livejournal: now packed with 58% more andrea!
well, hallo! happy february, the month of looooove. i'm not actually a huge fan of v-day, but i guess i have to support any holiday that encourages more love. and chocolate. ok, i like valentines. nm...
anywho, i'm in total denial about my impending midterm, so here i am. you know i'm procrastinating if this sucka gets updated. but really, i always wait, and then i feel like i need to have a massive update. ok, so i'll start out with this:
smoking manners you may remember one of these from an update i did while in japan, but this is the whole shebang of hilarity.
now, on a sad note:
drug smuggling puppiesthe world is now going to hell. forget the hamas government in palestine. forget a conservative supreme court (tho... credit is due to alito for siding against capital punishment today!). puppies are now being used as mules to smuggle herion, and die from the infection.
hmmm, what else? kafein has been ok, i'm not getting as many waitress hours as i'd like, which is ridonculous, cause i pull down like 25-29% tips everynight. gosh darnit, people like me to bring them their coffee! painting class is phenomenal - it's a ton of work though. i'll never mock those slacker modern artists who just splash paint around, much easier! ok, so i just mocked.
i heart tuesdays. caleb and i have chinese politics together till 5:30, then we get out, smoke, eat and go to our wine appreciation course!!! ha! first day was yesterday, and i had a ball. painting and wine - i'm a klassy laday. then kenji and i went out, and i ran into my chinese politics prof and his friend, a journalist at the financial times in beijing. so we chatted a while and then we left.
flying home in one week for a visit! 8 feb - 14 feb! jeff is gettin a goood b-day present: ME!!!! i'm excited, tho flyin's a biatch. at least i got to use my free ticket.
oooh, no pics of my pretty self to speak of, but here's some selects from my photojournalism class last quarter!!
so, none of these are my finals, which were color corrected etc, which is a bummer... but lemme know what you think. photojournalism in particular was hard, because it's all about capturing a moment, but at the same time we were learning how to just use the camera!
this one is from my final project, where i went to the anti-cruelty society downtown, where they had just recieved the first animals from hurricane katrina. i followed them through their temprament screening, vet and up to adoption! this guy, stormy, was so cute. this doll moved around and talked on its own - he was appropriately just as creeped out as i was by the devil doll:
the kitties from katrina:
this was my prof's fav i did. i like old men. i wish i could be one when i grow up. or a chinese communist in the late 70s. or just live anytime in the 60s.
bed man!
roommate!
my midterm project was to document a chicago neighborhood, and i chose devon, the indian/pakistani area. best buffet in the country. this is shaheer. he is five.
this is his little bro and his gramma:
that is all.
oh, and i hate to rep new music, cause i feel all poser-eltist, but as far as classic rock goes, its all been heard. so, you too should hear the album: the kinks are the villiage green preservation society. by the kinks. i've been playing it at work everytime and all are happy.
