Split

Spagat means split.

Borrowing

Currently writing on Roomie's computer, which she was kind enough to lend me. Thank you! :)


I left my own computer in my locker at uni, since we went grocery shopping straight from there, and I knew I would have to carry a heap of soda cans home, since they have a great offer (12 cans for £2 is not too bad at all).


I mean, if you make homemade hamburgers, you've got to have coke with them, right?

Incorrectly Assembled

My new desk did, as I said, arrive yesterday. What still baffles me with IKEA is how they can manage to text me notifications about the delivery, stating that they will call an hour before delivery, but still be incapable of actually calling me on the very same number they've texted to. So I never recieved a call on the delivery day, the truck just appeared, delivered and went. The desk was slightly bigger than I'd expected. That was probably my own mistake. Still, it's better that it's slightly bigger than smaller. It even fits in the room, WOOOP! I'll post pictures of the refurnished room as soon as I've tidied it up, and moved the desk-stuff to the desk and drawers.


Speaking of drawers, as I assembled the drawer unit that came with my desk I learnt how IKEA-drawers work. At least the ones of this particular kind. Turns out the bigger (pretty much broken) drawer that already was in the room when we moved in had been incorrectly assembled, and that's why it didn't work properly. It has, apparently, been assembled by someone who's, let me guess, too manly to read the instructions, and had put some screws in from the wrong side with raw strength, screwing up the poor piece of furniture. Or then someone in the house was a papyovore, and ate the instructions.



Today I drew this beautiful animation from start to finish. I'm evolving, I think. Soon I'm a level 3 animator. Only 34 experience points to go. (Ha, ha, ha)

Don't watch too much television. Although no one knows what kinds of powers Slugman over there possesses yet. Marvel as he leaves a slimy trail! Baffle at his soft skin! Be amazed by his portable TV!


Today we got our heating turned on, WHUPPAHEY! I had already forgotten that it's possible to survive indoors without triple sweaters. The difference between 14 and 20 degrees Celsius is rather significant, I can tell you.

Tomorrow we'll have our first exhibition at our school. Everyone is going to put work to display. I'll show my animations and some plasticine figures there. Maybe I should take pictures of the installation and post them here afterwards? I'll have to sit in our studio guarding my computer, on which I'll display the animations.

This is starting to be a formidable wall of text here, I think. Maybe it will suffice for today?

Of course it will. Don't be silly.

I really love the heating.

Boink

The lurking shadow from yesterday was only a spider. It was showing off on the wall a little while later. It was the same species as the Living Room Horror, an earlier, not too pleasant aquaintance.


Tomorrow I'll write a proper update. I'll give my roomie permission to step on my toes if I don't do that. There's a lot to write about. I did, for example, eventually receive my desk today.

Now, however, it's too late to write. Notting Hill and assembling my desk and drawer ate my evening.

L on Don

My roomie just saw a giant shadow running under our fireplace. We do not know if it was Spiderman or Mickey Mouse. I'm sure she can't wait to find out.

London looks like this:

GRWLOORGH!!

Cabs move in herds.

Bling bling sparklescraper.

in a hidden gallery in East London

The most beautiful sparklescraper of them all!

Is it a bird? Is it a plane? No, it's superm--- no, it really is just a plain.

Halloween: Eye(s) that glow in the dark. For real!

And just for argument's sake, the rest of this post will be written in Webdings.

Which actually was quite a fail on my part, since I thought webdings would be similar to Wingdings. My bad.

Testing

I'm checking if it's possible to view the video I'm trying to upload. It's my beautiful masterpiece of an animation.

Nevermind this post if you can't see the animation. Just enjoy the sketch.

(EDIT: Seems to be working, yay!)

Pizza with sorbet

There are worse things to eat for dinner than homemade pizza. And worse ways to spend a saturday evening than to watch a movie with friends. I found Rango quite amusing.
