That's fine.

..number 1 is a bit odd.

More sore feet.

I know there are no photos up, will be soon.
Have more from today, will possibly enter them into the Jessops competition, fun times (!)

Tuesday 28 July 2009

Jeez.

Why are people who are unable to spell allowed to blog? More to the point, who could stand reading a blog with ridiculous grammar and spelling?
Where "what" = "wat" and "you" = "u" and nothing is capitalised.

Too many people are stupid.

I am going to Ripley's Believe it or not London tomorrow, I hope it is good.

Blue skies are coming..

Lovely. x

I have very mucky feet.

Got home from Ben & Jerry's festival about an hour ago.
Wore flip-flops today, I'd say it was a mistake but it was hot and sunny until about 2 o'clock this afternoon and I left the house at half 10. Made me so cross, I nearly had a little cry on the way back to Clapham Junction.
I've tried washing them but they are still dirty. Ew.

Any time I've tried to do anything fun, it has rained so far and when it's not raining I'm always doing nothing so just end up sitting in the garden being very unexciting.
It best not rain on holiday, that would be rubbish.

Ben & Jerry's was good though, although it was way, way busier than last year, even though it was a bit cold and very wet and last year was the beginning of a heat wave (therefore perfect for a festival with free ice cream). I believe there were too many people with brats there, they should get rid of them.

Had a long DMC with Moon over dinner at my Mums about how shit some of the people we know are and about how even the ones we love are slightly rubbish and lazy. It's infuriating, but one of those things, I just wonder if we'll ever get away from it.

I have two Lovefilms begging to be watched but we've been home too late two nights in a row. Poo. Well, actually, tonight we were home at optimum time but Moon is watching some silly Sean Connery man movie on TV.

Photos from Ben and Jerry's should be up tomorrow as will some examples of my summer RDB.
We saw some badass alpacas today. Animals from Vauxhall Farm have very nice hair.

Oh yeah!

Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland.

In 3D as well, 3D is awesome(!)

HIMYM, season 2 is awesome too(!)

Sunny thunder.

Yuck.

It truly is a miserable day, made all the more frustrating by the fact that there is an occasional burst of really hot sun. URGH, and it was so lovely yesterday.


I have just ordered this:

I'm hoping I can find something to do.. and if I can't, who doesn't want to do [almost] everything.

My research is really kicking off. Although I don't know how to start writing it down yet.

Also, Season 2 of HIMYM arrived on the doorstep today, I am so pleased, I can't wait to watch it, it's so lame that a Region 2 version of Season 3 isn't available yet.. boo!



Oh look, it's magically sunny again..

Thursday 23 July 2009

They say it is going to rain all day tomorrow.

It is quite hot outside, I find this very hard to believe. I also mainly hope it doesn't.



I've written my first review on Lovefilm, I know this isn't a big deal but The Machinist really did annoy me that much. It was so dull. Christian Bale isn't even nice to look at in it.

... that transformation probably is the most interesting part of the film though.

If I didn't have this then I think my Flickr would get more attention but I don't really need Flickr when I have this so it's not so bad really.
I have managed to get my Gran's computer up to a speed where I can use it for this, so that's some kind of improvement, I left my laptop at Moon's anyway.

Moon's mum was talking about buying tickets to Paris for Moon's brother and his girlfriend, it's dumb anyway and no one should really do that. One, Edward's girlfriend is annoying and a whore anyway but mainly two, why is something as extravagant never offered to me? I am a much better addition to their fam and have been around for much longer. It better not happen or I won't talk to either of them again. I'm trying to avoid speaking to the girlfriend anyway. She's a typical overuser of the word "random", if you get what I mean. urgh.


See? No rain clouds.

I wish to be this person. Her work is wicked, she's a friend of Joe's who I met at one of his gigs. She was nice but I ended up finding this somehow way after.
I want my summer project to be along this kind of theme,using both text and images, perhaps with the addition of illustration within the workbook:


July has been such a slow, long month, much more is happening in August.
Jamie T's new EP is out on the 31st.
I have no idea what to do with myself next week. I'm looking forward to Ben & Jerry's this weekend though... :)

Oh yes, for the house, the good tenants got charged £16.20 each for Noorany's damages because he didn't pay the last month's rent. I probably won't see that money again... or the money he owes for the last bills..

Photo-Me!

I have actually gotten round to sending off for my provisional driver's license. Ho ho ho.

61.









Some of this stuff is from a couple of weeks ago.

Guilfest.










Others are here.

Friday 17 July 2009

Bit of a slacker.

I'm pretty damn sick of having no access to a printer or scanner.
I want to put some new work up.
Probably coming on Sunday or Monday.

I'm going to a party tomorrow, which will hopefully be better than the supposed one on Tuesday, just made me feel weirded out and sad. Feels like I'm following a lost cause...

The film I got developed today was pretty poor, I also think I'm going to stick to 6x4 for processed prints from now on, Boots are pretty sloppy with their 5x7 quality. Plus it's unnecessarily more expensive. I would use Jessops, if Dorking had ANYTHING! Overall though what I'd taken anyway wasn't too good. Some was weird, you'll see.

Moon is taking me to London next week, it's also Ben & Jerry's Fest next Sunday. I hope next week will be a lot more interesting than this lonesome week. I just seem to have accumulated a ton of food.. that I will probably end up not eating.

I've baked a tasty cake though, which should be up when I update.
Definitely will feel less lazy when I don't have to talk about doing things anymore.
No one's interested.

