this is a thing i am making out of molding magic

this is me right now

Just spent the last three hours collaging the dumbest (but I love it regardless, don't get me wrong) shit for my design class final crit tomorrow. Mostly inspired by The OC because I happened to be watching it at the time. Can't wait to explain my shallow-inspired collages to my class that no doubt have ridiculous meanings behind their final projects.

First day of college

Had my first class today: From Line to Pixel. I had no idea what the hell that even meant but it's like a mixed media computer class. It's 6 hours long (um lol) but our teacher let us out early today. Basically she shunned the use of iPhoto and that is all I ever use (I know...I know...) so I need to work on that. The supply list is going to kill me but whatever (although one of the supplies needed was a spool of yarn. um, what?).

I wish BlackBoard listed the kids in my class so I could be a super creep and facebook stalk all night since I don't have class until 3 pm tomorrow (AGAIN). I don't really like having class at 3 because I wait all day for class. Today I just sat on the computer for like, 4 hours (not like I don't do that already anyway) but still. Caitlin got back from her first class and left for work even before I left for MY first class.

I have drawing tomorrow which should be interesting since I can't draw.
LOVEZ IT.

Lightning Bolt photos from yesterday are up on BV: Click here.
Also I got my iPod Shuffle that I won from Butterlane (the best cupcake place in all of new york and you can quote me on that) today and I love it. It came just in time because my iPod broke this morning. Sweet life.

How to Deal

So Caitlin and I watched this tonight:


we noticed that:
the guy on the right looks a little bit like this guy.
yeah? yeah.

also that movie sux.
like so much.

Apartment Virtual Tour!

In case some of you (a lot of you? I don't even know, how many "you" even read this?) haven't been inside the apartment Caitlin and I share yet, I created a virtual tour because I am bored and have nothing better to do with my life.



142 RICHARDSON ST:

First stop, Caitlin's room! It's in the front of the apartment. How exciting!

This is in my room. As you can see to the left there is an air conditioner, given to me by my old babysitter Kristen, who just got married (so congrats!). This thing has legit saved my life. To the right is my favorite drawing by my friend Tracey Alvarez. It's appropriately placed next to my shelf with all my cameras.
This is our kitchen-area. We have postcards from Sweden on the fridge (and not pictured but we also have a photo of Nikki as a child, naked playing with blocks and a random photo we found on Lorimer St), cow shaped salt & pepper shakers, and way too many cups.

This is a sign my dad stole from the Berlin zoo a long time ago. It says "Do Not Feed." We're really clever so we hung it in the kitchen.

Oh, here is the fridge again. I should have taken a photo of the inside.

Tola's housewarming gift. A self portrait. It is wonderful and matches everything in the living room-area.

This is the bulletin board where we hang out bills and other things. We have a subway map, it was Mihran's housewarming gift to us...of course. Above is a manila folder on which Henry drew a bunch of people and it emphasizes the theme of "a lot of dick."

Here is our DVD shelf thing. It does not fit all of our DVDs. We have the weirdest DVD collection, but whatever it's cool. We also bought flowers.

This is the hallway from the living area to my room. Another Tracey Alavrez original is pictured.

This is the view from the bathroom. It looks messy but it's really not.


This is the bathroom.
This is our backyard from my window.

This is my totally empty closet because I forgot all my hangers in Tuxedo and I don't have all my clothes here anyway. Plus all I brought were sweaters and it's fucking disgustingly hot outside.

This is my shelf with all my cameras (or, rather, it will be since not all my cameras were with me when I took this picture)

My clothes in a heap on the floor next to a dresser drawer I bought from Target. I need another one.

The door to the backyard + other part of my room.

My bed/bulletin board.


My bed where I am currently residing in as I write this blog entry on my shitty stolen internet at 3:30 am.

I need to go to bed. Detailz on actual life l8tr.

FIRST

I've had a blogspot blog for awhile but never actually did anything with it (except for project iris). I'm super bored so I decided to use it. This probably won't last very long but whatevz (I have this blog too: http://www.leiaj.typepad.com but I haven't updated since last year I think. I don't know what the point of using this blog is if I already have one, but again...whatevz don't care).

Life as of now:
- Currently having trouble breathing due to allergies (I feel like I have asthma).
- Currently watching The Real Housewives of New Jersey.
- Currently dreading school tomorrow.
- Currently looking for apartments with Caitlin to move into July 1st.
- Currently giving Wavves another listen (because the first time I didn't like it, but now I think I do).

Saw JEFF the Brotherhood, Turbo Fruits, Boogie Boarder, Grocery Thief and Broccoli Destroyer last night at DBA (photos up on http://www.brooklynvegan.com soon). I love the way DBA looks now, so much better than before! The show was awesome, Caitlin and I got back to Park Slope around 2. I took a shower, went to bed for 3 hours, dreamt about beards (I don't remember in what context, but I just remember thinking of beards), then woke up at 5:30 to catch a train so I could go to school (and so Caitlin could get to work on time).

I decided to take the train home from Hoboken because I had an hour to kill, sat across from this woman at the train station with her shoe off and she pretty much had the grossest looking foot I have ever seen in my entire life. I will spare you the gruesome details. Almost vommed, so I waited outside. Fell asleep on the train, got off the train, decided not to go to school after all and then slept all day. Worked on photos from the show last night, sent them off, and ate crackers + Emergen-C. Life is GOOD (despite the fact I am still in high school and everyone else is not).


p.s - speaking of JEFF, I posted the photos from their show w/ Black Pus last month at DBA on my flickr here and here. On BrooklynVegan here. On their blog here.

p.p.s - looks like I'm not cool enough to sit with my sister and her friend at Mr. Tuxedo tomorrow (I must be really lame).
