Oh this is some great stand-up on nordic languages and stereotypes.

It's not just a stereotype if it's true. The 'Swedes work in Norway' part that is. I've met Swedes working in supermarkets in desolate rural fjord towns in Western Norway. It's like they don't even care where in Norway they go and what they do, as long as they get a job here.

What is this sound... ? A green woodpecker ! It's the first time we have one in the garden
(The only positive thing with the tree loosing its leaves is that we can see the birds better.)

I am too fond of sentence fragments. And run-on sentences. I regret everything and at the same time I regret nothing.

That is a definite compensation for leafless trees, I think. : D

Heading home after visiting DC now. I can finally say that I've been to the capital of the US now. It was the only country I've been in that I'd never been to the capital of. I'm glad to finally be able to cross it off my list

Had a random thought while reading an online newspaper (apparently meat has "some" correlation with cancer); it's kind of unfair that most of the foods that actually taste good are either bad or only good in small amounts. It's like nature is actively trolling us. Then it struck me that in the very least the only body function that is contagious is the yawn. Apparently nature isn't completely against us.

Woo! DC is a cool place (is anyone surprised that I love all the museums there?). Be glad you didn't go in the summer, though, because it can get hot: I went for a long weekend with my family and it didn't dip below 100F (37C) the entire time.

I think I read something about that being because stuff like fat and salt and other good-tasting things are necessary for human health, but for a large part of history, they were scarce. Now that we have an abundance of them, our instinctual tastes haven't caught up and make us want to eat too much of it. But I'm paraphrasing from a source I can't quite remember clearly, so take my words with a grain of salt (pun very much intended).

- the curtains were hell to hang up and align with the projected animations
- the ladder was wobbly and I also have ladder-leg-bruises now ;-;
- don't climb ladders when you get vertigo and also are low on iron and foods. Don't do it.
- I had to paint wooden pegs that the people aren't even gonna see because the teacher wanted them to be white to match the curtains. Got a very wonderland vibe from that. Like, that rose painting bit.
- glow in the dark skulls 8D
- black velvet plinths were hard to cover: i used a staple gun and then sewed the rest. I only had white thread (i cry) so it was a real test of inconspicuous sewing. which is passed. cant even see the joins.
- one of the plinths isn't a plinth it's actually a wooden frame that only LOOKS like a solid plinth muahahahaha
- the new adoption of Halloween here meant that the fabric I wanted was always SOLD OUT every tiME I CHECKED
- THE IRON FROM HELL. Dubbed by the class a Pazuzu Iron, it destroyed everything it touched within its 1.5m cord range. Everyone who needed to iron things had to use a hair straightener.
- I ironed my floor to ceiling curtains with a hair straightener
- my kneeeeeeeees hurt
- everything hurts why is setting up an exhibition so painful what muscles did I even USE
- people working late into the night, I had to finish and leave early
- lock fiascoes
- people banging on the library doors yelling for help because they got locked in five minutes before the deadline, had to get security to open the doors
- tough students breaking down
- there was an incident where I got locked in the storage room in the basement for half an hour and had to email my teacher to let me out
- no one could find a broom, turns out Printing upstairs was hogging them all
- I accidentally left my projector on when I left and had a panic attack thinking it would catch fire and burn the art school down, ruining everyones work and screwing up the states rumoured plans to sell the building to a hotel to boost the tourism industry it would be a state tragedy and it would be all my fault

Woohooo! Go you! Congrats on finishing what sounds like a terrifyingly difficult task! "AAAAAaaaAAA" is the correct response, I believe, but so is "AAAAaaaaHhhhh... this is good chocolate."
