close encounters of t he wheeled kind
other cheesy movie titles
but it is a drama i'd like to remember - i feel terrible today but thats because i ate some dodgy sausages yesterday - i learnt a valuable lesson in where not to buy them. so i dont feel terrible because of what happened but id like to remember why: when im ill i usually joke about feeling like i was hit by a bus and its not so funny any more
it mustve been a day for close encounters neasa, i was standing at the corner with 2 of the girls from lipreading class on north frederic street waiting for the lights to change. i was on the outside nearest the corner itself.
you know how a car shell/chassis is slightly larger than their tyres? well a bus came along - a bit fast for the traffic - and the wheels brush off the edge of the path, so the bus itself brushes off me, a cm closer and i would have been a smear on the pavement
the a-hole didnt even have the excuse of 'skinny road'
same thing happened to mum once, in her wheelchair. also with a bus
on the plus side - tummy ache aside i'm doing grand. i was at a family do last weekend - took off my shoes and got chased by their cockrel and pecked on the feet as i ran for the trampoline in the garden :O 'a cock at you feet?' they say
the work i have to do for next months final assessments is done but i better not say im finished or they will no doubt find some reason why i'm not haha....
treasure tree! - like how that strange sculpture turned out.
shoe sculpture turned out very well but as a design its a bit boring to look at especially compared to the tree.
i have this mental image of a tree for some time now!
next sunday were at ste n mags for dinner, i'm beginning to wonder if i'll be busy every weekend before i'm #leaving on a jet plane..... # not that i mind! its certainly been busier the last few months. suddenly everyone feels social hehe ;)
daytime tv - something that just happens to you if you feeling dodge. i was watching project catwalk (it was that, spongebob squarepants or high 5!) none of which id usually watch! (ooooooh its bones night i just realised :D) well, i was watching the designers - their creations. catwalk stuff can at times be quite artsy you know ;) i have a 'me = canvas' approach to dressing myself as well.
what i noticed about the judges and designers - they tend to play it very safe with what they wear themselves. black suits, or black dresses, tops and skirts (again black), maybe some jeans but again a very safe looking outfit. its not just work clothing - if theyre at a fashion show you see the same thing. the only ones who really ventured out of safety was a gay fella and female hippy-eque. i understand theyre being very careful about what critique they get themselves as it could reflect their collections but as an example..... i have seen donatella verscars (sp?) in the media and that is not a woman who dresses in a way that appeals to most women and she really likes the platinum blond/orange tan thing but you can say this for her - she does it how SHE wants it and her label is very very successful anyway. i wondered if she was a rare example of this working or are designers and fashion judges really really playing it too safe. what if they at least wore something they designed themselves?
i must be very bored today if i gave it that much thought!
i am howver utterly b*ll*xed so i'm going for a rest
