Taking it real easy today. My weekend will be filled with comics and proposal writing and the like. But comics are awesome.
Work went fast. My yellow broom was missing so I couldn't do as good of a job sweeping as I would have liked.
Teresa and Jason asked if I am going to show up for their thesis discussions. Well, Jason didn't so much as as tell me to drink coffee and be there. I told him I don't drink coffee so he said to just be there. The nice lady who shows up to movie night now and again also asked me to be at her proposal. I shall be there for all three of them. But beyond them and the bookbinding instructional activity I'm going to spend the open time working. Probably.
Craig gave me an airhead candy today. Nice guy. Andy and Nicole are having a dual show that is opening this First Thursday. Uhg, supporting friends is such a bother!
Movie night was Brick and a Jackson Pollack movie. Brick is still awesome the second time around. The iMac had problems playing the DVD and it paused at some of the worst moments. I wish more movies were like this. I didn't stick around for the second movie. Actually, no one did so Jack didn't play it.
Went home. Brandon is staying over tonight so I wanted to leave him and Lindsay alone so I went and caught the late showing of Hitman at the 7$ movie theatre (7$ all day, strange how that is now a deal). I said to the guy who bought his ticket before me, "A great night for a bad movie." We got to talking about how sometimes you just need a ridiculous action flick and he asked if he could sit next to me and I said sure. We chatted about movies and like Beowulf, this was a movie that you really have to see with someone you can make jokes about it with. Hitman was absolutely ridiculous. In a fun way. A few cool fight scenes, nothing really epic. Some nice visuals (namely the visuals of Timothy Olyphant). No one cheesy one liners but lots of (maybe intentional) silly lines. Olyphant was so good in Live Free or Die Hard, I wonder how he suddenly became so wooden in this role. From what I remember of Nathan playing the original video game, the film did carry over a lot of those elements. Hallway walking, clothes stealing, stealthy killing, etc. Oh, it also carried over the footage from Dark Angel for the opening sequence. Not "inspired by" the footage of the kids in the compound from Dark Angel, THE footage of the kids. Did they really think no one would notice that?
Work and two movies. Very relaxing. Now I have to get on the ball!

aww darn you math
I got a 53.5% on my math exam. Yup. I'll be taking math during the summer or something. Oh well. At least I wasn't close to passing, then I would just delay taking math for ever and ever till I do eventually pass it.
Digital tools, the critique was very kind. A few pieces really sat weird in the whole thing, but overall it worked. We are moving on to a web site next/for our final. It is using iWeb, which Gordon said makes pretty dull looking results and it is next to useless. So yeah...why are we using it? I don't know. I made my project proposal about using the extra project towards making a nice print out of my Time Arts comic but he said he didn't want us to double-dip the project. That is really lame. So much work to do a whole new extra piece in a couple weeks on top of all the required work. Bleh! I'm going to have (should have) a busy weekend ahead of me.
We critiqued and posted our "activated conte" pictures from last class. I dunno, mine still seems like a big mess with big feet.
Kate was our model for today. I had her during my pre-college PNCA program. Ohhh she is so horrible, I don't know why the school continues to hire her. She kept nodding off during her long, hour pose. Her head would bob up and down and her leg slowly shifted downwards. She was holding a can in her hand that I was trying to draw and that moved all over the place. Just really bad. And she crawled all around while we were doing shorter studies of her and that was rather disturbing. Lindsay had her as well and she fell fully asleep and farted in Lindsay's direction. But my drawing looks good, so I am conflicted.
Student council had mac&cheese and the usual salad. Tasty. It was in 205 for some reason and they didn't have any folding chairs so I was stuck on a stool, looming over everyone. Sad to see the current leader of the council leave, he has been really nice. He always says hi and chats me up when he sees me in the studios. Diana might step up and fill his shoes. Shes mature and commanding. She can do it.
After drawing I had talked with Jim about meeting up and showing him how to sew on the schools machines (he has to sew something for a drawing project). The machine was broken so I just invited him over (to my place) to show him how to do it by hand. Okay I'm not the best sewing person, but it was good enough. We chatted about comics and half-watched some stuff on tv while sewing and painting. Got some pizza (chicken + feta cheese) from Bellagio's for dinner (3$ Goose Hollow discount, whoo!). Lots of fun, glad Jim could hang out. He is a busy dude.
I have a splitting headache. Work tomorrow. Trying to sign up for a bookbinding class.

