School and stuff

Mandy — Sat, 31 May 2008 02:45:15 +0000

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.

The roses are a new thing, I thought looked nice, Its just if they can last. The bowls are fun, the glazes look thick, but alot of it is wax and clear. I cant wait to see them finished!

Critique

Mandy — Sun, 25 May 2008 19:16:27 +0000

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.

The Beginning

Mandy — Sat, 24 May 2008 02:24:03 +0000

☞ Well, I have a sculpture due tomorrow at 11am. It is a project involving light. Right now its a bit in shambles but headed in a good direction. I just talked to my (wonderful) boss and she is giving me the say off (I also worked for her Sunday) to finish up. I have a shit ton of work to do on it. like… TONS. I dont even know if my plan will pan out anyway. Lets hope starch still does the same stuff it did when I was a kid. I still have to starch the damn thing and cover it in plaster, then shape the plaster. Oh my.

It looks like a big heap of poop now, lol. But I assure (at least hope so) its coming along nicely. lol.

In other news, yay for blogging! LOL first once since… 2004 maybe? oh god.

Work and Play

Mandy — Wed, 27 Feb 2008 04:59:20 +0000

I was SO tired from all the work I did yesterday I slept til like 10am! Then Joey’s boss Ben wanted to eat early, so I scrambled to get ready and meet them at the Deli. A few friends from refresh

showed up and it was nice to see them somewhere other than El. rofl.

I had to work at 2pm, which was okay. Im kinda having a food crisis, if you will, with another girl. Its really dumb, and Im still not sure if it is a big deal or not. See, a couple of weeks ago, my boyfriend Joey ate a couple of her little debbie snacks.. which, there usually are a lot of snacks there and its usually not a big deal, except she mentioned it to me and asked me not to eat her stuff. I totally understood and didnt think it was a big deal, I even bought her a soda to make up for the 2 cakes. I told Joey and he felt bad as well so to make up for it he went to the dollar store and bought like 5 boxes (literally) of Little Debbies, put a bow on it and gave it to her. Since then, I dont recall eating anything (except a few of the 100000 Little Debbie snacks Joey bought) of hers. Well, this weekend I had to work 10 hours without a lunch and I was starving. So I found in our secret stash some chips, and candy corn. I ate a few hand fulls and when I went to put the chips back there was a note that said “Mandy, Please dont eat what you did not bring.” Now, I dont usually get mad about little things, but hell, I had JUST brought (basically) 8 boxes of little debbies of which I ate maybe 4 oatmeal cookies? I dont really care, but it kinda made me upset she put that note there. I guess I just like to share.. but thats just me. So to make up for the handful of candy corn and 5 fucking potato chips I bought a bag of chips, bag of mini candy bars, and a bag of kisses.. and probably something else… I just dont understand people sometimes. My boss said it was because she had a roommate that ate all her food.. but I figured the 8 boxes of snacks would have more than make up for it… no need for little notes.. okay ending rant..

in other news.. I made a cool poster.

Its based on a line from Chuck Palahniuk book “Lullaby” which I just finished re-reading. Its sooo good, lots of good lines. I have 2 more posters in this series. This line is about how the introduction of dandelions and other non-native things to the americas was a way to save us from famine, or erosion, or some other thing deemed necessary to save us, is now just killing off things that were important, things we can never get back, things we destroyed.
