so friday i felt pretty crappy, but luckily gordon let me sleep on the bus for part of the field trip.
after school i went over to blue door and started to feel feverish and ended up staying on their couch from about 5pm - 2pm the next day under 2 blankets with a really high fever, so unfortunately i missed the first night of the music festival in town. Saturday afternoon I went home and took a shower and then cleaned my room. We went out and ended up at the New Hotel with tons of musicians playing together and Chris didn't charge me for one of my guinnesses and after his shift was over he bought me a free shot of apple & jack daniels - "apple jack." cute. in the morning Harris and I went to the Tea Junction for breakfast and ran into Chris and Thane and sat with them. Harris left to go bike to Kinvara with Drew to get money for the immigration officer and I walked to the Emo (petrol station) with Thane and Chris and got my usual ice pop and then walked home and covered myself in red paint and went out into the fairy forest by myself to shoot photos.
An owl was keeping me company and I kept thinking of grandma's stories about owls signaling a coming death. I'm still awaiting some sort of news. (Although mom did end up telling me about the death of Polaroid heh).
I felt very sick and my knee hurt very bad so I stayed in bed all night, but I got to talk to Brian for a few hours so that was really nice. I couldn't sleep at all because of my knee, I got maybe an hour total all night long so needless to say in the morning I was very unhappy and oh, forgot to mention Olga had gone to the hospital Saturday night for her stomach pains/problems so it turned out Robert was driving her to the pharmacy in Kinvara so I stayed home with her till he came back and picked us up and spent far too much money (but well spent) at the pharmacy. Got a knee brace that actually helps and various medications for different ills and picked up some groceries before going to school. The day was okay. I got a bit of work done and after regular hours there was an opening in the gallery. I guess I like it better than the last opening because there's no horrid sounds that play over and over all day that drive me crazy in my studio. I think about half of the paintings were made by mentally disabled people, if I understood the lecture correctly. Afterwards I made dinner and walked to blue door and let drew borrow my telephoto lens and then we walked to town because we thought Franz was going to sing, but no luck finding him so we went back and practiced learning some dutch on drew's computer heh. Then Harris and I went back to my house and we were going to watch Amber's Harry Potter movie but she only has the third one and Harris hasn't seen the second one yet so we watched the Return of the King instead. My medication made me sleepy though and I fell asleep or at least half asleep before it was halfway over. He woke me up when it was over and he went home and I went to sleep and listened to my iPod for a bit before drifting off to sleep.
This morning I'm in a really weird/good/strange mood. It's really pleasant out, and Martina liked my progress with my photos and gave me a good critique that was actually helpful.

...grandma wanted me to tell you...an owl coming to the "window" signals a death- basicly if they are where they shouldn't be. Just pull the curtains!
i thought it was if they were hooting during the daytime... okay well then that's better.
always good to hear that your crits go well.
I really would like to see more pics of the fairy forest. Looks and sounds like a very special place. Has mom told you the story about the owl in her uncle's barn in New Hampshire. She even has sound effects to go with it.
