Well...

These days, I'm doing a lot of homework, being with friends an all that normal stuff. Yesterday, I went to the Unge Ta'r Ansvar demonstration with my friends. My school went on strike and afterwards we walked from Rådhuspladsen to Christiansborg with all the other schools. We were 25000 demonstrators i Copenhagen - quite cool! During the strike I watched a frightening documentary about the rebellion in Burma i 2007. It was very interesting, but I felt sick when it was finished. It is made of smuggled footage and it is called Burma VJ. I'm very glad OD is helping Burma this year.
Also, I bought the footloose soundtrack this weekend - lovely!

O my brothers...

Today, I went to the cinema, where I watched Stanley Kubrick's A Clockwork Orange. I have the DVD, but thought it'd be nice to watch in on the big screen. And it was! Very cool indeed! I like the music, the ultraviolence and the wigs the women wear! Real horrorshow!
I'm reading the novel, which is quite a treat once you learn the language.

Arty

I'm not that intellectual these days because of school, work, homework and the bit of social life I have time for. But yesterday I read in my elles@pompidou book. It's in both French and English, which is quite nice because I can try to understand the text in French, but if it's too difficult I just read the English version. There are pictures of the artworks and quotes by the artists about their work and that's about it. I like that - sometimes it can be a bit too much with the author's interpretations of the pieces, the artists' lifestory and so on. Previous post about this book/exhibition.

Also just want to say that the radio's playing Lionel Richie's endless love and I'm so happy about that! (Although this is good too)

Breakthrough

Very short post. I have, finally after quite a few years of failing, completed the Hippogriff challenge in the PC-game "Harry Potter and The Prisoner of Azkaban"! Quite a huge moment for me I dare say!

Fancy webcamming

I realized that I might use my webcam for taking some pictures, and so I did. This is the result:


My old hands demonstrating the graphic design of certain works in the category 'danish chick litterature' ("Nynnes Dagbog" and "En som mig") What I find quite interesting is the similarity - the whole patterny-colourfull-ness of both the books, and obviously the way the titles are written in different styles and sizes, much like were they cut out of some newspapers. I am currently kinda reading both books and the larger one ("En som mig") is about a girl at the age of 18 whilst the infamous Nynne is about a woman in her late 30's following her until the middle of her 40's. Does this particular way of creating the cover for a book appeal to 'heterosexual' people defined by society as 'female' of ALL ages?? I am wondering...




Drawing by Juhan called "If I had a ham I'd smash patriarchy...I found it"(the Ham red.)
She drew it on our 'Juhan and Andrae's day of fun and feminist artistry'. It's gorgeous, I think.

Take That!

Great great great!!! Robbie and Gary finally made up! Oh, what a bloody miracle! Here's the splendid result: Shame

I know it's old news, but I'm writing about it now because I listen to the song all time at the moment!
