so heres to avoiding homework and playing with my new favorite camera : )

no more gouging please!!!! i have a callous on my finger and my palm is a little raw : (  why does everything have to be due this week???  I think im losing it…haha instead of studying i took a 3 hour nap and now i have a headache and dont want to study.  geez.  i guess ill just have to fail this first test, and focus more on printmaking.  I need a set of 6 originals, and i have about 24 hours to complete this task! and i have no idea what im doing…and my professor is on vacation…the day before our first critique–what??? 

This is about how i am feeling:

This is how ill feel on friday after this week is over:

 i know, its crazy–but hey at least it gives emma something to do haha im pretty sure shes the only one who reads this, bc everyone else knows that i quit blogging quite a while back, i am trying to resurrect my writing…haha im losing to emma by like 50000 posts.

Heres what i did yesterday, mindlessly sat at my drafting table making pendants and earrings out of porcelain with the decemberists blaring in the background.  These are moments that i love the most.  Being alone in my apartment in my pjs on a rainy day making little trinkets. haha avoiding my printmaking AND sculpture projects which are due very soon.  Heres what they looked like wet–any ideas on glaze colors emma?  you can have one by the way : )

So i forgot i took this photo!  Emma and i were eating at Vinnie’s (pizza place in savannah at city market), and we made a hilarious discovery in the restroom on the toilet paper thingie:

Reads: SCAD diploma dispencer. Please take one (1). 

so true, so true.  I love it!

Ive been craving the beach for the past two days.  Looking at photos i took while at the pier on st. simons didnt help all that much.  Maybe ill make a trip to tybee tomorrow….

There was just something about the fog..relaxing, yet eerie.  I want to go back now : (

Being back in the studio makes me extrememly happy.  I find myself humming and smiling for no reason.  The energy in a studio is awesome, and it really drives people to create work.  There are a few who like to complain about everything, but how i see it is you are only taking away from yourself and the time you could be making something amazing!  so why complain??

I made new clay the other day and finally got the chance to throw it last night.  I was so happy : )  I am so glad that i have found something that truly makes me happy and relaxes me.  It makes me excited for the future when i have my own studio and can make my own rules.  Yea, i wont be making as much money as some of my friends, but hey at least i wont be stuck behind a computer all day losing my mind.  Ill be in an open clay filled happy environment doing what i love! haha 

today my mom called me and said she couldnt find harry in the house and when she finally found him he was upstairs sitting in front of my door whining.  He thought i would come out any minute.  but alas, im 2 hours away : (  I miss my puppy!  so i made him a cute little treat jar today : )  with a doggie bone handle! aw!

ok, so a recent theory is that everything is organic.  Mind you, this theory was thought of late last night at the ceramic studio…but it definitely makes sense.  Think about it…you can buy those random little “organic” blush things with the brush and everything…its just DIRT-but its organic! 

When you order a frostie or a milkshake, they use clay fillers to take up space in the shake, so they arent completely milk and syrup. Ew, and crisco! 

We were looking in the storage room and came across “Food grade Bone Ash”–What???  when would you want food grade bone ash?  Then i started thinking of what could it be used in??  and once again, my mind went to frosties and fastfood milkshakes. 

So if you think about it, everything is organic!  clay and dirt is in basically everything you use and eat….hell, you can even buy ORGANIC URANIUM.  no joke : )

This is so neat and inventive.  I just might have to steal this idea (of course take my own spin on it) and become RICH!

Thanks Mike.

well its another year.  I decided to stay home with the family and take it slow this year (not party).  but it was nice–i felt bad i didnt get to spend my mom (and my) birthdays together this year, so this kinda made up for it. 

so we had the traditional new years meal today–black eyed peas–pennys, collard greens–money, ummm i forget the other analogies, but we had pork chops and rice lol  a very southern dinner. 

my dad shared with my mom and i something quite disturbing during the meal–an asteroid has been mapped out, and is expected to impact earth in 2039.  yay! at least by then ill be 50, and will have had a decent life???   and, if you believe in mayan or aztec calendars, the end of days will be dec 21, 2012.  thats only 5 years from now!    isnt this all exciting?
