I could watch this kid forever.
School and art and everything are being sort of stressful right now. So... sometimes you need to take a step back into something beautiful to get your mind off of everything you're doing wrong. Took a serious listen to Radiohead's In Rainbows today. I love how layered this band's sound is. While at first a few songs seems a bit over the top and not as subtle as what I'm used to from them (Bangers and Mash, for one), I have no doubt that they'll grow on me later. Most of them I love already. I love music like this, music that you can listen to over and over and still find something new and inspiring in it. Also, here's an interview with the band that was really pleasing to read. Made me smile, anyways. Sometimes I hesitate at reading about my favorite bands or artists because I'm afraid that they'll turn out to be jerks and it'll mess up their art for me.
I've been painting lately for school. Like, with real paint. I'm not very good at it, but it's pretty calming, which is nice. It's a little awkward for me to look at right now...my drawings are just realistic enough for traditional fine art techniques to sort of work, but simplified/stylized enough to throw the whole thing off. It's... odd.
Everything's either moving too fast or too slow right now. Or the wrong things are coming too fast and the right things are too slow. There's less than a month left of school and summer-itis has set in. I need to make myself do my homework.
BUT WHO THE HELL CARES. I HAVE A SLINKY AND IT MAKES ME HAPPY.
