Just finished my first "END OF SEMESTER DUMPSTER DIVIN" adventure! It is unbelievable what some of these kids throw away. On one hand, you're all "omg free stuff" but on the other hand, you're all "selfish, lazy bastards could've taken this shit to Goodwill ( Read more... )

I went to see my advisor today and she didn't think taking that math class in the summer was a good idea. (summer sessions are more intense and MATH IS HARD) So I dropped it and added my second required culture studies course. It's a class about THE BLACK DEATH. LOL I'm such a nerd because I'm stoked. I love history ( Read more... )

Job numero dos has been procured! I am now also going to be working in Nashville (Indiana ;3) on the weekends. It'll be in a place called "New Leaf," which is a tiny jewelry shop run by an IU alum. It's really laid-back and I like the two people I met there already ( Read more... )

So everyone is all abuzz about Tokyopop closing down its US branch. That's definitely disappointing when you consider the handfull of staff that was still working there. However, I can't really say I've had an interest in a lot of books that they put out. That's not even considering the crappy contracts they gave a lot of their creators ( Read more... )

This has been so nice so far! Aaah. I went up to Elkhart Thursday night and brought Eri down to Bloomington for the weekend. We had a blast going to shows and exploring with Missy. We went hiking in the forest and visited Stepp Cemetery, which has stones from the early 1800s on. Saturday we got to go to a Rolling Blackouts show, which I really ( Read more... )

I've spent entirely too much time over the past week reading over this Let's Play of Breath of Fire IV. It is really entertaining. I haven't played the game; somehow I totally overlooked its very existence. Probably because it came out toward the end of the PS1's lifespan, I think ( Read more... )

Tonight dad regaled me with a couple of interesting stories. My grampa was a guitarist back in the day. Grampa played in a band until the "rock star" (read: "country star") life caught up to him and he sort of became a victim of his various addictions, alcohol being the most virulent one. Grampa told me that he had played in the Grand Ol' Opry, but ( Read more... )

So after meeting with three advisors in three different departments, I still don't have a real solid path pinned down. I didn't know that "Illustration" was such a confounding career choice. Either that or I should just continue through the Studio Art degree and find my own pathways to my goals. I know that you don't really need a degree to be an ( Read more... )

Gramma just has to have the masses cut out and a... "chemo patch" and apparently she is going to be fine?! The cancer didn't spread. :) Hooray ( Read more... )
