I like Blanca Gomez' illustrations. A lot.

I woke up angry today. Not sure what it is, but I am furious. I better just stay in my office, where I can pity myself. Or I may hit somebody.

And, oh, I forgot to wear red today. That makes me even more fiery.

Sticky power pole

Ferm Living's wallpapers and wall stickers are breathtaking. My favorite is probably the Power pole.

Activism

I just found an email in my Gmail draft folder. I wrote it last night, while recovering from my violent anger attack.

Dear F,

I was just recently informed that the Swedish Prime minister visited the Media Lab today. Just a small thought: Next time Swedish representatives visit the Lab, I - as a Swede - would be delighted to meet the representatives in order to do my best in influencing them in a positive way. Just knowing that there are actually Swedish students at the Lab might indeed have such an influence.

Best,

Paulina Modlitba

Thank God that I decided not to send it. What a crappy email! I am a maniac.

Missing Fredrik

So, apparently the Swedish Prime Minister, Fredrik Reinfeldt, visited the Media Lab last afternoon, and I was not even invited. I was so insulted and hurt that I started crying. Tom didn't know what to think or do: "Is this woman serious?"

Anyway, I received a message on Facebook from a friend who knew exactly what to say:

The Prime Minister is also crying because he did not see paulina.

Yew Chin, thanks for making my day.
