Don’t Fuck With Love

i like this little animated film Don't Fuck With Love

Film by Rachel McIntosh & Jim Starace.
Photography by Dave Dias & Amy Hume.
Song written by Max Low and performed by The Sad Little Stars.

“Don’t Fuck With Love” , a stop-motion animated film set to the song of the same name by the group The Sad Little Stars. A Cautionary Tale in Three Fantastical Dimensions, Two Star-Crossed Lovers Flirt Their Way through a Magical and Luscious 1920's Paper Pop-Up New York City.

Here are the lyrics:

Don't fuck with love
Don't lead her on and think that's enough
So you think you're pretty tough
Don't fuck with love

Don't believe a thing they say
Don't let Johnny Mathis lead you astray
She makes a waste of the stars above
Don't fuck with love

Buy her rings and violets
Treat her like gold and you'll see what you get
First it may come as a gas
Till cupid that bitch puts a cap in your ass
Don't fuck with love*

我的快樂時代

嘩我有開心事。

事情是這樣的：我已經上課兩個多月了，就是英國 art school 的準備課（因為英國方面規定我要在他們的 studio 修幾個星期，才可免卻 foundation，直入 BA），這陣子一直在繪畫，做 print-making，努力接觸不同媒體（可恨學校 studio 沒有石版畫器材和 textile 玩），主要都是一些基本功，你都知我 art from zero。

好了，上星期開始做 project，是一個兩星期的 project，我首試用 visual diary 紀錄，發現真的有用。然後，就在三天之後，即是今天，我想到一個我很喜歡的點子；開始的時候並不怎麼確定，直至我在 visual diary 試 draft 之後，我看著那張紙笑了。

是笑出來那種笑。

然後，為了鎮靜自己，我落樓下行個圈。

行了一個圈，我依然覺得那個點子很好。於是我去找阿 sir （一位友善的英國先生，也是一位 fine artist）。

由於我的 draft 太醜陋，起被他並不明白我想做什麼，直至我解釋清楚，他一聽到就笑了。

我只想知道自己的概念是否太幼稚，他說不，一點也不。

他回應說：你的想法很不一樣，你有很多想法，你非常的 conceptual，you made your statement。

我說下星期五才做 presentation，我會用餘下時間把它切切實實地造出來。

他說不用管下星期五了，lets move on. 你有許多許多想法，與其再花時間在概念上，不如我們下星期開始做其他事；就由 technique 學起，因為你可能需要一堆 technique 把自己的概念呈現出來。

然後，他笑了。

今個周末，我會放下那個「我自己認為很好的點子」，下星期回來看看自己會不會後悔。

他說你可能會的。

哈哈。

你知道我開心什麼？

我找到一位好老師了。

五月尾離開這間 studio 的時候，我會捨不得他的。

亦同時懷著希望，遇上更多好老師。

*還有，我真的很掛念你。

婆婆，我真是比你激死

婆婆，

一知道我用 internet phone 打電話給你是免費的，就天天和我談電話，談到沒事好談了，你還是拾不得掛線。隔天沒致電，你就追問我為何沒來電話，我說你一知道是免費，態度 180 °改變，真 cheap，你就哈哈大笑。真是比你激死。

自從你知道原來 internet phone 的 video call 都是免費，你又開始玩 video call，我看著畫面繪畫你，然後在鏡頭前遞給你看，你說「嘩都唔似嘅，淨係得我件衫似似地」，真是比你激死。
好了，談了三數星期，你開始頑皮，我打電話給你，你就叫表妹同我講， hea 鬼我，真是比你激死。

婆婆，最形係你。
很是掛念。
