Well apparently my friend Robyn from my Russian class had a party like a year ago for the end of class, and Hyoungsup was invited, and guess what?!?!?! Hyoungsup smokes weed! This makes me so so so happy! And it also explains so many things (see

here. It's just a shame that I was only informed of it today, because SUPPOSEDLY I was invited to this party (psshhhh! whatev). I have been PROMISED that I will be informed of any future Hyoungsup-under-the-influence events, and I will, obviously, provide a first-hand account on this here journal.
I also plan to make an art project out of my Hyoungsup e-mails at some point. I'm thinking a series of illustrated booklets based on each e-mail. We'll see...I have so many ideas for projects and SO not enough time! I'm also pretty psyched about my toilet paper sculpture which is only in its initial stage of production, and my mini-Trans-Siberian Railroad (get it? eh, eh? It's the absolute opposite of anything that should ever be mini-sized), and my newest idea for a series of something (paintings? prints?) of odd-looking and/or bioluminescent deep-sea fish, a la The Cabinet of Natural Curiosities. Lately I've been feeling really liberated in the freaky art-making department, if you couldn't tell. I'm happy with that, though.
p.s. - today I saw Hyoungsup in the elevator in Parlin and I told him I was sick the other day, and he looked really concerned and he goes "WHO did this to you?" and I was like, "Why, are you going to beat them up?" and then he just laughed. I am conflicted about whether that is amusing or creepy...
