Amate Omnia
One of my roommates has been trying to make me like rap and hip hop music for a couple of weeks, which hasn't been working. Or hadn't been, I guess, because today I randomly heard "I'm 'n Luv (Wit a Stripper)" and immediately fell in love with it.
My roommate is kind of pissed, because all I'm listening to now is that song and Get Down by B4-4, which is also from the Gossip Gay soundtrack, and is also also so incredibly bad that it is like a work of art.
This is almost as bad as when I came back from winter break completely obsessed with The Ping Pong Song by Erique Iglesias. The playlist on the iPod at the time started playing during a party, and it was Ani Difranco, Spice Girls, acoustic reggae songs and that.
Anyway, I finally bought paints, and then I put off using them for weeks because anything more complex than colored pencils intimidates me art-wise. But I finally did get them out a few nights ago and now I'm addicted; the paintings are all shit, don't get me wrong, but I'm honestly having fun, and not worrying about whether anything I'm making is impressive or good quality art or whatever, which is nice. I don't own any canvas or canvas paper or anything and I was too cheap to buy it, so I'm just painting in my sketchbook, and pretty much any available item in the house, because one page in the sketchbook has to dry before I can get to the next one, and I get impatient.
When I eventually actually hook up the printer that I bought last year, I might scan some of the colored pencil drawings I did for my family for christmas.
Random side note, does anyone who was in Humanities (Candace and Shannen I think you guys are the only people from that class that I know on here, so I guess do either of you) still have their notes on "The Wasteland?" Because I know we spent what felt like a month going over it line by line, and took ridiculously detailed notes on all of it... and I lost my copy of it. The intro (or... I don't know, the beginning) was in Latin, and I think Dr. Chris gave us the translation. It was about Sybil, the woman who asked for immortality and got it, but without eternal youth, and so her body still degraded... something like that? Does anyone still have the translation Dr. Chris gave us? Because I tried to translate it as literally as I could from Latin and I want to compare, haha.
