Update!

I've been away from my computer for too long. Went home for Thanksgiving and thoroughly enjoyed it. But then I had to come back to school and start projects again. Midterms are coming up, so I'm going to be busy studying. I will try to post more often, though.
Survivor update! It's Friday, and you need to know my thoughts on Survivor. I'm glad Bubba got voted off...he acted like a nitwit. Next to go should be Rory, and I would love to see Scout go soon. Don't like either of them. Sarge definitely picked the right team! I like John, I think he's a lot smarter than others realize. Chad is a good guy, too, as long as he doesn't continue the "places by the fire" argument. How stupid is that? But it helped that Bubba opened his mouth, and then acted so stupidly on the new team. He would've been voted out by either team.
I am struggling with my design class. It'll be cool, eventually, though. Right now, I want to throw gouache paint against the wall and forget about line, value, shape, texture, and colour! Those are the five elements of art. Won't go into the 7 principles of organization. The instructor is all about creating according to strict elements. Boring! Got a dreadful presentation to do in typography. The actual presentation is fine...it's the subject I don't like. I got the name of a designer who developed a mathematical principle for design. Colour me excited. Can't understand it, don't work that way, hate the constriction of math...I am going to have to be very creative to get around this one. The guy sitting next to me in class got a name of a designer who does movie titles and posters...very cool. I wish I had that name!
Going to an art show tonight. Time to clean up my apartment. Ahh, the mundane trivial details of my life. I have some sketches and photos to post, so that will happen soon. Loved visiting the Mendel when I was home...I really do miss that place! I think I would like to continue working in an art gallery. I love the atmosphere of working with artists and people who aren't consumed with rules and principles!
La-de-da...off to clean!
