Happy twenty-first wedding anniversary, mom and dad! I love you both! Who knew anyone could find love at a Wendy's drive-through window? (and 294 days until BrickFair!!)
I'm having a slightly difficult time properly describing my absolute loathing of allergies right now. I need more Zicam. And, keep helping me with my graphics class final project, please and thank you!
...until the bus broke down at midnight. We got back home at four thirty in the morning. Good times! And, while at the meet, this guy came up to me and was like, "Hey! How did you do today?", but for the life of me, I couldn't figure out who he was even though he seemed to know who I was. He seemed really familiar, though. I think he may go to a school in our conference, so he should be at the conference meet in two weeks, so I'll see if I run into him there. And speaking of in two weeks, hope
Ok, so I left my painting class this evening a half an hour early, as my professor sent me home due to me breaking down into tears of frustration over struggling with getting a solid idea for my painting final, along with a complete feeling of overwhelm from my other classes, finals that are looming ahead of me, track, work, radio show: basically life in general. Then I came on here and find this and this. This pretty much made me cry some more (but it was good crying, I swear!) just because
Just got done watching the live stream of U2's concert at the Rose Bowl. It was absolutely phenomenal! The entire stadium looked like a miniature galaxy. This is why I love U2 and their music so much. That was absolutely magnificent. (and U284 days until BrickFair!!)
Read about it here, and make sure you abide by the blog rules, please and thank you! Two of my roommates and I got the house we were hoping to rent for next year. It's so cool: a pink victorian-style house with stained glass windows everywhere! The thing now is that we have to decide who gets what room. The problem is is that we're all slightly indecisive/don't really have a preference. We could technically all sleep quite comfortably in the second floor loft and then use the downstairs rooms
Eeeee. So cool. I just need to vault four more inches higher than that and I'll have a ticket to Nationals in May. And WOAH. It's reallllly bizarre to be nationally ranked. Or to be suddenly leading the conference for pole vault. Or to even have finally jumped higher than 10' where I was stuck at for a while. Hey everyone: The entry period deadline for Pimp My Blog 2 is coming up tonight! If you've redesigned your blog for it but haven't posted it yet in the entry topic, make sure you do so.
I've received some random texts in the last 24 hours, but this one from my friend Jordan really got me. Jordan: "I had a dream where Franzen glued a mullet wig to my head and then threw me in the air a bunch of times for an art project. His son befriended a pack of wolves." Hahaha. Franzen was our Arts and Comm. teacher during our senior year of high school. Interpret this as you will.
Omgomgomgomg TRON LEGACY. Based on the preview trailers I've seen it looks like it's going to be SO GOOD. AND THE LIGHT CYCLES. THE LIGHT CYCLES LOOK SO FREAKING AMAZING AND AWESOME AND OMG. TRONTRONTRONTRON. Not that I'm excited or anything. And: check out the BZPower tshirt project going on over in EW's blog. Like the BrickFair Mosaic Project (which you should also check out and get involved in), for either of these projects to be successful, we'll need lots of member involvement! Plus
Math that is in the form of word problems kind of makes me want to stab things. And every single one of these math problems is a word problem. And this is supposed to be math that should be teaching me how to teach math to elementary school students and the majority of them are examples of math problems that said students should be able to solve, yet it's making no sense to me. Argh! (and 309 days until BrickFair!)
Woah! We just had a blackout. It wouldn't have been so unusual if it had just been one hall in my dorm, but it was the entire campus and most of the town. After a few moments of confusion as to what on earth was going on, one of my roommates and I went out in the hall and found out that there were a few emergency lights out there that had turned on (yay!). For whatever reason unknown to me, I decided to go outside and at that point and realized that the stars looked amazing. Then I promptly ra
So I entered BBC Contest 61. When all of the Bionicle pieces I currently own can fit in a 8"x3"x4" box and not even fill it halfway. And I've never MOCed anything using Bionicle pieces before. Unless you count building a Bohrok from memory at LEGOLand when I was twelve. Go comment or something. Also go and comment and later vote on this one too. It's crazy manly cool.
