another blog born last week

i've started another blog for the contemporary studio practices class i'm taking this term. i'm still not really sure yet how these two blogs are going to work together...i might just use them interchangeably. anyway, here's the link to sketchbook number two if you're interested.

i found this

this is a video of a shins concert i went to a couple years ago
they did a really amazing cover of pink floyd and i almost peed
but i didn't get a video of it!
this is another pretty cool video though.

i had a party this weekend

good things:
it was really cool
everyone i invited showed up
i got in-toxi-cat-ed
it seemed like everyone was having fun
i was having fun

not so good things:
a broken tumbler
"kelsey"
no more whisky
sticky-ass floors from spilled white russians everywhere
i passed out far too early

there will be pictures coming soon.
and a video!

from my friends at school

some advice for the characters of horror movies
as said by trenton, age 11

"three rules
1) do not go anywhere alone
2)do not go into the woods EVER
3)if you go into the woods and are with somebody, don't start making out because i assure you, some guy with a chainsaw will jump out."

"oh yeah, and 
4)don't be a dummy!" (freddie said this part)

i fucking love my job.

this conversation all came about during an impromptu game of speed pictionary with the kids. speed pictionary is like regular pictionary except there are no teams the game just moves around in a circle, one person writing down a clue, the other person drawing it, and at least 2 other people guessing what is being drawn. there's no winning or points its all just for a shit ton of fun. there was also a continuous game being played at the party at my house the other night.

i feel like i'm flailing around quickly.

i've begun missing sanity.
where did you go?
i thought we were friends.

if i were better at poetry that would have been a haiku.
let me try again.

oh where did you go?
sanity, are not we friends?
come back to me please.
