Handful of things

      With a handful to do today, I'm slowly getting through my weekend 'to do' list. It has many small things like unblocking my phone (so I can finally ring my mum when I want to) and paying rent, to seeing an exhibition and taking out my essential reading books. Today I went to vintage £1 shopping thing, and it is absolutely great! Except the awful odours of aged clothes, occasional fish scent and the amount of people there with many clothes lying about on the floor you can buy some cool things. They have some mad old fashioned dresses! I came home with a remotely large bag, all for only £9... I was going to visit Nunnery Gallery afterwards, as they are exhibiting amazing Claude Cahun's work there, but the didn't go because of all the shopping I had to carry. Anyway, it's something to do for tomorrow! 

       This week has been really great, I have done loads of things, but still feel as if I could do even more. I have met up with the group I'm collaborating with this term. The idea that we had come up was good but quite stereotypical, so to my fortunate surprise, on a hungover Thursday afternoon on the bus, I started coming up with lots of ideas. Very excited!!! I have told the group and everyone likes it :)))It's quite complex and could be complicated but it's dooooable and there is six of us so hopefully we can manage and create great art. It's a site installation, with sound, then turned into a short film. It will be made in a forest, and we are all meeting up on Monday to go look for a suitable location which means a great walk though a forest! Ewan has already made a song for it, it's beautiful but a bit too sad and almost funeral-like. 

      This weekend is a quiet one for me, having basically had my weekend fun mid week! Went out with my house mates on Wednesday, and on Thursday evening went to VOY art collective exhibition ( three girls from our group had work there ). I had such a nice time! We all got drunk at the opening, then had an unofficial after-party in hackney to which everyone went to. We were about thirty art students on the bus, and one of the boys (forgot the nameee) from the collective gave lots of heart warming speeches on the bus. Do watch the video, and if you think he is on ecstasy, you are wrong because he is like this all the time. 

     My friend Tori dyed my hair on Wednesday! It's nice and violet on the top and pastel blue at the bottom! She made us Norwegian Waffles, we had some ciders and I went home. It was really nice but I bloody hate student halls, a house is so much nicer to live in, so I am glad they rejected me!

I have tons of Olympus Trip 35 expired film photos from spring holidays at home, which I will gradually show you, but I am not that happy with the camera as the pictures are not that good quality.

      All the pictures are from my digital camera, which I'm happy to be using more to document events, people and other little things. 

      OMG! Last night as I was sat in my bed, quite high, watching some crap on my computer, a very  loud crash happened just outside our house! A stolen car crashed into a car parked just underneath my window. God so much crime here, about 6 months ago someone got shot outside our house! F.U.C.K haha, I am waiting for a house robbery....

This is ma room :)

This is my new table... Quite, miniature.

And I'm thinking what has happened to me. I love pink?! 

Wednesday night after the pub in Esmee's room... Got oh so drunkkkk

This is Fernanda Liberti's work, I looooove it!!! She is one of the girls in our group.

Speech time.

Our crowd waiting for a bus.

More speech time. It was so very very sweet.

At Troy's reggae night.

Went back home with Davide and his flatmate, as had no clue how to get home... 

At Davide's flat.

   

The car crash! I took crap photos of it sorry, but it's proper smashed at the front. Saw it being lifted away this morning also theheee

Have a lovely day,

A gray Sunday

Before I left London on the 27th of March, the local homeless man was sat outside New Cross Gate station begging. Last night upon my return back home, he was sat there all the same. It seemed as if nothing was changed, but then again, I got home feeling incredibly melancholy, in hopes that everyone is in (mind it's Saturday night) and having a laugh over a glass of wine. No, only Harriet was home, the other girls were out. I couldn't connect (and still cant) connect my laptop to the internet, and so I tidied my room, with my shoes and coat still on, showered, found a month old half smoked biffter, and borrowed Napoleon Dynamite from Harriet and fell asleep with my candles and lights still on.

I thought I would be sad today, or something, but no. I just returned from my mini food shop (I need enough money for a train ticket but student money hasn't come in yet), packed  a little lunch, threw out everything mine and old from my cupboard and the fridge and did my washing. I've borrowed Esmees mac, put on some jazzy tunes and going to get ready in a minute to go to Photographers Gallery to see a free film screening 'Melancholia' because I have nothing better to do on this gray Sunday day. 