Summer project is underway. Started talking about David Blaine, who is an idiot.
Don't know what I'm basing it on yet but won't be able to start the actual work until 07.08.09 anyway, I guess...

Monday 13 July 2009

There will be backlog.

Everything will probably be going up at once on Saturday/Sunday as I'll be able to use my own laptop at Moons, or at least a faster computer..
Don't think that I have too many worthy photographs for here, but ofcourse they'll be up on Facebook for anyone who does want to take a look.

Overall, disregarding the weather and coming home early, Guilfest was pretty good. However, adding the weather into the mix, it was definitely not even close to being as good as the previous two, and I was genuinely relieved to be home, not like other times when I've been glad to not be sleeping in a tent but sad about leaving the festival mentality for another year. Sadly, the sun is what brings that on and apart from a few measly hours on Friday, that was distinctly lacking. Then on Saturday everything was went and cold, which isn't good most of the time, but definitely not when sleeping outdoors.

I'm off to a barbecue tomorrow, should be good but I'm a bit nervous, although hopefully there won't be too many people there that I don't know, which I guess is what I'm most nervous about. I don't have my boyfriend to hide behind if the worst does happen.

I have threeish films to be developed, but I don't want to add even more to the work load. :(

I got give a summer project for uni today via email.
As much as I dislike "Summer Project" in the subject line of an email, I'm actually quite looking forward to doing it, and it will be a good thing to add to here.
The theme is 7th August 2009. Conveniently this is when I'm off to see Walking with Dinosaurs. But I'm not sure what my final outcome will be yet. Still, it will be good to get some focused work done, not just for here but to add to my portfolio. I mean at the moment what I'm doing is how I intend to keep things so it's good to be proactive about it.

And finally, I pose this question, why are some people so unashamed of things? I must say, as much as I don't approve, I do admire her confidence, maybe I'll brave a bikini in France. Well, probably not..

Indispensable.

I am currently hijacking somebody's internet at Moon's house. It's working out quite well for me, I am completely for this kind of thing. It's much easier than trying to guess Moon's unguessable wireless password.
Am currently listening to Barbara Ann by The Beach Boys to psyche myself up for them on Saturday. I'm off to Guilfest tomorrow. Hopefully it will be sunny, I was hopeful until it pissed it down half an hour ago.

I was sick of the sun and now I'm sick of the rain. I don't like to complain about the weather because it's frankly a waste of breathe but this country is quite annoying.
I just hope it's sunny tomorrow.

These are some photos from a disposable camera I used over a year ago that I only got developed at the weekend, and the last few are from my Action Sampler, which I've since learnt NEEDS sunlight otherwise nothing works at all properly, I suppose that is hinted at by the fact it's made almost entirely out of plastic. The ones in the light have still turned out pretty good though.

Photos from Guilfest will be up in the near future I'd imagine.
Recordings from the iTunes Jamie T gig are up on iTunes, and they sound awesome, pity the crowd are sort of fazed out, but then it would never be as good as it actually was anyway I suppose. ♥

The Maccabees for Radio 1 Live Lounge











Polaroid, which was cropped annoyingly by Moon's scanner :(






I'm taking film as well as digital to Guilfest so hopefully I'll have some nice film ones. I'm more into it at the moment, I'm thinking about taking some more black and white ones to develop myself when I get back to uni.

Myspace.

My old blog used to be awesome.
I think I wrote better when I was thinner, people get too defensive about things nowadays anyway.
"People" should remember that just because we're meant to be nearly grown-ups, doesn't mean that we can't complain, bitch or gossip. It really is fundamental that nobody forgets this.

I know that this is meant to more be a creative outlet, but I thought I'd mention that things used be better when I was able to say what I wanted without everyone hating me and turning. I should have made friends with the people I wanted to make friends with at Coombe, and I should have kept Lucy by my side. I feel like a bitch for not making more effort.


I need more creativity, I suppose.
I probably won't blog with work until after Guilfest (next week) as I only have access to the internet via my Gran's computer which is phenomenally slow and I get too impatient with it to ever do anything.

I guess I'm feeling a bit down.
I'm toning up though.

That was so good!

I'm not sure whether I'm in pain because of how much I danced last night or whether there's actually something wrong with me, my back kind of hurts.
It was so unbelievably awesome, I can't wait to see him again, he even dived into the crowd, I don't know whether these photographs illustrate it but it was a pretty long jump and he's a pretty tiny guy, so it was quite a feet.

It was a bit annoying that once again being on the right hand side of the stage meant we got less actual attention from Jamie, but then we probably got a better view and weren't kicked in the face by crowd-surfers.

The only annoying thing was the waiting, we had to wait for an hour outside before they opened the doors of The Roundhouse, then another hour until the doors to the stage opened, and then a further hour for the first band, Slow Club- who sound better live than they do on their Myspace, to come on. If they'd organised that aspect better than it would have been perfect. Oh, maybe if they hadn't taken our water away from us when we got in only for us to have been allowed to buy more water after that, that was pretty lousy.
I haven't danced so crazy in ages, there were loads of girls shouting about how sexy Jamie is, which he just isn't. And a load that had come clearly get a look at him, the girl behind me was standing still holding on for dear life to the bar at the front, she didn't even sing along and kept giving me astonishingly dirty looks, what a whore.
EEEEEE! It was so so so awesome! What a great way to kick-off summer.
