26/02/2009 - Eye Can See You...hurrr...

Picture of my eye, taken for Lady Steve to practice photoshopping on. That is why my eye isn't bloodshot and I don't look tired. Steve rules at the photoshop game.

Listening to: Rachel and Kirsty watching telly next door.

26/02/2009 - Crocuses at Hope Park

Pretty flowers at Uni. Apart from that withered one on the right. I've only just noticed that as I've posted it. Damnit.

Listening to: Oasis - Amanda Palmer (again. and again. and again.)

24/02/2009 - Join The Rebellyon

Lucy drew the face on me and the flower on Rach. I drew her heart. Join the Rebellyon.

Listening to: Gray or Blue - Jaymay

Frogspawn is weird. It's in the pond in our back garden every year, but often it gets really cold and some of it freezes and we don't have as many frogs as the vast quantities of frogspawn would suggest.

Listening to: 5 Miles - Turin Brakes

22/02/2009

Meredith was christened on sunday, and I meant to get a picture of her for the blog, but in the only photo I have where you can really see her she has apple baby food spread all over her face. I'm going to save it for her 18th. So instead here is a picture of Harry terrorising Eban.

Listening to: Come and Go - Turin Brakes

Our Music in Contemporary Thought lecture today was on John Cage, so Sarah R prepared the piano by sticking a bunch of nails, a few pens, and her memory stick in it. I love the sound of prepared piano. It makes me happy in my geekbrain.

Fun fact for the day: John Cage once wrote a piece that called for the performer to crawl inside the vagina of a living whale.

I kid you not.

Listening to: Place Your Hands - Reef

19/02/09

Om nom nom me and Rach made cake. :3

--------

Listening to: Asterisk - Orange Range.  miageta yozora no hoshitachi no hikari!

18/02/09

Sarah and I went to see The Fragmented Orchestra again on wednesday, and this was in the cafe part of FACT where the exhibition was. It made me happy. We tipped, of course. :P

--------

Listening to: Queen of the World - Ida Maria (a.k.a. my theme tune. Look at the lyrics and you'll see what I mean.)

17/02/09

I made a seal with wings out of plasticine. I can promise that it is a seal, you just can't see his tail because his wings are in the way. Lady Steve is the queen of plasticine sculpture. It is also her birthday. Happy Birthday Stevie. :)

Listening to: Stealing Babies - Our Lady Peace

 

16/02/09

As you can see from this model's pose, the influence of the Crab Tag craze has extended to the fashion world. CRAB TAAAAG! (Find out more here!)

---------

Listening to: Ramble On - Led Zeppelin

15/02/09

This pony runs tourists round Liverpool for £2.50 per person. The man with the pony said we could only take a picture of it if we (me and Phil) paid £2.50. We decided not to do that, and just took a picture of it when he wasn't looking instead. Score!

--------

Listening to: Christopher Lydon - The Dresden Dolls

14/02/09

My lovely boyfriend sent me roses for Valentine's Day. :3

---------

Listening to: Agnus Dei (The Armed Man) - Karl Jenkins

13/02/2009

I doodle a lot in class. Here is a polar bear I drew in Popular Music History. He loves you, you can tell by the heart.

--------

Listening to: With Or Without You - Rockapella

12/02/2009

The women's bathroom in Liverpool One are intimidatingly yellow. Seriously, it feels like your going to the toilet in a sunbeam.

---------

Listening to: I Need Something (acoustic version) - Newton Faulkner

11/02/2009

This is Rachel's hamster, Aslan. He looks really fat, but I think he is just part lion. There is a great photo of him doing a rage on Lucy's blog.

I also wanted to post this picture of Freakish Backwards Duck. My mum took this at Silverdale, so I can promise you that it is a real duck and not photoshopped. She says it seems perfectly happy and socially accepted by the other ducks, and just looks a bit strange. A bit strange?

---------

Listening to: You Are The Only One I Love - Jaymay

10/02/2009

We had boiled eggs for lunch yesterday. I can never seem to get the timing quite right at the moment for the perfect dippy egg. My mum is the best at it. Which makes sense, because she's a mum and they can do these sort of magic things like make dippy eggs, and roast dinners, and understand washing machines, and take up clothes that are too long without it looking rubbish.

Listening to: You'd Rather Run - Jaymay

09/02/2009

I realised at about two minutes to midnight last night that I hadn't taken a picture, so I tried to take one of what it looks from inside when I'm wrapped up in a blanket but it was too dark, so I took a picture of my hands being cold on the outside instead.

---------

Listening to: Still listening to Rach practicing. It's pretty.

8/02/2009

The household was feeling very creative when I took this. I was in the spare room messing about on my viola, Will was playing bass in Rachel's room and Rachel and Kirsty were choreographing something downstairs. It was nice.

 I should really get some more fine tuning pegs.

---------

Listening to: Rachel practicing flute upstairs.

7/02/2009

Same night out, but past midnight so I'm counting it as saturday. I can't remember why Carrie was so afraid. I'm sure there was a good reason.

--------

Listening to: Mahjong - Marley Chingus

6/02/2009

Laura and Sarah inform me that these are their best "jazz faces". Laura's birthday night out, taken in the Caledonia watching Marley Chingus. They are most awesome.

--------

Listening to: Equinox - Marley Chingus

5/2/2009

This is on London Road just down from the Cornerstone. I don't believe in love at first sight. Being such a hopeless romantic, you'd think I would.

---------

Listening to: Everlong - Foo Fighters

3/02/2009

Lucy's external hard drive is protected by a dalek and several cybermen, as you can see. I wouldn't try to steal it.

--------

Listening to: The Pretender - Foo Fighters

02/02/2009 (The Snow Day)

I love daffodils. I was going to say they are my favourite flowers, but that's a lie, I can't choose between daffodils, daisies, roses, lilies or carnations. I think I mostly love things that are happy colours. These ones are in Sefton Park.

---------

Listening to: Naive - Lily Allen (live lounge version)

04/02/2009

I'm going to explain away the poor quality of this picture by describing it as an "action shot".

--------

Listening to: Set Down Your Glass - Snow Patrol

1/02/2009

Will demonstrates his artistic leanings by throwing spaghetti at the kitchen door.

---------

Listening to: Vermilion, pt 2 - Slipknot

Mrrrgggllll

This is what happens when me and Lucy repeatedly get "Additional instances cannot be launched. Please try again later" messages. RAGE. And DOOM. And MMMMRRRGGGLLL.

Watching: Eddie Izzard - Sexie
