Soooo, let's see... I spent Christmas in Marocco. With my mom. Jesus, the last time I had travelled with her was when I was 12, so it was bound to be quite an experience. And, oh my god, it was.
First of all, Casablanca is incredible. When I got there I immediately hated it. Like, ha-ted it. People on the intranets would ask "So, hey, are you enjoying Casa?" and I would simply reply "It's... interesting. I'd never been in a 3rd world country before, you know?". But as I took a walk through the city when night began to fall, something about the place hit me - I was at this smaller, cheesier and definitely rougher Paris. In Africa. In fuckin' Africa. (which reminds me - when I was about to enter the plane to fly to Marocco it hit me and I simply texted my best friend with "Dude... I'm heading to Africa.") So I had no choice but to embrace the place and enjoy it. Marrakech is quite different... it's just too touristic for me. It gets boring after ONE WHOLE HOUR.
There was actually no Christmas what-so-ever. Which was fantastic! I hate the dull family reunions and dinners, giving presents and receiving something just because a stupid date says so. On the 24th I was in my hotel room, in bed, ordering some sandwiches through room services, while working on some stuff on my laptop and watching french cartoons. BEST CHRISTMAS EVER.
On another note, I can't seem to get enough of Bat For Lashes' latest album <3
Oh. And happy new year.

Following you.
Oh, Afrique du Nord! Okay, you want N. Africa color and crazy? Try reading Paul Bowles, especially The Sheltering Sky (note: the Bertolucci movie version was rubbish except for Bowles' cameo), and -- if you're half the nerd I think you are -- Michelle Green's life-is-stranger-than-fiction book, The Dream at the End of the World: Paul Bowles and the Literary Renegades in Tangier. Seriously, Dream is one of the most memorable books I've ever read. Blew. My. Mind. The place was as cosmic vortex for the weird and wonderful, a petri dish for the beats enriched by senior statesman of letters, Bowles, who bridged the lost generation and the Age of Aqarius. There's only one book higher in my pantheon of literary biography.
P.S: In going to Amazon to find URLs for you, I inadvertently ordered eight more books, including the cheapest Green used copies. I'll send you one if you'd like.
P.P.S: December was SO last year.

Nop, é Sathu.
O aspecto já está bastante diferente, e já não tem scroll. Mas continuo com bastantes duvidas em relação ao aspecto geral. Só consigo pensar "podia estar muito melhor"... boring
Obrigado.

Actualizei o meu blog, com uma nova imagem do site. check out.
O lettering não está definido, aliás, nada está. Anyways, o meu maior problema é a paginação, e a quantidade de informação. Se fossem só as medidas era muito mais fácil.

Não sei o que vou usar. Não sei fazer sites, é o primeiro que faço.

O que está a negativo é o que o modelo tem. Mas nas tattoos é dificil de fazer um quadro igual, a não ser que vá por partes do corpo, o que eu não considero a melhor opção.
Na cor do cabelo, vou salientar as cores que o modelo utiliza (como no caso da barbara, que muda frequentemente)
Ainda tenho que organizar os quadros do ABILITIES e ASSIGNEMENTS. Acho interessante pôr o que os modelos estão interessados em trabalhar, como casual, fashion, horror/gore, nudity; e também o que sabem fazer, tal como acting, singing, swiming, rollerskating...por aí.
Isto tudo para te perguntar o que achas, porque é muita informação, mas também não queria por mais que o necessário.
Vou investigar os backends. ![]()

Wow! Sounds like a really interesting way to spend christmas, you should have donned a fedora so you could pretend to be Humphrey Bogart.
