Done.
Now I'm gonna focus my energy on finding a job.
I figure today was my last day of slacking off before school gets out (well, maybe I'll slack off just a little during Thanksgiving) because I have got a ton of stuff due...
2 experimental drawing projects
3 paintings
1 edition of prints (7 colors, edition of 10)
On top of that I'm (still) stressing about money and (still) trying to find a job... jeez. If I hadn't had passed my advancement I'd be in a bad spot right now.
Passed my advancement. On to the next mountain!
[insert any Andrew WK song here]
Finished the shirts today... so rad. This horrible cameraphone photo really doesn't do em justice. I feel like they might be even more rad because Russ saw a homeless man naked at the FAB while I was making these. True story. Also true: the police dispatcher was all like, "oh my goodness" when I called campus police. I forget why I think that made the shirts cooler, but it totally does for serious.
Also, Russ got some throwing knives the other day and I finally found a place in town that sells Luckies. Aaaaand that's about all that's been going on lately, I've been too broke to get into anything cool lately. HOPEFULLY THESE SHIRTS WILL CHANGE THAT LOL (I mean gee that worked so well with my last post)
things are kinda looking up lately...
job interview Friday

THE ELECTION IS FINALLY OVER THANK YOU GOD
anyway, back to work, i gotta get some more work done on my painting before tomorrow
another cameraphone dump:
Looks like I'm gonna be up all night finishing up my project for my egg tempera class... oh boy. You know, I really didn't think this semester was going to be this stressful. Kind of a nice change of pace, but jeez. Also, I still don't have a job, but right now I'm not sure how I'd balance it out with school anyway. Not to say I'm not worried about being fucking broke though. Cause I am.
bleh, back to work.
you must shake its body and check
if it's still alive; be gone to sleep
Where has Chris been? Short answer: school. Long answer: lots of school. Also, I just haven't felt like writing anything in a while, and nothing exciting's really happened anyway.
One nice thing today was a $100 shopping spree at the art store when my teacher let me go spend my lab fees for the two classes I have with her. In a lot of classes you never see those fees really spent on anything at all, and in the rest the teachers use them for communal supplies, so it was nice to spend my money on things for myself. I've done it once before, but it was only $25 then, so it was actually pretty daunting today, especially trying to spend the whole hundo at once. I got some brushes and some small odds and ends but I spent most of the money on silkscreen supplies and paper. Dan and I are planning on setting up a mini silkscreen lab at the warehouse, since Dan's already got a table and clamps in there, and the BFA director told us she'd try to get the school to pay for the materials to build an exposure unit. Probably going to check out some plans and go price that stuff sometime over the weekend.
Tomorrow's First Friday and Dan and I are planning on getting our hair cut at the warehouse as a faux-performance art piece. Mostly we're just in it for the free hair cuts our friend is giving us. Should be a little weird, a little funny.
Also, I'm going to try to lay off smoking for a week. It was nice at first when it was just a casual, social thing, but these last couple weeks of school have been way too stressful and lately I've been up to like 4 or 5 a day. Not too bad compared to some folks, but its enough to make me decide to take a little break.
And now, as I go off to sleep, the song I woke up with in my head:
What a busy week. Lots of schoolwork, lots of homework, and even some non-school related work. Didn't go to my job at all, though.
My BMSR album came in this week, the cover is scratch n sniff and it smells like tomato soup.
Staying up late because I don't want tomorrow to come and make me have to go to work. I have a feeling it's not going to be a great shift tomorrow.
Spent the morning finishing up a drawing for the show today, then headed off to the warehouse to hang it. Spent most of the rest of the day there. First Friday was lots of fun, even though none of my closest friends were there since most of them are out of town or working this weekend; I hung out with lots of outer-circle folks instead and still had a pretty good time, so no loss. The turnout was huge, I guess because it was the first FF of the fall semester. It'd be nice if it that many people showed up every time, but it'll probably start to wind down as the year goes on.
Almost went to a house party after the warehouse closed, but went home and passed out for an hour instead. I woke up and realized I had only had one meal all day, so I got up made some supper and watched the last half of Trains, Planes, & Automobiles on TV. Just been postponing the inevitable since then, staying up messing around online. Yawn.
Heard this at St. Michael's last night, capped off a pretty tiring school week:
