Life is bizarre. We did abstract charcoal diagrams with massive charcoal sticks today for 2 hours, and it was great fun. Who doesn't love charcoal? It's messy, and I always enjoy spontaneous media that I can't really quite predict or control ( Read more... ) -

Two days into grad school, and I'm having more problems with depression then I've had in years. ...Honestly, I just want to quit and focus on mundane work and feeling stable, but that would just make me feel bad about myself.
I just want time to focus on something, but it's a giant whirlwind of tiny assignments with no time to think about any of -
Cleopatra
So, the classic Elizabeth Taylor/Rex Harrison Cleopatra film has been playing off and on at my house for the last few days (It's 4 hours long.). I've watched a bit. Has a decided "Spartacus vibe" given the time it was made. And certainly, I'm not going to argue historical accuracy. That said, I find Elizabeth Taylor as Cleopatra downright odd.

Music
For a long time, I've thought of creating mix tapes of my most played songs each year. Well, I never have. I thought I might link to my top 16 played (as listed on iTunes) here instead. Maybe I'll try to do it around New Years annually. Or possibly not. Some, I haven't listened to in over a year, but... *shrugs*. Anyway, no mp3s, because I'm not ( Read more... ) -

I just want to live art. Be around painters and film artists, 24/7. I'm still trying to figure out what I love about here so much, so I can take it elsewhere. -

If anybody would like to watch a horrible (but fun) movie, I would suggest trying Cannibal:The Musical, loosely based on the story of Alfred Packer. ...Think the Donner party but in Colorado. I don't know if Packer is very widely known to people outside of Colorado? So, anyway, if you have 77 minutes and streaming Netflix, it's entertaining. ( Read more... ) -

...I would like to work for Cirque du Soleil. Maybe someday if I ever get appropriate work experience. -

I would like to share a public domain song with you all. Old British Navy tune--the kind that isn't often recorded because it's dirty (oh my!), but I have no clue how to do it... If I figure it out, you can have a listen later. -

Day of the Dead - Hummingbirds are still considered one of the forms which the spirits of the dead assume during their return to the living on November 1st and 2nd. Traditionally, they were believed to be the souls of fallen warriors. -

Dear god... I spent *three hours* going from computer lab to computer lab trying to find a scanner which works. I didn't manage to either. On the other hand, I met interior design students (who are large sorority and fraternity like...), a chihuahua, Graphics IC majors, and found a hell of a lot of computer labs I had no clue existed ( Read more... )
