here we go

hey
i got my problem with niu's bursar taken care of at the end of last week. then over the weekend my apartment got flooded. so that is great. luckily nothing was really damaged. and there was some miscommunication between faculty and me about a visiting artist.but last week also brought a visit from my parents, the film burn after reading and a visit from my cousin and his girlfriend. and thoughts on new works. so hopefully i'll be posting some pictures soon.

that last title was a little wrrong

that last post was a little bit of me freaking out but was mostly just me being slightly mad at the state of things here at grad school. the biggest issue i have is that no one seems to know what they are doing but the other bigger problem i have is with the federal government creating a new regulation for the disbursement of financial aid. so i am now currently broke (completely). so that always makes for a worry free day. anyways i have some ideas for new work but am questioning whether or not grad school is exactly where i need to be considering i am not so sure i fit into the "fine" art world but i think i am going to plow full (or mostly full) steam ahead and just sort of ram my work down the gullets of these "fine" artists.

oh holy crap i should be doing something else

hey everybody(the 2 people who read this) hope you are fairing better than i. i am currently in dekalb. i just started the grad program this week and it is one of the worst things i have ever had the misfortune to start (but i am positive it will get better if only people begin to understand what they are doing) i also started my grad assistantship which is so far worse than the actual grad school part of going to grad school (always something to put things into perspective) i really wish i had the time to post more right now but i am excited about tomorrow being my last day of class this week so i should be able to make it to my studio at some point this weekend and should be able to tell(and show) you all what went down at San Diego Comic-Con international this summer and let you all in on more of my craptastic adventure in dekalb.
meh

Mo

hey
i just saw wall.e . it was great. the movie was one of the most visually stunning works i have seen in a long time.it was also a touching story. i think i fought back tears at least once. i may be a big softy (not unlike a teddy bear). anyways. i highly recommend it. one of the best pixar films i have seen and the opening cartoon was hilarious. i cried laughing. oh and my favorite line from the film was "mo"
so hopefully i can make the rest of my evening as awesome as the start was.
good times
