I've just ordered a beautiful deck of Tarot cards and a book on how to read.
I had a very interesting first experience with Tarot reading earlier this year and so far every last thing the reader predicted for me has blossomed into a reality.
The future is and should be the wild unknown, but it can't harm to pull out the map and compass and try and explore it a little can it?
Even if I the cards don't show me anything or the right side of my brain ends up rejecting the concept of readings I'll be happy just to own these cards for the sake of their beauty and mystique.

To catch up with an old beardy-weirdy friend and ex-cohort and a beautiful gal I've only know through the internet but have managed to magically bond with somehow online.

I can't wait to see them and introduce them to new stomping grounds and make a weekend-load's worth of memories.

My current tv candy is the exceptional HBO series 'Girls'.

I'm in love with Lena Dunham and how she sticks her two middle fingers up at the stereotypical female body type.

I listened to Robyn's 'Dancing On My Own' on repeat for about a week after watching the episode where Hannah starts jamming out to it while tweeting.

Jessa is one of the most amazing tv characters written. To quote: 

""I'm going to look 50 when I'm 30, I'm going to be so fucking fat like Nico, you know why? Because I'm going to be full of experiences."

A to the men.

Big ol' mugs of hot British tea and toast dripping with butter and marmalade.

Tastes like home sweet home.

Lately I've been trying to spend less time typing and more time putting ink to paper.

My first love has always been writing stories and I've been scratching out a few picture and idea mood boards in my notebook for a short story idea I've had.

{{Stevie Nicks and Christine McVie}}

I've been going rock-steady this past month or so. 

Blasting out eclectic sessions that leave drum-beats on my soul...

Jimmi, The Stones, Janis and Stevie Nicks have all been hollering from my speakers and shaking up this gal to her core.

fortunes be told

I stepped out last night with my beautiful Korean co-workers for a night of delicious gogi followed by a ten dollar Fortune Telling.

This was my first reading and like many firsts I was quite nervous and it hurt just a little.

There was this moment after she made me split the pack three times and select seven cards...

I'm not familiar with all of the cards meanings but when you see two devils staring up at you you just know it aint good! 

I was more than a little spooked by how accurately she described a certain situation in my life without asking me a thing except my age~ she just looked at the cards and talked a whole lot of sense.

I wouldn't say I'm now an affirmed believer but it kind of fascinated and bewitched me, the whole ritual of it. And the cards are beautiful.

 My reading wasn't all doom and gloom and I actually found the whole experience very reassuring, it forced me to acknowledge a few dancing pink elephants that I've been ignoring for too long.

Do you believe in Tarot or think it's all a bunch of hocus pocus? 

I'd love to hear your opinions!
