Basement raves are fun. The music was good and the venue was perfect, it’s a shame not many people showed up.

George from the MET made me a sandwich.

It was a huge, glorious, tasty fish sandwich. I ate the whole thing. My tiny stomach couldn’t handle it and I’m now a useless lump on my bed. Now to get changed and drag my bloated self down to Avery’s room.

Maybe I’m alone here, but I didn’t like Nickelodeon’s new Korra trailer. It dumbed it down a bit and made it look like a cheesy action movie. But I’M SO EXCITED that they’re releasing info now, though! The animation looks stunning, the scenery is gorgeous and I know that since Mike & Bryan are more in charge of the writing there will be a significant...

Always there to cheer me up.

Me: I feel like I'm the only one who didn't pick a roommate for next year. 
Mom: Everyone you know did?
Me: Pretty much
Mom: No one wanted you? 
Me: ..no mom.
Mom: 
Me: 
Mom: I do

WebAdvisor continues to suck

Finally find English teacher after hunting him down all morning: Yeah, the website says it’s open. But it’s not. We filled up two days ago. I need to find an English course before Monday. welp.

Sometimes when I’m tired of the FREEZING <—-> LUKEWARM options on my floor I venture down to the Homer 2 showers, where the water is hot and nothing hurts.

Oh, and I'm currently without an English course,

which is pretty bad. I guess I’m allowed to drop a course but can’t replace it with another open class when I need to. what the hell RISD where is your logic. you make my head hurt. I hope the cost of the giant DDR machine in the lounge was worth the hopelessly shitty website your students regularly rely on. dljfdlkjslskdf

Talking with my design TA about my map project:

Me: ..so I'm trying to use places from New Hampshire and the Boston area.
TA: New Hampshire? Is that like, in Boston?
Me: That's actually right above Massachusetts.
TA: So like.. On the Mass coast?
Me: ..Yup.

This is really cheesy, but...

It’s ridiculous how in love I am with a certain someone. I can’t even explain it. (zipperaward)

Call in the Submarines: Parade Road →

my-unwanted-serenade: The power went out this morning, providing me the perfect chance to pry my sister away from her computer and go on a little adventure. There’s a certain spot on Parade Road in Meredith where the road comes to a clearing with a view of a beautiful valley and Lake Winnipesaukee. I’ve driven by… Hello, old blog! This is cool, I had no idea they used my picture. It needs...

I love my few minutes of quiet time before going back to class. A few observations made in studio drawing today: I’ve come to the conclusion that I just don’t like drawing studios. They always seem to drag on the longest and I find it hard to focus on the work when it gets so repetitive. I’ve also noticed similar teaching patterns in the professors - they seem to pick favorites...

Remember when I said RISD likes to yank away the little joys in life the second they’re in my reach? Goddamn it. Why can’t I just be consistently happy here? There goes the highlight of my summer plans. It always seems that when things are looking up it’s only a matter of time before they get dragged down again and I’m trapped in Providence.

Convenient!

After taking a collage course for six weeks I find out that my first assignment in Design is a collage, with all the materials I already bought from a month ago. Score. I’m feeling much better than this than I was a few days ago. I’ll miss sleeping but I can’t wait for new and hopefully better teachers. I’ve also revamped my attitude and prepared myself to get my shit...

boylston: northboundheadlights: I hate it when RISD Met serves blueberry cheese cake and brings in a chocolate fountain when I’m trying to lose 10 lbs. This is cruel. HOP ON DAT SHIT OH I DID. I think the bloated belly was worth it for now. (also the gym closed 3 hours early wtf.)

I'd like to interrupt my usual art-related posting...

Can we quit the “what everyone thinks I do” meme? It’s not funny now and never really was. It was old before it ever reached Facebook, but now it’s everywhere I look. Let’s just stop beating the dead horse and drop it already. THANKS.

To-Do's for the Spring Semester

Search every possible way of finding a job. Work out regularly again. Now that I’ve kicked this cold I want my body back. Start assignments the day they’re assigned and sleep more. Don’t slack on English & History. Give 110% effort in drawing. I got gypped in that class last semester (I never want to do gesture again. Ever. Three months straight is enough for me.) and...

Just found out Bryan is also an amazing landscape photographer with a Flickr/photo journal. I can’t believe how many places he’s traveled, I want to do that someday.

Wow.

I didn’t realize how much my photography work has expanded until I started setting up this Cargo account. It’s a little mind-boggling to me to see what was once a ‘side-hobby’ of mine turn into a full-blown body of work. It also worries me slightly. While photography makes me happy, I can’t continue to neglect my illustrative work - it is supposed to be my major and...

My cargo’s up and running! I wanted something more professional than Flickr, more organized than Tumblr, and not as limited as Carbonmade. I love the way it looks.

Bryan Konietzko has a Tumblr now.

HOLY SHIT ONE OF MY IDOLS. (along with Mike DiMartino, of course) instantly followed. Mike & Bryan’s work is a huge part of what inspired me to pursue illustration and I don’t think I would have made it to RISD if it were not for that influence. I can barely contain my excitement for the premiere of Korra. =D

As of now I have the NH house to myself for the night and thank fucking god because everyone was driving me i-n-s-a-n-e. I’m excited to experiment with self portraits without feeling self-conscious or being asked questions. .
