yellowbluepink by Ann Veronica Janssens at the Wellcome Collection for #statesofmind “Ann Veronica Janssens’s work explores perception through the use of light and colour. For her installation at Wellcome Collection, Janssens invades the gallery with coloured mist.

Grant Museum of Zoology
ALERT ALERT CLASS WAS IN A MUSEUM The Grant museum is one of the many at UCL. We were able to actually have class before they opened.

It really catches… Read More Grant Museum of Zoology

The… Read More Fall Fashions

I honestly expected Cathy to call out for Heathcliffe somewhere (though that would only happen in the North, not here in the… Read More BBC Masterpiece Theatre
Proper names and stuff
So, I’ve got some not very surprising info. Shockingly there are different names for things here! It’s like they have colloquialisms and shit. Here are some of my favourites: Zucchinis are now Courgettes. How fancy is that? Baked Potatoes are now Jacket Potatoes. I keep imagining potatoes in tiny jackets. Washrooms… Read More Proper names and stuff
