I find it hard to update regularly. Part of it is laziness, part of it is not knowing what to write about, but I think the biggest part is feeling like I don’t have anything interesting to say, or that people won’t be interested in what I have to say. I guess that’s a [...]

 Iris. 26. London. Artist, thinker & time waster. This blog contains everything and nothing. More nothing than something because more often than not I am afraid of sharing or doing. |
After creating Hetty & Dimitri‘s painting I wanted to do art more regularly, but found doing paintings quite intimidating (especially if they’re just ‘for me’, rather than a present). So I decided to get back into my art journal. I neglected art journalling for over a year due to judgements swirling around in my [...] I bought A Short History of Nearly Everything by Bill Bryson about 4 or 5 years ago. It has spent a long time sitting on my bookshelf unread because to tell you the truth I was a bit scared of it. I expected it to be full of confusing dates, names & numbers like [...] I update so infrequently that whenever I do, I first have to upgrade WordPress to the latest version. Happens every time! Here a little update with some major things that happened in my life in 2009. Moving house Up until February 2009 Andrew and I were living together in one room in a [...] Earlier when I was walking to the post-box in my flip flops (not only my flip flops, mind) it struck me that I am actually quite happy. This is quite a huge thing coming from me, ever the depressed pessimist. Life’s thrown some punches at me and I’ve been good at surviving, but [...] Someone kick me and make me update already! I’ve been toying with the idea of updating my blog for about a month but I keep putting it off. So voila, an impromptu update with no topic or meaningful content whatsoever! I just bought a Nintendo DS Lite off ebay, so I’m pretty excited [...] Decision Time. This article published on the BBC News site today is pretty interesting. It is about emotion vs rationality in decision making. Things that especially resonate with me are: As Kahneman and Tversky put it: “In human decision-making, losses loom larger than gains.” Loss aversion is now recognised as an important [...] (I have to type really quietly because Andrew (the husb) is still asleep and gets very grumpy when woken up. Good luck to me, because my massive G15 keyboard is anything but quiet) I have such a love/hate relationship with the internet. On the one hand I love it (I could extol the virtues [...] I finished a little painting the other week which I have yet to take pictures of. It’s a girl on a swing. Coming soon, I promise!! I got some new canvases today! I got four, two are the same size as Girl and a Frog and two of them are slightly bigger. I am [...] I’ve done some more art over the past few weeks. Not been too productive but I have some stuff to show you. I’ll post them as soon as I’ve managed to take some pictures. I got some new art supplies for my birthday so I’ve been playing with those. Fun! I get annoyed with [...] |
