So... first off, I have to say that I'm a little sad about Anna Nicole Smith. I thought she was a fucked up blonde fluzie, but she fuckin' earned every bit of celebrity she had. And dammit she had star power. Seriously. It's just so tragic that something like that makes for the sordid fairytale ending you'd expect of such a character in Hollywood.

LJ, killed my post last night. It was pretty painful that it happened because I had a lot to say. None of it seems relevant now, though. I should be working on my art direction project, but I honestly have no idea what the hell I'm supposed to have done. I went to Wal-Mart and bought a bunch of solid t-shirts, but of course they didn't have the colors I really needed, so I'm going to have to rework my project to accommodate.
While at Wal-Mart, I was so absolutely stoked to find a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 13 inch TV, CD/Stereo boom box, and portable CD player. I was talking to my mom on the phone at the time, and she said I could treat myself to the stereo. It was only $30, so I snagged it right away. They also had several cool action figures (including Casey Jones, Splinter, Raphael, and April O'Neil -- whom I seriously considered buying). But they're like $10 each, so I decided not to get any.
Linsey invited me over for dinner after edboard tonight. It was cool, although I hate that our meetings always take up so much time. I didn't get to see any of the other dinner guests because they'd all gone by the time I arrived. I mean, Linsey's a good friend, but I like hanging around other art & design kids too. Sometimes I just feel like I can't completely relate to the newspaper kids. I don't know who the fuck Sue Weil or Kym Fox or any of those other mass comm professors are, and I could really care less. I'm NEVER going to have a class with them. I feel out of the loop whenever people talk about them, and I feel ignorant when they expect me to know how important it is to impress these people.
It's like when I'm commenting on how difficult a project is for Jeff Davis's class, I'm met with blank stares and told, "Well at least your projects are fun..." I'm sorry, but FUN? Yeah, it's what I love to do, but after having to work all night at the Star then go home at 2 a.m. and expect to get the creative juices flowing to come up with 36 designs for one project....? That is NOT fun. I'm sorry journalism isn't the gigglefest you expected, but at least you're in your element. Mass Comm advisers, professors, classmates... I don't think Comm Des profs even READ the Star, which sucks for me (and my designers) because they're the ones we need to impress.

Today, I finally pulled down my Christmas tree. I vacuumed the apartment, and did the dishes. I SHOULD have done laundry as well. My bed is crammed with junk I had to pull off the floor, so I'll probably be sleeping on the couch tonight. I really should go to bed now, but I need to at least LOOK at my art direction stuff.
.....
Yesterday, I completely forgot to turn in my paper for my Design Seminar class. I also completely forgot to pay my rent, so that was a week late. I swear the Alzheimer's is setting in early. Damned hippocampus.
