Flue, space and rabbits

[secondlina]

My flue has taken a turn for the worse and i'm now pretty darn sick. But work waits for no woman, so i'm trying to manage.
I guess this is what happens when you don't sleep huh?
Well, this week, I'm going to bed early. I unfortunatly had to skip two classes because of illness. Next week will be better.

I finally saw Miss Potter! what a great movie! 



I especially love the intro scene where we see her mix her colors and such! I do aquarelles as well, so that reminded me of my own work. As a funny story, I was actually mixing aquarelles when the film started, so me and Beatrix mixed aquarelles together. 
The film is kinda predictable (but then again, it's even more if you know the writter's biographie) but it's very very cute and moving and the animations are lovely and too few!

Tomorrow, i'm braving the sickness and the stupid weather to go buy aquarelles and mylar paper for my drawings. I really, really, really need new aquarelles. I work with aquarelle blocks, not paints, so they use up pretty fast. I've got ink coming out of my wazoo though. I need some pens though.

Oh, the exposition space commitee divided the space for the exhibit. I know where my work will hang. I need to go take photos tomorrow so I can plan how to hang my stuff. I'll show the space to you guys, it's a bit narrow, but pretty.

I got my wood to build my frames and carved it all. Looks great! so happy.



In any case, time for sick girl to get to bed. So I finish off with a meme, stolen from DQ bunny.

Everyone has things they blog about. Everyone has things they don't blog about. Challenge me out of my comfort zone by telling me something I don't blog about, but you'd like to hear about, and I'll write a post about it. Ask for anything: latest movie watched, last book read, political leanings, thoughts on yaoi, favorite type of underwear, graphic techniques, etc.

Headaches make me go insane...and poetic.

Oh good, you got to see it! I did like the animation bits, but as good as they were, I would have been happy to see more as well. The animations really did serve well to show how Beatrix Potter's creations were real to her. (I did dig up her biography later, and I was appalled at how she was treated. How quickly our world has changed. I wonder what she would think of all the opportunity we women have now that she had to fight tooth and nail for?)

Sleep, sleep, and sleep some more, else that flu will have you done for. XP (A little rhyme from me to thee.)

I also pine for some pine or some other plank of wood, so that I too could do some carving. I haven't done it for ages, but it was always fun..and a bit on the dangerous side. ...maybe that was just me. ^_^;

I will forego asking you anything about what you don't post on here, because I'd rather not talk about private things in a public setting. You get off easy from me.

I really liked the animations too. Although, there is really too few. When you watch the trailer, you think there's going to be tons of it, but nope, not at all. It's still a wonderful movie. I kinda like Renée Zellwiger (is that how you write it?). She's not hollywood actress pretty. She's pretty in her own way. I kinda like that smile-pout thing she does. So cute!

Renée Zellweger, according to the wonderful internet, and I agree. We have too many 'drop dead gorgeous' actresses in Hollywood that may look beautiful, but they're not necessarily fun to watch. (Maybe for guys...) I love when an actor or actress is used who doesn't necessarily look beautiful according to today's standards, and yet their own inner beauty shines through. They're usually much more talented, too.
