Inimesed armastavad ikka õhates rääkida, kuidas luiged valivad kogu eluks ühe kaaslase.

Sedasama teevad aga ka üldse mitte nii romantilise kuulsusega hakid ja varesed

ning pulmalennud tehakse igal kevadel sama partneriga.

Üksik künnivares või hakk ei ole õnnelik,

seega on tal üsna tõenäoliselt alati kusagil nurga taga

luusimas sõber või terve suguvõsa.

Vareslaste hulgas kehtib musketäride reegel: üks kõigi ja kõik ühe eest.

Omasid hoitakse ja potentsiaalsele ohule astutakse vastu ikka hulgakesi.

This is really simple way to make your own snaps.

All you need is vodka, sugar and berry's.

All sorts are good, the more the merrier.

I used blueberry's and black currant for now,

but will add more later. Storage in dark, I use my wardrobe.

After 2 weeks you can start to enjoy.

Now and then add vodka, sugar and more berry's.

Freelance success, my comments

2010-08-15T05:03:00.000-07:00

I have to say am very optimistic about life, some say it's because am young.

I have noticed that all you need to do is;

dream big, do your best and life gives you what you need.

My big plan

In 1 year my own atelier

- some months ago I had this as my 10 year plan,

but working at home is not for me.

In 5 years become tutor / teacher

- I had change to do it in Germany some years ago and it was great!

Learn something new

Photoshop

- Just started to learn it, because am quite hopeless when it comes to computers.

Wonderful Grete 'Stich' Laus and Ott Evestus,

who also made my homepage, are walking me thru it.

School

- I didn't believe I had change to do it so soon, but am extremely happy I can.

Can't wait to start. Im sure it will be very inspiring.

Good luck all to you and keep doing what you love.

Freelance success

2010-08-07T05:09:00.000-07:00

This month Computer Arts had 89 tips to solo success. Here my favorites:

Starting out

1. Be optimistic

It's very easy to be put off by detractors or people whose work you think is better than yours.

Don't let that dissuade you. If you're sure you have the ability

and you've weighed up the pros and cons, just do it!

2. Plan your career

Don't just 'go freelance'. Ask yourself why you want to be self-employed.

Set yourself some goals. Think about where you'd like to be in a year,

in two or five years, and work towards it.

It will help to prevent you from drifting into dead ends.

3. Dear to be different

There are plenty of self-employed designers around, so why should a client choose you?

You should have skills and a creative vision unique to you.

4. Free your mind

The more you know, the better off you'll be. Learn a little about disciplines other than yours:

if you're designer, learn code, or find out about Flash if you're usually an illustrator.

It will help you to collaborate better, and will free up your imagination.

5. Let friends help

Hopefully in your working life you've managed to cultivate some professional friends.

They can help you find work; sometimes they even become clients or contractors.

At other times, you can offer to collaborate on projects, using complementary skills.

Self-promotion

1. Think long game

Have patience with self-promotion. You might not get your return next week,

but you'll be investing time in forging relationships.

A student you meet today might be a client in five years'time.

2. Have a website

Domain names are cheap, while there are plenty of good hosting solutions available in the UK.

You can learn HTML/CSS yourself, or do a quid pro quo skills exchange

with a friend who already had the skills. Otherwise, consider WordPress.

3. Go forth with stationery

Great business cards are a must; they're how people remember you,

and as a creative professional there's no excuses for a shabby one.

But consider postcard's, even compliments slips, for times when snail mail trumps email.

There are plenty of online services for these.

4. Party!

There's always a launch for something on the horizon. Find out what's going on,

grab some cards and head over. And, when you get there,

don't be bashful about talking to people. They could become friends, clients or even both.

5. Become an instructor

There's more to self-promotion than online social media.

Get in touch with your old course leader, a local college or an adult education centre

and offer them some of your time. It raises your profile,

gives you something to blog about and is 'the right thing' to do.

6. Justify portfolio entries and bye-bye the weakest link

Ask yourself whether new portfolio additions say something different to your earlier pieces;

don't just fill your portfolio with everything. Your portfolio is only as good as its weakest item,

so don't include any filler. In the client's mind, not only are you capable of producing a howler,

but you're also showcasing it.

Work flow / Time management

1. You're your own boss

If one of you employees tooled around all day watching TV, phoning friends

and updating Facebook, you'd sack them. Well, that's you now.

