Good grace will live in me.

Semester one of 2010 has all but drawn to an end (exams never seem to pose a stressful threat at this stage) and I am now scratching my head at the thought of no more sleep ins, attempts at study and relatively relaxed, coffee-filled days on campus looking at boys and talking shit with friends. until at least August. Instead, my life will revolve around an endless amount of customers demanding their lattes asap, with a double shot please, on skinny milk if you've got it! while chasing and saving dollars to fund the next chapter of my life.

What will make that effort worth it are the endless mazes of streets, alleys, cafes, shops and more that await me in Buenos Aires. To get me excited for my travels, and to feed my love for street art, I've been checking out a bunch of blogs and websites - I started with this site, del artista Julian Pablo Manzelli.

I stumbled across more fun things - this is funny - 10 tattoo cliches to avoid, which I found at a time when my long-standing 'I'll-never-get-a-tattoo' attitude changed of its own accord, as I came across ideas I would indeed have inked on me fo life.

How to catch a bus in Buenos Aires - matador universe is my new favourite place to hang out online and dished out this gem, which will surely come in handy for me.
From the matadorverse, I have come across yes, there is such thing as a stupid question whose author is fabulous - a woman living in Buenos Aires with a biting sense of humour, basically doing something I may aspire to!


  

The first image is an example of vomito attack's street art, in Buenos Aires. The second image is by German based art-duo, Herakut, whose style is blowing my mind (thanks to Lucy, who showed me their stuff while we were sharing art last night. Social media is great for more than 'h hru, gt, hbu?', who'da thunk it?)

Excited by the prospect of having time on my hands to enjoy more of the world that exists away and out of text books before getting out into the big bad world, the rest of my life is starting now!
