112. and i discovered… that it's sexy, sexy

Saturday, May 30th, 2009

Aiight, time for some uni wank.

This was for a project on identity, selecting a photographer and taking a series of photos in their style and understanding of Photography. Rather than picking one, I chose to look at two photographers; Hilla & Bernd Becher and Fay Godwin, to compare and contrast their photographic techniques. However, I will only be uploading a couple of my Fay Godwin responses as…. that’s my choice. You can see some of Godwin’s work here, though I’m not certain if all of those images are hers. I’d say the first three are though, definitely. Typically Godwin uses medium format cameras, but having no previous experience with them and a time limit, I stuck to ye ol’ faithful digital- something which Godwin DID use throughout her career… so it’s okay!

The 2nd image is probably my favourite throughout the entire Becher & Godwin series.

On a final note… my housemate Stu reckons I look like pedobear. Should I be concerned?

111. you're delicious? hell no!

017Helloooo.

So the day after my birthday I visited Benjamin who had bought me a small mountain of gifts (he probably would have been beaten up otherwise) including; a Raving Rabbids figuring dressed up in an Assassin’s Creed cloak, an actual Assassin’s Creed figurine of Altair (babe!), a t-shirt that says ‘Screw the rules, I have money’ (If anyone watches YGOTAS they’d understand this reference), another t-shirt of Pedobear as seen to the right (hello fattyface). Underneath pedobear the caption reads ‘Calm Down! You’re frightening the children….away’, and finally my big present was the Black Adder box set. I love Black Adder, it’s probably one of my favouritest comedies so I was thrilled with this.

Thursday morning I went into Uni to collect my portfolio as assessment was over, and somehow my friends and I were duped into doing painting… something we weren’t supposed to do until Friday. :| This pissed me off, as I had no warning meaning I was wearing nice clothes etc. Luckily, I didn’t get any paint on myself, and once painting was done, suffice to say I left VERY quickly. This, however, didn’t piss me off as much as a 8ft presentation board collapsing on me. I was happily minding my own business, when I hear Toni scream, and before I had a chance to do anything, I feel this massive weight on my shoulder. GOOD ONE, NUCA. My tutor didn’t even bother to ask if I was okay. :| I’m pretty sure if he’d have acted more concerned if I threatened to sue them due to poor health and safety. :U Burn.

Bugger me, I’m so bored. Postal 2 for some reason won’t boot up, all my other games I’ve either completed or I’m tired of, and The Sims 3 don’t come out until next week. Not having the panic of assessment has left me with nothing to do. :| I think after I’ve written this entry I may share some of my uni work, since I rarely ever do that. I might even start sorting through all my stuff in preparations for moving out next month. Can’t believe it’s only 4 weeks to go now!

Happy 20th Birthday to meeeeee~~

So far the day has been eventful. I had to be up early this morning so I opened my presents at midnight. Amongst the gifts were money, perfume, girly things etc. And the ‘big’ present was a Zen X-Fi which I am chuffed to bits with. My dad had already charged it, stuck on some Pure Reason Revolution and a video so it was ready to go, and it’s awesome. I was up at 7:30 this morning to get into the city for a ‘makeover’ (something which was clearly needed), it was nice but it needed my false eyelashes which were promptly stuck on when I got home after a liquid lunch with Butty. A very, VERY liquid lunch. I came home half cut, which was excellent.

In other news, my end of year uni assessment was on Thursday, with a bit of luck I have passed and made it to 2nd year, although I’m still at uni until the end of June. I broke my toe a fortnight ago by tripping over a uni book (seriously that place is out to get me) and I am completely obsessed with Girls Aloud currently. Do I need a life? I think so.

My ever faithful phone has given up the will to live and bit the dust.

RAGE.

I can’t afford to eat when I move out, let alone replace my phone. D: Daddy…