Be strict, and tell people you're working, not just 'at home'.

2. Set a schedule

Make sure you know how you're going to approach each day and how it relates to

what you have to do, particularly if you've got multiple projects on the go.

Create a spreadsheet to keep track of productivity.

3. Don't just sit there

You need to keep moving around, not just because exercise is good for you,

but seeing flowers, snow outside and even rain

will change your creative perspective and keep you inspired.

4. Buy a beast

If you are home alone a lot, having a pet that needs feeding and/or walking

can force you to structure your day. They also keep you company

without forcing you into never-ending conversation.

5. Respond to clients quickly

Return your emails and phone calls as quickly as possible.

It keeps you from being distracted when you're doing your creative work,

or interrupted by clients chasing you.

2010-06-26T09:40:00.000-07:00

grr... I need some inspiration! For last week I have tried to write something about pearl what fits to Dr. Caligari movie, but it all sounds so lame. Am so close to finish up everything I need to do for my application for master studies... And nothing, nix, ei yhtikäs mitään!
I hope I will have inspiring day tomorrow, when I will be helping O and G to print shirts.
I hate this so close and still so far away thing...

2010-06-25T08:51:00.000-07:00

IMPROMPTU
UK 1991 / 107 min
Dir: James Lapine, cast: Hugh Grant (Chopin), Judy Davis, Julian Sands

Novelist George Sand (Judy Davis) falls in love with composer Frederic Chopin (Hugh Grant). She tries to profess her love for him at a weekend hosted by a pretentious, artistically minded duchess for famous musicians, artists, and writers of the day. The gentle and sickly Chopin is wary of the outspoken Sand, but finds himself strangely drawn to her, as well.

tonight:

2010-06-08T08:45:00.000-07:00

A SONG TO REMEMBER

USA 1944 / 113 min

Dir: Charles Vidor, cast: Cornel Wilde (Chopin), Paul Muni, Merle Oberon

Plot (from a story by Ernst Marischka) introduces Chopin as a prodigy at 11, with Paul Muni playing the old music master who easily recognizes his genius. When 22, the student and teacher flee to Paris after Chopin refuses to perform for the Russian governor. Young Franz Liszt befriends the newcomer and is directly responsible in getting him recognition.

Cornel Wilde career took off after he played Chopin in this movie (1944), for which he received a Best Actor Oscar nomination. So, looking promising.

Czeslaw Wollejko, as Chopin from yesterday, did good job. The movie itself would been better without the unnatural policy, what could been so easily cut out.

FILM WEEK CELEBRATING FRYDERYK CHOPIN'S 200th ANNIVERSARY7 - 11 JUNE 2010AT PÜHA KATARIINA KIRIK (St. Catherine's Church)

This I have been waiting for all year! I love those mini film festivals! Usually they are connected to Germany like last year theme was "after war, before wall" and before that movies made by Ernst Lubitsch. This year it is about Chopin, but selection is still very interesting for me.

today: YOUTH OF CHOPIN

Poland 1952 / 121 min

This Polish-made biofilm of composer Frederic Chopin (Czeslaw Wollejko) centers on the life of the young artist in 1825-31, as he becomes caught up in the nation's rising tide of revolutionary spirit.

Katariina Church at Vene street is just right place were to show old movies, don't you think?

exhibtions to see

2010-06-02T07:36:00.000-07:00

Until 21.06 Kaire Rannik has lovely exhibition " Inonotus obliquus" in safe room in A-Galerii. Clever way to exhibit her jewellery. Here two of my favorites, witch one were your favorites?

And in Müürivahe 33 five blacksmith boys are exhibiting their work until 30.06. Sorry for bad photo, looks better in real life :)

The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari (1920) - Full Movie

2010-05-31T09:37:00.000-07:00

I wanted to share with you my favorite movie Das Kabinett des Doktor Caligari. I think it may been 1995 when I saw it first time and recorded it. I have stop counting how many times I have watched it, but one of my favorite times was in Tallinn, in one courtyard in Old Town and with live music. This one I find from YouTube has quite bad soundtrack and that's why its not my favorite version. But I found one short clip with better music and what gives the idea of the move quite well.

