The Opening Was A Smashing Success! I have friends, who knew ;P Thanks you guys/gals! I'm going to take a bath and go to bed now.

It has been something like a thousand years since my last update, and I totally blame it on making positive choices to cut out a large portion of computer time in favor of time with people, exercise and community planning. Because I want to go outside and play I will be doing this update in a convenient list. Hold on, here we go:
1) I bought a new ( Read more... )

Dad Listens To Records, Harry Chapin's "Cat's In The Cradle" - Sheep With Teeth - How I Felt Today

So for some of you this may seem like a big shock. For others you clearly saw this one coming. Today I applied to the Americorps NCCC for the Winter 2006 Session. This program involves me going off and doing short term service projects for 10 ( Read more... )

Kristen, Weight Lifting Competition & "Mutter" - Oil Pastel, Watercolor and Acrylic Wash - 2005

What a day it has been. It all started with the sun dancing on my face beckoning for me to rise from my sleep. I ate some yummy cereal and worked on, and all but completed, my sculpture, "Mutter" for several hours and then got all cleaned up for ( Read more... )

ACK! So I just got an email from the University of Florida letting me know "as soon as possible" that I did not get in. This makes me nervous as I sure would have liked to go to Florida (sunny weather, you know), that and I had considered it to be one of my backups after all the big schools reject me. Although I may be blowing this somewhat out ( Read more... )

First to address the title of this post, I received my first response from my grad school applications today and I believe it is safe to say that I will not be attending Arizona State University. It wasn't one of the higher schools in my "mental priority list" but it still sucks balls to be rejected, and it makes me nervous about the rest of the ( Read more... )

Busy busy busy with various aspects of producing my work and have had little time to feed to the machine. I have now officially fired all of the electric kilns in our department and mixed like 9 things of clay, so I have pretty much resolved these processes in my head. All of these experiences I am finding to be rather "zen" as Ken would say. ( Read more... )

The Powerbook made it at least to Memphis today, unfortunately it did not make it here. Therefore, I believe I will have to wait until Tuesday to get it, even though it only took 2 days to get from China to Memphis, because fedex doesn't deliver Ground on Sunday or Monday according to their site. Maybe I'll score and get it on Monday, but I ( Read more... )

I got a green clay bucket today. It is joyous. :)

In other news, according to my fedex tracking number my powerbook has finally made it from China to the US. The last checkpoint said that it was leaving Anchorage Alaska. I hear Alaska has pretty high suicide rates. Soon very soon..
Also, if all goes as planned, there will be a sexy new Pearl ( Read more... )

I just got back from the GWAR concert in Nashville. I am covered in blood and filled with memories of Paris Hilton eating her own "stuff" after she was torn in half, the band masturbating George W. before they tore him into pieces, and a variety of other similar miscellaneous tidbits. On top of that I met two myspace/lj friends, Jordan and ( Read more... )
