For a long time I have refused to make a facebook account, but finally I've given in...and yeah, I love it :| All the silly things available and finding friends from past and present are rather nice.. I'll gladly add you if I feel I know you well here on dA, we talk and such and you don't set my stalkermeter off.. ;-) send me a note..

When I drag myself away from the computer, it's become real summer outside, warm and sunny. The weather forecast promises rain again, but on the other hand most of the time those forecasts seem to be made of drunk people, so I'm pretending it won't happen...

1609 deviations in my devwatch :| Maybe I should get around to cleaning that out.. and I have over 700 journals in my message center. I'm sadly not going to read them all. Poke me if you post a journal you want me to read for some reason, because I don't really get around to reading many journals at the moment... I'm too preoccupied with other stuff...

Rome, Editors, photo tips,container treasures..

I'm sitting in the living room trying to drown out the noise from the loft where the workmen are going berserk tearing down the old roof. I've had it confirmed now that the entrepreneurs take full responsibility for the damage and covers the full repair. I've already conveniently developed a blind spot for the water damage spots in the bathroom, so I hardly notice it, instead I constantly worry about new and worse damages :cry: Right now I worry about the gaping holes in the roof and the rain cloud in the horizon. Thank god for loud music to obscure noise and worrisome thoughts. But I think they will have a lunch break soon..

I feel like going down and buying another cup of coffee latte at 7/11. I already had one though, so I shouldn't. It's better than usually. I think they use another coffee...what a luxury life to spend your money on coffee..

I've finally gotten around to buying a memory card for the camera my parents gave me for my birthday. I haven't really had the time to take pictures anyway and I thought the card would be expensive, but I found a very cheap offer on a card compatible with all kinds of cameras. But now I'm ready to work on my composition skills.. I just want better weather now... Any photography tips?

I've began to watch the second season of Rome. I've forgot how great this series is. I simply love it. :aww: I've watched the first 4 episodes, and I need the next fix badly but I think I will rent a couple of premiere movies first, because I can rent to half prize when returning movies and premiere movies are more expensive. I was thinking about renting I Was Legend with Will Smith. Is it any good? Maybe Hairspray. Or a danish movie called Fighter or Daisy Diamond, which both had great reviews.

Yesterday I made a great find. People have been cleaning out their storage rooms in regard to the new roof and throwing out all kinds of things, and yesterday I noticed a heap of clothes in one of the containers. It didn't look at much but some fabric caught my attention and I started looking through it and :O there was some of the coolest old vintage 60's and 70's dresses. I ended up taking half of it up to have a further look. There's a couple of very, very cool and cute summer dresses which fits me perfectly, a skirt and a blouse which fits and a couple of dresses which could fit but need a little sewing and then some dresses and blouses that are nice but sadly way too big. But I will still clean them up and either give to some friends or sell to a vintage store. They're way too good to just throw out, at least someone like me having a thing for old crap thinks so ;-) One womans trash is indeed another womans treasure.. (this is actually a quote from Sex and the City and another context ;-))

I've seen the light. I've found god. Or gods. They're Editors and I worship them. :worship: An End Has A Start is possibly one of the best albums EVER made. I need to do some Editors inspired designs soon.

The Standard is another musical love of mine at the moment. I was very disappointed not to find their new album in London. I can't figure out if it's out. They say on their website it's done and will be out soon but it's all a bit unclear.. I NEED IT GODDAMNIT. :shakefist:

Other bands that rock my noisy apartment at the moment are: The Gutter Twins, Portishead, Burial, Aphex Twin, We Are Scientists, The Black Heart Procession, Dashbord Confessional, Sleepmask, Museum, Sort Sol. What do you listen to at the moment?

Ah..it's so quiet now...lunch break :aww:

Art and shopping in London

Journal Entry: Wed Jun 18, 2008, 4:45 AM
Hey everybody, I hope you're all well. I came back yesterday after 5 lovely days in London. :aww: I was there with a friend, and she was attending a yoga workshop during the day and in the evening we hung out together. A perfect combo, so in the day I got to see the city and shop on my own, which I don't mind.

I went to Tate Modern and to some exhibitions in The British Museum. I've seen the classical exhibitions in British Museum before, so I concentrated on their temporary ones, they had an exhibition called The American Scene - prints from Hopper to Pollock on american print makers from the beginning of the last century until today - etching, lithography, drypoint, woodblock etc, it was all there used by various artists to express their view on society and life. It was amazing, so many great works :omfg: They also had an exhibition on the fascination of birds and nature in chinese art through times, a japanese exhibition and an exhibition on living and dying in different societies. Apparently an average person in western culture takes 14.000 pills during his/her lifetime :O Two life spans and the pills taken - pill by pill - were laid out as part of the exhibition. Do you think you take that many pills? I don't think I do..

