rambo vs. greta garbo

besides other great stuff, i got this vintage parasol for my graduation. i loooove it. i'm always a bit anxious with real vintage things. they might have survived a war and 60 years or more, but in general they don't survive me. (even though i try my very best, but i guess i can't deny that i was socialised by rambo rather than greta garbo)
like in school. there where kids whose books looked just like new at the end of the year. mine were in a rather ..uhm... battered state but with lots of new drawings in it. but no worries, i love these parasol more than my school books and will guard it.

 

how can it be...

...so fucking difficult to write a text about your very own film?!

grump.

i'm back and i'm bursting

i returned from a very long trip to the countryside which i needed for convalescene and also to concentrate on my diploma. next friday is the big showdown! i'm very excited. i'll present my documentary in a small but great cinema. which really makes me proud. :)
the thing is: in a little more than a week i'm no student anymore. i'm looking forward to that but it's also scary. now it's time to get really serious about being a freelancer. 
i have so many plans and ideas and i'm taking in all the information i can get about women freelancers. i came across this blog, which i think is really inspiring (besides the awesome lipstick this lady sells)

i'd love you to share your plans or experiences with me!

here are some impressions of my country life

destroyed but dedicated

cats and flowers everywhere

my two citycats were especially amazed by flies and bugs and everything they can hunt.

queen

indeed.

chameleon

i always thought i would never be like my parents. and now i even look like their house.

silvie vs flowers

since i plan to become an eccentric old catlady, here is another post about my cats.
it's dedicated to the ongoing fight silvie vs flowers.

this looks rather idyllic 

but she was actually en cours of biting the heads off my flowers.

she hasn't yet realised that the enemy is so close

why bother fighting it if you can simply lie on it?

how to keep graceful whilst being ill

no idea. you tell me.

but there are actually some things that brighten my day.
books! tea! and food! (besides my mister and my cats that is)
and i've got it all.
let's first spread the happy food news. i found crumpets! in vienna! yay! hurray! yeaaaaha!
along with the crumpets i got myself some buttercreamstyle ready-to-spread vanilla icing. and it's not as bad as i thought it would be! it's actually pretty good. i guess some of you might say that it would be easy to produce home-made buttercream, but let me tell you: i + baking = doomed. maybe i killed a pastry cook in a previous life or whatever, but baking always ends up disastrous for me.

now to the books. i received some today. *sigh* i love my books. and because i can't fit them in my shelves anymore i need to build a new one. i'd love to have a proper library, with all walls covered in books from floor to top.

and now back to food:
flower-covered white chocolate. no need to comment. mmmmh....

i'll think of something less greedy to post about next time.