Eurovision mania

2010-05-29T09:07:00.000-07:00

I do like to watch Eurovision song contest, I think I do it every year. I like to watch it alone so there is no distractions. This year I have clear favor. From the first time I heard this it just crawled in to my soul. For me this is just so mutch more than Eurosong. I love that he sings in his motherlanguege, but words are so so sooo good if you read them!

Harel Skaat, Milim (Words)

Once again the sadness is here

again fear has risen

and the end is at my window

cracked glass, silence again and

exhausted and cast aside

in my mind

the light fell asleep,

tears of blood

burning my throats

cratched handle ,

fallen ceiling

when singing to you the last song

you left me only words

Refuge in the shadows

arranged books

and in between the rooms

you left me only word

sand a bouquet of locks

god, you left me only words

the walls are silent now

and what did you take

when you ran away

yes, what did you take

you might have won this war

what is left when you are gone?

you left me only words

Refuge between the shadows

arranged books

and in between the rooms

you left me only words

locks bouquet

god, you left me only words

to the ice is also cold

When I remember

how today you are in front of him

Lightning in his shadow

Breaking for him

the words you left me

You are telling him

ps. He has homepage whats just my taste! http://www.harelskaat.com/

Daytrip to Tartu

2010-05-29T08:40:00.000-07:00

Thursday I had quick trip to Tartu, my hometown, to see my mother and sister. Visited botanical garden what is one of my favorite places and its getting more beautiful by every year. This time they surprised me with new peony garden! (not at photo) I totally recommend you to visit this place if you go to Tartu! Its right at center of the town and its for free!

I visited at Y-Galerii exhibition by Timo Toots too. It was very interesting. Timo has great idea to make exhibition of something that interests everybody! And that's you! Just have your ID with you and you can see exhibition of yourself! People in Tallinn, don't worry, 10 of June his exhibition will open in cellar of Hobusepea galerii too.

Old Gold

2010-05-24T09:25:00.001-07:00

Some Old Gold, me at 2006 on my graduating after party at Chocolaterie de Pierre at Vene Street. Dress is (as usually) by Triinu Pungits.

This morning I saw poster "What did you do 5 years ago?" And 2005 was very special and break-through for me. Its when I practically bring to an end my study at Estonian Academy of Art ( final touch was 2006), had my first practice, participated in my first exhibition abroad (Italy), met love of my life, started to work in A-galerii (still here :) ....

What did you do 5 years ago?

sunday

2010-05-17T08:35:00.000-07:00

Just super Sunday! Started with pancakes and cafe together my sister and M. Then I made quiche for lunch, what is so easy to make and tasting so good! Instead of base, you use bread cubes what you mix with milk and eggs. Then you can add what you wish. This one is with cheese, zucchini and tomato's. You just mix everything together and bake in 200'c until looking good!
So fun to cook for others!

2010-05-15T04:11:00.000-07:00

Summer is here and time to find out bikinis! Would not mind to own pair of those!

After camp I come to Tartu to spend time with my family. Yesterday I made vegetable wok with rice noodles to everybody and today my sister and mother will make some food. My holiday has got little longer and what can be better.

And conclusion for my camp. Am very happy that I did it and am sure I will do it again in future, but only if I can get same Doctor, Viigi Viil. She really was the heart of this all. And the whole camp was not about fasting. We were dealing with everything else and I did not felt at all hungry or empty stomach. And determents, that we all will get grumpy and start to sweat terribly, didn't happened either.

100 and 1

2010-04-28T06:35:00.000-07:00

This is my 101 posting here, lets celebrate it with this funny picture of me and L.

And I have excellent news about my fasting! My forecast came true that I don't need to do this for 7 days. Reason for that is, that my body weight has come down so fast (now 5,5). So from today am having juice and from tomorrow porridge, fruits and salad! Ta-daa! Am happy that by time we come back Friday, I can all ready eat what I want.

Sunday and Monday

2010-04-26T03:26:00.000-07:00

Sunday morning I felt like I have really bad hangover, but luckily it past fast. Day went as usually with some gymnastics and lecture. Had time just to do nothing. Around five we went for little walk with A. After that I started to feel really bad and nausea. So I got some tea and honey too.

Monday (today) morning I felt really good and now everybody got some lemon water too. From 11 we all had tea. Now a little nap and later maybe to spa for swimming.

Believe or not I don't feel hungry and this morning I have lost all together 3,9 kg, what is all ready more than I was expecting.

