Not Pictures this time

Ok ok I guess you don't just want to see pictures???

Well what do i have to say? Yesterday I finished up putting around 300 pins and connecting them with string in a paper mache globe. I took 190 pictures of glassware. Today I started making my very first canvas boy does that eat up a day. I'm in the process of starting to design two wine labels.

Try Izze sparkling juice. The cans are so beautiful and it tastes good as well. Watch Desperate Housewives, it's funny. Start a book club, we haven't even picked our first book and it's rather exciting. Listen to Head Automatic "Beating Heart Baby." Haven't stopped listening to that song since the summer.

I actually had alittle time over the break to watch some movies:

A lot Like Love- so so. It had it's funny moments.

Kung Fu Hustle- dumber than I thought it would be, probably don't watch.

Maria Full of Grace- pretty interesting and predictiable.

Dear Frankie- really sweet. I'd suggest this one. It's about a deaf boy who's mother authors letters from "his father" who's supposed to be out at sea. One day the boy finds out his father's boat is coming to shore and his mother hires a stranger to be a dad for the day...

My Emily



This is a diptych I did of Emily. I had about 2 weeks to work on it and I was in everyday. This is by far the busiest I've been here at school. No time to talk to anyone.... so if I haven't talked to you, you know why.

Actually no time to write either..... I'm leaving for the Walker in an hour and a half and I have to take a bunch of pictures first..... so I'm out of the library and off to my favorite blue shed to photograph it.

Eshh

I'm back on another loaner. Let's just say this has been an interesting first month of school!

In my honors technology class my group is looking into online communities, pros/cons, personal stories what have you. We are considering blogging as a sort of online community so anyone with anything to add to our research would surely be loved by my group!

Finally!

After 2 weeks of a crappy loaner laptop my laptop has returned to me with a new cd drive and heavenly widgets!! I have been waiting months to call a set of widgets my own. My favorite is the simple Hula Girl widget. You can choose between a hula girl, a hula boy, a hula jesus, or a hula homer. Good Good times.

Has anyone heard the new Franz Ferdinand song" Do You Wanna"? Great song with a hilarious video, poking fun at the contemporary abstract art scene. I've seen it care of MTV2 newly included in our cable package this year. yesssssss.

It's crazy up in here

There are kids living in the lounges once used for homework and late night chatfests, there are beautiful apartment style dorms, a cozy new living room for my apartment and neighbors walking back and forth that we actually know. It's a new year here at school.

Got cable and internet today when it wasn't supposed to come for a week and a half, we got lucky.

I've helped with a freshman book discussion, got mistaken for a freshman myself, maybe that's good since i'm going to be 22 soon and am feeling old.

Over the weekend I watched:
Muriel's Wedding
Shattered Glass
Marvin's Room
Harry Potter and the Socerer's Stone
Hocus Pocus.

I think this place is a book trap, I could hardly pick up any of my books to read even when i wanted to so much.

Today I had Product and Packaging Graphics and Painting, nothing much to report, nothing has happened yet.

I hope you all are hanging tough!

49 cents a pop!

Amazon.com has recently launched a part of their site where you can purchase and download short stories by an assortment or well know authors for 49 cents a story called Amazon Shorts. I guess they are exclusive to Amazon.com. I think this may be of interest to some of you short story lovers out there. Cheers!

My Graphic Design teachers' dream come true

Original packaging always helps sell and promote the product...

Mighty Funny

Terror Alert Level
Current Terror Alert

I found this on the internet and found it mighty funny.

Going back to school tomorrow and it begins...

Snapshots of Colorado

I took about 180 pictures while in Colorado and here is a small sampling...

A cute little bird that was hanging out in the Rocky Mountain National Park where it was about 40 degree. He just sat there as I took pictures, very nice.

Probably one of my favorite pictures from the trip, I really liked this tree and took a bunch of pictures of it. It's beautiful

One of the six bookstores I went to, this one was in Aspen. I was impressed because they carried several Graphic Design magazines, rock on!

End of the Summer Moviewatching

Sin City- third viewing, love the movie, it could be Kill Bill 3 in my opinion, wish there were more special features

The Perfect Score- some what better than I thought, it's filled with young stars that are making it big as we speak. But at the same time very predictable.

Miss Congeniality 2- similar to the first good for a laugh, rented in Colorado.

Because of winn dixie- nicely made sappy children's movie, but then again it was a book, rented in Colorado.

Fat Albert- rented by my sister, it was ok, sort of stupid, I don't recall how it did in the box office. Guest appearances but Aaron Carter and Joel from Good Charlotte, i bet that sold a lot of tickets.

Bride and Prejudice- from the director of Bend it Like Beckham, Bollywood meets Hollywood, a semi-musical that travels from India to England to LA and back again, has some hilarious characters.

The Upside of Anger- I was surprised to find out the gross radio producer in the movie was the writer and director! He is very talented. Had hilarious moments and sad moments, I felt like I didn't really get to know the daughters and felt like their stories were left unfinished.

The Brother's Grimm- in the tradition to ensemble cast action adventures like The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, it had funny times and really cheesy times. It was ok though.

Constantine- much better than I thought it would be. Keanu Reeves was pretty good, enjoyed seeing the good and evil reveal themselves, I liked it

I Capture the Castle- nice, funny movie. Still have to finish the book, I was disappointed by the ending, I didn't want to be but I was, I felt bad for the girl.

Shaun of the Dead- hilarious zombie movie, the beginning is great and has some really cool shots but by the time the zombie war in going on full force it got pretty boring.

Dogville- it was a play on film, was about 3 hours long. Strange set and Grace's reason for running away was strange, weird ending.

Analyze That- less annoying than the first movie, but in the same tradition, it was ok.

The Big Chill- reminds me of St Elmo's fire but maybe 7 years later. Glenn Close and Kevin Klein and Jeff Goldblum in their younger years, I would suggest it!

End of the Summer Reading

Blink- newer book by the author of the Tipping Point, both were very good but I think I enjoyed Tipping Point a bit more. Read both and tell me what you think.

The True and Outstanding Adventures of the Hunt Sisters- written in the form of letters and emails, sad story of two sister's one trying to make it in hollywood and the other going through cancer, fast read, it was ok.

The Idiot Girl's Action Adventure Club- hilarious set of short articles in the book form from a 20 something's life. It's hilarious non-fiction. I loved the stories about her neighbors, two little girls that would come over to bug her all the time.

The Namesake- great story about an Indian family moving to the US and their American born children.

Sin City Drops today!

Today Sin City came out on dvd. To me it could be considered Kill Bill Vol. III! If you haven't seen it you should. But if you have a weak stomach for graphic (comic) violence make sure to have your hand ready to put over your face.
