monday again - how'd that happen?

watup.

I was reading the blog 'Silverbeige' and she posted this thing
about this swimming pool illusion that this artist made...

there's a family living in a swimming pool?!
living...breathing...
how did he do it?!

Well...
basically, it LOOKS like it's a swimming pool,
but the water is on top of a thin sheet of acrylic
so there's no water in the pool, only on top of the sheet!
Huh!
I love stuff like that :)

Anyway, today was Monday, which sucks, 'cos who likes Mondays?
exactly
it's the start of the week, the end of relaxation...
moving on.

Today I had English-Science-Double History-Maths

English - I wrote stuff. Science - er, nothing. Talked to Erin & Jess. Double History - boring! I know! It's boring now! Why was Miss Jones so grumpy?! She's been like that for the past couple of lessons now...like she's a totally different person!! Maths - ugh, had to sit in seating plan. And can someone tell me -
what is the point of a stem & leaf diagram!?

This morning when I was walking to the train station to catch a bus
(yeah,
that's normal)
I saw like hundreds of brightly coloured straws all over the floor.
Unfortunately,
I didn't have a picture-taking device on me.
DAMN!
I hope they are there tomorrow,
it looked seriously cool!

Right,
I'm off,
gonna go see if I can read a play online.
It's called 'More Light'
sort of gruesome and creepy
but really well-written and a very good idea.
Search it!

a couple of people asked how I got three columns,
if you look at the last few posts there is a comment answering your question
from janis at my suitcase heart :)

ciao ciao

&:) I like these type of installation very much, there are a lot of trully creative artist whom we do not know. I you have a mood, search on the internet for Kimsooja, who also used the effect of transparency in her work called 'To Breath' /'Respirar'. (Palacio de Cristal, Parque del Retiro, Madrid,2006)

That illusion is seriously cool. Before I read the rest of the post I was like trying to figure out how the artist accomplished that.

That swimming pool picture was really neat. I think you are a lovely blogger.
I am 14 as well but I live in California, even though it says England. I want to live there so bad. But I think it's really cool that you do. I have a pen pal who lives there in Canterbury. England seems so wonderful.
