leave the rotten parts

i feel somewhat like all the creativity has been leeched directly out of my brain, and placed into a potent mojo-cocktail hidden somewhere far from my grasp. or maybe it's gone forever. blargh. i need to start looking for a job, so i'll really have something to complain about again.

semester is over in about 2.5 weeks. yay.

anyway, i did a few flash assignments:
flag thing
yin yang thing
menu thing
(note usage of ancient artwork that i should stop trying to pretend i'm still capable of doing)

thought processes

i had a fairly long conversation with a friend today. it was about the positive psychological impact of painting one's bedroom. call me paranoid, but sometimes it feels as though wall paint is a million semi-glossy eyeballs and ears that see and hear every filthy secret, conversation, and night's sleep that has ever taken place within its confines. for people who have a hard time letting go of the past (or are a bit nutty in general), blinding all those little eyes and plugging all those little ears is downright therapeutic. granted, they're just being plugged with more eyes and ears.. but it's so you can let go, start over, have a clear mind, and maybe mute a few of those horribly loud voices in one's head. then, you can repeat the process in a few years when you feel like the walls have seen and heard too much again. on that note, i'm ending this paragraph now.

random factoid: i haven't painted my walls for approximately 8 years. is it any coincidence that i'm LOSING MY MIND? i think not.

i'm pleased that my mini-vacation has started today. so far, i've spent it doing absolutely nothing, while sitting at the computer in my penguin-covered pajama pants. also on my agenda is: doing even more nothing while sitting at the computer in my penguin-covered pajama pants.

q) why would someone so interested in mindbuggery and artistic stuff go for a potential computer engineering major?

a) art degrees would make more people successful if they were $5 scratch tickets
b) because she can
c) sick desire to overachieve in all possible facets of life instead of focusing on just one
d) all of the above

fast food and alchemy

i've somehow managed to get 100 on every algebra test for the past 2 months, including the midterm. school is still going well (duh), and i have a little mini-vacation this week. i just finished my lit paper, doing review/watching a movie in classes this week, then i get monday off. feels nice not having anything major due.. just some flash work, which i enjoy doing anyway.

i ate burger king again. it gets me sick every time i eat it, but i still do it every so often. i wonder when i'll learn.. maybe when i find a finger or rat tail in the sweet sauce.

i've been watching full metal alchemist, which i've been enjoying quite a bit. i haven't really watched much anime in the past year or so.. guess i've been overdue. anyway, grm is sending me all the episodes, so i can watch them from the squishy blankety comfort of my computer chair.

digitally assimilated

holy crap, google is taking over my life. it's been my homepage for like 7+ years, my primary email is gmail, and they also own blogger and the hello/picasa thing i just signed up for. all i really have to say is: the price is right. i have no complaints, because for some reason most of the free services i use have been more reliable than the stuff i've paid for.

anyhow, not much else to say. this is my new self-indulgent home in a sea of unique people just like me. please remove your shoes before coming in or i'll take them off myself and toss them out the billion-story window of my little internet penthouse.

yeah

it feels like moving back into a tiny apartment after having a nice big house you could run around naked in all day.