snow? SNOW!?
Had to make another list. It is building up. Finals. Final projects. Argh!
Comic for Time Arts. Final project and webpage for Digital Tools. Collage and the late color scheme for 2D Design. Paper for Art History.
Bugger.
So yeah, the painted color schemes for 2D design was due today. Whoops. A lot of people thought it was due later as well. I'll turn it in late, but it will look nice. I'm half of the way done. Takes me an hour and a half to do one. Bleh, not looking forward to spending near five hours on this thing. Oh well. I have movies to watch.
Time Arts, we watched some thing about Bill Viola. Pretty cool. I'm uncertain more so about my final comic.
The stress that I thought I would be feeling all through this semester. Stress of the workload and all that. It wasn't around for the last few months. Now it is here. Uhhgg.
The plastic bag protecting my bum from the wet seat tore half way through my ride home. And it was snowing. Well, that snow slush rain. Like daggers. Daggers in my eyes.

choco found!
I don't feel all that well so I don't think I will be painting tonight. I don't think it is really due tomorrow (the 2D assignment) and if it is I will just turn it in late. I doubt anyone is ready, even Nell who has been working nonstop.
Not sure if I'm sick or I feel ill just because I haven't eaten that much today. Or other stuff. At least I should get a good rest tonight.
Yesterday we got a note from the Goose Hollow people that our sprinkler has been fixed. We still keep the trashbin there, just in case. We have been fooled before.
Also as it turns out I am stuck in Goose Hollow for another semester because I signed something along the way that keeps me here a full academic year. DAMN! Well, I keep the same room so that isn't so bad. And no worries about moving about during Winter Break.
Finished up my digital tools photoshop thing. I find it silly but Gordon says, "That gets more awesome every time I see it." I printed it out but the printer is a piece of haggis so it ended up being really blue and saturated funky.
Drawing we "activated" the page with red conte. My last drawing I felt was a big mess. Charcoal rubbed off all over my pretty turquoise top that Rubie gave me for my going-away party. It will wash out.
I was very fashionable today. Wore my wellies and black skinny leg jeans and I had my stripey leg warmers over the jeans and they peaked out from my wellies. Wore the turquoise top under my fine checkered asymmetrical zippered jacket and all that under my black pea coat. Color and pattern against black. Very awesome. The heat that came up from my toasty toes kept me snug all day.
Yesterday I rode my bike home through the rain and I had forgot my gloves that day so I was five kinds of numb when I finally got home. I'm overdressing so I don't catch a chill. I can't afford to be sick right now. Or ever.
Riding home I was very tired so I stopped for a quick breath a little past Burnside on 13th. I was looking around and noticed across the street from me sandwiched between American Apparell and a construction site...A chocolatier! With drinking chocolate! And other fine pieces of tasty morsels. I needed a rest so I locked my bike and went in. The people insider were really nice and the accented (French or Spanish, I couldn't tell) guy behind the counter gave me a great overview of all the chocolates on display (oh dear God, the beauty). I ordered a shot of drinking chocolate and read a little. The little 6 oz. (well 4-8 oz., I am not a good judge of volume) shot was intense, so strong and delicious and thick and flavorful. I couldn't imagine getting a regular size. I looked around the shop some more and asked for some milk chocolate recommendations and he pointed me towards this Goji Berry + Pink Himalayan Salt + Deep Milk Chocolate concoction. Oh dear he shouldn't have given me that free taste. Yeah. Something for a special day.
But that was so cool, I found a chocolate shop that I pass by every day. I think I'll revisit with just book and a couple bucks for some drinking chocolate.