Go congratulate Arpy because he's one of the winners in the blog contest. Woo hoo and good job! And go look at how completely adorable the kitten Lady K got is. Like, he is the cutest little fuzzy kitty. So cute! Stupid people are doing stupid things in my life (again) and this time they've brought something I thought they were done and over arguing about months ago. In other words, with this frustration back again, thank goodness for good true friends who don't ditch you and hate you over
This crazy shirt quilt I'm making is so crazy that my cat Hobbes decided to take a nap on the pieces that I currently have laid out on the floor: Sewing is the most incredibly difficult thing, I've realized. However, if I get this done, I'm going to have something awesome for my bed in my dorm room. (and 332 days until BrickFair!)
If you have read this entry or ChocolateFrogs' entry, you will know that CF and I are devising a plan to make an epic mosaic that will be Bionicle-related to be shown at BrickFair 2010, where each different square plate of it was made by different people who had either confirmed that they were attending BrickFair or BZP members who were going to make a plate at home and then mail in before the start of BrickFair. Currently, we are still searching for an image that would be idea to use for the
A friend in ND is me very giggly via instant messenger. It is good to talk to longtime friends! And now my computer is playing "Crash" by Dave Matthews Band. Yessss. THE DAY JUST GOT REALLY GOOD.
I love Chris Van Allsburg's books and illustrations so much, hence the new side links. I'm starting to work on my final for my drawing class right now, and I realized that I wish I could try to incorporate some of his drawing style into my own work. It has such a dream-like feel to it, while also appearing so realistic, and I think it might help the overall look of this drawing. And, I'm not really sure what has triggered this newfound desire to rediscover all the books I grew up reading as a
First thing: BrickFair Mosaic Project! We've got the Onua mosaic up now, which is filling up slowly but surely, but there's still several pieces left that need claiming. My brother is graduating in less than three weeks from high school (woo!), so I'm working on a card for him. He loves VW Beetles and bough one last year, so I figured a card of his VW with a graduation cap would be something he'd like quite a lot. (lazy webcam shot because I didn't want to uncover my scanner from under a
I really do not understand that movie. And it was my first time watching it, because my three roommates were all "What?! You HAVEN'T seen this movie??? Ok, now we have to watch it" and I'm like "Uhhhhhhhhhhhhh......k". Then again, I had the same reaction when I watched Clueless this past December. That entire movie made no sense to me either. I swear, did this extreme lack of these style of 90s and early 2000s movies just make it so when I finally do get around to watching them, I'm just like
I am now the owner of a lamp that looks kind of like the Pixar one, a picture frame, Cranium: Turbo Edition, some random silverware, an iron, a retro-looking wall clock, and two pizza pans. This is all due to my friend Zach, who came back to grab something he forgot during the move out of his room and we came to the discovery that the last person to move out of the room (our RA) decided that he was just going to ignore the huge pile of garbage he had left in the room, as well as everything in
For the first time in ages. Eep. So click the picture and check it out, please? And some school art for my argumentative writing class. We had to design an ad or commercial that was either a spoof or satire of an existing product or commercial, or design a new product that uses absurd logic to sell itself. My roommates and I were watching the Olympics, and one of them pointed out how odd it was that Diet Coke was supporting a heart health program when drinking their product (especially in ext
Same old, same old, go here to the Brickfair Mosaic Project and claim those last few pieces, please and thank you! I'm still doing homework. My brother is graduating from high school today and I just finished painting his card (which I would get some photos of, but he won't leave the house at the moment). I'm slightly annoyed at some people. I miss some other people. And what's the point of doing some things if it just gets forgotten in the overall scheme of a plan, anyway? Ticket prices and
Forgot that I even made this until I saw a few cool panoramics of a bridge pedal that some friends and I did last summer. Though, I don't think I really even showed many of the BrickFest pictures that I took on here to begin with....odd. Linked, because it would probably make the screen strecth all wonky if I put it here.
It's also sixty degrees out. And super sunny. Which means I'm stuck inside doing homework. *sigh*
