firing neurons

today i spent the entirety of my brand management class writing a list of all the czech words i could remember.

yesterday it was a list of recipes i wanted to try.

tuesday. modern artists with catchy names.

there should be a book full of all the random doodle scrap pages that people make during ridiculously long and mundane classes. it would be like found magazine. i write and draw the most disconnected shit when i get bored (see Figures 1-7). i think everyone does.

Figure 1. tree

Figure 2. some megasaurus action

Figure 3. while learning about medieval fashion

Figure 4. houses upon houses upon houses upon houses...

Figure 5. i copied emily's falling triangle doodle...then she noticed

Figure 6. i seem to like doodling dinosaurs. and making observations.

Figure 7. my croquis expressed a lot of concern for our studio

no really. let's compile a book of them.

may 25th

there are exactly 220 days left in the year.

on this day in history:

• 1787: In Philadelphia our forefathers convene a Constitutional Convention to write a new Constitution for the US
• 1925: John T. Scopes is indicted for teaching Darwin's theory of evolution.
• 1926: Miles Davis is born
• 1977: Stars Wars is released
• 2001: first annual "Towel Day," a commemoration of the life and work of author Douglas Adams (The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy)

see. today wasn't just any other day.

states of transition

decorating an apartment is expensive. but fun.

yes, the paper lantern is ripped. yes, that lamp shade is wonky.

our apartment is too big. we need more furniture.
on margarita night we made plaster casts of our arms and legs:

yes, we're creepy art nerds.

life is slow. and made up of random occurrences and coincidences that don't seem to add up. but somehow do.

side note:
if interested, the bootleg from the radiohead show in charlotte can be had here.

one for yes, two for no

pretty killer live. became one of my favorite songs after hearing them play it at bonnaroo. it was nice that they played it again.

talk show host
another of my favs that doesn't usually get a lot of live play. pleasant surprise.

15 step and nude
two of, what i think, are the best songs off 'in rainbows'

phenomenal show. awesome sound. insane lighting. silly thom dancing. superhero references. eyebrow wiggles. :)

kiss it goodbye

sometimes people act like a douche bag,

even though they aren't a douche bag.

and that's usually worse than if they really are a total douche bag.

because then you don't expect it.

growing up

i felt old today. this is the second time i've felt that way.

the first time occurred on my 20th birthday. i was walking back to the apartment in paris after celebrating my birthday by eating fondue and drinking too much wine. we ran into a group of drunk french kids hanging out in the street. we started talking to them and found out they were only 14. then they had to leave because apparently the police were coming and they were too young to be caught drunk.

the second time occurred today. i had a great lunch with some friends and then we decided to go roller skating. i really didn't expect there to be many, if any, people our age there roller skating. (even though there should be because it's fun) we were getting our roll on when Britney Spears' "Baby One More Time" came on. it was then that we realized half the people in that roller rink hadn't been born when that song first came out.

20. that isn't old at all. that's only a fourth of the average female life span. i suppose it was absurd for me to feel that way.