2010-04-25T22:31:00.000-07:00

Saturday we did long 18 km walk through forest and alongshore. It was sunny and warm and really felt like holiday.

trip to Saaremaa

2010-04-24T08:41:00.000-07:00

On the way to Västriku we visited Pädaste estate. ***** very, very nice!

2010-04-23T12:36:00.000-07:00

Today we arrived to Saaremaa to the camp place and am so surprised that our house is so cute! Its so me! We also had first meeting and am surprised again. Its not just fat people here. Most of them are here because of the positive and life changing feeling they got last time. Lectures are also more for mind, but more of them later.

From practical side I started getting in to the mood yesterday. Had fruit and yogurt day + one sugar bagel. This morning just in case porridge with orange and banana for lunch. And from this on, just water. So long, no hunger and am looking forward for tomorrow.

What to take with you?

2010-04-21T06:58:00.000-07:00

Lots of warm clothes
hot water bottle (middle in top, made by my sister)
swimsuit, selection of my favorite tea, notebook, laptop, some books to read (not Hemingway and others who write all the time about eating), sticks for Nordic walking (nice to take them out to walk sometimes too :)

Did I forgot something?

What will I do in Fasting camp?

2010-04-20T08:49:00.000-07:00

Daily routine:

7.30 - 10.00 checkup by Doctor

10.00 - 11.00 gymnastics

11.00 - 12.00 lecture ( about fasting and nutrition)

12.00 - 19.00 free time, hiking, swimming, sauna, curative measures

19.00 - 20.00 conversation

20.00 sauna

For me this will be more like sport camp, but of course its all unforced, if you don't feel like it you don't need to do all of it. I have heard that first 3 days can be bad. But I hope I can get best out of the clean countryside by hiking and having some relaxing spa on my free time.

Fasting camp

2010-04-19T08:55:00.000-07:00

This Friday am going to fasting camp for one week. That means 7 days on water. How did I get myself into this?
It all started in January when 2 of my good friends decided to go to fasting camp. I said its stupid to think that one week on water will make you slimmer and happier and more energetic person, if you continue living in your comfort zone after that. But as they were convinced that this will be so life changing and great and I could only say what I have been reading about it (and that was not much) I decided to go there with them. So then I can say, been there - done that and that's waist of your time and money.

But after promising to go there I started to read more about it and trying to get myself emotionally ready, because lets face it, 1 week with out food is quite hard thing to do.

And I stop eating potato chips! I used to have 3 big bags (about 1 kg) per week, what made 4 kg per month. Its all crazy when you stop thinking of it. Its over 3 months now and am still struggling every time when am in food shop.

So this will be my experiment for getting to know if fasting is so great as they say. They say it helps against most of health problems, you will lose appetite against unhealthy food, clears your head and gives you lots of energy. And yes, makes you to lost weight, even am most skeptical about how long that will stay.

More about my experiment you can read during next 2 weeks :)

And now we can start to wear big and crazy rings again with out worrying how to fit glows on. Some of my favorites from Carrotbox blog.

Cupcakes rings, hmm... ring and dinner in same! One day when I have my own jewellery cafe this will be in menu!

The idea is not new and I was in one jewellery cafe in Potsdam, witch was not so excellent, but I heard there is one really good one in some were else in Germany. But I think the concept is brilliant! Its always nice to have cup of cafe and something next to it or just have your lunch middle of gorgeous jewellery! J could bake fresh cake every morning and make soup of a day, and I could try to make carrot pie or fruit salad ( nothing complicated, please:)

These look eatable too!

There are so many great food blogs, but looking them makes me so hungry and am not that great in kitchen. I just don't feel like it to cook just for myself. So I was so happy when J was visiting me and made me some duck with orange risotto! Hi is just a Wizard in kitchen! And I made us dessert: strawberry's with whipped cream!

Every half an hour you can now see this cute steam theater in Nunne street at Estonian State Puppet and Youth Theatre. Detailed puppets are made by Keith Newstead and its really worth to see, even its so cold outside.

2010-01-22T08:59:00.000-08:00

Its nice to know that many people have blog. Like this boy who I met at gallery today (and nick this cool photo from his blog). Refreshing also to get reminded that people are different, not better or worse than me/us/we, but just different. Every now and then I realise this and think how small my world is. But I love my world, its a happy place to be :)
