What a darn sluggish morning. But my computer is working beautifully. Love it.

We had a tiki themed first hour and a half of figure drawing. Morgan brought in props and put on music of the era. He told us to be Gauguin. He told me to be less De Kooning. Then for the second half of class we returned to World Lit Only By Fire and the model tied her hair up with a sash. I really don't like this model. She constantly shifts and only faces the front of the room. It is hard work to hold a pose, but she moves her foot and hand every minute it seems. Even I can do better than that. In the book we are to Martin Luther. Who knew he was so fascinating?

Silk screen had discussion and meeting with Christy. Christy talked about how I was being really productive and we talked about my Odd Owl project and where to get paper for it. It was a favorable review. It's good to be in good favors.

I chilled at student council for the free lunch. Mmm.

I left my sweater in the figure drawing room and during lunch there was a meeting in there, which became a class with what seemed like to break in between. Then another class used the room! But that class was composition and Antonia was in it and she showed up in the print studios and I dashed to get my sweater. In retrospect, I didn't have to dash.

Ran into BT. I got into the Bearfight anthology! I will be all published along other artists and stuff. It will be awesome. Whoo!

I spent silk screen sketching. I didn't have anything lined up to print, but I still loitered because I am far more productive there. And I got some real inspiration for the final Odd Owl poster. Checked out Beasts and Beasts 2 from the library. Very inspirational books. So much great art in them.

Scanned some stuff. Emailed some stuff. Then I escorted Karen to the hair salon. Mostly to hang out and talk. We made a pinky swear: if she starts stuffing her hair into a pony tail again, and thus putting this kink in her hair she can't get out, Karen will cut her hair chin length in a style full of pizazz. She always ties her hair back out of convenience and it destroys the structure of her hair, so it takes a lot of effort to undo that. So if I catch her in a pony tail outside of letter press, she will have to cut her hair in a fabulous way to keep her from that damaging pony tail style. Uhm. Yeah. Anyway.

Went home. Ate a tuna fish sandwich. Drew Odd Owl fliers. Watched Lost, episode of Six Feet Under, and the new FX show Justified with Timothy Olyphant. He plays a Marshall in a cool hat that kicks butt but has questionable morals. Solid enough first episode.

Sleep time!
