who is maggie?

"bookworms never go to bed alone" is a mixed media art exhibition by new zealand photographer/illustrator kelly thompson. it was launched on july 2 - july 19 by gorker gallery located in melbourne, australia.

'bookworms never go to bed alone' evokes memories of those old schoolyard days, being called names like four eyes, freckle face, surfboard, etc... and the wonderful irony of getting older and growing into that beautiful 'alternative' geeky swan.

MAGGIE by kelly thompson

i was particularly intrigued by this illustration because it truly depicts the message of the entire collection. the eyeglasses clearly portrays nerds, and how they lack social skills (ergo covered face). on the other hand, the breasts/body figure, and the stripping of the shirt, represents the ironic transformation into that "beautiful geeky swan".

what brought back my attention to maggie is that i just discovered the other day who maggie really is. little did i know, maggie is ana cuba, a photographer from barcelona, spain!

the introvert bodybuilder

i enjoyed this short film by danish director mads matthiesen. it really puts into perspective a research paper i wrote, regarding social behavior of introverts.

what i loved about dennis is that it portrays the inherent view of introversion, which isn't the common way this personality is brought about.

hell is almost over

YES! tomorrow is my last day of finals, and i'm just so HAPPY that the semester will be officially over for me. it has been a great semester to say the least.

my finals week survival kit:

haha yeah, that's about it. just me at the school library, with a textbook laying in front of me, sippin on some minute maid apple juice, as vampire weekend's tunes play on my ipod.

i hope the girls in my finance class next semester are as cute as this accountant
