I am painting self portraits because I want to preserve this time of my life, when I am free to make art as I please, to look how I want, record who I am right here and now. They are precious and I want them to last so I can look back but also so that other people can too.
These plates have all been bought from charity shops so I am giving them a second chance to mean something, to be useful...

In the complete collection of all Sherlock Holmes stories Watson writes “I ejaculated” 15 times.
This is in the place of ‘exclaimed’ but still, it’s clear why it is a sturdy ship.

I’m listening to a radio station via iTunes called Beethoven Radio.
Apart from a voice saying “Beethoven Radio” between pieces it is PURE piano.
It is dissertation writing/editing bliss.
I have 14 days to edit the bit I’ve done and make it more forthright and opinionated (no more suggests and perhaps’ - my inner GB is crying at my blatant and obvious signposting)...
There was this article in last week's EW that this...
needlessly-defiant:
She was talking about how she was upset that her daughter really likes Zooey Deschanel because Zooey’s a bad feminist role model because she dresses very feminine and posts videos online of her playing ukulele and singing with JGL or whatever.
This “journalist” went on to say that she wanted her daughter to be into Lisbeth Salander instead because Lisbeth kicks ass and...

Animated Artwork of the Day: Providing context for his most famous work of art, The Scream, Edvard Munch wrote in his diary under the heading “Nice 22.01.1892”:
I was walking along a path with two friends – the sun was setting – suddenly the sky turned blood red – I paused, feeling exhausted, and leaned on the fence – there was...

A wonderful article that made me well up again.

Oh dear, I was going to get up early and get my shopping done so I could be productive.
Time to get the shopping done.

More RtO thoughts
“Make sure my thinkworks are tight and I will formulate a plan”
Jack Pumpkinhead’s voice is creepy but I like how his story is almost straight from the book.
“If his brain’s worn down how does he talk?” “People do it all the time.”
This version of the scarecrow is scary, even if they could have afforded to have him a complete anamatronic.

Return to Oz
I’m fuelling my Oz addiction with a re-watch of this film.
Dorothy is suddenly a lot younger. I’ve no idea how they managed to build that house in replacement to the old shack-like one.
Toto sneaking out the window and running after her is adorable.
I remember so much of this. OH those shoulders on that dress WANT!

So.
They’ve replaced out cash run washing machines with ones that need a top-up card.
I researched my stuff and got my card, topped it up online (minimum £10 :/) and headed with my “activation code” to the laundrette.
The machine wasn’t on so I have no way to do my washing.
I can’t even activate it at any other machine on campus.
I'm all up to date with Parks and Rec
This is both amazing and sad. I would like to congratulate every person involved in this show.
Now I shall be making myself some food and then doing my washing.

My sister speaks the truth.
Mostly: if you’re not going to be yourself on a date then don’t even bother. Relationships only last if you are yourself from the word GO. (Even if no one ever says “go”.)

Paintings are painted for today and white spirit fumes are maybe starting to affect me.
My ideas are starting to become more concrete though and that’s always good.
I need to crack on with my crazy Dissertation now though.

Tourguiding was a really lovely but tiring experience. Lancaster is looking at a good year group next year if today’s bunch were anything to go by.
But now my brain is all fuzzy and I’m thirsty so it’s juice and Masterchef time.

Why is no one emphasising the bit when John said “Nope” with such belief in Sherlock.
In that syllable was everything.
As soon as Tina started speaking I called “Summer Loving”.
Also, the end montage of New Girl cracked me right up.
Time to read some old dissertations to see if I’m on the right track with mine.

“Harry, don’t go picking a row with Malfoy, don’t forget, he’s a prefect now, he...”
– Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix (via diarycrux)
I’ve had an odd day. Not felt too good. Fumes from white spirit didn’t help. Camera battery died before I could photograph my work. Rejected my Lancaster accommodation offer for next year because I’m not applying for the MA here. Meeting about tourguiding where I found out I might be doing it alone. Got lost in County Main for a bit. Felt a bit ill. Faffing with MA application....
