Time to advertise my photo-blog and here you can see what parts of my art look like;-)
Quote-corner:
“I love abstract art because when it is good, it can put the viewer in touch with who they are beyond their culture, psychology, history or personality.”
David Jones
“Are we to paint what's on the face, what's inside the face, or what's behind it?”
Pablo Picasso
"A man should hear a little music, read a little poetry, and see a fine picture every day of his life, in order that worldly cares may not obliterate the sense of the beautiful which God has implanted in the human soul.”
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Walt Disney´s flower
Funny anecdote in between- 
2 very young second language learners tried to remember the English name for a special flower- a daisy. They have always combined that vocabulary with a comic figure- Daisy Duck. Seeing the picture of a daisy they called out, "That´s a duck!"
Laughter.
After recognizing their mistake they discussed a bit and finally found their solution.
"We know the word!" one of the kids said very proud.
"It´s Donald!"

Ash-books
Books, books, books! Just a look into my library;-) that´s why I don´t have a guestroom anylonger-
just kidding, again!
It´s a bookstore in Salem; impressive, isn´t it?
I don´t need so many books at the moment; I´m very modest- I just need 3 new ones. Not a big deal you might think.
Wrong.
You have no idea how Iceland´s volcano has effect on the whole transportation system! Today I found out that I´ll get my books at the end of June!! They aren´t in stock nearly in whole Europe.
I just hope that I don´t have to read too much before the course´ll start. Normally I can pick up my books within a few days,´cause Amazon delivers quicker than all the bookstores around. Never mind.
Perhaps some kind pilots´ll fly faster than allowed, so I´ll get my books sooner:-) Ok, I don´t want to bring them into troubles, I promise to be patient and watch the sky- for planes and ash-clouds;-) And honestly, what else could I do?
Did I mention that I miss NYC´s bookstores? Strand´s, Barnes and Noble,....Alas! Hope I´ll be back this summer! The Lincoln Center Festival will take place

and Shakespeare in the Park would be interesting.

But too far away- like my books;-) ...and hopefully a new ash-cloud!

Success!
Finally I found a solution for my "writing-problem" today. I mean the one with the 2 tenses.
Writing in 1 or in 2 tenses, that was the question.
I decided to write just in the past tense form -it was the easiest way to avoid disappointment.
Well, and I´m a rational person- often. Risking something will make sense if you are sure to do the right thing. Without this inner confidence it´s not clever to try something -especially when you know that your writing will be graded.
Solution found, risk avoided, thrill deleted:-( Too bad!
Have to find another kick, maybe I should change something in my other draft - the tenses, the main characters, the whole plot,...just kidding;-) what else? But maybe.... you´ll see after my first revision- just ask me in 30 years or so:-) lol
Today seems to be my funny one maybe because I´m so happy that I finished 2 assignments out of 6 (for the last and the next block- my personal deadline is no later than the end of June, so I´ll have one week of before starting the 4. block. Hope , I´ll be ready sooner. This week I´ll finish the next 2 pieces. Quickly? No. I´ve just written a lot on different pieces this month....
and finally success!