I have shot 8 rolls of film during these holidays, so will have some pictures to post tomorrow!

Sorry no pictures, I am on Esmee's macbook!

Adios

Lots of Photographs and then some Paragraphs

I have so many photos and things to show and talk about but I never have time to come on here and do a blog post. Right now probably isn't the right time either since I have an essay due in on Monday. But I've written half of it. Last night and this morning. This morning I woke up at 8am, it was raining outside and my bed is right next to the window. I spent about half an hour listening to the rain and looking out onto the gray windy day. I absolutely love this time of the year. It's getting cold too. I pulled myself out of the bed, had a long hot shower and made myself pancakes for breakfast because on Friday's I like to treat myself. And then got started on the essay. Around the afternoon I left the house to go to Camberwell College of Arts, where I've never been (but it's actually closer to my house) to get myself some Feminist books for the rest of the essay. It's been a beautiful day, the sky set with great organgy-red glow.  I made myself lunch (tuna salad, I've been being healthy recently) and now after I finish this post I can crack on my essay.

Tomorrow I have a long day at work. Don't know if I've mentioned it but I work in this little American diner place in Soho, Saturdays are always my working days. I'm in work 10am-12am which inst too bad because I have two hours break in between.

Talking about last weekend when Ewan came down, we managed to check in to the hotel. We had a really good time, even though didn't even manage to go for a drink anywhere because the whole area was shut by 12am. But so I made him dress up as a girl and took photos of him. They're really not that good but I'll post them on here. They make even me feel a bit odd. Anyway. On Monday morning we woke up quite late which made me miss uni, but we had a trip down to the British Museum which was really interesting, we just didn't have that much time (It's really really huge!)

On Tuesday I learned how to print a contact sheet in the dark room which was really fun, but only black and white, still haven't taught us how to do the colour sadly. But all in all the whole black and white film process is really long, getting the film out, putting it through different chemicals, then drying it, then making contact sheets and printing would all in all probably take me a whole day!

Anyway on Tuesday an awful thing happened. Me, Robyn and Steff all went for a drink and Rob left so because Steff was being lovely that day I stayed with her. Shouldn't have. She turned into a dicked and accused me losing phone and other shit. (she's found it now, it wasn't me). I left her in the pub and went home but first bought cigarettes. I got home and she literally attacked me about all kinds of shit, telling me she's going to punch me and kick me out of our house and that I should thank her for having a place to live in. I told her to try and hit me and to stick it up her little arse. She flipped and threw the washing rail on the floor. I haven't seen her since, she's been hiding form everybody in her room this whole week, because she's probably ashamed. But nevertheless she hasn't even apologized. I feel uncomfortable being in the kitchen in case she comes down. I'd like to move out with Robyn and Sophie but my room looks so nice now and I'll never find anywhere for such good price in London. 

On Wednesday my parents came down to London, we had the loveliest time! My dad helped me paint my walls and fixed my bed. I have a proper bed now woo! And it's so much more comfortable, you dont understand I feel like I'm in heaven when I go to bed!

The photo's I'll upload are from beginning of October when me, a guy from my course Patryk and his boyfriend went to a Fire Spinning event in Waterloo. I didn't spin fire because I didn't know anyone there and was too shy to ask for fire poi.  And also from Halloween in Cardiff :)

These are some of the pictures from my long long Halloween weekend. It all started on Wednesday night when we went to Madame Jojo's to take photos. I was up until 9am with Steff nad Connor.

In Steff's room.

Got a little tattoo done! With a needle and some ink :)

This is now Thursday night. I went to Ewan's biggest gig yet, it was ace!

A good friend of mine, Daniel who's left us to go to Australia for a year!

Ewan's brother Doug who's in the bad as well and his girlfriend.

 I accidentally bumped into Josephine and Rose, and we had a little laugh next door to Fuel, in ze Moon.

Here are photo's that I took last Sunday when Ewan came to visit me.  

And here's my sexy boyfriend. 

Hope you've enjoyed this post. I have yet more photos to post but I didn't want to over load this post with photographs.
Till later,
