Strange Behaviour

Watch out for giggling packs of around 11 year old sugarhigh little girls here in the UK. They're up to no good. Just as I was going to enter Tesco one individual from such a pack walked up to me and groped my behind just like that. My reflexes seem to work, because I automatically grabbed her hand, but I was in such a state of shock that I just kept walking and threw the hand away after a moment. The fact that I grabbed the hand in the first place resulted in extremely frantic and nervous giggling from the groper and her pack. I was halfway into the supermarket before I even realized what had happened.

In retrospective, it would have been interesting to see how they would've reacted if I'd revealed that I was a girl (short hair and baggy clothing equals boy, as we all know. Especially everyone in the women's restroom).

In short:

What the fwup?


I also created an animation today. I'll post it on the blog after I've made some final tweaks to it. It's a proper 2D animation on paper. I drew for about two hours and managed to get five seconds of animation together.

Junkshop

At last, some pictures from Margate. I liked Margate, it was a beautiful town with steep streets and a long seaside promenade.

The Turner Contemporary Art Museum can be seen in the distance.


Gentlemanly fishlike lamp post.

Posing raven.

This junk-shop was really interesting. They had everything from
meatgrinders to crutches. Very interesting, and quite inspiring too!

Our guests will leave tomorrow, and then we'll have to get used to dinners without wine. Oh, poor us. For my next project I think I'll be doing one or two 2D animations. Wish me luck with drawing hundreds of pictures. I've drawn comics before, so this is the next step, I guess. The next difficulty level in the game of Art.

Delicious Food. Yum.

We got treated by longhaired roomie's mother, and ate out tonight. I haven't eaten out since I moved away from Finland, and it was Absolutely Delicious. Thank you very much!


Tomorrow: Pics from Margate!

I'm Clean

Today our class went on a trip to Margate, and visited a contemporary art museum. I also visited a handful of galleries, and an interesting junkshop. Right now, however, I'm a bit too tired to upload photos or write anything long and coherent. I am also in need of a shower. In about an hour the longhaired roomies mother and sister come to visit (yay! Adventure!). That's not why I'm going to take a shower, that won't fool them. Also, I'm not writing about me washing myself in order to promote how hygienic I am to the world (note that this probably is the first time I've mentioned I actually wash up every now and then). Speaking of showers, the bathtub is a lovely invention. A week or two ago I took a little to hot bath, and had to cool down afterwards with a pounding head. At least my blood circulation got some exercise then. I really don't know why I'm talking about this. Might as well spill it all out:


I have a dry scalp.
