(Insert song by Green Day yourself because i cant remember the lyrics)
Just to say that i probs wont be updating my blog until at least friday night. My project, oh god, its due in friday 3pm and my dolls that im making are not going well, i plan to make about 20odd by tonight - my tutor (and most of the people who know im making dolls, just raggy cloth dolls, nothing special) keep asking me how they're coming along. To my friends i tell the truth - the progress is bad, but to my tutor its like 'Oh yeah, they're coming along.. ok.. i guess..' that kinda response. I was thinking earlier what my tutor must think i get up to when im at home.. i dont do a lot to be honest, watch tv, do some work, go online, facebook, check out blogs and eat. Plus i dont get home until around 6-7ish which doesnt usually help. I only got 2hours sleep last night and got a 40minute nap earlier. I plan to do the same tonight - more late nights until the project is handed in. I have to make 30odd dolls in total, hopefully 20 tonight - if i can find all the fabric and get them finished tomorrow - the 20ish dolls at least, tomorrow night is focused on sketchbook, wednesday going round my friend's so she can help, and then sketchbook the rest until friday 3pm.
Although i wont be posting anything new, i'll still probs be checking out the usual blogs and the occassional comment of come friday and you'll get a bunch of comments from me.
Ok, off now.
Brap brap.

Moleskine
I was planning on a post about some sort of clothing outfit i was planning to buy once they hit the sales, but Topshop has already been done - and my letter of complaint to get the free stuff needs to be written, and H&M doesnt do that online ordering thing, there arent many shops i shop at that have online shops so i decided to have a look for more Moleskine journals.
Ive already got about 4 books ready in my basket on Amazon, just waiting for a small delivery of money on tuesday (i think, should things go my way) and they will be ready to be a 'confirm order' and ive already ordered one off Play.com. But ive found another website that does them. By now, im starting to think they're all roughly the same price, but im trying to avoid the actual Moleskine website and go to other sites, dont ask why, but going to different websites NOT Moleskine's, each site offers different selections of the journals/diaries/planners, so this is another reasont to justify why the fuck im doing this :)
I do apologize for the *ahem* bad language, but in real life, i do swear like a pikey. This blog, ive kept the swearing to a very low percentage.
Im fairly obsessed on this Moleskine journal buying thing. Ive already got 10 sketchbooks ready for Uni in sept. Its crazy. I have to stop going into Cass Art. My next obsession was Polaroids - i have 5 'spare' packs, and now this Moleskin, if, everything goes to 'plan', i will have 5. Possibly more.
If you think this is bad, i own 10 pairs of Converses and i only started buying them in 2002. Ok, 6 years and only 10 pairs, but last year when i went Hong Kong, in ONE 2 week trip, i bought 4 pairs.
I really want some Pigma pens too. That calls for a trip to Cass Art though... I was planning to go London next saturday, but i cant remember why. I was thinking of it earlier, go to London to do something, it wasnt go to Borders like i usually do... Could it be Cass Art? Ok, i will shut up about these soon, but i think it was about the Pigma pens i was going to go London for. Its kinda one of the downfalls of living so close there, its just a train away.
I think i need to stop going on flickr so much too.
I promise the next post is bedcovers based.

L-O-L-A Lola.
Today has been one very unproductive day. And i'm meant to have a mini portofolio review tomorrow... maybe I can try and reschedule it...? It's so bad.
Went to London though, with the Parents - Brother is away in Miami for his third year Uni, sadly, will be back in summer after the school year there has finished - and I did go to Cass Art, and therefore bought my 2 sketchbooks I wanted! Ah, if only my camera would link up to the laptop... there would be pictures.
Then, finally. Trying to look for Borders. It was a BITCH. I knew there one a branch in Charing Cross and Oxford Street, but I went to Oxford Street because Mother wanted to go John Lewis.. so anyway, The middle of Oxford Street, like the 4 corners of the world - TopShop, H&M, Ze....-something, it sells pants basically... and the other corner I can't remember, Nike Town? But yes, I went to all the other corners and right down their roads, they are LONG roads, I got the bus back up to the middle, Borders was on the Topshop side, I went there LAST. Took me about 45minutes to get there due to the walking and the traffic. But WOW. Damn that shop has some nice selections of magazines. I saw so many Vogues, some magazines I had never heard of yet they were UK editions... but I did manage to find my Lula magazine, I googled it up yesterday, and people were saying that it sold out quickly and stuff similar to that, but of what i've seen, it is some very cool magazine. Oh, didn't I mention I wanted to get the magazine? Oops, my bad, after seeing it on Magenta Peepshow I decided to curiously google it up. I found the magazine but couldn't help thinking that there was another magazine that I wanted... and having only about 10minutes until I was mean to go meet my (very late) Mother outside John.L, I rushed and faffed a bit. In the end, Amelia's magazine popped in the head and I found it, but it was the current issue and not the new issue 9 that I lust for, it didn't even have the notebook thing attatched to it :( after seeing it at the Deisgn Museum, after popping to London much after the first meeting of Amelia's and on the way back home on a very cold night, I saw this very cool girl - cropped hair black hair (she was asian, like my asian - not that this should bias any opinion but we must discuss the details), leather jacket, white fur Russian-esque hat and I think like tartan trousers. She was very cool looking and was clutching some books and Amelia's magazine. Which prompted me since to buy the next issue. Influences come in weird ways. Oh hang on. It's £10. Oh dear. Yeah, maybe not. I'm sure I can live without that and buy two magazines with that instead.
WAD - We Are Dfferent. I was suprised to see that there. I originally bought WAD in France - I went there earlier this month with my Foundation class, most of us went - and i'd thought it wouldn't be availible in the UK, it's a French based magazine? But it also has english, a bilingual magazine so I read, but yeah, it's a pretty good magazine, good amount for your £4.50. So yeah, i guess two new additions to my magazine buying, I currently on a regular basis buy Grazia and I have my supscription to Elle UK, Lula is joining on - though it comes out twice a year and WAD too, but I don't know how regularly i'll buy it. Might shop around for magazines when i'm next at Borders, broaden my choices... Need to change my room around too, i've been thinking of it for ages now, but maybe when I get my next assessment over and i'm on my FMP then i'll change it and stuff.
Damn I need a portfolio case. And a place in my first choice Uni.
