Well, this is what a homesick New Yorker does with them…

The rest of his art blog is pretty interesting, too. Check it out!
Attention people! Were you aware that a new sport was invasing the cities? It’s like we all have our very own paparazzi!

Another interesting fact: did you know that the Soviet Army had the basics of breakdancing down to an art? Watch this and you’ll see what I’m talking about!
Oh and, I WANT this computer!
Finally, check out what you do with your time on the computer with this neat gadget:

Check out this blog post:

It shows how one woman can be made to look everywhere from 10 to 60 years old, thanks only to makeup and lighting, with no Photoshopping whatsoever. I find it really interesting to see what talented people can do in camera, although I do consider Photoshopping as an art in and of itself.
I’m not against “green”, don’t worry. It was just voted one of the words that should be removed from the 2009 vocabulary for having mentioned too often (and senselessly) in 2008. More seriously though, take a look at these transparent objects, and dare to tellme you don’t love at least ONE of them?

My favorite are the camera, toaster, canoe and bath. Were I to choose just one, it would be the bath! I absolutely LOVE this one, wee!!
1. What did you do in 2008 that you’d never done before? Failed an exam. Wait, was I supposed to say something positive? Uhm… Actually partied like a proper student I guess. And I also travelled to places I hadn’t been to before. Score!
2. Did you keep your new years’ resolutions, and will you make more for next year? I don’t make any, I let things change along the way. But I have some for this year, resolutions and goals. I’ve made 2 separate lists for those things. Goals are things that you really want to do, within a certain period of time (in my case, graduating and enrolling for my 4th year by March 25th). Resolutions are just general guide lines or things you’d like to do but without any particular frame (working in Spain to learn Spanish, this summer).

Does anyone else think the “poll” button on the WP bar looks like a condom? Or is it just my f***ed up mind playing dirty tricks on me?
Enough I say! Enough comparing inanimate objects to sexually related ones.
Unfortunately this update is pretty meagre: SciPol has been taking up less of my time than I thought, and my procrastination skills are working overtime when concerned with thesis writing. In other, much happier news, Angelo is coming to visit next weekend, so I’m hoping for a nice few days of cinema going, sight-seeing and good eating. Hopefully it won’t rain all the time like when Gag came before the holidays… Cross your fingers!
I’ve been looking to go to Paris on the weekend of the 12th, but the return tickets are too bloody expensive: 60€! That’s a 90€ return ticket for a 1100km journey, whereas the journey home is more like 1700km and is only costing me around 60€. I’m thinking of looking on carpooling sites, but at the moment no one seems to be going when I am. Rats. If only the SciPol madmen that they call teachers would do as they’re supposed to and keep that last week for any classes that were missed in the year, rather than use it like any other normal week, I wouldn’t actually have to skip classes to not ruin my bank account in going to Paris… Ah! The life of a poor-wannabe-traveller-student. Yay.
To compensate for my own lack of a social life I’ve been reading a lot of blogs lately and have found some interesting stuff like
http://thinksimplenow.com/happiness/15-simple-ways-to-overcome-anger/
http://suicidegirls.com/news/culture/23113/
http://suicidegirls.com/news/culture/23066/
The last two are articles written by the same person and I found them on http://galadarling.com , another great blog which I like to follow. Lame, I know. Sue me. Or give me a social life, whichever is closest at hand.
I’ve been writing an article about men and cars. And I’m gonna write another about the recent events. A few keywords: ninjas, viruses, neighbors, parties, photoshoots.
Keep an eye on this space!
Would you tell, ma belle, who’s going to burn in hell? Bloody hell, bloody hell!!
I won’t tell, I won’t tell, I’m not the one who’ll burn in hell.
Versi regalatemi da Tommaso di capoeira, con l’ispirazione dal mio “Bloody cordel is bloody/on a mission”. Mi piacciono un sacco, tra il francese, il bloody e il hell…
Il Bloody Cordel è stato l’ispirazione di Marco pero’, e anche quello mi piace. No surprise there. Adesso vado a letto, buona notte a chi legge questo….
I seem to be going back to my old dressing pattern: the all-time favorite black. Easy to coordinate, easy to wear, slimming, doesn’t show dust or dirt (unless you really try), basically the best thing since sliced bread (despite the fact that I don’t buy sliced bread, but that’s what “they” say, right?).
With a touch of depressing white. Now, how can white be depressing you ask?
Splatter in D Minor
This is how. Not exactly cupcakes and candy floss, huh? But I digress, I’m not here to speak about my wardrobe (which I love, by the way, but I’m soooo not a fashionista, or whatever you call those people).
I am here to say that I am back, that I have internet at home (finally!) and that I have quite a few things I intend to write about in the next few days/weeks/posts, so don’t give up on me yet, I’m still around!
