The hills are alive

I know, I know, I forgot about you last night. But I didn't actually forget about you. I remembered you, only after I had "finished"* watching The Sound of Music with my mother, had gotten into bed, and had shut down my computer. So there.

Also, I have an excuse which is that I had been sitting for over 3 hours working on a still life for my drawing class. I think it came out alright. And after that I just wanted to take my mind off of focusing on anything that involved sitting and using hand-eye coordination.

Mark of the artist.

Finished product. It's a heart-shaped ceramic box..if you can't tell.

I'm back in my dorm now. I had to do some major reorganizing because I brought back a bunch of stuff that I had bought and/or forgotten. Trying to get settled. Put a poster up on my wall. Harry Potter of course. Listening to some muffled conversations and the dryer going from down the hall. I'm pretty tired, but it's only 8:40pm. I think I might watch a movie or something. I would go hang out with some friends a few doors over, but like I said, tired.

Skyped with mom, my belly hurt...but she kind of looked like one of those people who gets interviewed for documentaries, but doesn't want to be recognized.

If only her voice had been deepened.

I also got some posters hung at my mom's new apartment, which is nice. It feels a bit more like my room with a Harry Potter poster above my bed.

This is at my dorm though...

Well I think that's about all I have to say. I really want to watch a movie.

Bless your face. Peace off.

*"Finished": I'm not a huge fan of The Sound of Music, mostly because I find it too long for anyone's liking. So I always stop watching after they get married, because that's where the movie should end. At least, in my mind.

Rambling

Wow, almost forgot about you again. This is really awful.

I don't think blogging every day is for me, although I would love to do it. It's not gonna happen.

My computer's battery is at like, 17%. So yeah, this has got to be quick....

Planning to set up the 3 hour still life tomorrow for my drawing class. I'm not sure what I'm going to draw yet...something interesting.

My shoulder is really messed up. I must have pulled a muscle last week when I was moving stuff to the new apartment. But it's been numb and tingly for a while. I'm getting kinda worried.

I also have tons of bruises on my right leg from moving. I bruise fairly easily and the usually stick around for a few weeks. Right now they're all green/yellow with a bit of purple. It looks like I'm in an abusive relationship.

I've been buying a lot of supplies for my 2D project. Hopefully it turns out nice.

My walls at the new apartment are so bare. I haven't put anything up yet really. I kind of wish I had taken a picture of the walls at the old place because I had a pretty sick set up.

Alright. I'm going to bed.

Me and my TARDIS pillow.

lazy

Hey blogger and welcome to my long weekend.

That's right. I'm on the weekend, and at home.

Bought a ton of art supplies today. Set me back around $117. But whatever.

I actually typed waters instead of whatevers. I have no idea why.

I know I really want a Vlog Brothers t-shirt and I also want a Tobuscus t-shirt.

More money.

I shouldn't get them.

I'm pretty tired.

ugggggghhh. I really suck a blogging.

sleeeeeeep

no picture tonight.

bless your face. Peace off.

The Periodic Table of Doctor Who

So I've had my fair share of homework this week. So far it consists of:

Finding 25 examples of the color red

Research which colors Rembrandt used in his palette, record the names, and show examples

Define the following words with illustrations: hue, tone, tint, shade, value, intensity, opaque, transparent

Trace templates onto canvas paper

Draw a 3 hour still life on 18x24'' paper

Begin sketching a copy of something by either de Vinci or Rembrandt

Read chapters 1 & 4 in Guide to Drawing

Pick two examples of 2D art I appreciate

Define 3 terms out of the list given

Read chapter 1 in Art Fundamentals

Begin making lists and sketches for Periodic Table project

Answer questions about Migrant Mother

Read text about Migrant Mother

I haven't finished all of it, but I'm pretty darn close.

The Periodic Table project is pretty cool. We pick any topic we want(I've picked Doctor Who) and make 25 square grids in a periodic table using only black, white, and shades of gray. The catch is, they all have to be in different media. So you can't for instants use acrylic twice, the second one has to have some other medium used as well to make it different. So acrylic with pen, or marker, whatever. It'll be cool.

I got to take a nap today, which was nice. I even had a dream. That I owned a bunny. I really wish I owned a bunny.

Here's one of the things I did today. We just played with materials in class.

Just playing with the material. Done with ink wash and then drawings in pen.

history, janitors, vlog?

