The Williamsburg end of Belconnen

Proof that there is a little bit of Brooklyn in Belconnnen.

The neighborhood in Williamsburg is a magnet for young people and is an influential hub for indie rock and so-called "hipster" culture.

Hello! Belconnen Mall! If that isn't a great hang out full of indie hipsters - I just don't know what is. I spent a few hours there today with a young indie hipster and it was certainly a hub of culture and all things crazy. I saw a girl walk out of Dan Murphy's with a case of Passionpop. Rock and Roll and a connoisseur of viniculture all in one!

Intellect - Williamsburg is a haven for smart, indie hipsters. Belconnen same same and proof of that was found at Boost juice. I mean, I hadn't thought about the fact that there are different ways to spell Gina. Never, ever occurred to me. But at Boost - they were all over it, analysing the spelling, strategically thinking, being intellectual. And I learned from it. There is Gina, Geena, Jina, Jeena, and probably a dozen more combinations. They also made the observation that even though a name is spelt one way, they will probably mispronounce it the other. The question begs to be asked as to why you need to spell a name correctly if you are just going to yell out over loud dance music and mispronounce it anyway....

Anyway, I digress. Belconnen is more Williamsburg than Williamburg is Belconnen and that's that.

Thip's Thai Belconnen

So today I took my camera to work because I was having lunch with friends and wanted to tell you all about it.

The thing is, I was really really hungry, and the food was outrageously good, and before you know it, my plate was empty. The place I went was Thip's Thai and it reminds me of this place below.

If you love authentic and fresh Thai food, check it out at Level 1 Churches Centre Belconnen. You'll love the noise of the kitchen, the chatter of the owner, the higgledy piggledy tables, and the big queue that goes out the door. You'll love the queue because it goes super quickly.

Yep - I'm surprised too, there are some good things hidden in Belcompton!

Let the outside in

I've enjoyed following this project by Caitlin Parker. You can check it out here - I've given you the link to the very beginning.

Here is what Caitlin Parker says about the project: The house is made from a dollhouse kit that I customised. I wanted it to look like some of the houses in upstate NY around where I live, a sort of ski lodge mountain house type of thing. I planted Native Northeast plants inside and around it that I got at the catskill native nursery. I set up a hunting camera from hunting cam online that takes photographs on a motion sensor. I set it to very sensitive so that it would go off often and I could not only see what wildlife would come and go but also create a time lapse video out of the stills. This project is ongoing…

Berlin

It is a friend of mines birthday today, and I was reminded of a photo I thought she might like of Berlin in snow.

The Faith Series

This was given to me by a friend to help me to 'avoid spending eternity with Beelzebub'. I'll let you know how it goes.
