Yaaaaawn.

Over the Christmas break my new longboard had its paint job done with acrylic paint, Copics and paint markers. Even though pretty much nothing went the I wanted it to – the wood stain didn't stick well to the bottom of the board, I mistakenly used water-based varnish for the prime coat, the white acrylic base turned yellow, I fucked up / smeared the final graphics with shitty spray varnish and had to do tons of retouching only to fuck it up again cause the markers didn't stick well to the glossy varnish (now that really sucked) – I think the result turned out pretty decent. Still a bit pissed about the type that only barely survived the varnish 'attack' and now looks most shoddy but hey, it was just for kicks anyways.

Hmm, I must've somehow forgotten to make a Best-Of song ranking last year. Too much going on I guess. I'm also not gonna try and list my ten favorite songs of 2008 since I think it's close to impossible to recapture them. Instead you'll just get this years top of iTunes charts :)

1. Tokyo Police Club – Be Good (RAC Remix)
2. Flying Lotus – Untitled #7
3. Hudson Mohawke – Overnight
4. The Presets – This Boy's In Love
5. Caspian – Moksha
6. The Black Atlantic – Reverence For Fallen Trees
7. Matt & Kim – I'll Take Us Home
8. The Boats – It's Not Your Fault
9. Jedi Mind Tricks – Deathbed Doctrine
10. Passion Pit – Sleepyhead

From my room with a view.

I know, I know, diploma is pretty much the only thing I'm writing about lately. But what am I gonna do, it is pretty much the only thing that's happening to/with me these days (oh yeah, and Christmas and New Years and all that schmontz...). With less than one and a half months to go I though I'd give a tiny little peek into what everyday working life at school looks like.

So here we have weekly meetings with our profs, late night work, late night discussions, late night dinners, late night beers and cigarettes and late night movies. Don't get the wrong impression though, we're actually at school all day, they just keeping getting longer. Sounds like fun, huh? Well, it actually kinda is :)

1) Bell pepper skull face.
2) Our profs have a good sense of humor.
3) Icy claw on my window.
4) Why would someone leave these at the school entrance?
5) Wintertime slacking.
6) Daily view at 'work'.

Ping pong action partly inspired by this. 'Nuff said.
