[insert any Andrew WK song here]
things are kinda looking up lately...
job interview Friday
finally fucking got started on my painting project
got a lot of work done on my new website layout tonight
THE ELECTION IS FINALLY OVER THANK YOU GOD
anyway, back to work, i gotta get some more work done on my painting before tomorrow
Today was just what I needed, went on a roadtrip with friends, swam in the ocean and saw a show.
I haven't been up to much after Jon and Chance came down for the weekend, just playing through MGS:2 and going to school and work. I realized sometime last Thursday that I didn't go to school at all last week, though in my defense that only means I missed two classes since everything else was canceled, but I still feel like crap about it. I'm not enjoying Experimental Drawing at all, the teacher is treating it more like Drawing 1, complete with in-class busy work and dull assignments (which are in no way experimental), and it's absolutely de-motivating. Add the unexciting syllabus on top of the fact that it's at 9:30 in the morning and you can see why it was easily beat out by "hitting 'snooze' and rolling over" two times in a row last week. I've had the class before with a different (better) teacher and it was great, now I'm all like "I knew Experimental Drawing, and you, sir, are no Experimental Drawing!" and then I slap the guy and we duel. Dan is taking the class with me and today we were talking about how we've already been planning out our teacher evaluation forms for optimum effect.
Another thing I realized recently is that I'm slowly starting to be not broke! A steady job will do that to you, I guess. I'm by no means rich, and I'm not yet as financially independent as I was before I lost my job back in December, but I haven't had to call Mom for grocery/gas money in at least a week now, and I'm actually starting to be able to think about spending money and not cringe quite as noticeably as usual. Just in time to apply for a student loan for next semester =(
I couldn't for the life of me remember the name of the artist or the song here, but I finally figured it out after letting it bug me for a week or two. Not as good as I remember, but still fairly okay...
Soooo done with school right now. Pulled one more all-nighter and turned in my last project yesterday, slept all night, woke up waaaay early and got re-acquainted with my DS and FFVI to check on Locke and the gang for a bit and then went out to run some errands. BFA meeting today at 4, but not too much else on the schedule right now. I'll probably start working on a regular basis soon (actually, I need to call about that today) which will be nice, but right now I'm really enjoying just kicking back and relaxing for a bit.
Heard this in a skate video a while back, wish I could remember where, but the chorus of this song has been stuck in my head on and off for at least a month now, and I finally got around to looking it up.
Also, as of two days ago, I'm pretty much caught up on all my school stuff I've had piling up on me since I was sick, and that's another load off my mind.
Basically, I'm feeling optimistic about money and school and stuff again, hopefully things will be back to normal soon.
Going home for most of spring break, and I am determined to kick back and relax. Dad went kind of nuts while he was cooped up at the house and the word on the street is he's gotten on some kick about my old speeding tickets and from that he's somehow decided that Jon and Kayla can't go to college any more? I'm not sure. Never am with that guy. I've been wondering if he'll realize he should tone himself down now that he's got to worry about his blood pressure or if he'll just commit rage suicide on accident one day. Seriously. =/
My uncle helped me out with my job search, apparently he has connections at a Holiday Inn nearby and put in a good word for me there. I went and put in an application and had a little interview with the manager today, he seems like a pretty cool guy and was sympathetic to my situation, even told me to call the corporate HR offices for Murphco and file a complaint about being wrongfully terminated. Anyway, if everything goes well, I might have a front desk job there within the next couple of weeks, I guess he'll be calling me.
Now in the meantime, I am going to be broke as all hell. I basically ran out of money today.

Cool thing: Rock Band Name Generator
Generates band name, album title, and album cover from certain parts of random searches on wikipedia, quotationspage, and flickr. What's interesting is that it actually comes up with cool stuff every now and then.
My Band:
Grandeur - Part of the Precipitate
YES.
Finally my hard work pays off and I get some real validation about my artwork... I made it into the BFA program! I haven't felt this good in a long, long time. I'm beyond words right now.
Of course, there's the task of producing a bunch of new work now, but hasn't it always already been there?
Wow, what a weekend. Lots of fun, even if I felt like crap half the time - Friday night kind of wrecked my shit Saturday.
Not so much fun: homework. Damn, I did a lot this weekend. Finished my GDIII thing with Kirsten yesterday, went to school and did a little work on my photo project today. Okay, it doesn't look like a lot here, but trust me, it was work.
Went with Hailey to Jenny's Lunchbox today for some lunch, they were slammed and we ended up waiting an hour for our food. In the meantime a waitress cried, we played with butter, and there was a bald guy outside.
The faucet on our sink is totally borked, so Russ turned the water off in the kitchen to keep it from getting worse. I really hope it gets fixed soon, or I'll have to start eating out for every meal.
Busy busy busy birthday weekend... lot of eating, hanging out with family and friends, shopping, driving, sleeping.
Highlight reel:
thai food
helping mike move (again. like the fifth time now)
melted icecream cake
eggrolls + beef stew
dinner at maguire's with a million people
Didn't get a lot of presents this year, just a big wad of cash. Mom got me a new comforter and sheets since I fried my old comforter in our crappy dryer. Jon and Marie got me Hotel Dusk, which is pretty cool so far. Had lots of good food, I ate until I was about to puke like five times.
