Today was a long day of Illustration and style.
We continued working on drawing a part of a silhouette on a mannequin, then we had to draw a silhouette from a fashion magazine with ink, which was a pain the ass. Because as soon as you make a small mistake putting down your pencil on the wet paper, you're pretty much screwed up.
But I ended up with one kinda good drawing, that I've scanned to show you it.

Schinichi Maruyama

Nikki mentioned some of her friend working for Donna Karan in New York, so I could try to contact her if I wanted an internship there. So I took a look at DKNY's website and read about Schinichi Maruyama being one of her inspiration sources. I looked up his work and find it very peaceful.

YOGA-Sunday

This morning I took a vinyasa-class at this beautiful studio by Belleville.
Anna was teaching, and it was just not what I was used to at the Bikramstudio, it felt sooo good though. After the class we got to taste some weird stuff by this lady that does catering in raw food. It was really good, I just didn't know really what I was eating.
Then, me, Anna and Nikki had a drink at a café and picknick in Butte Chaumont which was really nice.
I'm now at home ready to do my assignment for school, it's just that I'm not 100% sure what the assignement is about. So, I'll just wait for tomorrow and ask my classmates about it :P

Electro night at Grand Palais

Birdy Nam Nam and Etienne de Crecy last night at Grand Palais. Great music!!

Punkahontas and the DUcks by JC Castelbajac at VIP Room Theatre

SuperHeroines

Cojean is going to have a big b-day party, and the theme is superheroe...
I'm thinking about superheroines, with an awesome costume...
I don't wanna do Wonderwoman, or Batgirl...
Might be: Sailor Mars or Darna...

Well, I don't wanna walk around in bikini a whole evening...

My first day at school. Three hours of nude drawing=awesome!!!

One respond, yes!...or NO!

So of all the calls we did this afternoon, I had one guy calling me back. He sounded very stressed and rude on the phone, but whatever.
It was by M°Telegraphe. When I got there it was already a couple there.
Later we were 3 couples and me.
So we saw the building, that was under construction, so the view from the actual appartement, well, let's just say there was no view!
The first appartement looked ok, it was under construction as well. The only problem was you had to go through one of the rooms to go to the bathroom...and we don't want that.
The 2nd appartement had a nice kitchen...period!
There you also had to go through the first room to get to the 2nd room, which was about half the size and triangle, and the bathroom was about half the size of our current bathroom(which is already tiny).
The others seemed very interested in the place, I just tried to figure out an excuse to get out of there.
Why would you wanna pay 1100€ for a place you can only use about 60% of because it's not symmetrical!!!
I think I'm going under.
I'm sorry if I'm sounding too french, but I now understand why the french complain so much.

calling ads

"Hello
We just found your appartement ad, and wonder if it's still current?
-Yes.
...so would it be possible to visit it?
-Yes. WHat do you do?
Juliana:I'm a student, doing sportstudies...
-How are you going to pay?
...by cheque or cash...why?
-Oh, no other way?..."

Oh so I c, now you have to be a prostitute to be able to rent an appartement?...

"Hi
We just saw your appartement ad and would like to know if it's still available?
-In what sense?"

...huh? what sense? well in what sense are you putting an appartement ad for??? stupid!

THAT'S HOW WELL OUR APPARTEMENT RESEARCH ARE GOING!

The Ugly Truth

I was on the right mood for a stupid, romantic comedy.
The best part about this movie was when one of the carachteres Colin, takes of the shirt, and some girls in the audience goes "aah...", hilarious...

Whatever Works

I ended up watching Whatever Works instead of La Haut. It was pouring rain this evening, so the perfect movie night. And I was just in the right mood for a Woodie Allen film.

C'est la rentrée

Four days of cinema! Yay!
All movies in the theaters are 4€, I'll finaly have afford watching movies!
Tonight, me and Nyko went and saw Inglorious Bastards, it was pretty good. I haven't been much of a Quentin Tarantino fan. But I was surprised I could actually follow the story, and I didn't have to put my hands infront of my face during the whole movie.
Tomorrow I'll probably go and see La Haut. :D

Books on my wishlist!

Sunday afternoon in St. Germain de pres doing some capoeira...fun times!
(photo taken by Adam Tamel)

had about zero hours of sleep...

Yesterday was my free day from Cojean, and I was suppose to do things I had to do, but instead my bed looked really comfortable and I decided to fall asleep for a couple of hours. After that a friend from the capoeira had an apero. It was really cool, but it became a bit late considering I'm starting work 7:30 today. So yeah...my alarm is ringing right now, and I should get up. I've been trying to sleep for a while now, but haven't been able to. I have too many things in my head, but so I decided to look for appartement ads. I've been looking on craigslist, I haven't been on that website for a while now, just because there's a lot of scam there, but I thought I might give it a try.
I need to go to work now :P
It's so dark outside, it feels like winter...
