I'd make a terrible house wife

Three-day-old laundry
Damp in the washing machine
Hope it's not mouldy

Vegan food and dirty karaoke

Sarah, Scott and I
Visited Utopia
For meat-free eating

You may notice I've turned off the WV

More darn foreign spam
The word verification
Clearly does not work

Ouchies

F***. "Paper cut" plus
"bicarbonate of soda"
equals "bloody sore."

(By coincidence, I'm baking the same banana loaf as my sis.)

Even though I just ate dinner

I want a cupcake
And I want it now. (A la

Blog Birthday!

A year of haiku.
An opportunity to
give some shit away.

Today is Anzac Day in Australia and New Zealand, arguably the most important day in the Australian calendar.

It is also the one year anniversary of Cerebral Excrement, the blog. To celebrate, I am having a giveaway. I love a giveaway and this one will feature some of the things I love.

I love mail (receiving and sending, especially when the recipient posts my mail on their blog). I love reusable tote bags. I also love Aussie stationery store kikki.K. It therefore makes sense that I love this Love Mail Canvas Tote Bag from kikki.K. $1 from the sale of this bag goes to Climate Positive, which I also love. The bag is really roomy and seems quite durable.

I love magazines. The winner will choose an Australian magazine for me to send them (unless the winner is in Australia, in which case I will substitute this prize with a book, or collection of Perth zines, or a Japanese magazine from my collection, or something like that). Some Aussie magazines that seem popular with bloggers include Frankie (preview here and here), real living (preview here, here, here and here), Inside Out (preview here, here and here - plus comes with a free Rob Ryan tea towel this issue), Donna Hay Magazine (the current issue, the 50th, has the most gorgeous cover) and Cleo (recently revamped and now featuring many blogs, bloggers and DIY ideas - plus comes with a free ampersand tote bag this issue, interview with the Selby and article by the Go Fug Yourself girls).

I love good luck. The winner will receive a lucky pencil, that I used to write (and pass) my recent examination. It is pretty cute, too! I love cute stationery in general. I will include some of that too.

I love brooches and I love shopping locally. I have two brooches from local brands, including  a cute owl brooch. (Pictures will be posted later.)

I like haiku and I will write one for the winner! (Quality optional.)

To enter, just leave a comment below about something you love (that can be sent through the postal system). Get an extra entry if you are a follower of Cerebral Excrement (leave another comment if you are)! I will draw a winner on Sunday the 9th of May (GMT) so enter before then.

I am massively sleep-deprived (spent more than twelve hours today at work with no breaks) so I will probably update this later on with more prizes and pictures.
