Okay, so summer art school is over and holy wow it was a blast and a challenge and stressful and fun as fucking hell. I'd like to think that I learned a lot but in general I am still very dissatisfied with my art. That's probably not going to change for a while.
I haven't written anything in so long...I don't really know what to catch up on so screw that, I just won't. Um.
OZ. I have just discovered this television series and it is pretty much my dream prison drama. I've always been interested by crime and punishment and all that, and this show just pushes all the right buttons for me. Also I don't have cable, so I usually get fairly clean television... Oz is almost refreshing in how graphic it gets, but for the most part it's written in a mature and plot-conscious way so it's not nearly as gratiutous or obnoxious as it could be. All in all, thumbs up. Awesome series so far (I'm in the middle of the fourth season).
Jeez, I watch too much TV. I don't know how I'm going to get any schoolwork done this coming year with all of the show I need to keep track of.
Oh, I also saw The Dark Knight (this is spoiler-free). Thought it was maybe twenty or thirty minutes too long or not paced as well as it could have been (started getting antsy about two hours through), but thought it was a good movie on the whole and of course loved the Joker. This is the first time I've ever been able to take him seriously as a character and a villain in any sort of take on him, so props. My only real complaint is that I don't think they dealt with Harvey Dent as well as they could have, especially his part at the end, but you win some, you lose some. But I liked it a lot, so whatever.
Man, I suck at socializing. I should start talking to people again soon, though, now that the excuse of summer school is over. INSECURITY.
