Feathers ....

I really like burlesque and especially dance performances with feather fans. I plan to buy a pair while I'm in England, and learn some routines with it. Here are some videos and some photos:

Home ... Mrs Peregrine's home for peculiar children.

I returned home to Slovakia on the 19th of December. The train was almost completely empty, which was good, because I had no reservation for my seat, just the ticket. On the 20th I went shopping with my mom. We bought presents for my family, but for ourselves as well. I bought Yves Saint Laurent ELLE parfume (I have been admiring how it smells for several months), cap, gloves, fake glasses from H&M men and MAC BOOK PRO. My old laptop broke down more than a month ago and I was forced to stay at university's library or borrow my boyfriend's one when I wanted to do something for school. It was horrible, haha.

I finished reading Mrs Peregrine's home for peculiar children. The story is very nice and towards the end I could not stop reading and had to finished it at once. So much suspense, haha :D I also loved the pictures, which accompany the story. They are very old, and scary. I have always admired old vintage photos, which have that horror vibe in them. You always have to wonder who were those people, or why did they dress up like that. Were they happy? Did he cheat on her? Was she crazy? I went online and searched for more pictures myself, which is what I use to do rather often, haha. Here are some of my favourites.

(the website I got these from did not include any information about them, but I will try and research the origins of them later)

I have this one as wallpaper on my laptop.

This tattoo's quality is unbelievable

Kirsten Dunst is that you? You have to admit the resemblance is there. :D

Stomach, snow and tests! Joy to the world ... fetish

So .... much ... snow.... don't you ever STAPH!!!!! Sadly, according to the weather forecast, it will melt. Anyway, this week in the land of Hell:

Wednesday morning horrible stomach pain. I could barely sit in class, almost fainted, and probably failed the listening test (luckily, I did not have to PASS). This resulted in horrible quartet of days of fever, stomach cramps, migraines, etc etc. Yes, brain, why study for the tests? Have a nice horrible sickness instead.

Today I had two tests, tomorrow is another one. The last one of this week. Then two essays and I am done. Home for Christmas.

Also, sharing this:

Reading End of November

I am one of those people, who read a lot of books, which are not compulsory, even though they need to read heaps of books for seminars at uni, too. Sometimes reading compulsory literature gets too difficult for me, especially when it is middle English literature or Shakespeare (because of the language in those times). Actually, everytime I have to read Shakespeare I get extremely pissed off and angry and almost violent, haha. Strong reaction, but why? No idea, but I find it rather amusing.

ANYWAY. I do not think these will help me pass my American Literature 3 oral exam, but hey, at least they will look good on reading list :D

1. Hunter S. Thompson, Hell's Angels

2. Hunter S. Thompson, Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas (Czech translation)

3. Kurt Vonnegut, Slapstick or Lonesome No More! (Czech translation)

4. Ira Levin, Rosemary's Baby

New Beginnings

I used to write a blog in Slovak language, but I decided to switch to English, because I hope even some people not from my country may find it interesting.


I am going to use this blog mainly as a means of expressing some feelings I do not feel should be expressed publicly most of the time. I will rant, but I will try to write about things I like or loathe with passion.

 I am going to study at Hull's university from January till June, as an Erasmus exchange student and so I will also write about my "student life" there.
