Food





Melbourne is full of the most amazing food. There is even some Mexican. Not much, but some. I try to stay as close to my house as possible when I venture out. And with good reason--smith street is glorious with little cafes and bakeries.

My friend took me to this place last week and I got a potato hash which has potato, spinach and a poached egg with anchovy mayo on the side. But, when I went I saw ricotta cheese hotcakes, which were a favorite of mine at North Star in Columbus I decided I must go back. So, Mary and I went for brunch today. Covered in syrup, mascarpone and caramelized pears, it was amazing.

Ages

Sorry it's been so long since I have updated this. In truth, there is very little to tell you, though. I have been working, 3 days a week :) And I have been hanging out with my friends a lot. Eating delicious food and drinking a lot of hot chocolate. I played some board games last Saturday, which was amazing. And I have been going on runs down to the river and back about three times a week. It's about a 3 mile round, I run under this bridge...


In other news, I have been attempting some writing. I put together a zine, which is just a self published magazine, and it's at a little shop here called Sticky. And I am trying to write a show that I want to put on somewhere. I have even been meeting with some other writers who I really admire and they have been looking over it. Which is exciting. So, hopefully there will be some more news on that soon.

Here Momma, There Darlin'....Everywhere HAIR


Is this not the most adorable hair salon you have ever seen? I picked it because it looked like the place in Grease that the girl worked at. And because it was right across from my house. And because it was $25.
