I need sentences for my drawing final. I'll take a few of them that I like, and create them into finalized drawings. Guidelines: -Make up sentences. They cannot be from a pre-existing book, magazine, movie, poem, etc. -No established characters if there is a person in the sentence. If you're going to have a person in it, make them up. -Nothing inappropriate (i.e., follow BZP rules here) These are some examples from Chris Van Allsburg's book The Mysteries of Harris Burdick that kind of follow
Maddison reached new echeladder achievement rung! Maddison achieved graduation approval extraordinaire! (except now I don't know when I graduate because of masters degree requirements that I haven't met and would need to do since I'm trying to get into their graduate program)
These pumpkins! Spritz cookies in the shape of pumpkins! First Thanksgiving away from home, but my friends Christine and Jon had a Thanksgiving dinner with a bunch of people who weren't able to go home or live here and didn't have a Thanksgiving dinner in town to go to. While eating, we watched part of Madagascar 2, part of Elf, and all of The History of the World Part 1. And then we yelled at commercials for being silly. I made the aforementioned spritz cookies (which turned out very s
The last four years of college have led to me making some pretty ridiculous/awesome Halloween costumes, so I decided to make an entry that lumped all of them together with what I did this year. 2008: Sarah Palin! 2009: Newspaper dress! This dress successfully won me a mountain bike in a costume contest. It helped that I uttered the phrase "finally there's something good in the newspaper" to the judges. 2010: Nike, Goddess of Victory! Plus Steve Prefontaine, Coach Radcliff, and Kenjon Bar
The track team is having a Thanksgiving dinner tonight, so I decided to make a dessert. Except they had cranberries at Grocery Outlet for really cheap, so I was like "Oh man I bet I can totally make awesome homemade cranberry sauce and it will be awesome so let's just ignore that I've never made it before". So, I'm sort of basing this off of the recipe on the back of the cranberry package, and then another I found online. The final product was supposed to be made of: -1 cup water -12oz bag c
Zach went four for four in his medals! He just had the craziest kick in the last 50m of the 400m and snagged the bronze!! I am so excited to eventually see him competing as an Paralympian.
I'm not sure why there were a bunch (seemingly random staff) blogs that were pinned. I fixed it though. I don't know if it was a glitch or something else or what, but the problem is currently solved!
Getting skin to look a proper light grey is difficult. Especially when in a few days, it's going to be from my knees down and then my face/neck, and a good part of my arms/shoulders. I don't know if I can go with a spot on Audrey Hepburn either. It just figures that I have a tiara at home, but the whole cigarette tube/pearls/Hepburn-esque glasses(?)/black heels/get a wig and style it to make it big and poofy along with the lack of tiara is kind of putting a damper on this. (dear WalMart a
Three of my favourite photos I took during last weekend's football game at my college. Expect a lot more of this. I was hired at the end of September as the athletic department's main photographer for home games and whatever other assignments they throw at me. Sports are exciting, especially when photographed in a quality and visually compelling way. Go us.
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa aaaaaaaaaaaaaa aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA Going to bed because "I showed up late to class because I was too busy flipping out over a webcomic update" is not an acceptable excuse to my professor.
I went grocery shopping today. Partially because I am hungry and partially because this is the only time during the weekdays that I can go. As I have no car and the distance from home to WalMart is not an ideally walkable distance due to headwinds both ways (which is a legitimate thing here), I take the thing that has been deemed "public transit" in this town, which is a bus that runs to several different stops once an hour that will leave you stranded if you are not precisely on time to the sto
Or, "wait, we just did all this work this term only for our professor to tell us that we're not going to have a gallery show because he didn't try to find a place big enough for us to display our work despite knowing that the original place he had in mind would not work even though they've done the Junior Seminar show there for the past several years? Awesome." My contribution of this Junior Seminar class gallery show that never happened was based on past memories and how memories go "missing"
Check it. Seems to take a while to fully load (maybe to liken back to 1996 internet speeds?), but it might just be my computer. I am starting a wizards on bikes brigade. Put them in your signature, put them in your blog, wherever. Just make sure you follow the signature and avatar guidelines, especially the "signatures can contain up to ten images" one.
How to commemorate the 99th anniversary of the Titanic colliding with an iceberg and sinking the next day, causing 1,517 people to die: 1) Play "My Heart Will Go On" by Celine Dion, because it's that one theme song from the Titanic movie, everyone knows that even if they haven't seen it, duh! 2) Play "Cold As Ice" By Foreigner, because, you know, everyone falls into the water and they are cold. Cold as ice in fact! 3) Play "White Flag" by Dido, because she's all "I will go down with this ship"
Seventy-something frame gif I made of me putting up nearly all of my art from my freshman and sophomore years of college over the course of at least three hours for my art program admission last fall. Kind of mad that I couldn't fit everything I set up in the frame, as there was a bunch more on easels to the left:
A reminder: Spoiler tags are not to be used in the blogs unless it is hiding information that requires spoiler tags (storyline info, web content, new sets, etc.) as per the BZP spoiler policy here. Oh no!, you say. What will I do if I can't hide all of my blog approvals/large amounts of quotes/photos/crazy storyline info in my blog entries and content boxes behind spoiler tags? You can: 1. Deep link to each image, blog approval, topic, etc. 2. Create a blog entry, lock the entry, edit the
I just discovered that their "fruit flavor" one tastes better when you're eating Sour Patch Kids at the same time, which really helps when you're trying to finish off the last 3/4 of a liter of it. Also, whew! Really glad people can ford rivers.
