2. The Curry Mile seemed enchanting
(not as usual -
- offputting)

3. Yesterday I wore an immensely
revealing
dress and messed up my bleached hair.

4. Yesterday I was messed up myself.

5. Tomorrow I shall stroke my right knee.

6. In two days I will be cutting cardboard.

7. In three days I will probably be very tired.

8. In four days I will swirl around my room, but in a sad way.

9. In five days I will go for a solitary walk around Gdansk.

10. In six days I will get hysterical.

11. In seven days I will fall asleep on the carpet.

short summary

2007-11-23T01:35:00.000+01:00

1. I moved to flickr with a nick selby_royal. This doesn't mean I won't be posting pictures here.

2. Currently settled in Rainchester (or Gunchester), I took 2nd year literally by storm. Recently Miss Bitch Winter Depression Due To Lack Of Sunlight has surreptitiously attacked me from behind which made me lose the momentum. At the moment I am struggling to survive the daily routine over here. Only 3 weeks to go though, however I have no idea what to expect at home.

3. I found a very nice gym in the vicinity where I go nearly everyday. Still, I am short of endorfines.

4. There have been too many deaths in my family recently.

5. Apart from Nils Petter Molvaer, I started indulging in Lars Danielsson and PJ Harvey. Both have the claw, check them out.

6. Barcelona was a massive success, even when my wallet got nicked. Expect some pictures in the near future.

7. I am slowly planning a skiing trip to Slovakia around New Years. I should bring my old Zenit alongside Nikon.

8. 3ds max is actually very relaxing software. I will try to post some experiments soon.

9. I can't believe Rainchester is full of Christmas carols since the beginning of November. Insane. (I was supposed to avoid that word, I know)

10. The abovementioned Miss Bitch Winter Depression has successfully turned off my right 'emo' hemisphere. Hence the lenght of sentences. I promise not to neglect this blog from now on. Salut.

Nils Petter Molvaer kicks ass. His музыка: It's sultry, it's harsh, it's stroking your head, it's sexy, it's textured. Not as cheesy as a cup of fucking Nescafe.

Everyone kept saying how cool the city of Blackpool is, etc. It is said to be so amazing and such a tourist attraction, that it's even got an international airport. Geez, if Manchester and Liverpool weren't enough...
Anyways the only cool thing were the superstructures on the beach and the tide down. The rest, no offence, Blackpool fans, quite appaling. Casino, casino, darts, darts, casino, fish and chips, kebabs, etc.
I wish to thank the weather for having the mercy not to send rain and clouds. And the gale force wind was the nicest of blows!

I am suspended in a mixed state of hope and regret. I feel throughoutly like a закал, a slack-baked cake on my entering into the glory of 2007. I basically tidied up 2006, smashing some treasures in the process. What pitiful clumsiness! My hope is to r3build those. Most probably fool's hope.

When my mind is off that, the only thing really bugging me is the ubiquitous jpg artifact. Disgusting!

And this is my 2006:

In moments like this, I would like to mutilate (heavily) anyone responsible for leaving such architectural heritage to rot and wail in pain. Well, I'm wailing in pain at the moment.

In English (while being in Germany). I might've forgotten some.

It is quite unusual for me to immerse completely into a decadent mood at half past 1 (PM, whereas half past 1 AM would be nothing extraordinary, maybe accompanied with alcohol and a heavy odour of fags in the background). Nikon, which I struggle to be my third eye, is playing tricks on me, as what is has been observing is not me. I'm having a taste now for (a) this old chap analog Zenit, (b) a paper pinhole camera, vive camera obscura!
In almost two weeks I'm going to squeal about experiencing an, attention, massive 1-hour jetlag.

Easter peel sessions.

2006-04-15T17:36:00.000+02:00

In accordance with our lovely tradition ('tradition' is the keyword in our corrupted times), several consecutive days before Easter are usually spent on preparations of tons of dishes, cakes, pies, pricks, dongs and dick knows what else, shopping from dawn till dusk (and, consequently, standing in gigantic queues).

Man, these spring brakes are tricky like hell!

The whole rush starts with gathering some lingonberries to decorate the Easter basket (which is to be explained later in detail).

This is mazurek, a short baking with a devilishly sweet filling made out of milk, sugar, vanilla, optionally with a pinch of cocoa, decorated with raisins, almonds, date and various dried fruit. Lastly, it's prepared only once a year, for Easter. A highly efficient calorie bomb.

Also only once a year, pisanki or decorated/coloured eggs are prepared to be put into the Easter basket with foods that are blessed on Saturday. These foods include the abovementioned pisanki being the symbol of rebirth, bread and meat standing for opulence, and salt which should protect from depravity (although one can see with a bare eye no one gives a damn about this).

Let's say, you've got a shell and some ideas how to transform it. Yeah, you want some summer in January, don't you?

Cool shape, but not quite the right way.

Try again. What's a shelly shell anyway? It's a cut cone shaped like a spiral, but watch out! Sometimes slugs can hide in there, eww, gross.

You can use a nasty steel wire if you want.

And shape it to your liking. Spiral + ribs is the answer.

Put some straps of moist rice paper on those ribs.
