Suits All Cases
Fail fail fail I really need to work on being way more consistence. I swear I’m not this unreliable in real life.
I’ve seen recycled suitcases around since a while ago but its reincarnations have really stretched past my imaginations.
An anonymous lady recommends using it as a survival kit.
Boringgg.
Firstly the obvious is to maintain its use as a type of storage unit
Got an upgrade, naise.
Next is storage for your ass, or your pet’s ass(es).
And heaps more you can actually buy here.
How to here.
Storage for another living thing
Music comes into the equation with the suitcase stero
For multiple suitcases,

And for extra protection…
What can you do with an old suitcase?
At St.Kilda’s Festival Sunday yesterday Phuong and I discovered Woz Waste, an amazing off-shoot of a larger organisation specialising in recycled goods. Surprised I’d never heard of them earlier. Check them out here!!
Useful products made of the simplest materials… love it.
I felt like the worst Melbournian learning about the tram-turned-restaurant only yesterday…
One of a Kind
Some of you will be like nerrr I’ve been going on this for yeaarrss. Whatever. For those who are yet to discover this website’s brilliance read on. Etsy is basically an online marketplace supporting creative individuals & craft suppliers and the best part is that you can find pretty much anything minus the ten million listings that are exactly the same and from the same seller and from the same place (Hong Kong) like you find on ebay. It is highly customisable so you can get pretty refined search results but if you’re a nutter like me I find enjoyment in browsing through long long lists. You might even come across things you reckon you could do yourself with crap lying around the house. This is a rat made from an ugly old DaDa jacket (well that would be the case if I had made it) If you’re worried about shipping costs from foreign countries there are tonnes of Aussie sellers with some brilliant ideas. Personal fave, Melbournian & eco-friendly too: http://www.etsy.com/shop/sparrowsalvage And if you’re into the whole online community etsy has a pretty sweet looking one. I’ve seen some members posting polyvore-type pages with collections of lovely items they’ve bought. But the whole member thing isn’t me. Sooo lemme know how it is. 
It’s been a long time coming but I’m finally buckling down and getting this recycle biz going.
I hope this blog can inspire you to see a second life for those things sentenced to the trash can.
Today’s Highlight:
Todd McClellan’s latest work involves using what I hope are abandoned gadgets he’s picked up from op shops and transforming them into works of art.
Instead of going to the horrible place in Toy Story 3 (spoiler alert) where you think the toys are gonna die this old phone has become immortal via my photo album.
Slow Down
We’ve all got to tone down on the hectic lifestyles, sit back and have a good hard look at what we possess. Eventually, hopefully, we will learn to consume less than current day.
Deers are so damn pretty!
Have you noticed? Screw horses and unicorns these babies are absolutely gorgeous and untame.

Who needs Gable, Here’s to Deer!
Promise!
As soon as I get this semester out of the way I’d like to get on my way with an idea I’ve had for ages…
A blog dedicated to recycling efforts… (queue LOLS from those whom I’ve sworn I’m not a greenie to)
I figured recycling is the way of the world. Things come and go… and then find their way back again… and again…
The future is not looking for originality but rather new perspectives of the old.

Best way to rollover into the summer playlist
I have a newfound respect for maintenance men.
So doing me usual business in the toilet entertained by the usual controversial statements, discussions and pleas for help scrawlings on the walls when I noticed the lock on the door had evidently been replaced only recently.
This lead to the thought of the janitor dude who did it, and how he must have a to-do list for the day…
It’d be like a World Of Warcraft quests list… how awesome is that!! Your job is like an adventure…roaming around Melbourne University accomplishing mini tasks and I’m sure every now and then he gets like a superquest worth heaps of gold (paid in glory since they probs get a salary). Then when you level up you get like new weapons to add to your toolkit.
Friggin sick.
Carl from The Breakfast Club, like the Elder Janitor, so wise.
Vernon: Now this is the thought that wakes me up in the middle of the night. When I get older, these kids are gonna take care of me.
Carl: I wouldn’t count on it.
