BEDA 6: Haunted Apartment, Snow and Soccer

Hello everyone

Day six of Blog Every Day April.

I want to talk about three things today:

1- Haunted apartment
2- Snow
3- Soccer

Haunted apartment: A while back this weird thing happened when I was chatting on the internet with my boyfriend. Webcam was on and when I stepped away from the camera he saw this white shadowy ghostly figure. Since then not that much has happened except that this morning I woke up to the sounds of water flowing in my kitchen, well in truth I heard that only after I got out of the shower.

There is this dishwasher in my apartment, which I have never really used. I don't have that much dishes plus I can always managed to wash it by hand.

So I get out of the shower and I hear the sound of water running, at first I thought it might be someone in another apartment taking his/her shower and I heard the noise, but it seemed way too close. I decide to investigate and make my way to the kitchen, to my surprise I saw water coming out of the side of the dishwasher. And looking inside the dishwasher and it was filling itself with water. That is not the oddest part though, I looked at the knob and it was set to the OFF position.

Now I take it I don't know much about dishwashers but can a dishwasher just fill itself up? It could be that it was broken, but I do find it odd that it was filled with water when it was clearly OFF.

I emailed the landlord and they came over today and fixed it as it was fine when I got home, but I still find this bizarre.

Snow: It was snowing today. RAWR! In april, ok I know it is Canada and bound to happen but last thursday was so beautiful, warm and nice out, I cannot handle snow anymore. Spring please get here SOON.

Soccer: I started playing soccer at the beginning of this year with OSSC, Ottawa Sports and social Club, and I love it. I had a game today and we WON 11-8! Yes I am overly excited because we don't win that much but I think we played much better today and I seemed to be a better goalie.

GO BLUE DEVILS! I also designed the logo for our team shirts.

I practiced in my apartment, kicking the ball and stopping it.



I definitely need to practice more. I am going to play spring soccer, this time it will be outdoors. Indoor soccer is great, the rules are quite different but being outdoor when it is beautiful and sunny, enjoying summer will be great.

Beda day 6 down... I feel accomplished.

See you tomorrow and in the meantime enjoy this:

Art tip of the day

TRACING THROUGH A WINDOW
Tracing implies the act of copying someone else's artwork or outright stealing. However, tracing can also serve as a valuable resource for artists. Perhaps you have a photo of a car that you just can't get right by simply drawing it out by sight. Well, there is nothing wrong with tracing the form of your image, then finishing it freehand to add all the details and originality. Tracing also has many other benefits, since it gives you the ability to overlay images, change an object, and locate your perspective.

Let's say you have something to trace, but you don't want to buy a trace-box. Well, here is a great idea for tracing through a window. Simply tape the image you want to trace on a window, and then tape your paper over that. The sunlight creates an instant trace-box.
