By far the most dangerous foe we have to fight is apathy – indifference from whatever cause, not from a lack of knowledge, but from carelessness, from absorption in other pursuits, from a contempt bred of self satisfaction.
— William Osler (via wasbella102)
If I see one more trailer for Prometheus I’m going to scream. I don’t need to see the whole film to want to see any film. I remember the trailer for the original Alien was just the fucking egg, the title and the words ”In space no one can hear you scream.” and I was SOLD. These days people want to spoil everything before we even get to the theater.
Okay, rant done.
And get off my lawn.
Co-signed.
Agreed! It’s disappointing going to the cinema to see a film and thinking “I’ve already seen this part” for approximately half of the film. On another note, I really want to see Prometheus.

I’m definitely going to be making some of these over the weekend! I think they’d go well with some fresh cream… mmm.

This week is the final push, and for the final piece for my final major project I’ve decided to create two large ink drawings/paintings. Now, time is an issue because the paper I’m working on is 1.5m wide and 2.4m high… preeetty big. I can do this!
Added at 9:21pm — 0 notesThis weekend has been lovely (apart from certain realisations, but I’m ok with those now). The weather has been glorious, I could get used to the sun and heat. I don’t know why so many British people complain when it’s warm and when it’s cold; can’t please them. The family and I had a barbaque on Saturday courtesy of moi, as we didn’t have a barbaque I went and bought a cheap little one from B&M for £8.99, it does the job! I made red chilli and honey mustard chicken skewers with onions and peppers, which were lovely.
Today I helped my mum down at our allotment, I weeded and broke up the soil ready to plant various things. My mum’s currently building two greenhouses down there as well, they’re looking great! I should be going to bed now, as I have university in the morning and its the “last push” to get this massive piece done for friday.

As I tend to buy a lot of art supplies on ebay, naturally I decided to buy some more oil pastels, and I ended up bidding on, and winning a box of 36 oil pastels for… £0.06! 6 pence! Bargain =)
I love ebay.

It is never too late to turn on the light. Your ability to break an unhealthy habit or turn off an old tape doesn’t depend on how long it has been running; a shift in perspective doesn’t depend on how long you’ve held on to the old view.
When you flip the switch in that attic, it doesn’t matter whether its been dark for ten minutes, ten years or ten decades.
The light still illuminates the room and banishes the murkiness, letting you see the things you couldn’t see before.
Its never too late to take a moment to look.
