Kate Winslet has "an occasionally Rubinesque figure"??? WHAT? Are you SERIOUS? I feel like that is not an appropriate term for a healthy bodied woman. When I hear Rubenesque I think of like, some srs chub. Observe:

Chubby, by some forgiving modern standards. Probably about average in Ruben's day.

Definitely not your typical hollywood actress-sized, but she's fit and curvy and lovely. That seems less akin to Ruben and more towards, dare I say, classical sculpture.

People need to get their fucking perceptions in order.

In other news, the show went fine. I found all the clothes I needed (about 20 minutes before my class....) and we won overall! Go PSET! Stupid F&M thinking they can beat us and fuck Gettysburg bitches talking shit. I got third place! OUT OF FIVE. I BEAT TWO PEOPLE :D It was weird though. I know I'm in the walk-trot class, but...we literally only walked and trotted. They didn't even ask us to two-point, much less sit trot. I was kind of disappointed. My two point and sit trot have gotten better!! But then again, maybe it's better we didn't lol.
Aaaaaand have I ever mentioned how icky it is that the designated smoking area is 5 floors directly below my window? My room smells like smoke. Blech.
Finally, I have off from figure drawing tomorrow (election day) so before geology (at 230...) I am going to 1) go to the HUB bookstore and buy the beautiful Alfons Mucha book they had on clearance for $15 (assuming I can get there through the hordes of voters) and 2) go back to the ceramics building and try to make a freaking cylinder. My first two broke while I was throwing them (the same way both times....grrr throwing) and I started making a crappy cup instead (it's crappy). I am warning everyone now, all of my friends are getting ugly, lumpy cups for christmas. you're welcome.
