Dude, after this one, I came to the same conclusion that my Grandma came into, 10 years ago: They really don’t know what to invent anymore:
So yeah, they used flies to get the message spread. Funny though. A bit cruel, let’s agree on that, but really innovative. I was divided between admiration and revolt, but I read that the little advertisement paper is “glued” with some kind of wax that falls off after a couple of hours. So I’m sticking with the admiration, I guess… (Am I?) Because it must have been really funny to discover!
I don’t know about your Country, but in mine, when you buy some milk in a supermarket, there’s no information at all confirming that it actually came from a cow. There’s a cow drawn on the bottle, maybe several, but no actual clear text description. If you get yourself goat milk, on the other hand, (there are weird people in the world) it’s there, written on the box: GOAT.
So yeah… think about it…
Gosh, they also make goat milk in powder, FOR BABIES!! Weird, weird people...
I don’t know why it gives me so much pleasure to find these Disney Princesses ironic stories… Donnow, they always make me laugh.
I found this comic stripe on Desinpensavel, a blog in Portugese and English for some posts, that I’ve been recently reading.
For those who forgot, there was another post about Disney Princesses’ sad ends here.
Eu não sei porque, mas sempre achei um barato, essas derisões em torno das historias das princesas da Disney. Essa tirinha, eu achei no blog Desinpensavel, que descobri recentemente. Pra quem esqueceu, tinha outro post engraçadinho sobre o destino dessas princesas aqui.
the battle is won. I found the best job opportunity I could imagine. Although it might be crazy to say this so soon, I’m really optimistic about this. I’m going to work with a really nice architect that does cool public project all by herself. We got along very well from the beginning and I’m happy, happy, happy!!!
Lot of work, lot to learn. I’m off to it now.
Meus caros pequenos leitores,
Eu venci a batalha. Depois de semanas correndo como barata tonta de agencia en agencia, eu finalmente achei a vaga mais legal do mundo Claro que é cedo pra dizer uma coisa dessas, mas se depender do meu otimismo, tudo vai correr da melhor maneira possivel. Vou trabalhar com uma jovem arquiteta com quem me dei bem logo de cara, e que desenvolve projetos publicos bacanas sozinha. Well, agora em dupla!!
Bom, muito trabalho, muito o que aprender… Estou feliz!!
(chatos de plantão, não tem acentos nesse teclado. Give a break)
Mes chers petits lecteurs.
J’ai vaincu la bataille! Je viens de trouver le meilleur poste que j’eusse pu imaginer! Ok, même si c’est tôt pour le dire, je suis tellement optimiste que tout me semble trop beau pour être vrai. Je vais travailler avec une jeune archi avec qui je me suis super bien entendue depuis e début, et qui fait de chouettes projets publics. Elle travaillait seule dans une grande agence qu’elle a montée il y a quelques années, et on sera deux maintenant. Cool, cool, cool!
Beaucoup de travail, beaucoup à apprendre. I’m off!
Meine lieben Leser
Ich habe die Schlacht besiegt! Gestern habe ich den job meiner Träume schliesslich gefunden! Ok, vielleicht ist es zu früh zu sagen, aber ich bin wirklich optimistisch! Ich werde mit ein junges Architekt bearbeiten! Sie ist super toll und macht gute grosse Projekte alleine. Jetzt werden wir zwei Leute in seine Büro sein
Ich bin so froh!! Tschüss, meine Lieben, ich habe viel Arbeit, und viel zu lernen!
I saw a really nice video while I was on my daily visit on Sylvain Allard’s (really cool and interesting) blog, and I decided to share it here too.
Well, it’s a Canadian video, and I’m not Canadian nor live in Canada like him, but I guess we have the same problems in France, only with different statistics.
There’s the video. It’s has a nice stop-motion work too!
Well, since I’m in Brazil at the moment, it’s really easier to keep buying local. I guess it’s easier in an almost self-sufficient Country. For those who aren’t (like Canada, apparently), the designer James Reynolds suggests a really fun eco-conscient packaging, that I also found on S. Allard’s blog. There you go:
Yesterday, I was on the beach with a friend from France that also came to spend some time in Rio. We were resting on the sand all afternoon, and after a while I got a bit hungry and remembered I had some apples on my bag. He looked at me in a really shocked way, asking why on earth do I eat apples in Brazil!?
