Look at this picture I found somewhere on the web. See any similarities, guys? :D And LOOK AT ULQUIORRA doing his moody pouty thing! He's definitely cool. I won't ever forgive Ichigo if he kills him. Help me tell that to Ichigo, Mich!

Mich and Max, I'm holding the two of you fully responsible for causing me to have become MADLY addicted to Bleach! I'm totally hooked. Well, partly it's because I look forward to seeing Urahara, who isn't in every episode. So it's like a treat when he pops up! He's the coolest guy ever. Even though I don't really know much about him. He just is. But the whole show is so very nice to watch really.

URAHARA! He looks so good here. But his usual attire is hat and sandals. He's eccentric cool. Or in Max's terms, shaggy dirty. Max is telling me to watch D.Gray Man as well. I might switch if it has less episodes than Bleach. 166 and still counting is no joke.

And we got our PW results back. The whole class got A! Yay! It's amazing. Thank you SO much to all my group members. You guys made the best team ever! It was tons of fun working with you all and I wouldn't have traded it for...many things. Haha! But seriously, I don't think any other combination would have been quite as good AND special despite all that we went through. The entire process was fun, then tense, then slack, then fun again in the end. Full circle :) I'm glad we did what we did and everyone really did a fantastic job. Before anyone throws up from reading all this mushiness I'd better stop. And go to bed. Goodnight all!

I just realised I sounded like some creepy voiceover guy in the last post. 'Cai Guo-Qiang-I Want to Believe-NOW ON AT GUGGENHEIM!' Sigh. Anyway here are the pics of his installation with tigers pierced with arrows. Too cool!

So today Rab and Mich decided they wanted to scare me because I was in the art room alone. But because Rab kind of gives herself away in about 5 seconds so it didn't really traumatise me too much. Then they went to the toilet and I was all 'yay now's my chance!' so I parked myself outside. And waited. And waited. And waited. Suspicious students passed. Suspicious cleaners passed. And I started feeling a teeny weeny bit stupid so I blew my own cover in the end. That was a pretty odd story now that I look at it. Hmm.

Those are wolves. Crashing head on into a glass panel! That was not meant to sound sadistic, dear readers. It's just that it's so exciting! Check out the WHOLE installation. I like! A LOT!

HEAD ON is the title of this totally amazing installation art piece by Cai Guo-Qiang, a China-born, New York based artist who is the epitome of AWESOME.

''In this tableau, a pack of 99 life-sized wolves gallops at full force toward a transparent glass wall, leaping through the air in a unified arc, only to collide head on into the unyielding barrier. The wall—first realized to the exact height and thickness of the Berlin Wall—represents society's tendency to search only for the obvious, missing instead what may not be immediately evident but ultimately more dangerous. In Cai's artistic iconography, wolves possess a ferocity and courageousness similar to tigers and achieve heroism through their collective unity. In this installation, however, their cohesiveness leads to their ultimate downfall. Here, through the emblematic imagery of wolves, Cai intends to address the human fallibility of following any collective ideology too blindly and humankind's fate to repeat mistakes unthinkingly.'' -Michelle Yun (an excerpt from Guggenheim Museum's website)

His other works are equally stunning both in visual and conceptual terms. Get this-a tiger pierced with numerous arrows, cars with multichannel light tubes sticking out of them suspended from the ceiling, and gunpowder drawings...all part of his exhibition, called I WANT TO BELIEVE-now on at the Guggenheim Museum. IN NEW YORK. We were there last year! The Richard Prince Spiritual America exhibition was going on at that time though. It was good too but this I'd kill to see with my own two eyes. This guy is too cool.
