Looking at the Loan Numbers...
Sometimes I read too deeply into things. I like to run numbers on things just because I'm either bored or it entertains me to do the math. Tonight, I looked at my student loans and I found out that the interest, which is compounded continuously, accrues just under $2 every day. So every month my student loan costs me $60 in interest, which doesn't sound too bad. I did some more math and found out that if I keep paying $300 a month (Which I have been since March of 2005), I'll have completely paid off my $17,125 loan in August of 2010. Also, because the interest is calculated less each month (Because less of the loan is left), every month I pay exactly $1 less in interest than the month before.
Confused? Care any? Me neither. Moving on.
This entry sports a brand new Buster Bunny icon. The image of Buster himself came from a mid-90's deck of children's Valentine's Day cards. The caption surrounding the rabbit was, "You've got some bunny under your spell." To freshen it up, I gave Buster a thick black stroke outline and added yellow waves of circles growing from his weary head. It'll go a long way to provoking a sense of dazed aloofness. It's also an image I'm surprised I never exploited before, as it was sitting here in a scrapbook right under my nose for a whole decade.
Speaking of scrapbooks, I'm once again working on an art collage. Going back through all my journal entries, it appears I never once mentioned any of my collages. Just after high school, I began making these poster-sized collages as a way to be artistic with advertising I would have otherwise recycled. The first one I made was a collage of dozens of pictures of Macintosh computers from magazines and pamphlets. You can see it by clicking here: First Macintosh Collage. Pretty, no? Over the years, they became more sophisticated and less sloppy. You can see all five at my online portfolio under the Artwork column at http://www.adamrose.name/Main/Portfolio.html. So for my sixth collage, my first since the Nintendo collage was made in December of 2004, I will be taking late-90's English-language Anime magazines and mulching them up into a powerhouse art piece. I should have it done by the end of the week, we shall see.
Ohh yea, happy DAY OF THE BEAST!! 06/06/2006!! MUAHAHAHAA