Humn…well… Brazil also produces (shitty quality) apples, and you’ll all agree with me, that it’s way easier to carry than a pinapple on the beach!!
PS: I sooo should have had a camera around to take a pic of Matthieu’s look on a Rio’s beach… But since I don’t, just imagine a skinny really pink-white dude with a candy-pink short with macarronis drawn on it…( Hehehe je pouvais pas résister, mec…)
Two years ago, about that same time of the year, i went to Venice. It was a really cool trip, something I’d never have the chance to do if it wasn’t for really cool friends that allowed me to know the real Venice, away from all the touristic crap. We were all architecture students, so the visits were really the way I liked them. Not to mention the Biennale was on too. Terriffic.
And today I found this pictures, of Simone Decker’s work that are absolutely amazing! First, because the work is impressive and it makes me want to come accross one of the sculptures so badly… And second, because I can remember very well the places where they are installed!! Not because I have a super cool memory (because I had serious problems with finding my way in Venice) but because I have private pics of the same places
So I’ll leave you to it, tell me if you like:
The second pic really makes me wonder if thay’re real of photoshopped… Does anyone have some kind of knowledge on the matter?
You know the feeling to discover something that apparently everyone knew about but you? Well, I kinda hate it. All of the sudden, it makes me feel quite “out”.
Of course that happens only if the think in question is really cool, because if it’s trash, I can feel quite proud not to know it, actually. (“What, a new Mc Donald’s sandwich? Nop… never heard of it.”, “The last Britney hit? Britney who?”)
But yeah, my friends told me about this Space Invading website, that presents all king of architecture projects almost as soon as they are ready.
It’s almost like ArchDAily, but in a less selective way. They present everything they discover, period. Interesting though. And sometimes, just like here in the blog, they switch from architecture to Design of plastic Arts, and the results are quite pleasing.
Here I chose a project from the libanese artist Ginou Choueiri that paints potatoe heads, literally.
About his work: “I chose the potato to portray human faces because of the many striking parallels. Not only is their skin porous like ours, but their skin texture and color is very similar, and like us, they come in different sizes, shapes and forms. Potatoes grow, live, and then decay, mirroring the ephemeral existence and fragility of our own human nature”.” Potato heads grow, sprout, age, then decay… but they refuse to go without a trace.“
So yeah, it’s been a while. I haven’t got so much time to breathe lately, so blogging was so not on my priorities…
As you’re getting tired to know already, I’m finishing my architecture diploma in… 21 days! Good news are I’m not thaaaat desperate anymore After all, I used to think I was condemned fo fail this year.
No, now I grew some hope (and some balls to actually work the respectable amont of time someone in my situation should) and I can see the light at the end of the tunnel. I’ll keep you up when I’m done, ok?
Donc, oui, je sais, ça fait longtemps. J’ai à peine le temps de respirer, ces temps-ci, donc vous comprendrez que le blog s’éccarte facilement de mes priorités. Comme vous êtes maintenant fatigués de le savoir, je suis en plein diplome d’archi. En plein, parce que je le présente en… 21 jours! J’ai eu une fase hyper-méga super desespérée, mais maintenant j’arrive à voir la lumière au bout du tunnel. Je reprend par ici dès que j’ai fini, Ok?
Então, galerinha… faz tempo que eu não dou as caras, eu sei… Não tô nem tendo tempo de respirar ultimamente, quem dirá de postar coisas aqui no blog… Como vocês devem estar cansados de saber, estou terminando meu diploma de arquitetura. Terminando mesmo: apresento em 21 dias contados. Medaço. Mas o lado bom é que o medo, que agora é só medo, antes era desespero total de não passar nem a pau. Agora já tá dando pra ver a luz no fim do túnel. Vou atualisar vocês direitinho quando tudo terminar, vale?
Ja, so… ich hab’ nichts mehr seit 2 Wochen nicht geschriben. Hahaha! Na, und? Ich schreibe fast nie auf Deutch, so… egal, oder?
Claro que é cedo pra dizer uma coisa dessas, mas se depender do meu otimismo, tudo vai correr da melhor maneira possivel. Vou trabalhar com uma jovem arquiteta com quem me dei bem logo de cara, e que desenvolve projetos publicos bacanas sozinha. Well, agora em dupla!!
