Highs and Low(e)s.

Highs:

  1. The night of October 24th. Save the date. That is all for now.
  2. The City. I was never into that show when it came around the first time, or the second time, but last night I couldn’t sleep and I watched about 7 episodes, end on end, and as terrible as it sounds, I really, really liked it. And as much as I’d like to hate her, I just can’t help be captivated by Olivia Palermo. OLIVIA PALERMO IS SO CHIC! Don’t get me wrong, she’s a huge bitch that you’d never be able to trust who would throw you under a bus and cut your lunch at any opportunity, but she is SO CHIC.
  3. This. It’s funny because it’s TRUE.
  4. And while I’m at it, this, because it’s also hilarious, well-written and also kind of true.
  5. I tried on some of next season’s Karen Walker collection for literally an hour and twenty minutes on Wednesday, and it was one of the most joyous hour and twenty minutes’ of my life. I put on things I’d never usually wear, I put on together full head to toe Karen Walker outfits, I put on jewellery, sunglasses, belts, shoes, everything. It was so much fun and I wish I could go back there.
  6. I think I have a new accountant! I say new like I had an old one, but in reality I mean I now have an accountant. She doesn’t know what she’s getting into. I’m pretty much going to take this huge drawer full of receipts that I have, and courier the whole thing to her with a note saying ‘Happy sorting! :)’ (The smiley face is there to soften the blow.)
  7. The Help. What a great film.
  8. My K cap went on sale this week and its popularity superseeded my expectations, which is THE BEST.

Low(e)s:

  1. Switched internet providers last week and haven’t had broadband at my house since Thursday night. I don’t know what is wrong with it, but I do know it’s annoying as hell and the lack of connection is hindering my ability to do work in a timely manner and actually achieve things in general, which has sent me on a downwards spiral.
  2. Someone told me that there was a stabbing in Myers Park recently, and a guy lost his eye. And not even for anything, he wasn’t robbed or anything, he was literally walking through the park with his friend and got stabbed in the face. What the sh*t? What? I can’t even comprehend that. Moral of the story? Don’t go anywhere near Myers Park at night. Or Albert Park, or The Domain, or pretty much any park or place with trees.
  3. All I ate on Saturday was dumplings and fries and asian lollies. I fell asleep on the couch at 7:00pm, woke hungry at midnight so I made myself a dinner of fish fingers and mayonnaise. I couldn’t get back to sleep so watched tv until 6:00am where I passed out (on the couch again). I feel like this kind of lifestyle is cancer-inducing.
  4. There’s a fly in my house right now and it keeps buzzing around and it won’t f*ck off.

  • I hate flies.
    I love The City.
    Myers Park freaks me out.

  • Total Juergen Teller vibes from that pic.
    That story about Myers park is horrifying!
    Gah I have walked through Myers park at night so many times (weird considering I don’t even live in Aucks)… One time I wheeled through in a trolley even…
    *googles* apparently another guy got stabbed in the chest. WHAT THE SH*T EXACTLY

  • I know it’s meant to be a bad thing but I love 3) of your low(e)s. I laughed out loud.

    Also, call your new internet provider and they should walk you through the troubleshooting until it’s fixed. If they don’t, they suck.

  • Dear Internet Service Providers: we live in the year 2012.

  • Olivia Palermo is my idol ;)

  • SO many highs this week. Which is rad, because I’ve talked myself into believing that this week is going to be GOO

    Love Olivia. Kinda scared of her for the reasons you mentioned, but I would love to transplant her style onto my body any day.

    CONGRATS CONGRATS CONGRATS on your K cap! That’s hugely exciting :) this is one of my fave Katherineisawesome highs and low(e)s of all. Fo sho!

  • Oct 24th? But it’s a schoooool night. Anyway, tell us, tell us, what’s happening next Wednesday?!!

  • myers park fight was actually started by that person whos going to lose his eye, who the hell walks up to a group of people and starts swearing to them, he sliced him self in the fight!!

  • OK Katherine I have to just to her defence (I am not sure why… I guess to set the record straight) but the bitchy Olivia Palermo was for the show… I am not going to say how I know this as it will make me seem like a wanker but I am sure that you guess… She may in that uber cool IT girl fashion scene, which can make you an easy target, I have never really found this to true.

    TheCelibateGay… defender of the fortunate lol!

    Also, Whitney Ports family owns a hugely successful fashion business so I am pretty sure she had a good idea about how to succeed in her own venture also…
