planning to see The Kooks in Sao Paulo on May 19th. Tickets go on sale TOMORROW and i've already booked our accom .. we're staying -HERE- as its only a few doors down from the venue.

now i just need tips on nearby (Vila Olimpia) amazing tattoo artists .. i've been wanting to get a shoulder/quarter sleeve for AGES, but have been too afraid to entrust our nearest (Governador Valadares) tattooist with the job.
I got a Hamsa on my back back in 2006 and its nice, but I just know this fellow is not up to the task of making a pretty pretty permanent etching on my upper arm.



Planning our move back to Melbourne, Australia. we've been in Brazil for 5 years now and its time to move back home (home for me, not my husband - he's Brazilian). Our eldest will start school in less than 2 years and she needs to settle into a new country, new language (although I try to talk to my kids in only english at home), new routines, new friends.

hips and makers

"rocking on the ocean sucking up the sea every bird flies over me .. we have hips and makers we have a good time .. i married a boxer to keep me from fighting i married a brewer to keep me from drinking .. they keep me dancing .. finally its alright"

from the album Hips & Makers by Kristen Hersch
