Sculptures and Nude Swimming

Ablahblahblah. Feeling a bit weird lately... My S.O. got some bad news about an internship he applied for in America, turns out he didn't get to go :( So he's been in a really bad mood, not in a really explicit way but this kind of undertone "nastiness" thing he does, it's really awful. Like little subtle inflexions and cold-shouldering stuff, and when I ask him a question he answers in this flat monotone. It's f*king annoying, and makes me feel awful! I cry in private everytime he does it! Had a talk to him today asking can you look out for me a bit as am feeling a little down, which worked a little but he's still pretty shitty.
Boy he really can be a bit of an A**hol sometimes - but so wonderful other times! (Gah, MEN.)

Anyway, today was a really unproductive day... tried to do some reading for uni and just couldn't concentrate... hang on, okay I'll make a list of things I actually DID:

- ate and showered
- fed dog, picked up his poo in yard (ew),
- attempted to put drops in N-dog's eye from vet but he goes psycho when I try so I gave up
- walked N-dog with the S.O.
- vacuumed games room

....... OH, and created the MOST AMAZING work of art ever .....

I don't have a camera right now but I'll try and describe it:

I got two strong cardboard boxes, right, and I arranged them to make a "table" which I then covered in material from an old long skirt of mine, as a quasi "table cloth". I then stuck and old rusting wok on the table along with all these old kitchen utensils and stuff, like can-opener, egg beater, egg carton, spoons, cups etc etc but I arranged them all to have a lot of gender-role significance.
So it represented the domestic wife, whose job was to cook, clean and make babies (the egg whisker and cartons) and I used all these fallic symbols, like the can-opener straddling the handle of the wok, and a pointy piece of wood in the shape of chopsticks penetrating the egg carton. There was also an old watch and a feather, to show how the woman's dreams had all slipped away with time (becoming a wife and mother etc) and a plastic cocktail cup with a fancy straw and sunnies to represent her fantasizing about being free in a luxurious location away from all her responsibilites.

I mean, how amazing is all this! It's pitch black in the games room right now (no light in there) so I'll take a picture of my sculpture tomorrow and post it on here. Oh yeh and it's called "TABLE EIGHT"
because the tag on the skirt I used for the table-cloth read exactly that: "table eight", which must be the brand I guess!
Pretty cool huh?

S.O. was like WTF, and the housemate looked at the fallic symbols and went: "you need to get laid", but I thought it was quite artistic!

OH I almost forgot, I fulfilled one of my life ambitions the other night. I can't remember if I even wrote it on here already, but the other night SO's brother stayed over at our place, and at about midnight I said: "Hey guys, lets go swimming at the beach!!!" they were like WTF it's midnight, but I convinced them. We took the dog and went to the dog beach, in the pitch black. Well when we got in the water I went: "OMG LETS SWIM NAKED!!!" And both SO and his brother said "NO. NONONO." - Boring, right?! Well, I wasn't letting them ruin this oppertunity to finally go nude swimming, so I took bathers off and was like "WOO!!! THIS IS SO LIBERATING!!!!" I tried to convince them to swim naked also, but they wouldn't. SO's brother was a bit freaked out by all this.

N-dog, on the other hand, had a great time, and ran up and down the beach and even got in the water to swim, which he hardly ever does because he sometimes panics when it gets deep.

Anyhoo, so how weird am I, I feel quite sad and low, but then I do random shit like nude swimming and sculpture-making out of kitchen utensils. Maybe I'm just insane..... Oh wait, yeh that's already been certified :)

To all you fellow nutters out there xx
