Man, I am ridiculously tired right now. No reason for it, just a sack of lazy bones. OJ mentioned that he'd be using his blog (should he ever write a blog, ahem) mostly to just update everyone on what he's currently reading and listening to. Which is a cool idea. I'm really not listening to anything in particular...still on my classic rock kick (Boston + Bad Company + Foreigner = Awesome) and book wise I've just kind of rediscovered Lynda Barry. I found a couple of her books in the mass of my old crap I pulled from mom's warehouse. **Swoons, and then says in the dreamy voice of a 14-year-old** Oh my god, it's like she was writing my life! Heh, well, all the insecurity without the boyfriends. They're in a comic strip format and they're surprisingly poignant. Turns out she sporadically travels around teaching two day writing seminars that look like a lot of fun. Next one's in Chicago in January. I wonder if mom would be up for a leetle trippy?
Ooh, Arianna Huffington is giving blogging advice to Jon Stewart right now. She says to write the first thing that comes to mind...so I'm on the right track!
Big math test today. It took us about 1 and 1/2 hours to complete it. I'm a little sketchy on probabilities, i.e. combinations and permutations (which is a shame because you can take that shit to Vegas). So I got two wrong out of 19. The fucked up thing is that all her tests are set up in such a way that if you miss more than 1 problem, you already have a B (17/19 = 0.894% motherfucker!). I'm bitter, can you tell?
Next blog: I may talk about my favorite cheese (Hint: It's spreadable)!
Sad Sack
I am Sad Sack
First Blog
And hopefully not the last. But you know how these things go. This is a family experiment, per OJ's idea that the five of us cousins each keep a blog. A way of keeping tabs on each other.
Here are my statistics, as of right now:
I'm 29.
I'm single.
I'm unemployed.
I'm at least 50 pounds overweight.
I'm an optimist.
I'm working on a mural at school right now with two other artists. It's a reproduction of a student's interpretation of Picasso's Guernica. You'd think that wouldn't entail much creativity and you'd be mostly wrong. The other two have taken the template and run away with it, which is great. I've been trying to make the pieces I'm working on as close to the (student's) original as possible. Hopefully, it's become a sort of framework for the rest of the painting. We'll see. It's monochromatic, all reds and kind of jarring. I can't wait to see it on the wall. Okay, I can wait. I don't really give a fuck. But it's been pretty entertaining and kind of fun. We (team mural) had an argument of sorts today. We have to trim off four inches from the mural to accommodate a fire alarm and the dissonance centered around which four inches to cut off. It was two of us against one...but I eventually backed off when I realized that A) I didn't really give a fuck and B) If so and so didn't get his way he would be fucking impossible. The fight kind of went out of me after that point.
I worked on that for about seven hours and then after that I really wanted a sandwich. So, after weighing my choices, I opted for the counter at Raley's supermarket. When I got there, it was closed. Those motherfuckers. It was 8:30 or something. I wandered around aimlessly, like some kind of lost, fat, paint-covered (in varying shades of blood-like red) crazy person. Finally, I decided to make my own damn sandwich...and after more aimless wandering and clueless avocado squeezing (what exactly am I looking for?), I bought all the ingredients for a delectable veggie sandwich.
And for the bargain price of only $10.69!
