Neverwhere

I should be doing my microecon homework (so that I don't fail this class for a second time) but I've begun listening to the new BBC radio version of Neverwhere by Neil Gaiman. Oh the joys of listening to such a good story. I wish I had it to read along with the audio. Never been much good at taking in anything just through audio.
I have an obsession with Benedict Cumberbatch and he is (soon) to be in one of the episodes as the angel Islington. I've never read this story before but it's really crazy but very good. But I guess that's just Neil Gaiman for you.
You may be wondering just how obsessed I am with Mr. Cumberbatch. Let me answer that by presenting you with a link to my tumblr.

It is 100% dedicated to Benedict Cumberbatch. Creepy? Yes, i'd agree. That's why I'm now decided that I can never meet him in person because I'd be that creepy fan girl who has seen basically every single picture ever taken of him. I made a clay statue of his face for goodness sake. To be fair, it was for an art class and we had to pick a face that we were familiar with and I've been looking at pictures of his face practically everyday for two years, so it seemed like the natural choice.

I wasn't kidding. That's my sculpture.
 These are a few of the pictures that I used for reference.



Taking an art class is a new thing for me. My sister and my dad are very skilled artists but I've never been the least bit artistically inclined. It's been an interesting experience.
The very first assignment was to recreate a piece of famous artwork. We had to use cardboard and we had to make it a relief sculpture. I chose The Card Players by Cezzane. It was very fun and I think it turned out pretty well. My teacher actually put it on display for a little while.

I've managed to put off homework this long. Even skipped going to Pilates. Oh well. Time to hit the books.




Catch ya later
