From behind she resembled a broken vase, or an unfinished mountain
I have this undeniable urge to do as much this semester as possible, to the point where if I spend relaxing I feel like I'm throwing away my day. So why do I feel so unbelievably unproductive when I spent the entire weeking working? Its as if when something is classified as 'homework' it automatically stops counting as a creative enterprise. It doesn't matter if I was planning to do the project outside of class anyway, the second it gets lumped in with a class it doesn't count towards this quota of work I feel I have to do in my free time.
Neuroses aside, I'm pretty happy with the stuff I'm making right now. I think I'll be able to put most of it online, in fact I'd kind of like to redesign my old website and host all these various animation projects there. Hell, that can be my out of class work.
I can honestly say that Sufjan Stevens is the best thing to happen to me musically in over a year. Discribing how Illinois or Michigan make me feel is an almost impossible task. You know how music can sometimes feel so good, be so perfect that you just want to take it in all at once? How a seven minute song can be so absolute right that you just want it to keep going on and on and on, or alternatively be reduced to a single second that you could experiance all at once? How a CD can somehow describe everything about your world better than you possibly could just by placing songs in just the right order? How the most ridiculous of lyrics can be turned into poetry by the addition of a single note? There are always perfect CD's for the various points in our lives, and right now Illinois could not be more right.
I haven't really finished moving into my room yet, so I'm in the process of doing that now. I'm a huge, huge pack rat so its always a lot of fun to all the various crap I've saved op over the past few years. I think I'm goign to start posting some of the better writings / drawings.
