I couldn't resist sharing this...

Trying to work, I falter and get on Facebook, engaging in an entertaining conversation with a lovely lady. This was her profile picture, just had to share it:


The word of the day is Focus.

Short one today. There is just something about the reality of thinking "oh shit, this assignment must be submitted tomorrow" that just gets all academic cannons firing.

I FUCKING LOVE REPORT WRITING!! RARRRGH!! (''\(;,,;)/'')

Art I love, Part One.

Today's piece of culture is "The Artist's Garden at Giverny" - Claude Monet (1900)


Bask in it. Just simply bask. Stare at it open-mouthed and let your eyes drink in the colour. Now, I know Impressionism isn't for everyone, but this is one painting that literally makes me stop, stare and smile stupidly every time I look at it. The vibrancy of colour, the brushstrokes, the composition. All of it just sings with harmony.

Monet was a genius and one of the world's prominent painters, but most people only know him for water lilies. Not taking anything away from those, he was an avid gardener and tended his home in Giverny with care and skill. He planted his flowers according to hue and variety, making it a living work of art. It remains today, tended by his faithful, and I for one cannot wait to travel to France and spend a day there, basking, walking through a painting...
