(no subject)
It's been a while. I've been neglecting the live journal ... a sign perhaps that I am more solective of what I share online perhaps ... which is, in turn, a sign of maturity? No, ... I do not need people in constant cahoots of my life, I simply don't mind having it open to an internet public. I think maybe a good way to start it up is with an old +/- chart.
THE PLUSES
+ Alison graduated from Vet school today. She is offically Dr. Alison Elizabeth Turnbull. The graduation ceremony was well timed. It was observant to the graduating class's accomplishments without being overly emotional. On top of that, it rained while we were in the tent and it was nice and sunny during refreshments. Perfect!
+ I'm back in America and have been here for what I think is around two weeks. I am readjusting well and I have fallen back into the pattern of things here in the USA. Now if we could only impeach the president ... then things would truly be peachy and keen.
+ I've had some quality time with old buds- Bret and Matt particuarly.
+ All my friends in Providence seem to be doing really well. Everyone is happy with school and I am too. I can't wait to get back for senior year and fall back into the habit of orginized classes and critics.
+ I switched my surface from board back to paper with my guache paintings and the result is staggerling! I'm so much better on paper! My new works are already more exciting then what I made in Rome.
+ MOCCA is so soon, which means Apollo Astro #10 ... which I only have 4 pages left to ink in!
+ I got around to watching "Land of the Dead", George E. Rumano's epic fourth zombie movie. While I had my reservations, I thought it was "killer" (knuck, knuck, knuck). Beside the fact that zombies were evolving (I like my zombies brainless thank you very much), it was a fun hour and a half of decadant gore. My hat goes off to lead bad guy Dennis Hopper who does a fine Donald Rumsfeld inpersonation in it.
MINUSES
- After a year of service, my freeware buzzmachines modual synth program seems to have bit the bullet. It crashes every time I try to open it. And I don't have enough space on my hard drive to properly defrag my system ... so the next Jack Turnbull kareokee electronic performance may be in the distant future unless James Ameoba can help me out. If not, geez, there was a LOT of songs I had that were never recorded. I can't wait until graduation when I get a new computer!
- After a lot of hard work drawing wolf men and Spawn like Superheroes, I will NOT be illustrating a physical defense manual for a summer job. Dan LePage, a very respectable young man, decided to hire a more experienced illustrator. I am not insulted however, as I understand I am still very young (in the scheme of this industry) and while I am well experienced beyond my years, it still can't get me enough to do a whole book. But on the flip side, now I have a whole lot of free time.
- I don't have a job until July. But it's all so up in the air, I could go back to Affairs, I may be recieveing teacher's salary at Artworks since Nicholas is gone, I may test video games, I may have another illustration job, I don't know just yet.
- They had a party at my new apartment in Providence and I couldn't attend.
- We had a massive week long flood in Ipswich and we lost a lot of stuff from our basement. Some stuff was really cool and I'd rather not go into it.
- I'm poor.
- I'm poor.
- I'm poor.
whine, whine, whine.
At least I'm awesome.
love,
Jack
