colder and colder

For the last 2 years I've loved October because it has become a month where good things happen without much planning. And it seems this October will be no exception. So far:

I have to register for my very important French exam. something that will put me a step closer to my goals for next year :)

My reading on Marina Tsvetaeva at my faculty. Two days of Russian Literature.

Corona Capital Fest. A music festival full of people singing all day long. It is not a perfect fest, details could be improved but it has been a couple of months (June) since my last concert and bands I love are coming, so why not?

Also, this October I will:

1. Enjoy this month

2. Prepare for the cold by knitting stuff

3. Get those 30 pages done (they take my sleep away)

4. Study for my language exams (French and German)

5. Write to my overseas friends

6. Read The Turn of the Screw, no matter what!



Don't you love to make lists? hell ya, I do.

colder

October is here and that means things will get colder. The only reason I love cold is because I can wrap myself in clothes, jumpers, scarves and coats, just that. Therefore, I have to prepare myself to survive the cold. Among other things, I have to protect my head, here are some ideas

cheer up!


I'm happy October is already here; however, I don't want to talk about that but a reborn old crush, activated by a weekend full of his movies (nothing better to cheer up)I'm talking about Ryan Gosling, the Canadian actor who pleased me this summer with his presence on a lot of movies.



isn't he cute or what?

ice-cream

hello there!
This week meant my return to normality after more than a week of being concealed at my place due to surgery. Things went fine. I still can't see 100% good but my life has definitely changed and I'm happy for that.

Well, as my comeback I'd love to show you the work of this visual artist, Daniela Edburg. I just bumped into her and love her, it was love at first sight. I guess I couldn't resist her portray of how we fall victims of our desires. How we are seduced by objects and even die for them. I love how she uses color, in my opinion to create a dramatic effect. In a way the images are playful and colorful in contrast to what they are presenting, I mean death.

These pictures come from her collection called Drop Death Gorgeous but she has other stuff incredibly good



I invite you to check the rest of her work here

I hope to see you soon. Surgery's tomorrow. I'm so excited

late


I know it is super lame to start a blog and abandon it BUT I've been too busy preparing stuff for the surgery that is coming this wednesday. I have to get work done and to do some language homework because I won't be near the computer for a week and I won't be attending courses.

Yes, it means I'll abandon the blog once again but I'll be back to show you crafty things I'll be doing during my absence.

Right now I'm reading Amsterdam by Ian McEwan. I started yesterday and I LOOOVE it. I had to stop reading because an emergency occured yesterday but TODAY I can't take my hands off it. I was forced to do it for work but as soon as I finish I'll get back to it.

If you have the chance go and read it. It is so beautifully written and McEwan always finds a way to mesmerize readers.
