological research facility of the University of Tennessee. Basically they got a whole bunch of donated(by the people who died) bodies lying around there under all sorts of different conditions, so they can measure the decay.. well you get the picture..
I found it watching some German videos, but the only English one i could find was quite graphic, i still think it is really interesting.



I love the next trailer, it's from a German movie called "Zeit zu gehen"which means "Time To Go"(there are no words in the trailer). I haven't watched the movie, but it it shot in a hospice, which is basically a place where people go to die.

The film is made by Anita Natmeßnig who is a physiotherapist and coach and her website is quite appropriately titled "Time to live -now".
Which i completely agree with, we definitely should appreciate life more and accept death as a part of it.
I think the trailer is so extraordinarily sweet and touching. I think everyone should have to opportunity to die in peace and with people around who care.



Talking about junkies this one is just plain funny. Love that Little Britain character, not my favourite part of it, but nevertheless funny!



And this one is just a random clip about geeks and it is PRETTY AMAZING!!
Love it when people get really good at (random) shit!



Ok, that's it for today, if you got some crazy shit video leave it in the comments. Hope you enjoyed the post.
