Due to popular demand, here are the pictures of my latest artistic endeavour.
First of all, take some raw materials, and then follow it with a bit of inspiration that even I'd be able to copy (in this case, it's a picture by the artist Lucio Fontana).
See what I mean? Doddle :)
Of course, like all proper artistes, I had to add my signature. Just in case I'm ever famous, you understand.
As the finishing touch - find a cute model:
I really enjoyed the party, it was great to see some of my friends again, although there were also a lot of people there I didn't know. Some people had really gone to town with the "come as a work of art" theme - including 13 people (complete with table) who came as Da Vinci's "The Last Supper". It really was very impressive to see the effort some people had gone to. Though at one point earlier in the day I wasn't sure if we were going to make it - HD and I spent the afternoon in A&E to get him checked out, as someone had driven into the back of his car the day before (he's OK but a bit shaken) - I did think at one point we were going to die of old age before we were seen. After eventually being seen (after a 3 hour wait, which I suppose could have been worse but wasn't the greatest way to spend a Saturday afternoon) we got the train to London and on to the party, I was very impressed that HD still said he'd go as after a car smash and an afternoon in A&E I don't think I'd really want to go to a party full of strangers wearing silly costumes. Anyway - it really was good to see my friends again, it's been a few months since I saw them and I do miss them a lot. We also spent Friday night/Saturday morning and Sunday lunch at HD's parents' place, so that was good for me to get to know them a bit better (they're not too scary, thankfully).
Now I'm back home I'm trying not to think about PhD supervision tomorrow. I've already put it off a week, and I don't know how I'm going to blag it. Then on Tuesday I've got my least favourite tutorial of the year (hooray! it's the role-play exercise). So I'll be feeling a bit sick till Tuesday evening.
