Best News of the day: JIPPI! The papers are here, New Zealand here I come! Now I just have to do all the official work, applying for money and hoping to find out as soon as I can when I'll be moving. Wish me luck!
And I'm off again! This time I'm a Russian officer (in Denmark) fighting for The Motherland! (A larp).
But I will leave you with lots of you tubes, have fun and I'll be back!
Follow the instructions!!

Note to self: Never ever use a "wight" cloth in the background to still life painting. Trying to find the dark/light and warm/cold colors in "wight - cream" is absolutely horrifying!
So I must confess, I'm totally and utterly in love. And that might be a reason why I haven't had the time to blog. And that everything is kinda hectic, but in a good way, right now. Which is kinda inconvenient in time consuming way and of course that I'm leaving in a couple of months. But the relationship anarchy theory is working a lot better than I hopped.
So Solmukohta was absolutely fantastic! The best thing about it was my total sense of freedom. I could do what I wanted, didn't have to wait for anyone, try to explain why I wanted to go to this or that seminar or stay up way to late. It was just me and of course lots of beautiful, funny, lovely friends. Having the time of my life!
Saturday was my favorite. It started off with "Listening dramatics", a seminar/workshop on how to listen and work together at larps to create contacts between characters that otherwise would have been missed. It ended with a great exorcise and lots of inner thoughts about why I love to Larp.
Next up was a mini Larp called "Tango for two". We worked in pairs and played for a couple of hours, where one of us was the conscience and the other one was the present real character. Like a director and the actor but in a different setting. New technics on how to push each other in different directions and keep going when it gets hard.
Contact improvisation was a magical moment The hole day was about interactive and improvising with play, exorcises and theatre. Moving, playing and expressing emotions while dancing is one of my favorite seminaries. I absolutely love it and have started to actually crave dancing. Can't sit still, need to move, feel and live. I need more!
We went by boat to Finland on Thursday and
been partying every night until Monday morning when we finally got home. The traditional gala dinner was in a sci-fi theme this year, with costumes and all of course. So I borrowed Cats cyborg eye. Couldn't see anything on one side but it looked great! Thanks Cat!
Last weekend we played "Sartre", a larp with the gang from "a nice evening with the family" larp last summer. A strange and lovely larp were we kept on pushing the directors and characters in different situations. This gives the game a totally new experience and adds on so many levels but is really hard to explain.
I have meet a some artist over the last days and I'm so inspired that I don't really know where to start and when to stop. My kitchen is now a working space, as the rest of my shoe box apartment and a huge wire art piece is hanging from the ceiling. The problem isn't that I can hardly get around it or that it makes me lose contact with time while working on it, it's that the space is to small. The ceiling is not high enough and I really don't know how to solve that one, or where I shall store it?! Well, I have to get it done first.
Just came back from my first Inlines tour of the year, it felt like I never stopped and feeling the wind in my face while speeding on made me feel alive. Today was a good one. Thanks to the good looking company as well.
Artist of the day: Florentijn Hofman When I grow old I wanna be a great artist just like him, or thats at least the "WOW!!" kinda thoughts that pass through my head while looking at his art.

My dear beloved pet rat passed away last Wednesday the 9 th of April. I miss him drearily, Kaminari is all alone now. And I'm once again reminded of Keneda, my first rat. After he died I got my second tattoo, he sleeps on my lower back and will always be apart of my life. All the other pets that have gone to sleep scene then have mutated in and become a part of that tattoo. Like Draco from Dragon heart, cheesy but easier for me to handle. Rest in peace my dear little friend.
My Firefox has just crashed once again cause of all the tabs I'm running at the same time. They're all things I want to blog about, things I want to read more, sign or mail related stuff. So before I begin my report on Solmukohta I will briefly get this out of the way. (Not related to anything or in any particular order.)
Global warming is NOT a new phenomenon. Read, weep and be as scared as I am. And of course, hate the "bad guys" how insist on it being a big lie.
I haven't watched them all, in fact just the one "how to kill a cow" but these art films are just to strange and good to be true. I can recommend checking them out. And I will leave the tab until I have successfully watched them all. =)
Bländverk is a friends new blog, filled with lots of strange, fun, scary and political stuff. Personally I like the art stuff but I can still recommend checking it out.
"The Motherland" is a larp in Denmark which still has a few openings, if your free and want an experience out of the ordinary or just want to play with me, then come along. And no C, I am not doing this for you! ;p
Music in my tabs: DMX Krew - Electro, You Can't Hide Your Love (Aphex Twin Mix)
Found a new thing which makes my life a lot easier, no not really actually, just gets me more up to date and has me sitting in front of the computer even more but still check out igoogle, get your gmail, blog feeds and news all at once. Ha, as I said. My daily mail ritual which usually takes me 1½ hours just expanded. My favorite feature, besides the German news feed, is the "How to of the day". Haha is all I can say. Today I can learn everything about How to Identify Dangerous Marine Animals in Australian Waters and How to Make an Anatomically Correct Brain Cake.
Another strange artblog : darkroastedblend I mean, check this out. If you have more of those, please tell me. But I am more of a sculpture, preference and movement in the pictures girl myself.
