I'm gonna start a little series of blog entries depicting and describing essential parts of our daily diploma life over the past five months. Starting off with maybe the most fundamental building block of our creative process: food.

Since we spent an average 10-15 hours working at school each day, it was pretty much inevitable that we also eat our breakfast, lunch and dinner there. As our days usually got off to a relatively slow start, breakfast often didn't consist of more than store bought sandwiches and orange juice / coffee at 12:00 a.m. Logically, lunch was mostly skipped due to time issues and so the next time we'd eat something was typically around 9 or 10 in the evening.

In the beginning we tried to cook as often as possible but near the end of the semester no one had the time or nerves to do so. So we ordered. Almost every fuckin' night. The pictures might suggest we had Dong Dong asian food each time, but no sireee, don't get the wrong picture! We tried hard to vary our nutrition as it is generally recommended, yes. So half the time we had pizza or schnitzel from these guys...

Super nice video by French indie poppers Hold Your Horses! for all you future art dealers. Never really heard of these guys before but their stuff does indeed sound pretty sweet.

Even though it might have seemed that way the past one and a half months. Truth is that so much shit – first and foremost my diploma – has gone down during that period that I simply didn't have the time to do any updating. Hopefully that's about to change though.

I don't know how well I'll be keeping this thing alive – especially since my daily endeavors probably wont be too exciting in the upcoming months and also because I have another website to take care of now (which most of you probably already know about but which will still get its own blog entry :D) – but I'm gonna do my best. I've already started by cleaning up a bit, removing most of the link lists and completely updating Movies and Mixtape. New entries about what has happened and what is about to will hopefully follow.

If anybody actually still cares to read that is...

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.
