Bad influence

I caught a flu of the century in Hamburg and was bed-bound for DAYS. These sorry scribbles were done in the eye of the storm.

flunssa_n

// *Various coughing and sneezing* / I’m one walking biohazard… /
Professor Tanant of studio course 7 appears to me in delirium. / Why aren’t you working on the scale model? Mercy, professor, can’t you see I’m not okay… / That’s no reason to — What would you like me to do?! Make a model from used tissues? Or from my own dead body?! / … / NOW I think we’re getting somewhere! Oh, begone! /
Neti pot! I’ll give half a kingdom for neti pot! But you don’t have half a kingdom. / I’ll give my firstborn for half a kingdom!! Fair enough… //

Craving for pizza as well was Ina

Sometimes it feels like this…

// Le Festin Nu, Paris: We could order more bread. Ina speaks the best French, Ina will order. / Waaah!! /
Jim Block, Hamburg: Okay Ina – the guys in our class, who do you think is the most good-looking? /… / Hm, well… /
Catch of the day, Hamburg: *in bad German* I’d like to have fish’n’chips and apple juice, please. Bla bla bla ( question in German)? / coughh / *in French* I’m sorry I don’t speak German, actually. Wait – damn! //

Julia and Romeo visited me, yay! I went to Hamburg, yay! I caught a flu there, un-yay…

Restaurants of Europe frequented by Ina

Mug cakes and little something special…

Corto_kakku_n

Is there anything better than a cake in a mug? / Yes. / I’ll never find a real boyfriend if I keep falling for the comic heroes…

Corto Maltese – Sous le soleil de minuit was okay, but only as good as a pastiche (or hommage) can be, unfortunately. Like very good quality fan-fiction. But one or two aphorisms-to-put-on-a-T-shirt too many for my taste.
Anyway, thank you the municipal library of Versailles for offering me this intriguing treat. Luuv ya!

More mug cakes on the make tonight by Ina

Awesomeness 100%

trotti_baguette_n

Now I’ve done it, no need to do it again. Because it was actually very unpractical, the baguette kept almost falling all the way home. But what wouldn’t you do for a picture, right?

Il était fou et clairvoyant

bulevardit_n

// Voilà we are going to have a grand boulevard. Take notes! / ”Must be spacious enough to fit at least four driving lanes, two parking lanes, side streets with parking facilities, wide sidewalks, two-way cycling lanes – / -on both sides, and two- no, four lines of mature planetrees.” Eh, Highness… / what’s a parking lane? / Just make it wide!!!

In case it’s not obvious *cruel irony* the guy with fancy wig is Louis XIV alias Roi Soleil, The Sun King. He sure saw the future of modern car-dependant society.

Exhausted by exhaust fumes in front of the Versailles Palace every day is Ina

Longings

After Kati’s visit I realized that there is a piece missing from my life…

nortit_n

Also, a small mundane event of checking the mails revealed another serious lack in my everyday life.

Sorry, I’m not gonna translate this time. But it’s about horses and how they are awesome and how much I miss them.

Struggling with finding a good, solid word for need was Ina
(Extra super much love for those who recognize the reference :P)

Mug cakes

// Stand back! We’re gonna try science! / sugar, oil, something – I guess… Nice that someone who speaks French is reading the recipe…! / Bling! / Oops, it burned. We got a heart-shaped coal lump! / Bling! / Smells like ham. Feels like sponge. / Bling! / Wow, this is actually really good! So we just made chocolate cake in a mug in microwaves in five minutes! Not bad!

Totally carried away by peculiar pastries was Ina

Welcome to mah place!

Another comic about how my 15 square meters serve as a human dwelling.
Kati visited me!!! <3 YAY!

miten_koti_toimii_n

// How does your your burner work? Just a minute, I’ll range the groceries and then show you. / Plates are in the tub, by the way. / There wasn’t enough space on the table – so I made the table on the floor! Super!

Weird furniture solutions fondly appreciated by Ina

Spring feelings

sarjiskalsarikannit_n

// Wow, what a beautiful evening! It’s spring, it’s Friday and I’m in France!! / Feels good to be alive! / I wonder what to do tonight? – since I’m still young and pretty and the world is open for me… / …

Haluaisin kutsua kuvattua tilaa sarjis-kalsarikänneiksi, vaikka tavoilleni uskollisena en mitään teetä vahvempaa nauttinutkaan 😉

Firmly stuck inside the four walls was Ina
