studio arts assessment

phew. this was a full on day. we had our studio arts 2 mid-semester assessments and i have to admit that some of the people had done excellent work. naturally some of it was just bs, but not as much as previously. i was positively suprised.

i presented my tap book covers and the "lil golden book of research" and i think it went pretty alright.

hunger3000 (from starving art students) had done a miniature dining room and then filmed three lil mice going apeshit in it and ripping everything to pieces. i really liked the way he was presenting his work so far and i can't wait to see the whole installation he was planning to do for the final assessment.

ivar (also from starving art students) was showing his video piece with the colours and i am eager to see how he puts it up as an installation. i'm really interested in seeing (well, hearing actually) how he gets the sound aspect of the work done. i think the sound could really lift the work to a whole new level.

paul (the same guy i'm collaborating with in printmaking) is working on this really interesting installation piece, tho he was pretty pissed off today with some technical difficulties. i can't wait to see how his final intallation works out. i really like his idea.

jonathan did his third balance performance and i thought it was impressive and full on (as his work always is). i didn't think that the audience was worth it tho. everyone just fucked off after couple of mins and he was performing for the documenting video cameras after that.

and i'm not even going to try to explain what mark is doing with his pineapples and footy... that guy is just seriously fucked up! (in a positive arty sorta way ...i think.)

today was a good day.

monday's quote

"i'm not sayin' he was right, but you're sayin' a foot massage don't mean nothin', and i'm sayin' it does. i've given a million ladies a million foot massages and they all meant somethin'. now, we act like they don't, but they do. that's what's so fuckin' cool about 'em. there's a sensual thing goin' on that nobody's talkin' about, but you know it and she knows it, fuckin marsellus knew it, and antwan shouda known fuckin' better. that's his fuckin' wife, man. he ain't gonna have a sense of humour about that shit. you know what i'm saying?"

sunshine is where it's at

sometimes life is just so good. i think this is one of those days. nothing beats a glass of white wine sitting outside in the sunshine enjoying a lazy day in quality company. (okok, i know i couldn't really afford a lazy day at this time of the semester but to hell with it, i NEEDED this one!) oh and as the icing on the cake i ended up having yet another deep-and-meaninful-conversation that was very entertaining and even borderline intelligent. yay for me.

--

it's always funny to find old friends and/or colleagues from the net. i just found a few familiar faces when i was going through the finnish blogosphere and ended up assimilated to the ever growing borg-like gmail-community. (thanks to the notorious k.haakana) i know i should be more paranoid abt this shit since tinstaafl(*), but hell, we're talking abt a whole gig of storage space here! i'm just a weak materialistic slut and my principles fly out the window as soon as the prize is good enough.

oh frown all you like, but i'm still the one with the one gig storage space *cocks a snoot* (and if you have a gig too, you're just as cheap! *grins*)

(*tinstaafl = there is no such thing as a free lunch)

crap

don't you just hate the shit that's not standardised? there are certain things in life that just should always be the same. *full stop*

one of these lil things that honestly just fucken should be a universal fact is a 5 minute snooze! but no, my new sony ericsson thingie just provided me with a lil unwanted suprise by having a 10(!) min snooze and fucked up my laid back morning.

coffee. i need it.

[insert brains here]

flatline. brainwave that is.

all work and no fun make tp a homicidal boring lil girly. i have not left the house this weekend apart from sat morning's grocery shopping trip and it was not at all that enjoyable. but that's a whole other story that i'd rather not tell. it's bad enough that i had to live through it.

i need good times. like, i'm talking abt Good Times[tm] here. sunshine, hotties, cheap white wine, hotties, parties, more hotties... you know, the entertaining nice shit that makes you smile.

heh. that reminds me. i ended up having a fucked up convo today with a good friend of mine. apparently this whole spring time with no rootage is getting to her too. we were both supposed to be typing fucken long boring essays for next week's assessments and the last thing we needed on our mind was men and sex. needless to say that's what we ended up having a full on convo on: what kind of quality action would we prefer atm. this is what i came up with:

• a sushi picnic lunch in the city with a gorgeous young lil flirty thingie (preferably with nice muscles, brains and fucked up sense of humour but at this state i will settle for one of the above) followed by a whole day of activities spiced with a nice accelerating flirt to build up mood for the night. then later a good dinner with heavy flirting followed by a seductive movie (note to self: NOT irreversible!). then a couple of drinks in a nice bar with a quick pre-foreplay session in the dunny between drinks. make out in the cab on the way home. hot and aggressive quickie in the lift/corridor followed by a recovery shower, white wine and a whole night of fun and games in the bedroom (or preferably all around the house).

...and can i get that with home delivery, please?

good morning bunnies

yet another sunday swamped with uni work is abt to begin. *deep sigh*

i'm still pissed off that i had to give the friday's party a miss. i mean, a disco trash party with "i'm only aa but i'm thinking xxx" dresscode at "darling-it-hurtz" has to be fucken fantastic and lead to hell of a hangover. well, maybe i'm not so fussed abt missing the hangover bit, but i sure as hell would have liked to be there for the party. sorry peter, i'll try to be a better girly next time.

but i'll have a big night out in the city this weekend. and that's a fucken promise. yay for spring break!

sAs: tap mania update v2.0

continued working on my studio arts project and posted new pics to starvingARTstudents

healthy, healthy hollywood

ok, this is the freakiest shit i have seen for a while: here is a photo of the presley women (i think it's a photo by annie leibowitz).