On Tate I walked through the free galleries, thinking a lot about the many expressions of art, the difference taste and need people have for art. Because quite frankly I saw a lot of amazing things but I also saw a lot where I just went :| Popart.. Minimalism.. some of the surreal work.. And I adored the abstract works, the expressionism, the huge Monet they have etc.. i'm not saying that those works that don't appeal to me are without value or interest, they just don't do much for me and it's interesting how differently we do and perceive art..

I also visited a gallery with works from London print makers, in particular there was one artist called Susie Perring, which work really stood out for me as soon as I saw it, and I so badly wanted to buy some of her works. But sadly they were a bit out of my reach economically and I had to settle for a couple of postcards... For now :plotting:

I also bought a bunch of books to more than reasonable prizes :faint:, mostly novels but also one book on asian art, and some cd's as they're cheaper as well. Among others The Gutter Twins - Saturnalia and the new Portishead :D

But at one point it seemed like my little holiday was about to be ruined, I was walking around London friday, had just discovered a church with a little market and a café and was feeling rather relaxed and happy when my phone rings, and it's one of my neighbours whom I not normally talk to. She has a one-room apartment next to mine, her livingroom/bedroom is adjoining to my bedroom.
You might remember from my previous journals that we're getting a new roof etc at the moment and work men and scaffolds and whatnot all over the place. She didn't know I was in London, but could tell I wasn't at home, and was calling to inform me that the work men have opened some water pipes on the loft and the water had been pouring down through the ceiling into her apartment, very much water had come through, it was still dripping ..and she suspected into mine as well :| I fucking nearly fainted in the middle of that church market..

If the water would have gone in in my apartment on the other side of the wall were it had in hers, there was a chance it had ruined not only the ceiling and wall, but furniture, my laptop, my scanner, electric installations, clothes whatnot, placed along the wall..not to mention the woodden floor boards and seeping through to the next apartment.. And nobody had my keys to get in and check, and the foreman of our building wasn't at home. I called a friend who tried to get a locksmith to go out to the apartment with her, but he refused as it wasn't her apartment.

In the meantime my neighbour got the idea to crawl over the scaffolding into my balcony and look through my windows..and she couldn't see any water!! What a relief :phew: I relaxed then, tried to get back into holiday mood, but did wonder if any water would have gone into my bathroom as it's next to the bedroom..and the thought was not overly pleasant but the lesser of two evils, as the bathroom after all is build for water and the floor solid.

Well, the minute I stepped into my apartment I knew some water has gotten in somewhere, because of the smell of rusty water that met me. I went to the bedroom first and here is only a few very small and weak shadows of water that you actually have to strain to discover, and then I opened the door to the bathroom.. and bingo, there it was, big water damage on the ceiling and walls.. :hmm: It's not cool, it needs a lot of work, but it's a miracle it only got into the bathroom, and nowhere else where it could have done a lot more damage. So in that regard I'm happy and relieved :pray:

The work men are fucking idiots, they were messing with water pipes without turning of the water, apparently they couldn't be bothered and they didn't turn it off before my neighbour came up and asked them to. Then they didn't bother to try and check if any more apartments were effected by the water and all in all, from what I'm told, seemed like that they didn't give a shit about the trouble and damage they've caused... Fucking idiots. They really live up to all the horrible prejudices I have about workmen.. if you're too stupid and/or too lazy to turn of the water before doing something like that, I don't dare to think what will happen next... But they're going to pay for this..

Well, enough about all that. What's been up with you people? :heart:

I'm shocked...what would you do?

Journal Entry: Sat Jun 7, 2008, 2:41 PM

I just saw this video and I'm speechless. I'm so shocked. Don't know if you've heard of it, but it's a car accident that was taped by a security camera and shows a 83-year old man getting hit by two cars in a very crowded area with lots of people walking by and cars. Both cars just drive on, and he's lying in the street bleeding and helpless. AND NOBODY HELPS. NO ONE. IN ANY WAY. People just keep walking or driving by. Some looks from a distance and then walks on, at some point it looks like a man takes a picture with his cell phone and walks on. I'm completely speechless. What kind of non-caring egoistical assholes have we become? :no: What the fuck. I simply can't believe it.

The tragic thing can be seen here:
[link]

In all honesty, would you just walk by?

And while we're at the sad state of things. I found this news while looking for some other news about a recent murder here in Denmark where a woman was killed. A neighbor heard noise and her screaming from her house but was afraid to go in there. Instead he phoned the police four times. 4 TIMES. But they couldn't be bothered to do anything about it, said he could just check for himself and quite basically that they didn't care. And she was murdered. He's been to the papers with his story and can prove that he called, but no police officers at this particular station will admit that they have spoken to him. None of them remembers any phone calls from that day. :| Fuckers. It's their fucking job and when they neglect it they don't even have balls to face the music. It's basically the same as walking by a person lying hurt on the street..
