Back to LA

It's something like 50º outside and i'd never thought i'd say this, oh my that's warm. Just got back from Boston today, and the trip makes me really appreciate the wonderful warm weather we have here. It didn't get above freezing for most of the trip. When we first got in, i don't think i've ever been colder walking from the airport door to the car, and car to hotel door. So short, but so cold.

Aside from the cold thought the trip was pretty awesome. BU was cool, and i really think my portfolio review went well, (i couldn't tell for sure because i couldn't totally understand the professor, but whatever) and Boston seems like a really cool town. I got to see the the hockey team beat Providence (yay!) in BU's nice, new arena. And i got to see some pretty nice art at the MFA. All in all a pretty good trip. I will be interesting to see if i end up there next year.

Boston (Tomorrow)

Just want to say oh, my god! I leave in 15 hours i'm not nearly ready. i have no idea what to wear while i'm there (i can't believe i just typed that by the way), and i'm freaking out in so many other ways i can't count them all.

Just need to blab that.

Time till leaving for Boston: 15 hours
Time till my Birthday: 1 day 40 minutes

We win!!!

Guess who just beat La Cañada 1-0? Hmm....how 'bout us?!?!?!

I can't remember the last time i was this happy about a win. I really can't. It's so awesome. I hate LC so much (for reasons i won't no into here. I'll just say it's mostly attributed to my less than warm fuzzy feelings about a particular person,) and it feels soooo good to stick it to them.

Ok, gloat over.

On a less happy note, i have so much homework/finals prep this weekend that i have no idea how i'm going to get it all done with my work ethic. I'll just have to buckle down and do it. I can do it...i swear...

Days left till Boston: 4

Days till my 18th Birthday: 5

grin.

Boondock Saints

This day, for the most part at least, was pretty crappy.

But, that's not what matters about today. What matters about today is that i finally saw The Boondock Saints. The WHOLE thing! No interruptions, no falling asleep, no dvd play malfunction, and no body changing the movie for a surfing flick; no anything except me Sara and the movie. Grin.

And with that i'm off to bed.

Running and Revanmping

Added a new piece to my digital art page and rearranged its layout too. Over the next few days (or more likely weeks) I'll be looking to add on strait up pictures page and possibly shots of my conventional art too, so keep an eye out.

Oh, and i just wanted to brag i've gone running completely on my own for both yesterday and today. Go me!

The LACMA

Went to see the Phillips exhibit today at the LACMA and...wow. Reproductions of those paintings don't even begin to do them justice. I was struck by Degas' Melancholy and i thought all of Pierre Bonnard's (who i had never heard of before) work, Rivera in particular, was amazing. The Monets were as beautiful as expected, and Renoir's Luncheon of the Boating Party did not disappoint.

Also saw Spanglish with Sara last night. Nice movie. Sweet, doesn't over reach and offers a non-fairy tale ending that vindicates the previous two hours of film.

Oh and taking Which Dysfunctional Care Bear Are You? i some how got:



could someone please explain?

A New Year

So the new year's here and i'm already back in school again. The rest of Mammoth was a blast (particularly Sunday), but thank goodness this week started on Wednesday otherwise i don't think i would have made it thru the week. Hopefully though, with all the stuff i have going on and have to get done this month, the rest of the month will fly by. LACMA this weekend (Renoir's The Boating Party!!!), boarding in the locals the next, and all the while preparing my portfolio for its review on January the 28 in BOSTON!!!!! I'm so excited for that. I sorta scared that i don't have enough "from direct observation" stuff, but i'm trying to remedy that over the course of the rest of the month. All that and i turn 18 the day before the big critique.
