irrevocabilis	1:43p	And a partridge in a pear tree... BLEH!!! PEAR tree!!! Monday? I don't remember Monday. I remember it sort of got light outside, I remember rolling around in confused pain and then I remember it got kind of dark again... I think that was Monday. Roll back to 4am that day and I was woken up by a horrible stomach pain that caused me to jump awake, think for about 10 minutes about dying, and then run to the bathroom where I spent 20 minutes hugging the toilet bowl. Still in shock, I changed shirts and brushed my teeth and  I scurried back to bed, and Albert asked "Did you just throw up??" and I admitted that I did, with no remorse, just martyred pain. "Oh, good. I'm going too now." And he was gone for about 10 minutes. We spent the rest of the night and day lying there in a coma, taking turns sprinting to the bathroom (it's so close!) ignoring calls from work/friends/family until Alberts co-worker/ friend called us both 3 times and announced that he checked if our cars are parked outside to see if we're okay. It's two days later and I think I'm finally okay. UGH!!! That was HORRIBLE!!! Has anyone seen the trailer for "the Hangover" where one of the guys gets a horrible vomit reflex everytime someone mentions Jagermeister ?? Now I'm like that when fondue is mentioned.... Although many people said it was a 'stomach flu' - I am never ever ever having fondue again, in fact, it's going to be a while before I EAT again. So far I've had two eggs and an orange in the past three days. Sledzik is doubtful. What an awesome way to start Christmas... I'm two days behind due to horrible poison coma. Time to start holiday cleaning... ugh. Nuns are on their way. :) Current Mood: aggravated (3 Comments |Comment on this)

redgilda	10:22p	Happy Holidays! I used to use the term 'Xmas' a lot... I liked it. Until that one moment when we watched "Almost Famous" extended cut again and there was a scene where the mother (excellent Frances McDormand) tells a shop clerk off for writing 'Merry Xmas' on the store window saying that it is not a real word. Ha ha I love this film.   I went to get the tree alone, took me more or less half an hour. When I walked there I felt quite lonely, missing Anne, remember how we went to buy it together last year at the same spot.  I was smart this year and asked the seller to cut off the branches at the bottom so that I wouldn't have to suffer with the axe myself as I did each year.. It's a small tree and I won't see it much (well depending when exactly I'll leave for Paris) but I wanted to smell the smell of a fresh tree. Can't imagine Christmas without it, even though I'm not a huge fan of Christmas in general since my mom's gone... but I like the trees! Yesterday I went to Kasia's place and helped her and Antek to dress up their tree. It was great. Kasia did all the work while Antek and I fooled around a bit. Later on we played a board 'investigation' game Cluedo - that was cool too, we were supposed to play it for a while, it was the first time and gosh, the manual was surely complicated.. half of the time we weren't sure if we're playing correctly :) I sure hope I'll visit Warsaw often. Ha, I haven't even left yet and I already worry about coming back often.   Current Mood: dorky Current Music: Placebo - Song to say goodbye (Comment on this)
redgilda	12:51a	Si j'etais toi I'm tired and kinda want to go to bed already but well, I wanted to write about a movie I watched yesterday. It kinda shook me up, I really liked it. That's the kind of acting I love. Si j'etais toi (2007) - directed by Vincent Perez, with David Duchovny, Olivia Thirlby and Lily Taylor. First of all seeing Lily Taylor made me want to re-watch all Six Feet Under episodes one after another... but well, it will have to wait a bit I guess.. Second of all - the girl, Olivia - amazing! I can imagine that some people may find this movie disturbing... Basically it's about a mother being stuck in her daughter's body (after a car accident in which the mother dies...) so of course she's the woman in love and missing her husband, only she has her daughter's body... But the sexual tension is not the core of the film, so don't be put off, though it's certainly well acted. "The mother" also goes to school as the daughter and basically learns things about her daughter that apparently she knew little about before. Well, anyway, no point in writing about every scene but I thought this Olivia girl was incredible - apparently she played in "Juno", but I don't remember her at all from that - I do remember her from "New York I Love You" (the segment with the prom night, a good one, ahh that's another movie I wanted to write about and never did, did I? :) And all in all this film was a remarkable and special experience for me. I want to read the book. I dunno, maybe subconsciously I'm prone to liking movies about parental relationships... mostly because I've lost my parents already and it breaks my heart very often, if I allowed myself to dwell on that thought for longer, I'd scream and cry.... Also because I think it's sad that I will probably never have children, especially when I do believe that it's one of the greatest and most important 'things' in life... I go around talking about how 'adopting' is the way to go, helping poor lonely children, when deep down inside I know that it is this miraculous biological connection between a mother/father and a child that is what makes everything so special... and don't laugh that it's my maternal instinct kicking in at last or something - it's not something new and it's not THAT anyway:P I still dread little babies. Ok, it seems like I could ramble on for a while like that, so... Good night. Current Mood: pensive Current Music: Radio ESKA ROCK (Comment on this)

irrevocabilis	2:46p	Cold theory sucks. I'm working on two final paintings that seem like just a pain in the butt. There's nothing creative or personal about them - just cold light theory, tortured, forced, time consuming. I just finished one of my classes yestarday and boy does that feel done... I made my first altered book - it was such a great outlet that I'm already planning on my next one. While procrastinating on the color theory paintings. I have to be done tonight!! Urgh. Meanwhile, here are some pics of the book :) ( More pics here ) Current Mood: frustrated (7 Comments |Comment on this)

redgilda	6:33p	Farewell, my education, farewell Throwing away my "education"..Ha!  For good? For a very long time? Will I ever start afresh? I think I should start to assume that now a miracle has to happen in order for me to get my University degree... over the past few days I've thrown away loooooads of notes/copies/copied books/chapters... here's the last pile.. I threw away 3 or 4 like these... I was looking through them, all the notes from History of American/English literature, History of England, USA, all the American culture courses, phonology, linguistics... who am I kiddin.. I'd never pass these exams now... and I guess I'd have to study for the Defense Exam (IF I ever wrote the MA Thesis anyway, which - let's face it - I don't really even think about doing anymore that often). Sometimes I feel bad for not having finished. I was so close. Only the dissertation left. I even wrote 1 chapter back then. But then life got busy and I sure still ain't good at managing my time... People have families, jobs, lectures on weekends and still manage to complete their studies.. I was jobless, in love, excited, devastated, hit with a tragedy - I can find many excuses but what for. Just wasn't meant to be. Sometimes I feel it I should do it... make all the effort, pay, study, make up what I have to... but then... it's not something that defines me or that I badly need to exist. I only need Anne :) Was it really 7 years ago that I would've gotten my degree? Once again all I can say - time sure flies. I think it's time to buy my ticket for Paris and never look back :P Current Mood: cynical Current Music: Morcheeba - "Women Lose Weight (feat. Slick Rick)" (5 Comments |Comment on this)