I worry sometimes, about people.

The amount of knowledge they have. What they've been taught, versus what they retain. Things that deal with general knowledge, or history. The history of the country you live in. Like knowing about the Great Depression, and when it took place. Or when the Civil War was. I think there are few excuses to not knowing about such events. I would, most certainly, guarantee that the subjects were taught, numerous times, during High School, or Middle School, or Elementary School. I don't want to seem like an asshole if someone doesn't know about these things, but I just think that there is plenty of room for which to store the facts. Room that is possibly taken up by those facts about parabolas, or synthetic division(although it is quite handy). Not important. Unless you wanna be a math teacher. Or a giant boob. Or both.

To make up for my harshness, I'll just say: I got yelled at my Hispanic janitor today. For walking on a floor that was clearly not wet... I just wanted to do my dishes.

I have nothing against Hispanic people. Or janitors. Just don't yell at me for walking on the floor you just mopped but is now dry. And don't clean the girls bathroom while your buddy is cleaning the only other one within 30 feet.

I had to pee.

I cleaned my room and got my stuff together for tomorrow's class. Probably going to make a video to put on the collab channel. Just to get the ball rolling. I don't know what I'll talk about. Probably about getting the ball rolling.

Here's a picture of an unfinished(and never to be finished) still life I did in drawing class:

It took me like 5 minutes to figure out that hand positioning.

Bless your face. Peace off.

Then

Today is the last BEDA for most of my subscriptions. I'm still going though.

So today, I woke up at 6:00am. Like whoa. SUPER EARLY. No one was in the bathroom. It was rather strange, but cool at the same time. For some reason the water was boiling lava hot, which is weird because the rooms are like freezers. I am aware though of the fact that the water temperature has nothing to do with the AC. Or maybe it does. ANYWAY.

I digress.

So I was tired this morning. First class. Went well. Then I had to get my ID, because I couldn't get it yesterday. Then I ate a sandwich.

Then I went to my next class. Which also went well. Got some homework.

Then I came back to my dorm and attempted to cut and peal peaches that were going soft. It was a bummer, I couldn't do anything to save them so I had to throw them away. *sadface*

Then I thought I would take a nap, but instead I decided not to and called my dad instead to keep me from falling asleep. I figured if I didn't take a nap I would be extra tired tonight, go to bed early, and thus, sleep really well in order to get up at 6:00am again. We'll see how that goes.

Then I did some homework while watching some Family Guy, and Angry Beavers on Netflix. Love Angry Beavers. Then when I was done I decided to watch some Demetri Martin comedy, but I ended up nodding off for like 15 minutes.

Then I made dinner.

Then I did, almost, all of my dishes. There was a line. I didn't want to be a water hog.

Then I did more homework.

Now I'm blogging while watching Toby Turner.

This is how I looked this morning:

EEEAAARRRRLLLLLYYYY

Nice. It was 95 degrees outside and like 50 degrees inside.

I've been changing my clothes every time I get back to my room.

Woolie socks + cotton leggings + sweat pants + tank top + t-shirt + sweat shirt + afghan = warm.

Failed...

Blogger, I forgot about you. It is 12:04 am on the 31st.

I am deeply sorry.

I am a failure.

Please forgive me.

This morning I listened to the girl next door throwing up.

Tomorrow is the first day of classes. I mean today. 8:30am. BRIGHT AND EARLY!!

I can never tell if someone is knock on my door, or her door. Really confusing.

Last night I felt really sick. Apparently it was because I took my multivitamin, but didn't eat or drink enough after. And I literally thought I was going to barf. I was gagging and everything. Not a good way to start. Anyway. I was scared so I propped myself up a bit, and then decided to re-watch all of Alex Day's Reading Twilight videos. I got to like the 2nd one before I started to fall asleep.

Youtube is calming.

I wonder if I should continue BEDA, after August. It can be BEDS.....

yes.

BEDO, BEDN, BEDD, BEDJ, BEDF, BEDM, BEDA, BEDM, BEDJ, BEDJ

I think I should make up for the 8 days at the beginning that I didn't blog.

That would be good.

Here's a picture of me back-lit, washed-out, glasses-glared, messed up hair, with Preston, the owl my mom crotched me.

He either really tired, or "not amused".

Bless your face. Peace off.
