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.
And here is the VIDEO! I had so much fun editing and added a Deftones song. Hope you likes!
Also I dressed up as a Rockstar Neko today for lunch and work, it was epic. Heres some pics

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!
Im having so much trouble trying to think of something for my sound project. It has to be perfect.. im too much of a perfectionist…..
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!
it needs a few tweeks and a new paint job..
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.
Ya, so the ball kept getting hung when I tried, I cant wait to see the finished peice all destroyed like! lol.
So, not much happening this week. Ive been sick and off work, so alot of sitting on the couch playing video games.
Thursday was the refresh meeting! Not too many people were there but it was fun, I found out about ColourLovers. lol. I havnt played with it much, but I cant wait.
Last night, Me and my wonderful boyfriend Joey went with my friend Lou and her husband Roo to eat at O’Charleys. It was delicious! I had Bayou Salmon. Me and Lou got drinks, I had an amazing margarita and she got a cotton candy martini. It was neat, they put cotton candy in a glass and pour the drink ontop to melt the cotton candy.
We went and saw Quarentine, the new Zombie movie out. It was good. I thought I would be scared (because I usually get scared at movies) but I wasnt. I think it must just be ghost movies.. Those are scary as HELL! Like this one!! The previews of that alone scared me to death. Im a chicken. I think its the dog with the mask.
Afterwards we came back to my place and drank and watched youtube. But it was late anyway so everyone was tired. Overall it was a great night. ^^ I cant wait til tonight!
Did these for my frien d Lou, she is always putting on her music at parties and such. Anyway, quick post dont have too much to say. I think my next post I am going to do a tutorial type of post on how I did those, I took a ton of screenshots. Its really pretty easy though, dont know if its needed.

Last night we went to Memphis with Joey and his boss, Ben, to see Avenue Q at the Orpheum. We got there way to early and ate at The Kings Palace on Beale, which was derishus! I had Voodoo Chicken. Mmm. Also Ben bought 2 bottles of wine for us, Yum. I also had an Amaretto Sour and a Baileys and coffee after dinner. Also Yum. Our bill was about 70 with tip, and that didnt have the alcohol on it. Wow, thanks a billion Ben.
Avenue Q was AMAZING. I laughed SO hard. I loved it! There were PUPPETS FUCKING…. wtf. Still, hilarious! Im so glad we went, Joey is amazing. He looked so good dressed up. It was VERY FUN hanging out with ‘grown ups.’ lol.
Oh oh oh oh! I am getting a new car soon. My truck is literally falling apart, so Im getting a new Honda Fit. PURPLE! I am so excited. Ive never had a NEW car. This is the one I want.
Also, today we saw this adorable little kid dancing in our Neighbors door. He was only like 3 years old. I was laughing so hard! This is epic.
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)
