FUNNY PARTY BANNER

I’m listening to Wolf Alice in my room right now (specifically Silk) and I’m staring at the carefully considered clippings on my wall. I wonder if I’d feel more inspired if I had something to look at properly, you know, like a view of the ocean, but then I reckon I’d get distracted by the waves. Actually, what am I even saying? I have a pretty fantastic vista, the view of my dreams, I just chose to put my desk in the corner because I knew I'd get preoccupied with the goings-on outside. 

ANYWAY. 

At 4pm, every day, without fail, I hit a metaphorical wall. I slump in my chair and usually go and annoy Jules after making a cup of tea. Today I’m Googling ‘funny party banners’ (and listening to Wolf Alice) in my ten minute Pomodoro Method* break because I want to make one for above my bed. Are craft shops open? I think this is going to my weekend project (which is good because I need to get out and buy some ground ginger). What colour paper should I get? What should it say? 

Sweet Dreams? 

Fuck Off? 

Carpe Diem? 

Stormy Weather?

Be Brave? 

Take it Easy? 

Start Over? 

Night Shift? 

Not Today? 

In Your Dreams?

It’s a coin flip between Night Shift and Sweet Dreams. I’m splitting hairs. Should it read Sweet on one row and Dreams underneath, or all be on one line? The level of detail is stressing me but I really want to plan this properly. Should I make a template for the letters? No - I’m just going to go in freehand. What do we think about pale yellow? It could look great. I know my room has subtle hints of pink but it feels a bit done? Like I’ve nailed the soft pink vibe. 

I’m also a little concerned that my room is starting to get overcrowded with the random stuff I’ve collected after living in London for nearly a year, but I think this might be the final addition, then I’ll be good. (Edgy bedroom of an art school graduate who now works in media? Yes, very much so).  

Okay, I'm excited about this DIY project, stay tuned for the outcome. 

In other news we have water coming through our ceiling when it rains really hard and a bucket in the living room to catch the drips. So there's that I guess. 

idk, bye

*Pomodoro Method - this is a working time management thing I’m trying to utilise which breaks down my day. I do 50 minutes followed by a ten minute break, then take an hour for lunch if I can. (I’m not sure if this is right but this is how I’m doing it).
