saving shepard’s pie for my next visit

March 27, 2010

i returned from england two weeks ago. memories are still vivid and i’m tightly clinging onto them. it was a completely different world. it was visiting a land of houses of bricks and big cups of coffee (love both). land of really nice and open-minded people, amazing architecture and opportunities for everyone. enthusiastic runners in shorts when there’s only 5 degrees. and funny but real good advertising. i’ve met some great people, saw gutenberg machine (the supposed replication of it; imagined it bigger), squirrels at hyde park, van doesburg exhibiton. ate carrot cake, felt dizzy watching the roof in british museum. all in all had a blast and would love to spend some more time to see also that and that. and learn.

gave “avavaviva/wow/nothing-like-it” lessons on this great few days to friends, family. and now they’ll all keeping fingers crossed they can sleep over soon, hihi.

make up your (and my) mind

March 2, 2010



these two photos were made in the past week. so i’m blaming the weather for my moodiness (or is it that the weather is moody because i am?). from morning fog to rain/to sunny days, rainbow, back to cold snow. at the moment i’m approving only sun. no more wet feet no more blowing in the hands no more red nose. and then “in the spirit of the zeitgeist” just as i thought i’ll be having leisurely days last week, to enjoy the fresh rural air, to cook lunch for the family, to make a pie or two, to work on some things for the faculty i still have left, i got a preposition for work. i’m glad that i excepted the offer (hvala, tjaša). it feels good when you’re concentrated on work again (surely at home you can find million of excuses and distractions) and in the evening just fall into bed, maybe want to watch a series/movie but you fall asleep in the middle.

i’m looking forward to 9th march when i’m flying to london and attending the open day at the typography department at university of reading on 11th. and i’ll be having my mouth open and shaking my cup of coffee seeing all these talented and incredible people. but i’m excited. and the rest of the days are left for london’s architecture and van doesburg exhibition at tate. and shepard’s pie and jello pudding. whatever comes along. the good times.
vamos!
