I'm sitting in front of a poster of the Rembrandt's etching "Christ Preaching" in the computer lab at the student union. Apparently my lil' pothead neighbors' wireless connection extends into my new room, but I haven't discussed this with him since our original meeting (he said I could do it). Oh well, I kinda like this poster anyhow ( Read more... )

Let me make this short. I, along with Sam and Nat, have recently acquired lease on a new house that, if rumors are true, is destined to become (and I quote the OU Daily) "the mecca of that which is to be considered bohemian within the boundary of the city of Norman". We have a basement for jamming, you may hear me drumming as you drive by. We ( Read more... )

My drawing professor told me today that if she ever has a son that she hopes he turns out like me. I thought she was joking and retorted sarcastically but she said she was sincere ( Read more... )

P. Diddy really tried to motivate the youth of 'merica to go out and vote. However, many of my peers have brought shame to his commendable, yet highly futile political advocacy. Ergo, he had intended to fulfill the ultimatum of his Citizen Change slogan: "vote or die". Before election day, I had lunch with Puff and Chris Walkens (we call him, C- ( Read more... )

I have been on a lot of adventures in the past few weeks. A San Marcos/Austin/Denton trip with Nelson and Richichi, which was mainly fun due to their company and seeing Texas buddies. This past weekend, I went to Dallas/Denton with PropogAmanda to see Ted Leo and the Pharmacist, which was a wonderful show. Thusly, my body has asked for some rest ( Read more... )

I am a big fan of Chinese traditional paintings so naturally I was excited to go to the demonstration by a painting professor from China. However, I was unaware of the Tao influence upon this medium, which led into multiple brief explanations of minuscular details of how these philosophical teachings are influential over the painting instructions ( Read more... )

last friday, my chow-pomeranian, Ollie, undertook a valiant stance of righteousness. knowing fully well that a battle with a giant skunk would ultimately result in being sprayed and consequently sleeping outdoors, he engaged in battle with the alpha male of skunks in our vicinity. very similar to the Biblical tale of David'n'Goliath, but in place ( Read more... )

So a definite highlight of my day would have to of been when I taught Ed how to dance like Sara Jessica Parker from those annoying Gap commercials. As usual, when we exchanged our 'hellos', he starts improv dancing. Not one to be surpassed, not even in a casual greeting jig, I had to resort to SJP's flow. Naturally, I won, and he could not deny ( Read more... )

Nick came over today for a game of S-K-A-T-E, and every lil' kid in the vicinity came to watch us just hang out. Flattering slightly, but absolutely annoying. Kids pacing with you when you're about to pop the stairs, kids lined up a small spot for you to land, and the lil' skaters kept taping us even though I requested them not to. On a mess up ( Read more... )
