As you may know Ive been busy. And well, my sculpture is due tomorrow.. I figured I would be up all night, but at the last minute I changed my idea. I am just doing an assemblage type sculpture with all the music junk I have. I like it.
OH YA! I got to kick some emo kids outa the store today! LOL I was workin at the big and tall store, and the lights went out. And I had a couple of customers who where still inside. Well outside, a gaggle of emo kids were dropped off outside. Like 5 busses of high school kids were lined up infront of my store. And my section got the emo kids who decided to practive their hardcore dancing. Ya. My customers were trying to leave but were litterally scared of getting hit cuz these kids were thrashing around. So I slung open the door and hit one (giggle!) and told them all to get the hell outa the front of my store! Then they tried to come INSIDE the store.. so i kicked them out and locked the door. It was amazing!

okay, so I have been more than busy this week.. Im working on a very ambitious piece called Constructive Deconstruction. I havnt had my camera with me but here is it almost finished.. I worked from 7pm last night until 7am this morning… wow.. im pooped. I had class at 8am til 1pm and Im just about to head to bed FINALLY. My feet are dying. The piece is due next tuesday, and I cannot wait to show it!
See those little doors at the top, they are hinged and the inside has hypodermic needles attatched. The dark black you see are baggies of black paint, which will unleash when struck with the ball and cover it black. Also all of it is ment to corupt, and while you play it, you will be destroying it.
And I had class, but I went early to work on my the stuff I made last week, but they were wet so I just road home. I love riding my bike, I got a new seat so it doesnt feel like a pole is jabbing into my ass. Im going to paint it soon. (and it needs stickers… lots and lots of stickers.. and maybe glitter.. and streamers!)
Oh ya, and the debates were tonight… I thought it was hilarious. You could tell Palin was just reading the ‘mental note cards’. If I heard Alaska one more time… i think i would’ve died. You can read the commentary on my lifestream.
In other news, I realllllllllllly want to see Blindness. But I also want to read the book first… gah! But I need to get money to get it… Im so broke. Cycling to save gas, eating fruit for lunch. (except tonight we splurged on enough chinese for a couple of days! LOL, a FEAST before the debates) I hate I keep missing the fun lunches with the Refresh people, but I really cant afford it. (really big light bill this month)

So, first, and most important. Constructive Deconstruction is DONE! As in, finished, totally done. The critique was amazing, so many people were there! Somehow I got lucky and two classes where there to watch the festivities. I got some great pics and Zach was filming it. So, lets just get down to it.

So today I finally got to ride my bicycle to school. It was in Lake City for SO LONG! It hurt my ass though, Im going to have to get a new seat. lol.
I think i totally bombed my psych test. Oh well, that class isnt really my thing. I didnt make it to the review. I really think the rest will be easy. I was working on sculpture during the review, that is worth more to me.
Rest of the classes are boring. My sculpture class was okay, we discussed what is to come. I told him about my idea for my Movement project and he loved it, so do I. It will be amazing.
I came home today and took a nap, I had several people going to call later, but no one did so I ended up speeling.. well.. forever. LOL Oh well, it was worth it!
My ceramics class is going well, have many pieces waiting on glazing.
So, Im working on my neko kitty outfit! Im going to be so adorable! lol. I wanted to make some kitty ears because I cant find any ANYWHERE! I got a great lions tail at Golden Grotto, but they had no ears AT ALL. I got some little clip ears at Hot Topic, but they were tiny and looked weird with my ears. So I got some cloth piping stuff and felt and some boa stuff. They looked better than alot of sites I went to. (ie pawstar)
Saturday night PARTY! Im excited! Rons super exclusive Halloween Partee! Its going to be epic! Last party for a while.. BOO! but it will be an amazing time! And all those bands! SWEET!
Today I cleaned ALL day long! I also marinated and cooked some derishus lemon pepper chicken with garlic over rice and green beans. Mmmmmmmmmmmm! nom nom nom nom! It was good. OH and I also got Zoe Zoe groomed at Ms Ellies! She looks so good!
And I bought some new furniture! See, the guy next door is moving… or ’something’ and needed to sell his furniture fast. He was going to give me a couch, love seat, bed, and table for $150. WOW right? Well I got a $150, but didnt get to him in time and didnt think he would have it, oops. Well today he knocked on the door and I told him I had $110. So he gave me a couch, love seat and queen sized bed for $110. So we had to rearange all my furniture and now my house is totally trashed again! But I have a big comfy green couch!
Last night was.. well interesting. lol. We always go to our firend Rons on Saturday nights and well, a girl showed up that I hadnt seen in about 3 years. The weird thing is, she has dated about everyone there, so things were.. interesting.. especially considering she was drunk… DRUNK off her ass.

So I was up working on my sculpture, oh… til about 5am.. What I did was put hose on the wire frame and painted it with many coats of starch. This made it very stiff, which would be good, but I needed more of a contour shape, sooo… I decided to use plaster. Well the water in the plaster dissolved my starch.. so I decided I would use paper mache. This worked well but wasnt drying quick enough, so.. in a stroke of brilliance (sarcasm) I figured if I put a layer of plaster over it, it would dry and soak up the water. WRONG.. wrong wrong. It NEVER dried.
So I did my Plan B (or Z) and just covered it in an old copy of “The Female Orgasm” (a scientific look at it) At 5am I just gave up. I went back at 8am and it was still VERY wet… I had to use woodglue to keep the pages from falling off. After the pages were wet and had turned colors abit, i really started to like it.
It came time for class and I had to move that heavy bitch. It sucked, but all worked out in the end! My critique went well and I loved how she looked displayed. I cant wait to actually finish her. I think she would look amazing in a gallery.
I really like it. The inside looks like fire, which helps the concept. I want to go back over her and make it a bit more smooth, also add some thicker wire. In critique someone brought up the idea of sound, which I think would be interesting to add pr0n background noise or music.
In other news, a butterfly landed on my hand today.
so sad.
