Funemployment!

In the past I may have been known to change the Disney "pirate's life for me" lyrics into "the Idlers life for me", for the few days of the week I wish to not be a pirate.



The Idler's life for me is a brilliant mixture of pursuing all the things I like to do in my spare time

Rhythmic Sun's soundcloud is a favourite destination:


link here the Dragon Dreaming set is my favourite, great time last year!


And if you were lucky enough to grow up in the nineties, chances are you came across Myst at some point, even if you weren't a gamer, it was a real hook for all people as the mystery of getting off the island was a brilliantly simple concept, yet so much work went into it!
Rumours of a Myst inspired tv series! Just what I need, more procrastination materials!

Hitting the job search hard:




Even those gods of music The Specials sing about unemployment in Ghost Town, much worth the listen if you don't know their stuff

Lots of time spent perusing National Geographic, online and off, a favourite destination to lose oneself in


Then there is the downside to Funemployment, such as being really cost restricted, which all students can relate to. I also like to get away from this modern world we have constructed for ourselves, and for these reasons, camping every few months is an absolute must, it helps me unravel and shake off the ideas of 'needs' vs 'wants' and gets you back in touch with abilities you don't necessarily use everyday, but which are really the most useful ones to have, such as finding clean water, first aid and campfire cooking, lighting the fire from scratch. The bare necessities

Woodford Folk Festival


UPDATE! FOUND the amazingly talented illustrator behind the Woodford art, his name is Gavin Ryan, more here



Hoping to make it to Woodford this year!

Site here for more info/ tickets



The National folky down in Canberra is always good fun, just a wonderful atmosphere filled with a great mix of people

Woodford program and online art always makes me happy, computer so filled with it all

No amount of words or pictures can convey how warm and responsive people are. The local share economies that pop up when you've forgotten sunscreen or even shoes, your camping neighbours are always more than happy to oblige, always a great bunch of people


And look, they have Paper Lanterns! ^_^ (get it? haha, my 17 year old self came up with this blog title!)


So beautiful
