Eins Zwei Drei Vier...

Again, where the bloody hell did the last week disappear to...
Perhaps to the devotion of finishing work for assesment and also drooling over Richard Armitage.

Assesment went well enough, no 1sts and only a 3rd in visual studies (would have been a 2:1 if I had actually done more work for it and also tied it together with the rest of my work more) and also a referral in life drawing (due to lack of attendence for a couple of months, as in those 2 months I was going mad making my Illustrated book). But hey, referral work is in and I'm freeeeeee! Wheee. Year 2 starts on October 5th, so I have until then to finish my summer project. Yum yum.
Last night I was posing for Vera's life drawing referral. Ohhhh yeah. Not naked, may I add, or else Vrarrr would currently be having the bandages on her eyes re-newed.

Cleared desk yesturday... it turned from something like this:to this:OH GOLLY GOSH GONZALEZ. And in September another 80 or so Illustration students will be flooding into that room and farting on those chairs... (which I remembered to remove my warm cozy carpet sample off of, that can be gaffa taped onto my next year chair). Year 1 has zoomed past at the speed of light. Alan Male (Proffesor or Sir? I cannae remember. Whoops) showed us round the 3rd year exhibition yesturday. It's all a bit worrying, but I nabbed some inspiration and now am tingling to make and stuff. But first, room tidying. And staring at more inspiration... this week I found this chap called Tobias Lund. This is probably my favouritiest piece by him, and one of his older pieces I think, and some of the rest of his stuff just looks a bit scruffy... but I like the colours & whatnot. And what are the things being used as the trees foliage?! Looks like slices of dried mushroom....? Who knows. Mystery.
But yes... on the brief mention above of Richard Armitage.... RICHARD ARMITAGE NEEDS A BIGGER MENTION.
Didn't have the foggiest as to who he was before I started watching Robin Hood series 3, where the chap starts off a bit greasy looking but is actually pure godliness in a man form in tight black leather. Corrr blimey.
Let this clip from series 2 make you drool...

Apparently I had seen him before, as he acted as "Harry" in Vicar of Dibley, Harry is the lovely chap who the Vicar marries (in her PJ's). He seems to be the perfect lovely husband, not that I get the whole marriage thing... but he does give a certain weak at the knees thing.
So Silje and I were drooling at the man the other day which led to Silje ordering 2 DVD's with him acting in 'em off of Amazon (North and South - thats from a TV series, and also something else which I can't remember but I'm sure he was gorgey gorgey gorgeous). I can't wait until those DVD's come through.
Vera now says that he DOESN'T look like her dad, which is good.

On another droolworthy note, I want Sims 3. Miss Zoe (used to be in my class at Falmouth, but transferred into Brighton. http://zoeaustin.blogspot.com/ <-full of cakes and cuteness), but yes I got distracted MISS ZOE HAS SIMS 3... *jealousy condensed*. I want. A lot. I mean, I have Sims1 & 2 on my old laptop (which overheats pretty much if I even so much as hovver my mouse over the programme) but the graphics in Sims3 are sooo much better! For a start the fire looks vaguely like fire. Mmmm. Wanty want want. But I think I need to get me an external hard drive first. And feel a little richer.

For the past few days I've been jamming my brain full of Electric Light Orchestra. Now I'm starting to get a bit sick of it... but there aren't half a good bunch of tunes. Though time to find something new...
(But here is ear jammage: http://open.spotify.com/album/6rHPsoKbb2DSpYX3VViHPw ).

I seem to remember stealing that CD from my dads collection back home. Ahhhh parents taste in music. S'all good. People wonder why I have a rather filthy mind... blame the upbringing on a diet partially made of Ian Dury & the Blockheads.
Looked through old photos the other day... some amusing ones of when I was young. How about this one (which is sideways, not sure why but blogger decided it should be that way round?).
I'm the one on the far left / the one floating at the top in the yellow and black jesters hat. Still got that. We (myself, my old best friend Becca, another old good friend Rose, and a super old friend Lucy) were on a walk with my parents walking & YHAing group. Wearing silly hats & attaching ourselves together with ropes was a great past time. And I seemed to like tying old dry grass to my bag. Good stuff. Pretty as a picture.

More recently I have been spending time on Gyll beach at night, when I can be arsed to get bus there and taxi back from Tremough. Little bonfires and such, roll on this Saturday.Doodlage for location drawing. Nigel liked this one quite a lot. Just pro-markers and white acrylic. Mmmm.

Extra mmmmm, as tonight Loz is cooking me, Vrarr, and Silje super cheesy (Leerdammer) macaroni cheese! Om nom nom. I look forwards to it.
Meanwhile, some terrible advertising. Anyone who likes Robert Smith / The Cure and who feels like talking to people who are (rather obsessed) with the same thing and whatnot?

I'm moderator there, and have been for some years now... back in 2005/2006 it was buzzing and very much alive. Now theres less than 30 active members. Sad times :(
Perhaps forums like that are just going out... I admit that it's not the most up to date etc place, but still! We're all lovely!
/end of spammage.
I smell bacon. Again. I blame my kitchen. I shall go investigate.
Perhaps I shall add more to this post later on today... after all, it is only 1:30pm. Something AMAZING could happen.
Oh, Imy sent a very excited text yesturday - she was on a trip to London and was in Boots on Oxford Street buying a meal deal. AND NOEL FIELDING WAS IN THERE TOO! 2 PEOPLE AHEAD OF HER IN THE QUEUE! I still go one higher as I've touched his posterior (crowd surfing) but still. Wow! Meal deals.

OH! Must remember to watch that DVD we're borrowing from Kathleen (Don't be afraid of the dark) and also my still unwatched 70's porn, Caligula. Hmmm.
Endy end end.
