A few years ago, "Don't Look Back" by Boston was one of my favorite songs. Now, I can't listen to it all the way through. When it came on internet radio today, I muted my iTunes part of the way through the song, and watched a couple of YouTube videos ( Read more... )

Our final assignment for 2D Design is a completely free choice design, and I have decided to revisit the pillowcase pattern I did earlier in the semester, only involving color. When I first did it, I used stencils, which caused more paint to bleed through the pillowcase than I wanted, so this time I decided to make stamps instead, and yesterday I  ( Read more... )

Apparently, the University of Maine Museum of Art started doing a program called Art at Noon, where on the first Monday of every month, visitors get a guided tour of the museum's temporary exhibits. Yesterday's were abstract works by Angelo Ipolito (sp?) and celebrity photographs by Andy Warhol ( Read more... )

For me, it's "buy the farm" as a euphemism for death, since dead people are in no condition to buy anything.

Happy Halloween everyone!

I haven't done much to celebrate--in fact, the only Halloween-related things I've done today are watching the South Park episode "Spooky Fish" (an old favorite) and buying a Coffee Crisp bar for drawing. Ed wants us to draw a wrapped candy bar and an unwrapped candy bar, which is appropriate for this time of year.

I had ( Read more... )

I've decided to do NaNoWriMo. I expect all of you to read my writing.

Last night's Boston Legal was great, and made up for last week's (literally) snoozer. Denny being turned on by the sheep was priceless! Since they've been bringing back a lot of old characters lately (Catherine Piper last night, Denise next week), it gives some promise that the ( Read more... )

I'm thinking about participating in National Novel Writing Month, or NaNoWriMo. I have a story planned in my head, but some parts of it are... let's just say, not appropriate for children. Anyone who has previously participated, are there any restrictions on content?

 Today at Yahoo Food, they made a list of the ten worst Halloween treats. How dare they rag on candy corn? That's as much a part of Halloween as a jack-o-lantern is, if not more (since it's been years since I last carved a pumpkin). On the other hand, I agree about Tootsie Rolls, which have never been a favorite of mine despite appearing in large ( Read more... )

I don't think I mentioned this in here, but a couple of weeks ago, the Honda refused to start and needed to be towed away (it needs an expensive repair to even be functional again, and I don't know if it's worth it). Since I had no car, I had to take time off from Meals for Me. Luckily, I was able to arrange to use my mother's Jeep Liberty to ( Read more... )

The Rays are going to this year's World Series, which starts tomorrow night. Even though they just eliminated the Red Sox, I'll be cheering for them anyway, since it's nice to see them finally succeed after being one of the worst teams in baseball for virtually their entire existence.

Meanwhile, in the other professional sports league that I follow ( Read more... )
