um, yes, i am a soasian. but where else can you study african and asian art?

deadline is the 18th for me. its a research kind of project. but about a month ago all my notes and writing and everything got stolen when some asshole broke into my office. so its not going to be a very good essay, and i'd probably be embarassed to show it to you. but i'd love to read yours. sounds interesting.

looking forward to reading baudrillard. for my project next year i'm planning on doing some sociology of the arts or something like that--just to prove how useless and pointless comtemp art is and and how stupid everyones assumptions are about it.

so are you a soasian? what are you studying? (or just writing essays for fun???)

you can slap yourself because i do study art history. or perhaps i'll slap you when we meet up for coffee/something.

yeah, soas is so lenient. i like it there. i love all my professors too, they're so cool. i'm 26, but still doing my undergrad degree. yes, i choose to do some other things (usually not so healthy ones) with my life while everyone else did their undergrad degree, so i'm behind schedule, but i dont care what the rest of the world thinks.

anthro is very interesting. i made the mistake of taking the soas intro to social anthro my first year and i really hated the teacher which kind of made me shy away from it this year. however, i do like reading all about it on my own. its very much like art history. but with less pictures.

yes, i know. i should be working. i'm currently doing 3 things: 1) lurking on the web and looking at porn; 2) trying to write my essay, or at least read some stuff and organize thoughts about it; and 3) working at my day job--writing letters to clients and asking them to send loads of money to my boss, the lawyer, who just might pay me a tiny little bit of it come the end of the month...

did you know that lagsangne's (ok, i can't spell) origin can be traced back to the british isles rather than to italy? there is a very old cookbook with a recipe that is highly similar to today's typical lag, attributed to this part of the world, and titled something similar to lag. (might be celtic or something, i dont remember. i'll have to dig up the source, but thats really getting off topic for me)

I always play nicely. I am a nice girl.

Ain't nothin' boring about being nice. Being mean is terribly boring. On the other hand, I never said I was good.

Yes, you're right. Fill 'er up.

This feels like one of those exchanges between bartender and down-hearted barfly from an old film.

I went ahead and poured myself another one. Optimism has returned, how ridiculous that it should wander off in the first place. I need to get a leash for my optimism.

Londoner by birth, aye, that's me. I went to: Avondale Park (prime), Basset House (another prime), Hill House (prep), Arts Educational (GCSEs), Portland Place School (As).

Then I went to Art college, Chelsea then Hornsey, dropped out and did a degree in Ancient History and Archaeology at Birmingham Uni.

And now you know my complete school history!

Well if you're looking for assman or managerial jobs then I cant help you since I've got a partner, but we're currently bidding on a pub in west london with a view to converting it into a bar that makes red look like the ameteurish dump it is . All in the pipeline, might never happen, but it's looking increasingly possible.

Fun eh!?

I spent this afternoon enjoying the spring like the ne'er-do-well that I am. I didn't have a pressing engagement with the library, so it didn't feel like stolen pleasure, and I felt slightly jipped. My lord, I've really got to stop with this glass-half-empty rubbish.

Personally I always liked to imagine the red button swung aside bookshelves to slide us down, Thunderbirds-style, into the cockpit of our very own space-ships.

Well done on the essays.

I'm still debating whether or not to see closer..there are about ten other films before I put myself through Julia Roberts.

Nipples hurt like a bitch. Hair cuts don't hurt but their not nearly as fun to get done.

I'm trying to decide whether I should go blonde...I think I'll just stick with dark as the night.
