No matter what language you speak, you've probably come across words or phrases in another language that sound better than their equivalents in your native tongue. What's your favorite word or phrase in a foreign language?

Going up to a sort of ex and yelling 'hijo de la puta madre' or something of that sort, then taking to the time to disucss the literal translation; 'son of a whore mother' was a drunken mistake but rather fun all the same

I am definitely going to get trenchfoot, or gout. Or something.
Tom from London informed me that Saturday was only the second day since reading week when there hadn't been any rain... Sunday and today pretty much made up for it. I've got through ever pair of trousers just from going to get my laundry or popping next door. Urghgh
Anyway, we've got a drawing workshop this week, pinning up on Friday (the last day of term - a little harsh in my opinion)
I have just sorted out going back for a cafe grande night out, bit stressful on my phone credit.
Meanwhile, check out http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oCRxcf4YNjg what me and my flatmates do for fun.

This post is mainly to illustrate what it's like to live with people who consider themselves "arty"
My flatemates have made it a sort of mission to steal as many chairs as possible this year...
We now have 22 chairs between the 4 of us but instead of sitting on them we now have an enormous chair sculpture in the middle of the living room (below)

And above, there is also a picture taken out of my window. I'm hoping the paint will get all weathered from the constant rain although it seems to be holding out so far..
..We have room and flat inspections tomorrow *woe* I have to unpin everything from my wall

Reading week - class!!
Even got some reading done.
John and Mic from Hexham were up for what seemed like months, actually only 4 days. They informed me I was going to die young, and probably be very miserable with what time I had left if I kept up the level of work I was doing. So after a couple of late nights in the studio I moseyed on down to Langley and Fourstones for a break from the hectic uni way of drinking, staying up late and watching Family Guy.
Didn't reeaally go to plan, but what the hey I had a great time.
Have got a few projects due in next week, am sort of getting there, but the bastards that run the studios are shutting them for the Monday bank holiday tomorrow!! I really could have done with a solid 13 or 14 hours in the studio to get stuff done. It may sound like I'm trying to point out how many friggin hours I put into my course. I am. And I'm not sorry. But it's true so there you go. 
Have got an hour before my bus back tae Glasgae so I'd better get my stuff packed.
Also must buy Newbie's birthday present, I think I know what he's getting but I'm not sure...

What is it with all these Edinburgh + Rain posts? If it's not raining in Glasgow, the possibility of rain elsewhere is extremely low as it probably means time has stopped, or the world has ended.
Am probably coming back through to the Burgh today, cos I sick of Glasgow. Having said that, about 8 people from halls are going too. Am also undecided. Night in or night out?? I need to do some work, collages, drawings, it's a hard life.

In other news. My hands are utterly covered in bright green spraypaint due to Newbie's newfound penchant for graffiti art. (Don't worry, we didn't deface any monuments or nice buildings- we're architects for goodnessake)
Speaking of architecture.... 

...actually let's not.

Well....its not going bad, but this past week I've not being staying late because we don't have any definite deadlines at the moment, so I've been going home at 5 or 6 o'clock. And already that feels like having a half day. Friday was immense. Started at 10 o'clock, lecture got cancelled so we were done by 1pm!! The feeling was like being on a cocktail of drugs whilst bungeejumping or similar. Wow.

Have got to go and eat some apple strudel (serves 12 for £1.50!! You can't go wrong with Sainsburys)

Briefing: "Consider day lighting, scale proportion, views, access, circulation, materials, colour and texture. You do not need to concern yourself with structure or construction."

I love art school.

Also, the last point before we started making our models was put forward by Tony, the head of 1st year:
"And yes we are aware of disability access laws. And we have chosen to ignore them."

This is just going to turn into an architecture journal, we walked across the whole of Glasgow yesterday. It took pretty much all day cos all 5 of us kept seeing things we had to photograph.
Newbie took me to a gig last night. It was....shit. Shame, becasue his best friend's band was playing, but I'm not going to lie. I am not a fan of screamo bands as it turns out.

Um otherwise, we all seem to be getting the hang of cooking for eachother. Someone stol the last of my Coco Pops this morning. WHich is fine except that he doesnt even live in our flat, and his own kitchen is a mere 30 seconds away.

Am looking forward to another fortnight of crazed work  after a weekend "off".
