Soccer

This is going to be short but i dont care. Last Saturday i played soccer. (yes i really did actually play, not watch) The field was muddy, the sun beating down upon us and it was as humid as ever. By us i mean around 10 boys and me. Woo Hoo....so i did my best and actually blocked the goal! With my face mind you, i wasnt paying attention and someone kicked it right in to my face by accident. It knocked me flat on my butt. I got up and kinda felt like roosify the cat when his face gets smashed in the mouse hole but all was well (no i did not cry, i know you think i did) After, we (i watched this) did a number of boyish things i.e. throw rocks a bypassing cars, put nails point up in the road, cat-call (i did NOT do this i promise you), pee wherever you may(i did NOT watch or do this either), and all that in between. So, don't misunderstand me the day had its highlights.

Hey at least now i know kinda what it feels like to be punched in the face, it kinda oddly felt refreshing...

I am an IDIOT!!!

Shame upon me for this! For not checking The Twilight Lexicon and not staying updated on news! The long Twilight trailer is here!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!AHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!! I may have already seen it in theatres but then again i may have forgotten because all i remember is going to see The Dark Knight (which is amazing bye the way) and waiting for it to start and then all the sudden i see "when you live forever, what do you live for?" on the screen and immediatly start full blown screaming. Well, to be quite honest it was really squealing, screeching, hyperventilating, and all that good stuff. Sage and Flan had to restrain me and try to sush me as people in the movie theatre annoyed and worried at me due to my having some sort of fit but anyways...HERE IT IS!!!! ENJOY!!!!!

Super Babies

So at my new school they speak only spanish and when they do speak english in english class it usually comes out something like this, "The lady want to f*** her dog" and "There is a f***ing beside the horses" whatever that means....but my favorite is when they talk about irresponsible sexual activites in the ENGLISH class and say, "If you have irresposible sex then you will have Super Babies" and when they were dicussing the things that were going on in a picture of a blind lady walking a German Shepard they were saying things like, "The lady wants to f*** her dog and then they will have SUPER DOG BABIES!" "But, then the dog dosnt like the lady because she is the ugliest human he has ever seen." "The dog tries to escape because he is desperate and he sees a beautiful girl that he wants to f***" I just sat emmbarrassed and slightly amused at there immproper english. Sat there as they said these things aloud to the teacher and eachother (the teacher was laughing too), howling with laughter. I wont go into what they said about other pictures because believe it or not they were worse. Except for one thing, the way they say Super Babies will forever be laminated in my mind. Try saying this alloud, "Soopur Biebies" try it a few times. I just cant seem to get it out of my head.

On to another subject, I would really like to go home for the winter because of several matters. If anyone has a few hundred dollars they could graciously spare for my plane ticket that would be fantastic....

Alfons Mucha Art

Mucha: Art Nouveau

Well, Caroline asked for more Mucha and I was going to make this post anyways but it was too late last night.
Alfons Mucha (male Caroline) was born in Ivančice, Moravia on the 24th of July 1860. Ivancice, Moravia was a region in today's Czech Republic. Mucha started out painting theatrical sets while studying art. When a fire destroyed his employer's buissness in 1881 he returned to Moravia to do freelance decorative and portrait painting.
Count Karl Khuen of Mikulov hired him to decorate Hrušovany Emmahof Castle with murals and was very much impressed that he agreed to sponser his education at Munich Academy of Fine Arts. Mucha moved to Paris in 1887, and continued his studies at Académie Julian and Académie Colarossi while also making advertisments and illustrations for a magazine. One day he just so happened to be in print shop when there was a sudden demand for a poster to advertise a play that Sarah Bernhardt was in. Bernhardt was a highly famous french actress and considered "the most famous actress in the world" by whom I havent any idea....
The play was at the Theatre de la Renaissance. Mucha volunteered to produce a lithographed poster within two weeks, and on January 1st, 1865, the advertisment for Gismonda appeared on the streets. Bernhardt was so impressed with the posters that she made a 6 year contract with Mucha. He produced many paintings and designs for jewlery, carpets, theatrical sets and wallpaper. People called his art Mucha Style but it became known as Art Nouveau.
He typically painted portraits of women usually in Neoclassical looking robes and with haloes above there heads. I made a slide show of only some of his art.
