where's my goddamn chalice?


When presented with a bargain, I just can't resist. It's probably why I shouldn't go in $1 stores!
Although, this cup is a perfectly reasonably possession. I'm not entirely sure about the "dinosaur" hat though....no I am. It's cool.


My head is definitely to big for this.

Today Anita arrives, I just got a message from here saying she's at Halifax, Nova Scotia so in just a couple of hours she'll be at Logan airport! Pretty excited!

The guys here have been super welcoming and still need to catch up with everyone from Royal Street! I love Boston.

welcome to the US of WAHEY.

Long time no blog, but my laptop is completely dead and now I'm in a different country.
Arrived in Boston Logan at 17.00 US time, and after sleeping for 12hrs last night I feel I may have conquered jetlag.

No pictures to upload as of yet, well...just a lot of cats so far. But when I get more stuff from what I'm doing I guess I'll report back. Now for a mint choco chip Tofutti Cutie and some wii!

Feeling LOST?

Now that Lost has officially ended (personally I'm satisfied with the questionable ending, it was ever so typical of the mystifying directors. I guess I can see why people felt cheated) I have been wondering if there is going to be anything else worth watching? I'm not one for TV, besides the odd cooking show (even as a vegan it they fascinate me) but sometimes a good TV series can be a good thing. Even if they are highly embarrassing (One Tree Hill, The OC...) Whilst in Bristol yesterday I was informed of HBO releasing a new TV series...I must sBy, it looks pretty sweet.





'Broadwalk Empire'

Some of the names in association with it's making:

Buscemi
Scorsese
Terence Winter(Sopranos Writer)
Michael Williams (from The Wire)
HBO

Pretty rad.

"We marched back and forth, young, full of piss, full of madness, oversexed, cuntless, on the edge of war. The less you believed in life, the less you had to lose." - Charles Bukowski
Currently reading this book. I love Bukowski's style of writing. That crazed old man really appeals and intrigues my mind. Now uni is done I'm planning on reading one book a week. I remain positive. I have until sunday for this one, it's a simple read I don't see why not.

are you in?



WOW. Finishing uni has really allowed me to go and do some amazing things! Even in just a week!
For the first two weeks I helped my third year Catherine set up her final major exhibition! She is a super sweetie and has worked so hard, I think it truely shows in her exhibition too! I spent the time plastering, scraping, sandpapering and painting the walls to the most crisp white! We then had to try positioning the 6ft tall paintings at three different levels for the tutors to see she had tried all possible positions! On Thursday last week we finally finished and it looks amazing! When the exhibition opens I'll be sure to take a photo to blog.

For helping she bought me some vegan truffles! DELICIOUS!

This is a local company that make a selection of different flavoured truffles! amazing!


Friday I spent in university doing our seminars. Only 25-30 of us turned up out of a possible 60 students! Kudo's to us for next year I guess! The artists I chose were Basquait, Zurbaran and Chardin. Totally ran out of time debating about others ideas/presentations so I didn't get to do mine.

Now uni is all over for this year I feel completely lost. As though I'm purposely not going in!

The weekend has been super fun, and insanely hot! I don't think Wales has ever endured this kind of weather! It's amazing! After work I met up with the beautiful Helen for a wander around town and a drink at Buffalo! We later headed to a show with other friends. Grown Ups, Muscle Club and a couple of others who I missed. I then ran to Barfly to see the last but one Viatrophy show! Walking home at 1.30am with just a lacey top on is such a novelty!


HUGE blueberry!

B free

So I've finished my side of uni now, and I feel incredibly guilty for not doing anything...almost like I'm intentionally missing classes or lectures. From full on work to nothing is a huge shock to the system. However, I'm pretty stoked that I got a 2.1 for my final project! That's a 'b' for those who aren't aware of the 1st, 2.1, 2.2 system haha. I'm ecstatic about the result especially because I'm so aware of how to improve so over the summer and next year I'm working my ass off!
