Notes from a bemused canuck
We went to the 99th edition of the Comptoir Suisse, in Lausanne. We saw the wine producers, the food hall, the farm animals, the Japanese exhibit, and then we left because we ran out of spending money and the child threw an outstanding tantrum. We tried to sell him to gypsies, but there were no buyers. These pictures are a lie. They show us actually having fun.
Born and brought up in Staffordshire, Goodhead displayed much promise and raw talent towards the subject of art in its various forms from an early age, and therefore it shocked no-one to learn that Goodhead wanted to heighten and further her interest and skillset within a higher educational surround. She secured herself a weekend job doing commission work to her fund her way through Uni and her immediate life on successful completion of her course.
Hayley’s witty and distinctive animal images are inspired by all things contemporary – well known brands, the colours and patterns of the fashion world, the modern love of the visual joke – and she brings these elements together in her uniquely appealing realist style and vibrant palette.
I’ve been on a course for the last week. Hours are brutal, 8:30am to 7pm. Been taking lots of notes on disk, in jupiter notebook files. This is something that I don’t want to lose. The course has a git repo, which I’ve forked on github. This is what happened today:
– pull class repo to get latest files.
– try to push to my github repo. Sadly, this fails, as one of the data files is 102MB and is bigger than github’s file size limit.
– try and git rm the file from my source tree
– try to push to github, that’s a fail.
– look on StackOverflow for magic git incantation to remove file from git history. This is not something that you normally want to do.
– run magic incantation
– REVERT FUCKING GIT HISTORY TO A POINT WHERE THE COURSE STARTED, THUS LOSING 4 DAYS OF WORK AND NOTES!!!!!
– Quickly run through 5 stages of grief.
– Realize that Jupiter notebook is smart/stupid at the same time, and that the versions I have in memory are different than the ones on disk.
– Preciously save MULTIPLE COPIES/EXPORTS of all the important files.
– Unclench
The cat scarf. The picture might not show it well, but my neck is fully propping up Pavel. He seems quite content with the situation. He also has a warm butt.
Roquefort, vacherin, brie, cheddar, marinated feta, olives and mushrooms, cheese stuffed peppers, pepperoncini, pickled onions, artichoke hearts, pâté, pastrami, lard, peppered salami, crusty bread, darvida, bruschetta mix.
Not bad for a first attempt.
I went to the bedroom to get my phone. Pavel, sleeping in my jeans, looked at me with a look of disapproval.