je'taime, guy
Blah, I'm sort of behind on my 2D assignment. I have 1/6 of the things painted and I can't find the assignment sheet and I think it is due Wednesday. I'll get it done, tomorrow just won't be fun.
Back to work, back to school, back to the fun. It is getting down to the last few weeks now. The time seems to have flown by.
Big day, I stayed awake all through Art History! Huzzah for Trillian. I even asked questions about the orb. Funny how art's quality declined massively when Christianity took over. Sure some of the mosaic's are pretty but dang the attention to detail and proportion is not as...attentive.
2D was spent watching a movie and working on my design for the color scheme project (another one). I wanted to do an octopus but I couldn't quite get it so I made it an octopus girl. It would be cute if it wasn't so dang creepy with the bulging octopus eyes. The movie was Les Parapluies de Cherbourg. It had amazing color but it was a little distorted due to the projector not being calibrated right. An amazing story, the singing almost distracts from the really depressing plot.
Time Arts was a discussion/work dark. I sketched out more of my skeleton character and chatted up Peter. Rose put up my comic (and others) on the wall by the library for all to observe. Booyah! My comic is so eye catching, so bright. Have to write out a script and do thumbnails.
Have lots of work to do in the coming days (2D project, digital tools project proposal) and weeks (time arts comic, following through with digital tools extra credit project).
Oh and Heroes! WHOO CLIFFHANGER! Uber Heroes party at Matt and Andy's next week yall! Whoo.

home again...
Ahh home again. Well, is it really home? I haven't really made myself real cozy at Goose Hollow. I guess I consider Portland home? Hmm.
Mom was on a cookie making spree. I made my famous Peanut Brittle to give to Michael and Brandon (for giving me a ride and lending me a duffel; respectively).
Really I just sat about chatting with mum, watching Nip/Tuck and that was it.
Oh and Celia stopped by for a visit and gave me some AWESOME hats.
Cidney apparently boarded the train at Tacoma. Didn't notice her until I was standing outside the station waiting for Michael.
Wonderful seeing everyone. I'll be back up in a couple weeks to see David Sedaris. LIVE!!
...
Everyone is so mean about Basil but at least she doesn't have stinky breath like Ibanez.

rolling logs gather no...
Just got back Chris'. Back in the day I had to be home by 10. Now that I am a crazy art student I can stay out till midnight!
Outside of some really pretentious name dropping nothing much has changed between Chris and I. We sat about and out nerded/out weirded each other. We watched television and movies. Well actually this time it was only one movie.
Beowulf! Which is a good movie to watch if you are with someone you can make fun of the movie with. Which Chris definitely is. It had so many "This is SPARTA!" moments. Lots of shouting. I guess the effects were cool and there were some nice scenes; just nothing that really blew me away. I wouldn't say "oh wow! It is so amazing, you have to go see it!" Just a movie you can tune out of and joke around with a friend during. I wonder if Gaiman's script read "Grendel screams" or "Grendel: Agggg. Ahhhh. Ahhhggg. Agghhh." Also the Danish accents went from non-existent to needing subtitles. The scenes with Grendel and his mummy were borderline unintelligible.
Maybe we should have just seen Hitman. Mmmmm. Timothy Olyphant.
Is it wrong that I sort of want to see Wanted and Jumper?
I also watched my first episode of Project Runway and would really like to watch more, I just have no way to. And watched some G4 ninja contest. And Top Chef. Ohhhh the temptations of cable.
But yeah, hanging out with Chris hasn't changed much since August. Sipping soda, eating generic Americana recipes that are delicious, watching whatever and talking on random tangents.
Mum really misses me, tomorrow we shall make cookies together!
After talking with Grandma, I want to learn a card game to play in Goose Hollow.
