Hey!Just a little follow up for anyone wondering out there...I had an interview with one of the best art n design universities in the North West, mentioning no names, and I got in !!!!It's a big deal.A very big deal.Yay me!My course is specialised in painting, and I get total freedom to explore my own directions. It's going to be an amazing experience.Oh and I had a rather lovely write up in the

I think this place has died.CPR just aint gonna cut it.I've not ever come to such a blogging low before, since I started about eight years ago.It's happened slowly, but inexorably.I think this might be goodbye.

I have news!Apparently the government, or I dunno someone somewhere, has increased funding for us art students at the college, however it only applies to first years. Typical. But our tutor has said she's combining stuff where she can in order for us to benefit too, which is where this next bit of news stems from.There is a high chance that our final exhibition in a few months will be held here:

Ahh thank goodness.Afflecks Palace is not closing down.This may well be old news to many, but I'm really relieved. For a place that represents the spirit of Manchester so well, it's an essential that it stays put.Amusingly to me, on my Dad's first visit ever Oop Norf to see me late last year, I was giving him a quick whistle stop tour of Manchester with the first stop being Afflecks.

Thanks to my lovely fella.. I am going to see Sia!So exciting.Bet she kicks arse live.Yay yay yay!Also - on another more positive artistic note - the Manchester Evening News did an interview at the exhibition on Friday. Not sure when it might come out. I was unable to attend though, as my littlest kid was ill. Which is a shame, however I don't mind being one of those artists whom everyone knows

So the exhibition has been up and running for 10 days now. The venue leaves so much to be desired on so many levels. The turn out on the open day was dire with a somewhat telling 3 out of 8 students themselves turning up. Yes that is the level of commitment they have to this course and art in general. When I asked why one didn't show she said and I quote: 'Oh I couldn't be bothered'. And she is

A man breaks into a house to look for money and guns. Inside, he finds a Young couple in bed. He orders the guy out of bed and ties him to a chair. While tying the homeowner's wife to the bed the convict gets on top of her, kisses her neck, then gets up and goes into the bathroom. While he's in there, the husband whispers over to his wife: "Listen, This guy is an escaped convict. Look at

To see a baby in your dream, signifies innocence, warmth and new beginnings. Babies may symbolize something in your own inner nature which is pure, vulnerable, and/or uncorrupted.To dream about a starving baby, represents your dependence on others. You are experiencing some deficiency in your life that needs immediate attention and gratification.To dream of holidays, represent a need for a break

My man circles sentences in the books he reads.He gave me one such book awhile back, and told me to read it because I'd love it etc etc. So i begin to read until puzzled, and in the bath, I noticed the first penned circle around a sentence."What the hell?" thought I, as you well might.So, intregued, I read on.Of course I believed him to be writing me a secret special note in the book!

I was disappointed with The Golden Compass. Now that might be heresy to some, but the book was so much better. I don't like it when films change things dramatically, like endings!Ah well.I'm still sensing a dramatic shift in my focus.

The room was dark still, condensation rolling over the sub-standard window frame and pooling onto the windowsill. It was early and only the cats were stirring, wanting their breakfast.Two figures lay in two single beds, set barely a foot apart in the bedroom.

As I buttered my hot cross bun this morning, a rather wicked thought came to me and I wondered whether I'm turning evil in my old age.I was thinking how amusing it would be to feed my mother two + hot cross buns for her lunchbreak from work.

Well I was discharged from hospital earlier after having spent the day there.I had a case of anaphylaxis this morning and last night which was happily nipped in the bud.Things are still swollen at the minute, and i'm on steriods and high dose anti-histamines but the itching seems to be under control and my tongue's no longer threatening to engulf my whole head and stuff up my wind pipe.So that's

Legs Eleven. Originally uploaded by Beaverhuisen Lederhosen. Here is my leg.Yummy huh.It's obviously not confined to just my leg... but imagine this... everywhere. And redder. There are bits in places common decency forbids me from displaying even for the good of medical science and public awareness.I'm feeling lousy. All my skin has swollen up. My calves are huge.. the palms of my hands

lonely town Originally uploaded by Beaverhuisen Lederhosen. My brother's birthday went off with a bang. The only shame was that the usual feel of canal street and the club was marred by a smaller crowd turn out due to Eurovision me thinks. Poor bro, whose birthday always falls on that day.Still things picked up after about one thirty, and a really good night was had by all. Actually one

I hope it plays on saturday night. I'm off out to help my brother celebrate his.. 26th birthday. Or is it 25th? Nah 26th surely. Shit I'm old.Anyway.. It's gay clubbing ahoy, and it's been awhile. Probably this time last year since I went out in fact! One of my college friends was meant to be going, but has funding issues so cant attend which is a shame for my boyfriend as I'm sure he'd have

St Mary's Church West Byfleet Originally uploaded by Beaverhuisen Lederhosen. I found one photo of this church online after exhaustive searching a few weeks back.This is the church down south where my Nanny and Grandad are buried and where my Mum got married to my dad.It's very special.Acrylic paint on paper (in my A3 sketchbook for the architecture project).Painterly style inspired by

Detail of SketchbookOriginally uploaded by Beaverhuisen Lederhosen. I've had some shitty news.And it's putting me on a major general downer.The fruits project we did for college as our very first project way back when, was one of the ones shown last Friday to an external verifier. I bet you can guess where I'm going with this.This was the project that consisted of two units, the main pieces of

My depression is seen as a personal choice and my own weakness according to my family. Not as a disease that comes and goes with varying degrees.

Manchester Rooftops On Wood Series 2 Originally uploaded by Beaverhuisen Lederhosen. I managed to finish that oil on board thing.Can i get a woot woot.I'm pretty happy with the result. Now just more drying.I've been trawling through university prospectus' for the last few days. The uni that's easiest for me to get to re school run doesn't seem to have a degree that jumps out and bites me.

Alice (unfinished) Originally uploaded by Beaverhuisen Lederhosen. The weekend was unusual.Boyfriend came up to see me again, bringing his wonderful kisses with him, and I decided I wanted to be impulsive on Saturday night.So after a little online research, I dragged him out into town to the Night And Day cafe to see some relative newbies rock the mini stage and to scope the place out for

*lets out a deep breath*Whoever wrote season one episode 10 of Boston Legal was a poetic plot and poise genius.For a sneaky peek at the majesty click here. Shatner is fantastic. Reminds me somewhat of my father too actually.Also, is it just me or does Alan Shaw in drag look remarkably like Nadia Almada the post op transexual BB5 winner?

Manchester Rooftops On Board Series 2 (Unfinished)Originally uploaded by Beaverhuisen Lederhosen. Huh.I've not blogged in nearly a week.So unlike me. Or what I used to be like when I had less killer more filler in my life.The holiday has been and gone. It's been productive. I finished my English Lit coursework, 3,600 odd words on whether Joyce was in influence on Carver. It wasn't anymore

Redcurrent jellyOriginally uploaded by justgoodfoods. I was in my local Morrisons, shopping for the communal rice n spare ribs meal that mum's going to prepare tonight (read: throw together and proclaim it's brilliance), when my boyfriend's views on what a crap store it is were justified yet again.They had stopped stocking red current jelly.Who in their right minds doesn't sell red current jelly?

My TreeOriginally uploaded by Beaverhuisen Lederhosen. Something more uplifting perhaps?This is the view (well yesterday's view) from the rear of my house.Isn't it the most wonderful tree?It's huge and lives in the park that's behind my backgarden. It's on perfect view from any of my back windows.*sigh*I've been ignoring any lingering weakness and throwing myself quite literally into my garden. I
