Today the Giants performance started. I couldn't see everything because I had an appointment but anyways I could take some photos of the girl coming along the street. What an event! She's so wonderful... On Saturday the boy and the girl will meet at the "Brandenburger Tor". I'm 100%ly going to watch that.
finally I feel able to work again at home. This week will be wonderful. I have my table(s), I have my pencils and I have a lot of things I want to finish. Weee!!! 3 tables and finally I can use my drawing table again :D So happy. Hope I can post some sketches at the week-end.
Thursday.... London. Leo and me went to London for the MCA09. After searching for bloody three days for a proper outfit (dresscode black tie =_=; ), it was kinda odd to wake up int the middle of the night, sitting in traffic jam and having 1 hour delay. Last time I was in London... ages ago. I just wish we had more time.
hello sky...
Finally in Heathrow... Leo stomping along.
I hate those... everytime I think: "What if you stumble? That's gonna be a long way down."
Leicester Street... so crowded. 3 Minutes walk to the National Gallery and the Hotel. 1 hour left till receiption. Gahhh!!!
Location: Strand Hotel. I think we were the youngest... Leo was for sure. Most people were around 40-50. I think I don't have to tell anybody how boring an offical gala can be, anyways we had some interesting people on our table. Or at least those less drunk. :P
in the morning Leo and I were sleepy but we decided to walk around a bit longer. My feet... boots+ long walk = bad idea.
... and those are just a PART of the whole thing o_o Gahhh! I started packing up two weeks ago -celebrating it with a take-what-you-like-don't-need-those-party. But man, I never thought that again it would be *that* much. I have two days left to pack up everything. And I know... those two days will be loooonnnggg days.
Ty and me went to Ikea on Saturday and bought the things we still needed. Before I dragged him two times there ("Why do I have to go there twice?!!" "Because you want to have a new sofa as well....") so this time was speed shopping. I won't say how much we spend in three hours but just the price of the new carpet for my workroom made me cry (400 bucks for a bloody carpet -unbelievable... and that one was cheap since 25% off! Arg!!!!). ;______; I had a bad hiccup for nearly an hour and lifting 30 kg cupboards while being exhausted from hiccuping all the time wasn't really cool. >_<
Anyways.... I'll be in London next week with Leo and I'm really looking forward to being there. It's just for 1 day and for work but anyway, I have't been there for ages and I hope it will be a trip without any weird accidents. Next day, next city: Magdeburg. Totally fits together :D
Today I started packing up my books since it's gonna be time to move soon (O__o; ). It looks even messier than before. I really wanna sort by series next time but I guess Ty won't want all my comics in the living room XD ... ok, those are a lot. Not as many as some years ago but still a lot. Last time I was in Hamburg together with Sonja we started talking about the "good old times" and found out we both might be in the same Magic Knight Rayearth comic. Like... 10 years ago Carlsen and Co. still printed fanart they got IN the manga (I don´t know if only in the first edition).So today I crawled through my books and really. We ARE in the same book and even on the same page. Left top is Sonja's art... bottom right is mine. As you can see the comic was printed 10 (!) years ago. We both were around 16 and lived in different cities (not to mention we didn't know each other). Now, ten years later we work in the same office on the same projects. Now how scary is that O____o
"You always see a person twice in your life" is a sentence often said in Germany when those things happen.
