Day 4 in FH Joanneum

today. thurs 24th feb. each day flies by so quick.

its tiring to make friends, but it is necessary. so far im having a good time hangin out wif e latin americans (columbians, mexicans), germans, italians, finnish, canadians etc. but i think the austrians are nice pple. althou a bit cold at first, but get to know them better and i think they can friends in need.

my other fren from smu, angeline, has her boyfren from austria, who iz called florience. and he hangs out wif this guy called renee, and we are supposed to watch a porn movie together. haha. and yes the porn cinema iz right by the train station near my house. but yeah will tell u when it happens.

we visited kausthaus tday. it is a project of `graz 2003 -- cultural capital of europe´ and is also known by the name of ´the friendly alien´. it has really interesting architecture, like eyes all over the building. it has the same concept as our esplanade. like the government spend lots of money building it and it looks very controversial, and outstanding. it houses pieces of art. amongst the artists on display is the works of Michel Majerus, who was born in 1966 in Lexomburg and was killed in a plane crash in 2002. he produced and left behind an extraordinary and exemplary oeuvre of contemporary painting in his short tenyear career.

Michel Majerus primary theme included new images of electronic media and their effects on visual and popular forms of culture, extending to computer games and music. Though his pencil was replaced by the computer, his painting, mainly with brush and paint, remained in focus. an abstract effect and more profound meaning shines thru by his skilful and thought-provoking use of different types of flooring, frames for the pix, and medium used to produce his art as well as the material of canvas used.

itz 8.03pm here and i dun feel hungry. im realli sick of eating the damn chicken in the freezer but it freakin cost me 2.07 € but itz so damn smelly and therez lotsa chicken hair on it. gross. and yeah i still have a chicken drumstick and a thigh left. so er. yes. i still haf to eat it.

oh yes and i didnt go for the party yesterday coz it wuz snowing when i made my way home - and wuz also listening to frank sinatra on my long walk back. (i cant wait to cycle my bike in spring). itz amazingly peaceful and so apt to hear bing crosby, frank sinatra and nat king cole come alive! the song really lifts ur mood and can keep one smiling and tapping away on the frosty stroll home. anyway i juz felt like keepin warm in my bed - and tday i heard the party yesterday wuz realli good - almost everyone got drunk and left the party at 4am. and tt i missed out. but wat the heck. therez another party at marco´s apartment tomorrow and i d be goin for tt one.

cheers, catchya guys tmr!
