Well, I did the wordsearch and the KenKen.

I feel very disconnected from the world today. The closest I've gotten to the news is drawing a Hitler moustache on a photo of Rhianna in some paper or another. I'm not sure it was even today's paper. Turns out I must be one of the millions of morons dooming this world with our content ignorance. I don't know what's going on politically or economically, but I've got a vague idea of what finally happened in Lost, a programme I've never even watched. I'd say I was living in my own little bubble, but I think that glorifies matters a bit too much. A bubble could be pretty fun, if not quirky.

My May (it is May, right?) resolution is to read more blogs and books. Not just blogs and books that I feel I should be reading, as that would be pretty short lived knowing my attention span. The hunting boots and machette are out; here bloggy bloggy blogs...

An oodle for my friend below. Good old pencil and Photoshop. Shoddy linework, does the job.

I never meant to let you down..

I like Pina Coladas. Not so keen on getting caught in the rain.

New favourite website: http://designerscouch.org/index.html

I simply stumbled upon this place but I've found so many gems on there. I especially love (love love) the stuff on the blog. There's too many to post on here without turning into designerscouch myself, really.

I can't decide if I find Karl Persson's paintings disturbing or enchanting, which is probably why I'm finding them so fascinating. I'll keep you posted on that, maybe. (You know I won't).
Link: http://karlpersson.org/ thanks to (another link) DesignersCouch.

In other news, I morph into an undergraduate in a few months. Soon I will be an unrecognisable monster buried in artstuff and paper, emitting the ghastly stench of cider and noodles. They'll discover me in three years time under a mouldy layer of baked beans, impaled on an HB pencil and wonder, "What the hell happened?" Sounds glamourous, huh? I am terrified of the workload. Literally shitting a brick*

Anthony Gormley's exhibition is in town. I should probably check that out; looks good.

*No, not literally literally.
