Beautiful Crystabel

"Between computer and internet issues this post is two days late!"

Our beautiful angel is missed and loved every day but on Saturday we took special time out to honour her beautiful memory.

We drove to Maleny and Montville, a drive she would've loved.  Crysta adored long car rides then stretching her legs in new environments.  She was stimulated by the world around her and could spend hours sitting, walking and observing.

We miss you sweet girl.  I've put a mini film of still shots together in her memory.  It can be found here...

Feature song - Mowgli's Road - Marina and the Diamonds

So many great songs being released.  Too many to keep up with.  I have a favourite one day then another comes up the next...

All in all they're all great and suit different moods so by the end of the year I should have posted at least 52 different kinds of songs.  Should be fun to add to the party list.

Black, sleek, small and funky...

Listening to:  Black Crow - Angus & Julia Stone

Thanks to all of you who participated in my poll I posted a few weeks back - it helped me make a decision.  Part of me still would love the Mac but for now I took your advice and stuck with the PC.  A tiny pc the Asus 1008HA netbook (Eee pc).  It's black, sleek, shiny, funky and it fits in my handbag - what's there not to love!

Finally got myself a router and now can operate this little beauty wirelessly around the house or with my new fandangled dongle anywhere in Australia that has internet coverage.  That aside, this little machine is primarily for my writing and write I plan to do...

For the first time in a long time I actually feel I have complete portability.  I used to have a laptop that was never portable as the battery just wouldn't charge so constantly hooked up to the mains and it was bulky and heavy!  Completely useless to me.  This funky little machine is just what I need, it's light weighing less that 1.5kg, it has full size keys unlike some of the Eee pc's, it has an LED back lit screen (very snazzy) and hey I just love it! 

So me and my portable machine is off to the cafe by the beach tomorrow to write...

40 DAY DREAM - Edward Sharpe & The Magnetic Zeros

I'm really digging this band because they speak to me...'Yeah, right what does that mean?' I hear you say.  Well if you know their first release HOME - it talks about what is home to you, what does home mean. It means so many things to so many people and I've been asking myself that alot lately.  Where is home to me?  I'm nomadic by nature so I don't get the concept of settling down and living in one place.  So...does that mean there's something wrong with me - probably, but I don't care.  I think these guyz idea of home makes a lot of sense.  And for now, their take on it pretty much defines HOME to me...

But we're not talking about that song this week, we're talking '40 Day Dream' ' First of all I love to dream and who wouldn't want the best dream of your life to last 40 days and 60 nights?  Too good to be true and one of the magickal mystery kind - hey it's all very psychadelic and I love it...I'm not ashamed to admit it.  I love these dudes, their energy, their depth behind basic lyrics...Have a listen and let me know what you think....Oh and turn it up loud and just dance and have some fun!