...three generations of presley women to be exact. now look at the pic again knowing that you are looking at a teenage girl, her mum and her grandma. yet they all fucken look the same age!

sorry bunnies, that bloody das paste took it all out of me and i don't think i have enough left in me to come up with a worth while blog entry before i go to bed. enjoy the stoopid tap, i'll enjoy my well deserved rest.

farken hell. i just noticed that even tho i washed my hands three times already, i'm still all covered in this stoopid paste. to hell with it, it can't kill me... right?

asian cinema: east palace west palace

as far as i know, this is the first gay movie to come out of mainland china and it has never been screened there.

this movie captivated me from the first few minutes and kept me in it's tight grip to the very last image. stunningly intensive movie. truly amazing power play between the two main characters. and SO erotic. i was fully captivated and seduced by the main characters stories and voice and i can't remember that happening for quite a while. i can only imagine how much stronger the effect would have been if i would have been able to listen and understand his words instead of having to read the subtitles.

a stunning movie. i recommend to any (not too homophobic) viewer with a soft spot for bdsm power plays. only down side is that it might be really difficult to get your hands on a copy...

more excellent björk lyrics

this song actually cracked me up today.

i have heard this song at least a dozen times during the past few days, but for some reason i have never really listened to the lyrics. i just kinda liked the way it sounded. but i think that happens quite often with her music.

today her aggression in the "i'm so bored with cowards, who say they want, then they can't handle" bit made me curious enough to look up the lyrics and it was worth the trouble. cracked me up and made relating to her words just a bit too easy... heh.

björk - 5 years
you think you're denying me of something
well i've got plenty
you're the one who's missing out
but you won't notice
'til after five years
if you'll live that long
you'll wake up
all loveless

i dare you
to take me on
i dare you
to show me your palms

i'm so bored with cowards
that say they want
then they can't handle

you can't handle love
you can't handle love
you just can't handle

i dare you
to take me on
i dare you
to show me your palms

what's so scary?
not a threat in sight
you just can't handle
you can't handle love

a good morning

this is weird. truly weird. i had a few drinkies last night but ended up being a good girl and going to bed early. (which was very, very good of me.) but then i got woken up at one something and ended up talking on the phone for an hour. (which was actually very, very nice.) it just woke me up so efficiently that i couldn't get back to sleep before 5am. i ended up working on my studio art consept instead of sleeping.

i had to wake up at 7am which means 2 hrs of sleep. in other words i should be pretty fucken cranky and pissy and hungover and dead... but i am not. instead, i receive this great email from my collaboration partner that just made me feel really good and cheered up the morning totally. and i'm not even tired! i'm just eager to go and see today's movie and continue my work.

very, VERY confusing.

finland (and sweden) rok

helsingin sanomat - international edition - business & finance: "ilo report: sweden and finland best countries for wage earners

according to a report by the international labour organisation (ilo), sweden is the world's best country for wage-earners, with finland a close second. the report, economic security for a better world, covers 90 countries and 86% of the world's population. "

drinky-drinkies time!

yay! on my way to chris' for pre-drinkies. always best part of the uni bar night if you ask me. come on hunnies, enjoy a glass of cheap white wine with me, will ya?

phew

now that was a rough day. did hell of a lot of work tho ended up with no visible results. sucks.

all my plates are ready for the acid now. which is excellent. i'll go and work on them some more tomorrow after the asian cinema tute. i should be able to make at least a tiny dent in to the pile of work i need to get done before next thursday. why do i have to be so masochistic when it comes to my work?

were getting really good feedback from everyone tho. and the teacher is really excited about seeing the result so that is v. good. looks like its going to be worth the trouble. yay.

for once i've fone my asian cinema reader yesterday, so it won't be intruding on my drinky-drinkies tonight. i'm hoping were doing the pre drinkies at chris' today, but let's see what the others have in mind.

thursday morning

graah. shit loads of printmaking to do today. SHIT LOADS i tell you. better get started, but here's a tune for today:

björk - bachelorette
i'm a fountain of blood
in the shape of a girl
you're the bird on the brim
hypnotised by the whirl

drink me, make me feel real
wet your beak in the stream
game we're playing is life
love is a two way dream

leave me now, return tonight
the tide will show you the way
if you forget my name
you will go astray
like a killer whale
trapped in a bay

i'm a path of cinders
burning under your feet
you're the one who walks me
i'm your one way street

i'm a whisper in water
secret for you to hear
you are the one who grows distant
when I beckon you near

leave me now, return tonight
the tide will show you the way
if you forget my name
you will go astray
like a killer whale
trapped in a bay

i'm a tree that grows hearts
one for each that you take
you're the intruder's hand
i'm the branch that you break

and sheeee's back

trips to the city are always as enjoyable. well, sometimes even more so, but that's a whole other story. heh.

i left to the city after classes yesterday and went straight to stine's place. and yes, i will DEFINITELY move into her room when she moves out. i love the location, i love the apartment, i love the flatmate and i love the room. 'smine!

--

ooh! she cooked pizza that i could eat! fucken divine i tell you. if i ever find a guy who can do that shit, i'll ask him to marry me. if not, i'll just have to propose to stine.

we also experimented on doing salmiakki vodka ouselves and it turned out perfect! mmmmm... i love that shit. but the best part was that i found out that i can get näkkileipää (very dry crispy finnish rye bread), mätitahnaa (caviar paste) and turkinpippureita (turkish pepper = a very strong salty liquorice candy) from ikea in here. fucken fantastic!

--

i made one more decision: i am DEFINITELY changing uni next year. i visited cofa campus and fell in love with it straight away. the location is perfect! i will SO be there next year :D
