A little of this and that...
Yea, so school is going quite well. Last week we had quite an awesome workshop with artist Nic Langendoen. We got to mix our own colours from pigments and binding substances, made our own brushes, crayons and did alot of painting. I especially liked making my own brushes, and will probably do alot more of it! :)
This week we are sculpting (again). We are modelling our classmates' heads this time, and we will also learn sculpture casting. Also quite fun, but you get really tired from sculpting a whole day.
Saturday I went to a (belated) Birthday party for my friend Love Ersare. It was such a nice evening, I really hope Love thought so too. :) They had made this little stage in the living room that was open to performances of different kinds. Mona played some of her new songs in English, there were some more musical appearances, clown performance, performance art, and as finale a dark story told by Love.
I have some fun news. I will be getting a visit from enerjak over Christmas! How awesome isn't that!? Ahahaha, I'm so psyched about it. Trying to plan some fun stuff for us to do here. We will also probably do some sort of art/comic collab I think. We'll see... ;) This will be the first time I meet someone from PE too - which is also where we met on the internets. But yeah, December 10th is when I'll pick her up from the airport here. :D
We got the first snow of the season on Friday! I took some quick photos from one of the second-floor windows facing the street before I left for school. Beautiful, isn't it? I hope we get alot of (or at least a little) snow for Christmas.
I have been missing Japan extra much lately. At least once a week I dream I am there and/or that I speak Japanese. I really miss my life there, it's like a hole I can't fill. I hope I can go back sometime soon - if only to visit for a couple of weeks (maybe next year?).
Also considering starting my own company related to this... I'm not saying more until I am completely sure though.
And I am still working with my weight/health, the way I look at myself, and things like that. It is going quite well. I can see the progress, both mentally and physically. I have days when everything feels like shit too of course, and I just hate myself and the way I look. But mostly now, I feel ok with myself. :)
