Today has been Golden Girls day.
I watched 14 episodes.
Also, I tried painting with coffee again but I've lost the knack. This is rubbish news but I'm also going to blame the bad lighting as there was no natural light today as the weather has been atrocious.
I need to do more reading and writing and drawing. Tomorrow I hope I feel better, I feel right drained now.
Signing off now bloggerinos.

Blog Every Day in August #5

So that link is the review I wrote about Les Mis last night.
Today I spent hours in the garden while Dad chopped lumps off the tree and Mum piled them up and tidied up around us, I was in charge of reducing the piles of leafy branches into "manageable chunks" that would fit in the big plastic bags to go to the tip.
It was good being out in the sun and doing something manual labour-like. It was peaceful and Dad and I discussed the tv show the Herbs and what the word might be for when something that it animate is made animal like. Not anthropomorphism because that's human-like. Anyway I looked it up and it's Zoomorphism.
I've also been researching artists and painting subjects for the project I'm working on.
S'all been good.
Also, Torchwood was better than usual this week.
Ciao for now.

Blog Every Day in August #4
Guys, it's bedtime but it's also still Thursday so I owe you a blog.
I slept in this morning and did less work than I should have done.
I started writing a letter for Hazel and got her a Pottermore account.
We went to see a version of Les Misérables at the Gala Theatre in Durham tonight.
It was awesome. It deserves a proper write up with all of my thoughts but I will probably tumblr that.
Don't be mad at me old blog, you mean a lot to me but I'm tired and tomorrow I will be more coherent.
Cheerio.

Blog Every Day in August #3
I've given myself 45 minutes for this blog.
I mean that in a way that actually translates as "I forgot about it until I saw yesterdays blog had been auto posted to tumblr".
Seriously, though here is my day:
Late rise, lazy morning playing Crayon Physics.
Lazy lunchtime with James, eating fajitas. Packing.
Trains from 3:50-8:30 with delays and waits and what-have-you.
Home in Durham, soup, reading Hazel's letter and tumblr.
On the train I was reading a book I picked up from the library called "Seven Days in the Art World". It's super fascinating. I'm learning a lot.
I'm exhausted though and I have a lot of tasks on my to-do list for the next few days/weeks.
'Til tomorrow!

Blog Every Day in August #2
Mum's just made me aware that Hazel has lost her glasses. Bit of a predicament for her being out and about in the Lakes.
James and I just watched a program about Stephen Hawking, we didn't learn all that much in nearly 50 minutes. Not really that worth watching.
We went on a lovely long walk today though, it was far too warm at points but a worthwhile endeavour.
Wanted is an odd film, I finally finished watching it today. All the actors do great jobs and the cinematography of it is rather fantastic it's just the crazy plot that lets it down.
I'll be heading home tomorrow... it will be strange to not be spending full days with James again.
I've got theatre on Thursday to look forward too though!
Les Miserables again and that's one of my favourites.
TTFN!

Blog Every Day in August #1
Hello there you little underused blog.
I did a full year of this once and now I tumblr everyday instead. So Long and Thanks for all the Fish. Or perhaps not because I'm giving this blog one last lease of life before I probably move over to tumblr for good.
I'll always remember this blog and I'll probably check who else has posted but it's a poor format and one that I'm keen to move away from really. Posts on here date back a long time.
Anyhoo, on with the bloggy side of things.
Today I made a fairly short video for thesquirrelrebellion because I'm filling in for Hazel while she is away on Outward bound. It was only about a minute long but I unfortunately had very little time to actually spend on it. I feel a bit bad that once again it meant I didn't make a video for my own collab channel thesexymacaroni, however no one else was making videos for them either...
Over the last few days James and I have been on a huge Harry Potter kick. We've watched films 3-7 and then today been to the cinema to see 7ii. I've finally completed the computer game from 2001 and we've both got Pottermore advanced accounts. James' email was SO delayed and he was in a funk for a bit. Seeing as we both submitted out details within a 5 minute period and I got my email at 10:40 and he got his just after 12!
Anyway, a good day was had today.
An opportunity to take part in an art project for Durham Council has been offered to me so I'll update you on that when I know more.
That's all I really wanted to talk about today I think. We're going to watch Wanted and then eat some cheesecake.
Ta-ta.

Being home (a blog post)
So on Sunday my parents turned up in Lancaster with a packed lunch and the willingness to help me get myself and all my "stuff" home.
We sat and giggled about "buttery biscuit base" while we ate our tuna sandwiches, chicken crisps and carrot sticks and stared apprehensively at the pile of boxes and bags that sat on my bed.
I forgot to take a photo of it again but the whole surface area of the bed was covered and the pile was up to my shoulder in some areas.
Thankfully my Dad and James are rather strong, at least, they can carry my heavy boxes of my huge collection of possessions to the car. It was a struggle to fit it in and still have space for me to sit, we were packed in tight and if some of my boxes hadn't been collapsible and the contents able to be distributed into gaps then I'd have had to get the train back.
We also raided the freezer because there was only Tom and I left in our flat and there was LOADS of food which, because James is staying in Lancaster for another week, we pilfered for him. There was also some Chocolate Fudge Brownie ice cream, that became mine for the car journey.
That's the majority of my going home story.
Since I've been home I've been to pick up my volunteer shirt for the Brass Festival, go for a picnic with some friends from school, pick up my mugs from Esquires and install the Zommbinis for endless logic fun.
Today I have some planning to do (quite seriously so), I should hopefully find an opportunity to update my website and I will probably play some more computer games.
Tomorrow I'm having tea with an old friend who I rarely see, Chinese food to be precise and we'll then go see the School Concert at our old school.
