(no subject)
Public transit rocks. Granted, it's only my second day of using said means of transportation, but thusfar I enjoy it. No parking hassles. No driving stress. And rides home from generous "with-parking-pass" types. Also gives me a handy excuse to not do things, such as go back to work, or go shopping for supplies. Plus I think I'm going to put the x-mas money towards my new s/s, along with the $70 I'm saving on parking. So many components with that dough! Now to online shopping...
On another note, I think I'm graduating winter quarter next year now. And after being in advertising design today, I think I'm going to die. That class is going to be REALLY hard, and so is illustration. And painting is going to require lots of lugging around of stuff. And speech is going to be not fun. So all in all I'm looking at a crappy quarter.
Bought a handful of art supplies today, ended up around $80. Sucks, but I think my parents might pick it up. Also discovered that the binder-ring type grid notebooks are about a buck, instead of $5 for the stupid single subject college ruled variety. Awesome. I like cheaper, weirder stuff anyways. For some reason it seems easier to sketch in... no defined boundaries maybe? A sea of tiny boxes instead of directing lines, and the weird title/margin border lines? Whatever. I get too excited about little things like that.
Steve told me about a silkscreening place to check out, hopefully I can hook up some cool ink colors. It's in Portland though, we'll see if I can figure somethin out. Charge-send? You wouldn't think it would be this hard to find inks and stuff in SMALL quantities. I don't want 5 gallons for $50.
Uhmmm... what other lame stuff can I tell you about...
I wore my red Ferrari shirt today?
I think Erik and I are going to see the life aquatic and then heading down to pint night. Gonna go hang out, come home relatively early so I can make it to work.
Oh yeah, one of my teachers (Katie) told me to cut my hair so it looks cute like last quarter. Apparently it's not cute anymore. Why does SHE and my MOM like my hair like this? It's a TRANSITIONAL STAGE. I DON'T LIKE IT. It's MID SHAG. Oh, and chalk up another person who didn't recognize me with my glasses on. Chelsea. Friggin weird, they really are clark kent / peter parker glasses. They make me invisible. They are magic. And as a funny aside, the reason I'm wearing my glasses is because my contacts hurt. My contacts hurt because I got something on them when I took them out last night. And the something I got on them was Raid I think. Probably not good.
Later.
Greg: "Hooray the supermodel's boyfriend is dead!"
Alex: "Greg, that's fucked up" (with laughter)
Greg: "I'm looking out for YOUR best interests man! You need a supermodel girlfriend!"
Alex: "I agree Greg"
Greg: "Especially one with a shattered pelvis so you can make her have sex with elephants and stuff!"
