It's time to BLOG!

This entry made itself all silly! It wouldn't let me format it normally... 


I FINALY got myself a card reader so now I can start taking pictures again without deleting all my old ones... This makes me happy. But spending way to much money on stuff like that tho doesen't make me happy. I'd rader spend lots of mony on pretty clothes, shoes, cds, books and a new computer... My goal is to afford a mac book pro 13 inches without feeling guilty. But that might never happen so I should probably just get it now.

since last time we started the information project properly. I'm doing it on the history of makeup ( I feel so vane!) , focusing on Egypt, the middle ages and the 17th-19th century. Bad idea! The trends haven't changed much trough the ages. Pale skin, red lips and cheeks, kohl arounf the eyes and to shape/darken the brows. Only in the last say 100 years do they seem to have changed. So I'll have to come up with something smart to make it interesting. 

I have also joined the gym again :) my goal is to go every other day, or at least 2-3 times a week. Lets hope I'll be able to keep it up! So far I'm  just enjoying moving my body and working out again. I sit still on my ass to much of the time with the course I'm doing. 

And in the weekend we celebrated several birthdays. Silje, Bex and I baked some delicious foods and made our way up to shantyhouse to celebrate Lisa on friday. Good fun was had, good wine drank, good food eaten and good music played/ listened to... 

(Oh on that note! the last week I've been listening to Tokyo Police Club loads... I went to see them at Roskilde 2008 but thein I kinda forgot about them for a bit... But they're good. listen here)

Back to the parties. On Saturday, after recuperating from a liitle hangover, it was time for Silje and Fayes late birthday party. The theme was crossdressing! And I must say, this is probably the party where people have put the most effort in to their costumes. :) Here, have some pictures:

                                              Don't they look cute?

Other then that I spend way to much time on the internets drooling over stuff, as usual.. Lately this pretty look is a favourite: Morigirls tumblrLuckily loads  of it is knit and crochet... So it's easy to make. Big soft scarves, earmuffs, fluffy hats, flowy skirts and natural matereals. Right now I'm making socks kinda like these:

mmmm.... I'm running out of things to write about so I'll just put in some more pictures of stuff I've made lately... 

  

These are two small owls I made Bex for christmas. Sorry about the quality, the lighting was bad and my flash sucks.

Little teddy I made as Siljes christmas present. 

Oh and the last picture, I dyed my hair again:

My "bumpits" are in here as well...

Just bought them and I have to learn how to use them properly.

It's snowing in Fal!

It really is! This is the second year in a row! and before that it has apparently been 20 years since last time.. :p I went to restock on food today and they were all out of bread in Tesco. I laugh....

But yes. I came home  to a nice and warm house yesterday (thanks to Faye arriving a day before the rest of us. ) And I should currently be unpacking. And there goes my new years resolution of not procrastinating down the toilet. The trip from Norway went fairly well, exeptfor the fact that the BRILLIANT people at Gatwick had decided to put heaps of snow in from of half of the gates, so we had to wait a bit on the runway. We spent the nigth on friday at Bexes house and most of the day yesterday on a train behind some really easily impressed and not to bright Americans... "Oh' LOOK! THERE IS A BOAT ON THE WATHER!!!!!" yup. The trip gave me a bit of a headache but it's all fine now :) When We got back we made our way up to Jackobs ladder for a few drinks. It was fun seeing everyone again, it's weird how fast you can come to miss people. I was only away for a month...

Tomorrow it's back to uni to start the information illustration project. I haven't done nearly enough research for it but I think I want to do it on owls... I don't know  what to do about it tho'. I don't want to make a book... Maybe I'll just make a poster and a "bould it yourself" model or something... meh. I'll come up with something...

And lots of changes are hapening with the Fish. Our capain, Chris, is moving away, as is Tim and Molly. We are moving rehersal space to the sipwrights. It will be nice to have actual heat and stuff... But i'll miss our weekly trips to Jackobs.
