UHM, COMPUTER AND MY NEW FAVOURITE MUSIC CLIPS AND STUFF

Hey guys, i hope everybody is well!:)

My computer nearly died a couple of days ago, now im very sad.:(
Coz i cant use it and have to sneak on my man's laptop whenever he leaves the house and i will prob have to buy a new one.
And my car played up again this week, but i got a pretty good mechanic and it wasnt Too expensive. What i also like about that guy is that he always tries to explain to me whats wrong and shows me the faulty parts, to me, who has no understanding of cars whatsoever apart from that u have to put water and petrol into them.
But im not stupid and things start making sense to me! ha ha

Anyways, computer issues in what form so ever shud be pretty familiar to all of us. Coz we rely a big deal on them. And i never *cough* do any backups or such things.
Thats why i wanna use my blog more for backups of my favourite youtube clips.
Nobody really seems to like my clip posts(apart from Alanna), which i cant really understand coz i LOVE funny/interesting/cool videos. But whatever, normally i bookmark them, but i cant bookmark anything on my man's computer or my head is going to explode from the messiness!


I came across some really nice new music lately by accident(dont we all love that), its all kindof modern folky, the first one is a bit punky too(And its my favourite; 'Low'(Monkey), this band is is so cool and they get a 100% for looking cool and a great video too)


Then we have Fleet Foxes(White Winter Hymnal) i think they are pretty popular right now, i watched a lot of clips of their tv appearances; and i think they are sweet, u dont get a lot of sweet bands anymore. So well done on them. Lovely video too, reminds of the stuff i used to watch as a kid.


Then we got 'Iron and Wine'(Boy with a Coin) i really like the sound of this one and i like the dancing, but not of the red lady, whats with that big skirt being in the way?:P


And then my alltime favourites in crazy stupidity 'Flight of the Conchords'(Ladies of the World) a kiwi band who is just funny.
Dont u just think that video is HOT?!:D

NON-RED PAINTINGS

I havent blogged for ages, just about over 2 weeks to be precise.
I really wanted to catch up with all my Etsy orders and do some organizing and stuff.
Also, we(the man + i) started to have designated OFF-computer days now during the week, Yeah, see, thats where i come to now, "Im a fuckin internet addict!" Im serious!
I spend so much time on Etsy(checking my shop, preferably every 5 minutes), on Twitter, on the Dust thread, on fuckin whatnot, i barely was getting anything else done, its actually sad and i wasnt able to stop, neither was i really productive, so off it went(the computer i mean).


I did that already a while ago, but wasnt be able to stick to it, due to time management problems, but now its on. Sometimes i wish my life was simpler(im working on it) a bit like "in the old days", well kindof, i wish id rather spend my evenings with my man in the kitchen to cook or write something, read, paint or just talk, "Make/Do" something, instead of just consuming, like telly and internet and stuff..


The weekend before last(like 2 weeks ago) i thought that there were too many red paintings in the kitchen so i decided to paint some 'Non- Red Paintings', i still had some canvasses around and my acrylics and off i went. Now i havent painted for Aaaaages, but im quite satisfied with my non red paintings, they freshen up the place. The are quite gradient and soft.


Also, i find it incredibly stupid(?) maybe kindof sad is a better word, if people say 'they Cant paint' if u can hold a brush then im sure u can paint, its like walking. Maybe u cant 'paint a portrait with life-like features' but that isnt really the objective is it, i think if u enjoy doing things then u Can do them, and the outcome doesnt really matter so much, or maybe its even nice too, im sure it wud be.


Btw, that fish painting is 'a halfnhour fish', another one of my home improvement projects, i had a friend once come over and thought my kitchen looked a bit bare, so i decided to paint a fish.

What have ur latest creative projects been? I wanna see pictures!

WELCOME TO WORM WORLD

GOOD WORM (Candy Dragon Worm)


BAD WORMS (also commonly know as serger worms; they tend to live and crawl out of ur sewing machine, the more u sew the more serger worms u get, if u dont vacuum them away regularly one day u will choke on them)



I adopted Snowball Worm, she made good friends with Brunhilde(in the middle) and sheep(well, that black sheep on the right). Now she spends her days with me in my cutting room, she is very content and quiet. Just lovely!

I also wanted to introduce u to The Worm Lady, but unfortunately i cudnt find a picture of her. This woman is a London poet who participates every second Tuesday in a poetry slam at the Foundry in Shoreditch.

Its crazy, all her poems are about worms, i can barely understand a word of it and shes got quite a following. I think her catch phrase is something like "..and they sway from siiide to siiide" with all her followers chanting along, its really quite a site to be seen and i highly recommend it if u ever get to East London on a particular Tuesday. The Foundry is nice for a drink too, aah the good ol' days!!
