I SET A RECORD!

Monday Jan 29 2007

I set a record in something other than a video game!.... this is a rare thing as I have no athletic ability and am not very motivated for alot of things.....I get sidetracked with other projects.... anyways the record I set isn't really anything special, I've spent the most money on material for a foundations sculpture class.... $62, wow thats alot... but then i did use every matierial we had except sheets of steel that require welding, that $62 got me to use: Clear resin casting, graphite resin casting, alabaster carving, masonite for relief sculptures, copper sheets, brasing wire, plexi-glass, korean silver and sterling sliver.... wow i was a busy kid these past 8 weeks

Rubber Cement

mon Jan 22 2007

I hate rubber cement, it doesn't like me, it always destroys my projects, dun know why i'm incapable of getting good results.... plus it stinks and gives me headaches..... gotta be careful not to get high on the fumes.... anyways, its back to gluesticks for me, even if they do cause paper to buckle

I love VIM

January 21 2007

Lesson of the day:
When using india ink and msn at the same time be VERY careful

I have spilled india ink several times this weekend, the latest being on the floor by the computer, just missed the keyboard.... i'm a bit clumbsy, anyways idia ink is much fun and Vim does wonders to get it off.... my hands are white again! lol, they've been various shades of skin color and black all weekend

Monks are cool

January 21 2007

Man I love medieval monks. I did a cross hatched picture of one for drawing class and decided to write a scripture above it in gothic caligraphy... all this with a fountain pen of course. Doing the text was so tedious, I have SO much more respect for the medieval monks that wrote out the entire Bible like this, like wow that is alot of work and alot of dedication. There should be like a monk appreciation day or something.

Fancy Dinner and Cheese

Fri Jan 19 2007

So for my brothers birthday we went out for a fancy dinner. Usually we don't go to the really expensive facy places but this place had a special celbration thing, everything was their original prices form the 70s so we went (I think we booked reservations a year in advance)... anyways it was interesting seeing how us kids reacted.... my brother especially, I think he used every utensil he was given for every course, anyways it was quite funny

Another story from today:

So I was making this giant fake piece of cheese for a drama at church this sunday, it was almost done, carved out of foam and looked all pretty, and then me being my regular forgetful self left it at school, so I just had to whip one up with good old paper mache, hadn't used the stuff in a few years... kinda fun, makes me feel like I'm 6 again... anyways i gotta milk early tommorrow sp I'm quitting here

sore eyes, new tooth, cheap books and crunch time

Jan 18 2007

Ouch my eyes hurt. Today I had sculpture class and while I was working in the ventilation booth, there were several people melding behind me. With no room to set up a screen I figured I was ok since my back was turned.... apparently something was reflective in my booth though cuz now my eyes hurt

On a more positive note, I got a temporary cap put on my broken tooth, so now I don't look like simple simon anymore. Also I got some cool books for cheap, a whole stack of christian lit for 15 bucks, dated but still good, found a whole section in the back of a used books store downtown, I'm excited, I've been needing more books.

One week and one day till exams and then my studios switch... and we all know what that means.... crunch time... I'm saying crunch vs cram because in an art program you don't really ever cram information, you just actually work in the time alotted vs procrastinating.... finally finishing some projects.... I'm actually gunna have homework this weekend.... maybe i was too ambitious with my projects.... oh well its all good, textiles and ceramics start after exams, sorta excited there, means when I travel I will be able to tell the diff between tourist quality stuff and the good stuff.... anyways it is midnight and I should go to bed, peace

ICE

Freezing rain, it lots of fun, got me a day off school, so now i get to just chill all day.... slept for 10.5 hours, such a waste of half a day but makes up for me only getting 3 hours the night b4, oh well, man i love having a tv set up in the computer room, watching the league of extraordinary gentle men right now, great movie, some of the greatest books combined... though really not a fan of the graphic novel (don't read it)... anyways nothing more to say, peace

GREEK!

So as of today I am learning Greek. Been wanting to for a while but wanted to learn Swahili first. Unfortunatly my software that teaches Swahili is missing... so I finally gave in and skipped to Greek. My eventual goal is to be able to read from the Greek Bible if I wish, I'm a far cry from there though.... just getting the alphabet down now

resin

smell bad, polymer resin does, like toxic chemical hurting your brain....... man i hate filing

Why am I retarded?

I take forevere to finally make decisions on things and then as soon as I start to take action I want to back out, grrrrrrr... oh well, I got the ball moving enough that I can't back out now which is good cuz i don't want to, even though my stupid self is trying to back out

Bothersome stuff

Its kinda crazy how stuff can bother you, Liek something will bother you for a long time, and then when you get so you can live with it, it bothers you that it has the potential to bother you.... grrr.... contrary feelings stink as well

Fur Be Gone

I shaved off my side burns.... kinda weird now, Used to looking in the mirror and looking different... its strange, and I definetly look a bit younger and geekier now (a good thing with the geekiness), but I may grow them back... depends on how lazy I am

"Trip of crazy coolness"- (I'm going to start posting my titles down here so that the date of each post is more visible)

So I went down to Essex and Leamington to visit some freidns. A five day trip, and I've gotta say, It was great.I love everyone, Its so nice to have such cool friends I had a blast, ... only problem is that now my sleeping schedual is messed up so i'm gunna have trouble waking in the morning, oh well, what will be will be. peace

Lazyness, Forgetfulness and Procrastination are all terrible things

The Deeper Side of Wasted Talent

So I give God my all, but is my all the best I have to give? If I give all my talents to him but don't ever develop them I'm not giving him my best. Although I may not be the most awesome person out there, I want to give God the best I can, That means effort on my part, I can't just drift through life anymore

I Waste Talent

I've been realizing as of late that I am wasting talent. I have been given the gift of being able to create, yet instead of developing these skills and creating the best I can, I tend to use my talents as a crutch, slapping work together in short periods of time. Its not that the art I've made hasn't been good, its just that I have rarely used the full extent of my talents in my art. So this can be a belated new years resolution I guess- Make better art that requires more effort- (how this will relate to actual school assignments I don't know, i may stay less dedicated to them then i could be, this is mainly just for my personal art that I make because I want to)

New Years

spent new years eve in Lucan, visiting friends, did an all nighter with their church's youth group, much fun..... i love all nighters, and it was cool to hang out with a youth group again, spent the whole night hanging out in the church.... and of course with me accident prone i got injured (surprise, surprise) ... first I gored up my leg a bit while playing hide and seek in the dark... got it stuck under the metal railing around the stairs... stabbed it in a few places, some blood and bruising but not too bad.... then later playing dodge ball with frisbies i took one to the mouth and broke the cap off one of my front teeth (yes, again) so now i'm gunna have to get that re-capped, anyways it was a really good night, went to bed at 8am, got 4h of sleep, and i am wired! I love life, so nice to see pple again
